The Whole World Seems To Be Falling For My Wife

Chapter 61

Chapter 61 Ask Miss Jenkins

Having a height difference of nearly 8 inches, Maria had to raise her head when she looked at Jay.

"Oh, yeah.Thank you for reminding me."

There wasn't much expression on Maria's face, but her voice seemed to be a little cold.

However, it wasn't really because she was annoyed at Jay.

This was her normal speaking tone since she didn't have much opportunity to be close to people.

"Miss Jenkins, can I see you for a minute? I have to talk with you alone."

As Jeremy approached Maria, he slightly turned his head sideways, signaling her to follow him.

Judging from the boss's firm and strict tone, the crew thought that even though Francis selected Maria, Jeremy seemed to also have no confidence in her either.

They couldn't help but think that Francis must have gone insane after suffering from a serious allergy attack.

After all, who in their right mind would choose Maria to become the acting chief director? But just as Maria and Jeremy walked into a quiet place on the set, the dignified CEO suddenly heaved a sigh of relief, wearing such a flattering smile.

In fact, he looked even more enthusiastic compared to how Lyndsey acted earlier.

"Thank you very much, Mia! No one expected that Francis would suddenly become ill.It's going to be really hard to find another suitable director to replace him on such short notice.Luckily, we have you here!"

Maria nodded, shrugging her shoulders slightly.

"Well, I guess."

"Anyway, do you need me to assist you in taking care of this thing?" Jeremy asked in a low voice, genuinely offering his help.

The truth was that he was only worried that someone in the crew wouldn't obey Maria's instructions as the new director.

After all, not everyone knew who she really was, and they might undermine her authority.

If someone caused any trouble or offended Maria, Jeremy did not know what he would do to get her forgiveness.

"No need.I can handle this by myself," Maria answered without batting an eye.

She was confident enough to shoulder the responsibility.

In fact, not only was she sure that she could handle directing the shoot but also managing the hundreds of people on the crew.

Jeremy was actually stunned after hearing her response, but it was followed by a deep sigh of relief.He remembered that long ago, he also didn't take Maria seriously because of her seemingly unsophisticated appearance and aloof behavior.

This was a mistake that most people committed.

They were quick to judge her without seeing what she was really capable of.

But Maria proved her ability again and again by producing outstanding results.

Now, Jeremy had accepted the fact that she was almost omnipotent as if there was nothing she couldn't do.

"Then, what should I..."

Jeremy actually wanted to ask if she wanted him to stay on the crew just in case she needed something.

But Maria waved her hand casually and interrupted him, "You can go ahead and just do your real job.I can manage here." Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

"If that's what you say.Then, okay!"

Jeremy was overjoyed that Maria was willing to do it.

After a while, Jeremy eventually came back to the crew.

Everyone's brows slightly furrowed after noticing that their boss was in a good mood.

"Mr.Bradley, what should we do now?"

The assistant director stepped forward and asked what was in everyone's mind right now.

However, Jeremy was surprised.He then shook his head and patted the assistant director on the shoulder.

"Why are you asking me that? Do you have a short attention span?"

"What do you mean?"

The assistant director was so confused, not understanding why Jeremy suddenly scolded him.

Seeing the reaction of the assistant director, Jeremy sulked further.

"Didn't you hear me say earlier that Miss Jenkins will be the one in charge of every work arrangement of the crew until Francis comes back? So, why am I the one you're asking?"

Leaving everyone speechless, Jeremy suddenly remembered that he had a date with a female star tonight.So, he turned around and went away in high spirits.So, this was really happening.

Jeremy left the filming duties in Maria's hands.It took the crew a long time to actually absorb that it wasn't just a joke.

Eventually, they saw Maria walking steadily towards them, her expression still the same as ever.

But when Maria took a seat, everyone raised their eyebrows and was stunned.It was because she casually sat in Francis’ exclusive seat.

Next to it was the megaphone that he often used during filming.

Then, without hesitation, she picked up the megaphone and turned it on.

With a rather flat tone, she said, "We're starting in a few minutes.Get ready."

If it was Francis, the whole crew would immediately execute the order.

All departments would get ready and man their stations.

But now that Maria was the one giving the orders, they looked somewhat sluggish.

However, while everyone was still procrastinating, they saw that Lyndsey was already on standby.

Although Jay still didn't like this outcome, he had to cast aside his pride for now.

He was a professional actor, and he must cooperate even if the conditions weren't ideal.

Seeing that the hero and heroine were already prepared, the extras, lighting directors, and photographers didn't dare to dilly-dally anymore.

They immediately got ready so they could start filming.

Finally, the shooting ensued.

Before Francis went down with his allergy attack, he had already told them the scenes that they were going to do in the afternoon.

Even without the original chief director, the whole shooting team was part of the elites in this industry.

Moreover, with Lyndsey and Jay taking the lead roles, the whole shooting process had gone smoothly.

But after all the targeted scenes were done, the crew realized that something was wrong.

Although it seemed that everything was going well...

Maria had done nothing except shout "ACTION’, "NG", and "CUT".

She didn't really guide the actors and actresses on how to do the scene, nor did she command the lighting directors and photographers.

In fact, they thought that she wasn't really making a real contribution.

Anyone could easily do what she was doing.

It was as if she didn't know how to direct at all.

She was just pretending to.
