A Film Queen

Chapter 375

“A wild suitcase? Remarkable, even the sewers have taken to spawning luggage now?”

Before long, a voice both loud and theatrical echoed from beyond the threshold, prompting Milly to raise an eyebrow in curiosity. The timbre of that voice struck a familiar chord within her memory.

Presently, a figure materialised in the doorway, bearing a neatly cropped head of hair, eyes sparkling with mischievous delight, and a countenance brimming with youthful exuberance. It could only be William, whose absence had been keenly felt.

Could this indeed be the final participant Director Cameron had mentioned?

Director Cameron, visibly pleased, rose to his feet and moved forward to greet him. “William, at last, you have arrived! Come in, we’ve all been waiting for you.”

The moment William crossed the threshold, Dakota’s eyes shone with enthusiasm, and she sprang to her feet. “Oh! You’re William? FX’s William?! I’ve watched your matches, you’re phenomenal!”

William raised an eyebrow, lifting his chin with a roguish air. “Please, address me by my full title.”

Dakota, clearly thrilled by his attention, responded with palpable excitement. “Alright, William Tate.”

William, however, shook his finger at her. “From now on, refer to me as the Greatest Striker of the Universe’s Most Elite E-Sports Team, FX, and the Supreme Overlord of both Beauty and Skill, Lord William!”
