A Film Queen

Chapter 376

In the courtly atmosphere, Director Cameron’s introduction of Hannah bore a grace that softened her countenance, albeit a tinge of lingering resentment persisted. “Greetings, one and all. I am Hannah Lloyd, honoured to partake in this spectacle’s recording. May our journey be rich and fruitful.”

Her words, though decorous, adhered to the conventional script of formalities.

Following suit was Stephanie, with a simple, “Hello, everyone. I am Stephanie Burnett, an actress. Thank you for your attention.”

Then, Dakota chimed in warmly, “Hi, I’m Dakota Jennings. Pleasure to make your acquaintance.”

And then came William, a tempest of flourish and bravado, “Ta-da! Salutations, esteemed company! I am William, and permit me the grandeur of my introduction. I am the zenith of grace in the FX esports fraternity, a darling of prowess and allure. Uncertain of how to address me? Kindly dub me the Lord William, unparalleled in every measure, resolutely pursuing triumph and regal eminence!”

Incredulous glances darted among the assembled.

These thespians were well-versed in the art of composure, adept at distancing

themselves from discomfort, a craft instilled from their earliest days of professional tutelage to ward off external distractions during performances. Yet, even these stalwarts of stagecraft found themselves desiring a refuge to escape the echoes of William’s cringe-inducing soliloquy.

Director Cameron, seasoned in the ways of such exhibitions, could not stifle a twitch at the audacious proclamation.

Hannah’s introduction, succinct and deliberate, betrayed a wary wisdom, mindful that protracted discourse might eclipse the spotlight from others during the broadcast. None could have anticipated William’s indifference, his facile delivery of self-praise, redolent with audacity and bravura.

Director Cameron managed a strained smile, “Great introduction, I reckon. Brimming with vigour…
