''Ladies and gentlemen, we have landed in Bahrain International Airport. The temperature outside is 25 C. We hope the flight was comfortable, and we hope you choose Emirates again,' announced the pilot. Soon, my associates in Bahrain came to receive me and Sareena and dropped us off at our hotel. I checked into my room and jumped into the shower. I opened a bottle of complementary wine and sipped it while relaxing in the bathtub.

Tomorrow is a big day. I have my first meeting as a producer. I am excited but nervous. For one thing, I am sure the movie is going to be amazing. The story is on point, and with increasing charm among the audience for F1, it's going to be a hit at the box office, and most importantly, Lewis is there to guide the story so that there is no bullshit regarding racing. I am not worried about my investment but rather about my debut as a serious businesswoman.
Suddenly, my phone buzzes, and I see a message from Thalia.
MAMAMIA GURLS

Thalia-
Someone is going to meet mr.green eyes!😏

Claire-

Me-
Ohh shut it whore!i won't even meet him
Claire-
You will i can sense it🔮
Me-
🖕🏻🖕🏻

I was about to keep my phone aside when I saw a message from Lewis inviting me for dinner with him and the director of the movie. I replied,' Sure, I'll be there in 15 minutes.' I got ready in a white, ripped, backless dress.

                                                                                   What's up Bahrain?✨                                                                                   ❤️ Liked by Carlos sainz and 300M othersI informed Sareena abo...

I informed Sareena about my dinner plans and took the elevator to the lobby, where I met Lewis and Joseph Kosinski, the director.
We got seated at the restaurant.
'So Maya, how is life after Oscar? Joseph asked me.
'Well, I did get an offer for two films that are not romances! So far, it's good.' I replied with a smile.
'Why is it so? I mean, I have seen most of your movies; they are great; you are phenomenal', Lewis asked like a concerned parent.
'I know the movies are great; they do well with audiences,but I just don't want to do the same type of work; I want diversity. I am a theater artist. I know I can do a better job than a girl who cries over a boy!' I tried to make him understand. There was a point in my life when I got frustrated over this. I have so much to prove, not just to people but to myself.
''Makes sense to me.'  Joseph replied while sipping his, but I am sure Lewis is not convinced, so he decides to let it go.
'I read your vogue article. You want to debut in direction? Are you coming for my job, Dakota?'  Joseph asked, chucking
'I wish to be good enough like you to do that, but yeah, I wish for that,' I replied honestly, 'but if you don't mind, I would like to join you during shoots whenever my schedule allows, just to, you know, learn the basics.' I asked him, hoping not to get rejected, which he didn't, and he said he would be more than happy to mentor me.
After that, the dinner went smoothly. We talked about the movie, especially the shooting schedule.
'I had a great time, guys! Thank you so much. See you tomorrow,' I said, bidding farewell to both of them.
I went back to the restaurant and bought a few cans of beer. I didn't want to create an image of someone who drinks a lot in front of them. Second, it was only a couple of months ago when Lewis saw me drunk at the bar, so yeah, I'm not taking that risk.
I was standing in the lobby waiting for the lift.
'Do you drink anything other than beer?'  I heard a familiar voice coming from behind me. There he was, standing in all his glory in a light blue Lenin shirt paired with white pants. And let's not forget the legendary smirk plastered on his face.
