?Chapter 756:


    Fannie replied quickly, “Elena, since you’re on a roll, why don’t you design another one for me?”


    Elena replied with just two words, “Too busy.”


    Fannie responded with a funny emoji of someone yfully rolling and begging.


    Elena really didn’t have the time.


    Mauricio Ortiz, the famous international director, had turned Elena’s novel into a movie. The movie had already been a huge hit in theaters and won the most important award in the movie business, the Golden Horizon Awards.


    As the person who wrote the movie script and the original book, Elena had been asked to attend the movie’s celebration party. At first, she didn’t want to go, but Mauricio kept insisting, saying the party wouldn’t be the same without her.


    Mauricio was not only the director who recognized Elena’s talent, but also a good friend.


    In the end, Elena agreed to go and nned to fly to Avaloria the next day for the party.


    After drying her hair, Elena turned off the lights and got ready to sleep. But as soon as she closed her eyes, she kept seeing Wesley’s face, filled with emotion. It felt like something was stirring in her heart.


    The next day, after saying goodbye to her family, Elena left the house. She wore a simple sweater and jeans, with a loose gray coat and a baseball cap.


    When Elena arrived in Avaloria, Mauricio was already waiting for her at the airport.


    The moment Elena walked out of the airport, Mauricio gave her a big hug. “Oh, Elena, it’s so wonderful to see you!”


    Elena smiled slightly. “You’re being too kind, Mauricio.”


    Mauricio was in his forties but looked like he was only in his thirties. His hair wasbed back neatly, and he wore a fitted suit. With his neat beard, he looked—


    He looked like a sophisticated gentleman. He was dressed very formally, as if he were going to a fancy event.


    “You have no idea how much I’ve missed you,” Mauricio gushed. It had been four long years since he’dstid eyes on this stunning, mysterious author.

    Mauricio was one of the privileged few who knew the secret: the internationally acimed and enigmatic author “Helena” was none other than Elena herself.


    Elena had two pen names: “Lena” for her local work and “Helena” for her international bestsellers. Both names were synonymous with literary genius.


    The award-winning film this time around was an adaptation of her fantasy masterpiece, The Enchanted, published under her “Helena” pseudonym.


    Mauricio’s eyes swept over Elena’s clothes, and he shook his head with a yful frown. “Helena, while you’re undeniably gorgeous, I simply must insist on a makeover. Tonight’s a masquerade ball, darling, and there’ll be a horde of ridiculously handsome men there!”


    Elena barely had time to unpack at the hotel before she was whisked away to get mmed up.


    Mauricio picked out a breathtaking red gown with a daringly high slit. An hourter, Elena emerged,pletely and utterly transformed.


    When Mauricioid eyes on her, his eyes widened, and he burst into enthusiastic apuse. “Oh my, Helena, you’re absolutely stunning! Trust me, there isn’t a woman on this damn more beautiful than you right now!”


    Even though Elena was naturally gorgeous without a stitch of makeup, the makeover perfectly entuated her already striking features. The red gown clung to her curves like a second skin, highlighting her wless figure. Her long, flowing hair tumbled down her shoulders in soft, alluring waves, revealing the elegant curve of her neck.
