Meanwhile, Camila acted admirably, refraining from engaging in conflicts. Subsequently, she secured employment, seemingly navigating through roles in a couple of smaller companies.At the peak of her career, she held a managerial position, but for reasons unknown, she had recently been idling at home, reveling in domestic life.If it weren't for Daniel's assistant mentioning her, he would have almost forgotten about her existence. Their communication had dwindled to the point of near non-existence. The extent of their interaction involved cordial greetings during family dinners, after which she would retreat to her own space.Feeling a surge of chaos in his mind, Daniel took a deep breath and massaged his temples. Amidst this internal turmoil, a sudden touch startled him—a pair of gentle hands.Turning around, he was met with Maisie's starry eyes. She dressed him warmly, remarking, "It's chilly at night. Don't catch a cold standing here."She glanced at him shyly, and she disappea

"Don't worry. It's my treat." Daniel glanced at Camila, "Order anything you want.""It's fine, really," Camila smiled. "Daniel, you might be curious as to why I can't even bear to buy a cup of coffee…"In reality, this is my life at home. I appear glorious on the outside as a Quimby heiress, but only I know the suffering behind everything. My parents neglect me while my siblings do their best to boycott me."I have a driver when I go out, I have food when I go home, but none of those belong to me. My jobs were the only things that belonged to me all these years."She looked sad, and it was the first time she had said so much to him."Daniel, I-I'm sorry," she stammered. "I used your name to work for Ms. Lily. She's your ex-wife, so I…""It's alright. It's just a job," he said flatly. "It's good that Lily could help you.""So you don't mind it?""Why would I?""Don't worry, Daniel." She bit her lip. "I'll do my best. I won't embarrass you."Daniel nodded. He did not worry abou

Lily beamed as she said, "I'm buying, so we can go anywhere you want!"After work, they arrived at a restaurant, and Lily, always generous in entertaining, chose a high-end one. She even extended the invitation to her colleagues, including famous authors and their agents. Among them was Camila.They chatted happily in the private room. The famous authors expressed confidence in Maisie, eagerly anticipating her new book to create history for the company."See? So many people are confident about you. I told you that you're great, remember?" Lily patted Maisie's shoulder, smiling. "I told you not to work as a journalist back then. Why would you want to do that? I'm glad that Amanda pulled a trick and you ended up not taking the journalist examination! I should thank her!""Ahem, boss..." Rachael signaled urgently from the side."Oh, no, no... Look at me!" Lily corrected herself. "I wanted to say that even without Amanda, you wouldn't be able to get the press pass either!"Some peopl

"Will you stay here with me?" Maisie asked.Daniel smiled and gently patted Maisie's head, wrapping her in a tight embrace.However, Maisie found it difficult to succumb to sleep when the person she loved was beside her. She opened her eyes and gazed at him, savoring every moment and reluctant to let time slip away in slumber."Why are you looking at me like this?" Daniel asked with a smile."I suddenly don't feel like sleeping anymore. Can we talk?" Maisie requested.He nodded and smiled, extending his hand to pat her head."Daniel.""What is it?""Why do you love patting my head so much? It's like I'm a kitten or a puppy!" Maisie blurted out unintentionally, noticing a change in his expression.Daniel examined his hand, his fingertips trembling. It seemed like a subconscious habit, triggering a recollection of Maisie saying similar words in the past, albeit with pain and despair echoing through her screams."I'm not a puppy or a kitten. I'm the woman who loves you! I don't

"By the way, I've been meaning to talk to you." Camila walked alongside her in the corridor. "There are some parts of your manuscript that aren't quite right. I've marked them for you, and you need to make some changes.""More changes?" Maisie felt a pang of anxiety. Since the manuscript had landed in Camila's hands, it had been undergoing constant revisions.Camila always said that, in her professional opinion, this part wasn't right and that part wasn't right... Maisie made changes according to her suggestions, and the manuscript had lost a bit of its original essence in the process.However, her main concern was that the deadline on the signed contract was approaching. If they kept changing things, what if it led to a delay? The penalty for breach of contract was a substantial amount, and she didn't want to have to pay such a large sum before the book was even sold."Camila." Maisie forced a smile, trying to test the waters. "Can we stop making changes? If we keep going... the m
