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 disappeared into the room.

Helpless, he smiled and released a long sigh, pondering when he would finally achieve a personal triumph.

A few days later, he visited Lily's office. The company bore a new sign, "SL Publishing", gleaming prominently. Even the front desk had undergone an impressive renovation.

Daniel remarked, "You certainly didn't spare any expenses in utilizing my funds. Such an incredible renovation must have come at a high cost."

Lily was equally cheerful. "This is an investment, Daniel! We'll deliver the promised bonus at the end of the year. It's not accurate to say we are spending your money. Besides, I wouldn't dare to use your funds frivolously. You're saving it for your little bunny!"

Upon mentioning Maisie, Daniel inquired about her work.

Lily teasingly said, "Aren't you two together every day? You're asking me?"

He pouted, prompting her to shift to a serious tone. "Would you like to hear the truth?"

"Of course."

"Alright. Your little bunny isn't the exceptionally talented type. She's good but not outstanding. Her work takes time to unfold, much like her personality. It's a slow, savory experience. In today's fast-paced world. curiosity sells. Unfortunately, that's not her forte.

"But preferences vary, and there's a niche audience for this. I predict she might not attract a massive following, but those who appreciate her work will remain loyal. It's positive to cultivate a fan base in the niche genre!"

"Hmm... Okay." Daniel responded, showing more concern for Maisie's potential discouragement than the book sales.

"When will her book be published?" he asked.

"At least two months," Lily estimated. "We need proofreading, and we have to discuss the necessary amendments with her. Oh, right!"

Lily called Rachael over. "Is the new editor here? We have a couple of books for her to work on!"

"Yes, yes!" Rachael brought a person in.

"Hi, Ms. Lily."

The voice stunned Daniel.

The suit, properly combed hair, regular features, and a humble and honest smile that was always on her face...

"Daniel?" Camila was surprised, too. "Why are you here?"
