Married a Secret Billionaire
Chapter 1782

Daniel was worried but didn't want to show it too clearly, so he pretended to ask calmly, "What authors did she introduce to you?"

Maisie smiled but didn't answer. She made an excuse about having to visit the publishing company and left ahead of time.

Daniel followed closely behind, not letting her go alone. He claimed that the area they were currently in was remote, not good for hailing cabs, and there wasn't much public transport, so he insisted on driving her.

After a tug-of-war, Maisie couldn't resist anymore and finally got into his car.

SL Publishing was hosting a small afternoon tea party.

The tea party wasn't grand, but it had high value, mostly filled with top-notch professionals in the field.

Lily used her connections to pave the way for her authors. As a promising new writer with impressive achievements, Maisie was naturally among those Lily paid attention to.

Throughout the event, Lily weaved through the crowd with Maisie, introducing her enthusiastically to literary giants or well-known booksellers.

"This is my newly signed author. She has great potential!... Oh yes, that's the book. It's quite popular now, isn't it? Hahaha..."

"Hey there, Mr. West! Long time no see!... She's like my little sister. Her writing skills are impeccable, and her storytelling is especially clever. She's gained some popularity on many online platforms, with quite a following!"

"Have you seen the bestseller list? She's on the latest issue!"

"What? Really?" Lily laughed heartily. "Yes! My little sister! So, please take care of her and offer your guidance!"

While Lily was in high spirits, Daniel stood not far away, watching with a gradually deepening gaze.

Not too long after, Lily finally had an ominous feeling and sneezed several times in a row. She asked Rachael to check the air conditioning, and the latter reported back, "Ms. Reyes, it's working fine. It's exactly set at 25°C, the most comfortable temperature for the human body!"

"Weird..." Lily muttered. She then turned around abruptly and saw Daniel with a glower!

She finally understood what was going on. It turned out that a killing look wasn't just a literary expression...

Lily composed herself and approached Daniel with a smile and a cup of Earl Grey tea. She politely greeted him, inviting him to have some snacks.

Daniel gave her an annoyed side-eye.

"So, um... How's this tea party going?" Lily tried to strike up a conversation, sounding cheerful.

Daniel asked in a serious tone, "Isn't Maisie a writer? Does she need to attend these gatherings? Does she need to be your PR girl?"

"Oh, please, don't be so harsh with your words! This is a proper afternoon tea party attended by literary figures!"

"Heh, literary figures?" Daniel scoffed. "So-called sophisticated misfits, right?"

"You..." Lily could smell the jealousy on him. She was not oblivious to his sour attitude, but being a woman herself, she empathized more with Maisie's experiences.

Hence, she chose to ignore Daniel's glower and teased him, "Old man, you wouldn't understand. Sophisticated misfits are the kind of guys girls love these days! Just so happens that a few authors who just joined my company fit that type. I'll introduce them to Maisie later!"
