"What?"

Lily eagerly shared her plan with Maisie, "Harvey is an illustrator. I'm planning to create an illustrated version of your book since it's trendy. We'll market it immediately and earn more money!"

Lily continued. "I think he has a great style. I'm considering having him illustrate all our books. Take a look at his work and have a conversation with him."

Maisie hesitated and said, "Um..."

Lily quickly discerned the issue. "What? Are you worried about upsetting Daniel?"

Maisie smiled awkwardly.

Lily reassured her, "It's just a job. Don't worry about him. You'll only communicate with Harvey during working hours. You'll go home on your own, right? If you still have concerns..." She glanced around and whispered, "I'll be with you guys during work. With me around, there's nothing Daniel can say!"

Rachael entered with Harvey.

He greeted them with a polite smile and called out to Lily enthusiastically.

Then he turned to Maisie, saying, "I've met you before, at the tea party and hospital. Something odd happened on both occasions. I'm happy to properly meet you today, Maisie." Lily teased him, "Mm-hmm, take a good look at her!"

He smiled. "Lily, the saying, 'There are no weak troops under a strong general', applies perfectly to you! You're charismatic, and your writers are beautiful. Are you trying to outshine other publishing companies?"

A charming man's sweet words were always captivating, especially when he was as good-looking as Harvey.

Maisie chuckled, looking down. If someone else said it, it might seem clichéd, but coming from him, it worked.

Harvey approached Maisie with her book in his hands.

She was surprised when he showed her his drawing book.

The drawings were beautiful, with muted colors and smooth touches-exactly her preferred style.

"I've read your book," he said. "I designed these scenes following your book. What do you think? I can make edits if needed."

Lily added, "I also contacted another illustrator, Toph Hamerton, from Centrolis. He did a test drawing for a few chapters. You can compare to see which one you prefer."

Maisie recalled that the second heir of the Hamertons was also an outstanding artist. Perhaps he excelled in techniques, but she preferred the warmth in Harvey's drawings. It suited her style. "Choose wisely, Maisie." Harvey's smile was carefree.

Leaning on the table, he softly blew his fringe, almost covering his eyes. "Lily, you better choose carefully too. Toph charges more than I do!"

"You cheeky kid!" Lily joked, "Do you think your rates are low?"

He smirked and looked at Maisie. "I'm a sensitive person. If someone appreciates my work, I'll do a great job even if I don't make much money. Money isn't everything!"

Lily smiled. Just then, a woman entered.

Maisie was surprised. The sound of her heels echoed loudly, and her perfume was overpowering.

The woman wore a royal blue suit, exuding overbearingness and contempt.

However, Harvey's expression soured when he saw her.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Reyes," she apologized. "Did Harvey cause trouble again? What nonsense is he spouting now?"
