Daniel glanced at the news article that Maisie was writing—a piece she had copied from a senior.
Maisie looked concerned. "Is it bad? It always feels too deliberate when I copy. I just don't like it, no matter how I
look at it."
"I think it's not bad." Daniel smiled after reading. "It's organized with clear points, and the writing is smooth. It's just
the words you used are not poignant enough. It's too soft."
"Are you sincerely complimenting me?" Maisie asked as he played with her hair, his eyes filled with allure.
He shared his honest thoughts, "When writing an article, especially those by journalists, you need an attitude that
isn't afraid of offending people. It's impossible to take care of everyone's feelings.
"So, be strict when you should be, and criticize when needed. You can't be weak, nor do you have to show mercy.
People might not care for your mercy!"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMaisie pondered. "Oh..."
"Don't worry about making enemies," he assured. "One must have a couple of enemies to live in this world!"
"So that's why you said you're not a good person?" she asked.
"Hmm. I indeed had many enemies before," he admitted. "But I don't have many now. I'm trying my best to build
good relationships with people."
"Why?"
"Because I have you now," he confessed, holding her hands. "I was afraid that if I had many enemies, they'd go for
you when they couldn't touch me. You're my biggest weakness now."
Maisie was stunned, holding her head down.
At that moment, the doorbell rang, surprising them both.
The room was very private. Only a handful of people could come, and it wasn't time to eat yet. Who could it be?
Daniel opened the door, revealing his assistant.
The assistant greeted him.
"Why are you here?!" Daniel was upset.
The assistant smiled awkwardly. "I had no choice. I looked for you all over the office."
"What's up?"
The assistant coughed and said softly, "Mr. Daniel, Lily is back."
Daniel suddenly went outside the room and closed the door softly. "What did you say?"
"Ms. Lily is back."
"So what?" Daniel frowned. "You came all the way here to tell me that? We're no longer talking!"
In reality, nothing was going on between them.
That was something Daniel was unwilling to bring up. He had been married before.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLily Reyes came from a prestigious family. The marriage had been arranged for the benefits of two families, not
considering whether they had feelings for each other.
They had not developed feelings, nor had they had sex. From the first day they got married, they would sleep in
different rooms, behaving like housemates.
The forced marriage had lasted over three years, and they had broken up peacefully. Lily had chosen to go abroad,
while Daniel stayed in Cumulus City.
They didn't even have each other's phone numbers.
Now that she was back, she contacted his assistant?
He squinted. "Why did she look for you?"
"She's back to discuss a collaboration."
"Collaboration?"
The assistant handed Lily's information.
Daniel took a glance. To put it simply, Lily did not waste her family's business genes. She had founded her own
cultural company without depending on her family throughout the years abroad, making quite some money.
"She's artistic and quite good at making money..." Daniel smirked. "What kind of collaboration does she want?"
