"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
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtmanuscript will deviate too far from my original outline!"
"I'm afraid that's not possible." Camila frowned. "Based on my past experience, the way you wrote it wouldn't sell.
Readers wouldn't buy into that kind of writing!"
"I..."
"Maisie, your writing is too gentle. You need to add some impact every once in a while." Camila held Maisie's
shoulders, smiling earnestly. "As long as you follow my editing suggestions, it will surely improve! You don't want to
disappoint Ms. Reyes, right? She's been running around for you these days. If your book sells well, it will be a
consolation for her!"
Maisie bit her lip and nodded slightly after a long pause.
An indecipherable smile flashed across Camila's face.
"Oh, by the way, I overheard your conversation with Racheal just now." She fetched a glass of water and continued.
"So Ms. Reyes likes handsome men and beautiful women, huh? Haha! No, Ms. Reyes likes talented handsome men
and beautiful women!"
"Are you kidding?" Maisie chuckled. "I'm not exactly a beauty."
"Ms. Reyes actually appreciates beauty."
"What?"
"I've always known it." Camila drank and continued. "Even back when she hadn't divorced Daniel, she was still
infatuated with him!"
Maisie, who was stunned, kept staring at her blankly.
Camila seemed not to care about her reaction and continued talking.
"At the time, they were close. Plus, they were a perfect match. It was easy to develop feelings...
Especially during their newlywed period. I remember when I visited them. Ms. Reyes' eyes wouldn't leave Daniel.

Maisie grimaced and clenched the hem of her clothes.
Her thoughts were a bit chaotic.
Hadn't Daniel clearly told her that he and Lily had been only married on paper?
Hadn't Lily moved out as soon as they'd gotten married?
Why would Camila say this...
"Oh, by the way." Camila smiled. "The elders in the family even said that if they had a child, it would definitely be
very beautiful! Then, my sister-in-law would move her eyes away from Daniel and focus on the child..."
"What?" Maisie was stunned. "A child?"
"Oh, sorry, Maisie!" Camila apologized repeatedly. "I didn't mean anything by it... Th-This is all in the past. Look at
me, why am I bringing up these things!"
She seemed quite nervous and repeatedly asked Maisie not to overthink things.
"This... This is all in the past now. Daniel likes you! I said too much just now. Please don't think too much about it,
okay?"
