Chapter 1702


    Daniel nced 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 sincerelyplimenting me?" Maisie asked as he yed 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!"


    Maisie 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 rtionships 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 coulde, 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?"


    All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org.


    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.


    Lily 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 hadsted 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 coboration."


    "Coboration?"


    The assistant handed Lily''s information.


    Daniel took a nce. To put it simply, Lily did not waste her family''s business genes. She had founded


    her own


    culturalpany 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 coboration does she


    want?"
