Chapter 1733


    Daniel was also taken aback but skillfully concealed his surprise. A t greeting was all she received


    from him.


    While Rachael guided Cam through the office, Daniel discreetly pulled Lily aside to seek rification


    about the


    situation.


    Lily''s smile was tinged with awkwardness as she exined, "She came for an interview. Initially, she


    applied for a


    managerial position, but I discovered her writing skills. She used to be an editor, so I roped her in to


    handle editing


    work temporarily. I''m short-staffed!"


    N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.


    "That''s not what I''m asking!" Daniel''s tone was stern as he red at her. "Why did you hire her?"


    "Oh..." Lily scratched her head, admitting, "I only found out that she''s your cousin after doing a


    background check


    two days ago."


    "Lily!" Daniel widened his eyes in disbelief. "We were married, after all. Didn''t you see her at my home


    back then?"


    "Hey, hey, hey!" Lily retorted, "Don''t use me. I''m worried that Maisie will misunderstand more than


    you do! We


    lived separately as soon as we got married. When have I stayed at your ce?"


    "You didn''t, but you visited whenever we had family dinner!"


    "Hey, those were banquets! I have face blindness. I can''t remember faces. I never met her back then,


    okay!"


    Daniel fell into silence. It made sense. Cam had a low presence. Lily aside, he struggled to recall


    what she looked


    like sometimes.


    Nobody in the whole family paid much attention to her. Being the adoptive daughter in such arge


    family was


    undoubtedly a lonely position.


    Daniel pouted helplessly. As he was about to leave, Lily called out to him.


    "Why did you react like that? Do you guys have beef?"


    "No." He paused. "I just thought she never fit in among our family members. To be honest, I don''t really


    know her.


    So please keep an eye out for her. Don''t let your guard down just because she''s family."


    "You don''t have to worry about that." Lily chuckled. "I''ll keep my guard up!"


    He nodded and left, coincidentally encountering Cam at the office''s turn.


    She had traversed the entire office with Rachael, organized her desk, and was now rearranging the


    drafts she


    needed to edit.


    She wore her usual honest smile, "Daniel, do you have time for a chat?"


    He weed the idea.


    They descended to a cafe where Cam opted for aplimentary ss of water after checking the


    menu.


    "Is there nothing you''d like to drink here?" Daniel asked casually. "We can go somewhere else if you


    don''t like this


    ce."


    "No." She squeezed a smile, "It''s too... expensive. The coffee here costs 5 dors per cup."


    Daniel was stunned. She was a Quimby heiress who could easily afford a cup of coffee.


    He scrutinized his cousin, noting her ordinary dress,ck of makeup, and unassuming appearance.


    Amidst well-


    dressed office workers, she seemed out of ce.


    She appeared normal, dressed normally, and had little presence, even in the office building.
