Chapter 1744
The next day, when Maisie arrived at the publishingpany and handed over the revised manuscript
to Cam,
she felt a bit uneasy.
Cam nced at it and praised her. "Much better thanst time. Keep it up!"
"Really?" Maisie widened her eyes in disbelief.

Lately, the constant revisions had left her mentally exhausted, and the repeated rejections had
significantly
undermined her confidence. Cam saying it was better this time was almost unbelievable.
"R-Really?" She was still skeptical. "You think it''s fine?"
"There are still some minor details to polish." Cam smiled and showed her a few books on the
computer, all of
them regrs on the bestseller lists.
"These are authors I helped promote when I was an editor," Cam exined, looking at her. "They
were once
unknown butter became very sessful, so you need to trust my judgment. I can sense market
trends, heh.
Follow my revision suggestions and it''ll be fine!"
"Okay."
"But..." Cam furrowed her brows with a wry smile. "I''ve never had an author like you before, one
going through
so many revisions."
Maisie''s expression changed slightly.
They were in the office, and other colleagues were around, so Cam''s words were exceptionally clear.
Maisie felt
like everyone''s gaze was stabbing her. Feeling a bit awkward, she nervously tugged at the hem of her
clothes.
"It''s okay, it''s okay!" Cam quickly reassured her. "Maybe good thingse to those who wait. After
all, your book
has been polished for so long that it will definitely turn out good!"
Maisie forced a smile. Saying she wanted to catch up on some sleep, she turned and left the office.
Instead of going home, she went to the coffee shop downstairs and ordered an iced Americano. The
bitter taste
that greeted her tongue made her mood even worse.
Maisie was about to ask the waiter for some sugar when she overheard familiar voicesing from the
adjacent
table. She recognized the literary agents of several other authors of thepany, who were casually
discussing
something.
"Has anything big happened in ourpany recently?"
"It seems not... My big shot is preparing for a new book. How about you?"
"Mine needs a break for a while to get inspired, so I''m quite free these days."
"Cam is not free, though. She''s busy from morning till night."
"Yeah! She has to deal with that author. Heard she was shoved onto her by Ms. Reyes?"
Maisie''s heart lurched, and she held her breath, listening carefully.
"Not exactly... The big financial supporter behind Maisie is Daniel. Daniel is Cam''s cousin. If she
doesn''t edit for
Maisie, who else will?"
"It''s nice to have a financial supporter!" someone said with augh. "Heard that Cam has worked for
other
publishingpanies before and created several top-tier authors. All of them have written bestsellers!
But since
she came here, dealing with Maisie alone has been enough for her. Despite so many revisions, the
manuscript still
hasn''t passed!"
"Let''s not say that." Another person lowered their voice. "After all, they''re family. In the end, Cam will
have to call
Maisie her cousin-inw!"
The group chuckled, but Maisie''s heart felt battered and pockmarked with uncertainty.
