Lily beamed as she said, "I'm buying, so we can go anywhere you want!"

After work, they arrived at a restaurant, and Lily, always generous in entertaining, chose a high-end one. She even

extended the invitation to her colleagues, including famous authors and their agents. Among them was Camila.

They chatted happily in the private room. The famous authors expressed confidence in Maisie, eagerly anticipating

her new book to create history for the company.

She had almost not noticed Camila's presence throughout the night—she was quiet, staying in a corner during the

drinking and chatting.

"You're too nice," Camila said, walking over with a smile. "Just call me Camila. We've been working for so long. Let's

skip the courtesy, am I right?"

"Okay."

"Are you alright?" Camila observed her flushed cheeks. "Did you have too much to drink?"

"I'm okay."

"Should I get Daniel to pick you up later?" Camila asked. "Why don't I call him? I'm worried that you're drinking too

much out here!"
