"No need!" Maisie tilted her head and pouted. "Don't you hate people interfering with your things?"
"That was in the past," Daniel's voice was deep. His hand was playful as he pinched her earlobe softly. The subtle pinch made her heart skip a beat.
Leaning in, he whispered in her ear with warm breath, "You'll have to participate in everything about me from now on!"
She looked at him, cheeks burning, looked down, and chuckled.
Outside, it was sunny. A breeze blew, and the soft sunlight seemed to make its way into the car.

Maisie went to the office to submit an outline to Lily, the mission she was given.
Lily remarked, "I think the script you wrote is good. The company is thinking of diversifying. Would you like to try being a screenwriter?"
She had worked for a few days and submitted the script outline. Lily smiled in satisfaction while reading it.
"Your writing is good, and the story flows," she marked it with a pencil. "There are things to note... Go slightly faster. The main plot will be diluted if it's too slow. Write the first five scenes. Show it to me, and we'll discuss it then."
Maisie looked at her in disbelief. "Do you really think I can do it?"
"Why not?" Lily poured her a cup of coffee, wearing a smile. "I didn't give you anything too big. Just write a short story. The investment is low, and there's no need for famous actors. It'll have great feedback if we upload this on social media platforms."
"Okay, got it."
"We have professional screenwriters in the company. You can learn from them," Lily whispered, "I pay them handsomely! It's our big investor Daniel's money!"
Lily raised her eyebrows. "I'm only your boss?"
"You're my friend too!" Maisie hugged her.
Lily pretended she was disgusted and struggled to get away from her but failed.
While they were playing like kids, Rachael came in and was stunned to see that.
"What's wrong?" Lily did not mind. "Anything?"
"Oh!" Rachael snapped back to her senses. "Mr. Harvey is here. He brought his work."
Maisie smiled in embarrassment. She turned around to leave, but Lily called out to her, "Wait!"
