Daniel's heart skipped a beat as he gently kissed her on the cheeks.
"Never," he said, his voice low and resolute.
Maisie smiled happily.
The car behind them honked as the traffic light turned green. They exchanged smiles, and Daniel quickly drove toward their destination.
Their destination was a stylish private club nestled in the mountains, surrounded by lush trees, making the porcelain-white building appear like a pearl in the forest.
Maisie's curiosity brimmed as she looked at him. "Why did you bring me here?"
"Didn't I say we're meeting some people?" Daniel asked.
"Are they your business associates? I..." Maisie hesitated, but Daniel didn't wait for her refusal. He took her hand and led her into the VIP room.
The people inside had been waiting for a while. Once they saw Daniel, they all stood up.
Maisie examined them. There was a middle-aged man who looked gentlemanly and a seemingly capable career woman. She was surprised because these people seemed familiar like those often seen on in-depth interview programs on television.
They all treated Daniel with great respect.
"You're probably not strangers to these people," Daniel said, holding her hand. "They're all renowned journalists in Cumulus City and frequently appear on national television."
"Yes, yes!" The journalists chimed in enthusiastically. "Actually, from our conversation earlier, we could tell that you have great potential. You'll surely become an outstanding figure in this field!"
Maisie chuckled modestly. She knew these were flattering words, and they were all saying this out of respect for Daniel.
At that moment, she felt an unusual gaze fixed on her. She turned to look, and the female journalist, who was not far away, met her gaze. The journalist averted her eyes, pretending to be nonchalant.
Maisie furrowed her brow. After a while, she looked back at the female journalist subconsciously and realized she was still staring at her.
The woman seemed to be in her mid-30s, with an alluring appearance and fashionable attire, but her gaze was unfriendly. She exuded an air of arrogance, looking down on others as if she were superior.
It made Maisie uncomfortable.
