The meeting ended quickly, and everyone else left, leaving only two journalists.
One of them was Leroy Kerk, who had a close relationship with Daniel, and the other was the woman who had been eyeing Maisie earlier.
"You might not have remembered with so many people around earlier," Daniel reassured Maisie with a smile. "This is Leroy, a significant figure in this field, and we're old friends."
"And this…" Daniel paused. "She is Amanda Winslade, the Editor-in-Chief of Cumulus Morning Post."
Maisie politely nodded her head, but Amanda's attitude remained icy. Maisie even sensed a hint of anger in Amanda's eyes.
"Alright, it's getting late," Leroy said with a smile. "I still have work to do, so I won't disturb you and Ms. Squire. Amanda, are you leaving? I can give you a ride."
"Sure," Amanda replied with a light laugh. "Mr. Quimby, we'll be taking our leave."
She only greeted Daniel and completely ignored Maisie as if she were invisible.
Maisie found this quite puzzling. Her first thought was whether she had made an enemy back when she was in Cumulus City.

Once they were outside, Leroy frowned as he looked at Amanda. "I've got to say, you were acting a bit strange just now."
Amanda glanced at him and smirked. "Strange? It seems I'm not the only one, am I?"
