When Maisie noticed him, she was both surprised and delighted. She hesitated for a moment before she dashed toward him like a joyful little bird.
"How did you come here? You..."
"I invited him." Lily walked over, raising an eyebrow at Daniel.
Daniel gave her a wry smile. "So, you two already know each other. It turns out... the person Maisie said was so impressed with her is you."
"I wouldn't miss out on a potential author."
Maisie looked at Daniel, then at Lily, appearing somewhat surprised.
"You two..."
"Now, let me introduce myself properly." Lily smiled gracefully. "I'm the owner of SL Publishing, a literary agent, and the ex-wife of Mr. Quimby here."
"What?" Maisie widened her eyes, feeling her heart drop.
For a moment, her mind was a whirlwind, and she didn't know what to say. She had known that Daniel had been married before, but he usually mentioned his ex-wife in passing, almost dismissively. The green-eyed monster in her often regarded this "ex-wife" as an imaginary enemy.
She had even imagined meeting this "ex-wife." She had thought that when that time came, she would definitely want to show that she had Daniel now and claim her stake with an indifferent smile.
She had even felt a bit jealous of this "ex-wife" because she had known Daniel earlier and had been involved in his life for a longer period.
However, she had not expected that she would meet this "ex-wife" under these circumstances. Maisie was momentarily stunned, like a deer caught in headlights.
