After facing numerous rejections, Lily finally entered Daniel's office today to meet him.

He had just concluded a meeting, checked the time, and calculated how much time he could spare for her. Deliberately slowing down, he figured a brief meeting would be ideal. If he could swiftly dismiss this matter, perhaps they wouldn't need to converse again.

The thought of Maisie discovering his secret meeting with his ex-wife made him uneasy. He wouldn't be able to explain himself if she found out.

Unexpectedly, his assistant rushed over and whispered, "Mr. Quimby, Ms. Reyes arrived early and has been wandering around the office. If you don't show up soon, the entire company might find out she's here!"

Daniel's expression changed. Suppressing his anger, he hurried toward his office.

Although years had passed, neither of them had changed much. The only noticeable difference was the slight chill in the eyes of a leader who had gained experience over the years.

After some self-promotion from both sides, Daniel decided to cut to the chase. "I'm sorry, Lily. I'm not too interested in your proposal. I have to decline this collaboration."
