Athena replied without thinking: [I'm not taking it on. I'm too busy.]

To publish the book, she had been editing "The Case Chronicles of Detective Lockwood Holmes recently. She had just finished editing it yesterday and submitted it. Now, she just wanted to rest.

She did not sign a contract with the website and refused to reveal her identity in the past few years because she was not 18 years old yet. If she wanted to sign a contract, a guardian would have to do it for her. However, the Kennedy family was her guardian at that time. She did not want to let them know about this.

Now that she was over 15 years old, she could sign the documents herself. So when the editor-in-chief of the website again offered to sign a contract with her, she said she would consider it

At that time, the editor-in-chief could not believe it and kept asking her, "Really?" and "If you don't keep your word, I'll jump off a building."

It was not until Athena added his iMessage that he believed it was true. He was shocked by Athena's age and talent that he was speechless for a long time. He could only send a bunch of "amazed" emojis to express his admiration.

Of course

the website gave Athena very generous conditions, including helping her with various copyrights, promoting her work as best as they could, and putting her opinions first. Their commission was also the lowest in the industry. The website only had one condition. The Case Chronicles of Detective Lockwood Holmes" could only be serialized on their website, including all follow-ups to the book. They would also have priority on Athena's next work under the same conditions. Seeing how sincere the editor-in-chief was, Athena readily agreed. Her only requirement was for them to keep her identity a secret for the time being. Other than the employee who needed to sign the contract, the website could not reveal her identity to anyone unless she gave her permission After all, Athena's main job was a scientist, and the rest were jobs on the side. If her identity were exposed, many fans, publishers, and film companies would come looking for her. It would affect her scientific research.

It was not easy for the editor-in-chief to sign someone as good as Athena so he could not put on a tough act

After receiving Athena's reply, the editor-in-chief immediately texted: [Okay. I'll pass it on.]

Soon, Anabel received a reply that "Lockwood" refused to take on the missing people case. She felt very regretful. Anabel

However, she didn't force the issue. She simply told them to inform "Lockwood" that her request was long-standing and that he could contact her at any time if he changed his mind.
