"Stop holding onto such unrealistic fantasies. Liam's a better fit for you. Go back and focus on your work. Don't embarrass me," said Kevin. Blake was someone who had worked under him, after all.

Blake bit her lip, hesitating to speak. "I'll ask you one last time. Do you really have nothing to say to me? I understand Liam's feelings for me, but... I'm still into you!"

Outside the door, Sean looked puzzled and said, "Well, Kevin, is this a rare occasion? A young lady finally confessed to you?"

After mustering up all the courage, Blake finally spilled the words. However, she heard the author from StartReading Literary, who could not be found, calling Kevin's name instead of using a respectful address.

"Get out."

Sean grinned and said, "Ms. Harper, I'll head out for now. Once you're done chatting with Kevin, shoot me a message. I'll come right over."

Blake was always a straight shooter. If she wanted something, she went for it, and if she was not interested, she did not even bother.
