Chapter 1042
When the car arrived, Olívia opened the car door for Liam. She turned and asked, “What’s wrong?”
“I’m waiting for her,” Liam answered. His eyes fixed in Blake’s direction.
Not far away, Blake held four cups of lattes while running over. She was panting slightly, and her cheeks were flushed. She said cheerfully, “Lattes on me.”
Olivia declined, “I’m sorry, Ms. Dion. Liam and I don’t drink lattes.”
Liam surprised both by accepting the latte and said, “It’s fine. I can drink it.”
Then, Liam opened the door to the backseat and gestured, “Hop on.”
Blake replied, “Thank you.”
Liam usually sat with Olivia, who acted more like his personal assistant than an editor. Their website was
once a little-known literary platform, but after Liam’s debut as Xander Gale, it outperformed many.
renowned sites in earnings. With expansion and its own sales channels, the site is not a leader in
literature.
Meeting Liam was a stroke of luck for Olivia. Back then, her mother was undergoing cancer surgery.
Olivia, a lowly newspaper editor, found Liam writing in the hospital. She was overseeing a fantasy novel
section, and Liam happened to be writing that genre, making her his first reader and close ally.
Then, Olivia received a bonus from Liam’s published work and it was a great success. She took that
bonus to launch her own literary website, bringing Liam along. Under her business acumen and Liam’s literary talent, the website flourished, growing from just the two of them to a larger operation. Together,
they had made significant progress.
Olivia sat shotgun and asked, “Since when did you like drinking lattes? Did you forget what the doctor
said?” This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
Blake interjected, “Shoot, I almost forgot about it. You’re sick and need rest. You also can’t have anything
with sugar. You should give it back to me.”
Liam assured Blake, “It’s fine. I can drink it once in a while. Don’t worry.”
Blake stretched her hand out before retracting it. She said, “Okay. The lattes aren’t expensive. It’s just a few dollars. Stop drinking it if it causes any discomfort to you.”
Liam obliged, “Alright.”
As the car moved, Olivia and Liam discussed issues regarding the book. Blake could not join in, so she
sat quietly and finished a latte. She planned to drink the rest after she finished eating.
Blake burped in satisfaction before leaning into her seat. The voices started to fade away as she went to
sleep.
Olivia added, “We need to push the latest update sooner. You’ve only released a new chapter yesterday.”
Liam took out a blanket and covered Blake. He agreed calmly, “Mhm.”
“Don’t disturb her. She’s resting, “Liam told Olivia.
The journey, typically a half-hour drive, stretched into two hours due to rush hour traffic. Blake woke up the moment they reached The Deli.
The three of them walked into The Deli, and the manager welcomed them. Blake looked around curiously and commented, “How odd. There’s no one here at this hour.”
