Chapter 14: First Time Claim Reward
.....
The book was officially launched yesterday.
Now, the waiting game began.
Regal, however, wasn't one to waste time.
Yet, starting anything new wasn't an option, he simply didn't have the funds.
At least, not until his first paycheck arrived, which was still a month away. Of course, whether the book would be a hit or not was a question hanging heavily in the air.
It was not about him.
There were plenty of others even within Evarleaf Press, including some senior editors, who shared the uncertainty.
To be fair, that uncertainty wasn't unjustified.
After all, this was his first step into the publishing world, and skepticism was natural, expected, even.
From what Regal had observed, Maggie, the woman who worked closely with Gwendolyn, seemed particularly skeptical.
She hadn't minced words about her reservations, and while her skepticism mildly annoyed Regal, he grudgingly appreciated that she didn't impose her doubts on others.
