Chapter 27
Mai watched as Mrs. Wood’s back vanished through the threshold of the door, then she remembered what Mr. Grant told her earlier, "Wait, Ma’am your stoma—"
Kate slammed the door shut before Mai could finish her sentence. She swallowed her saliva as she expected herself to get scolded by both Mrs. Woods and Mr. Grant.
"Oh no, why am I trapped in this weird relationship happening between them? Why can’t I just be a regular editor in this office?" Mai lamented her fate before she went out to chase after the Chief Editor.

"That rascal seriously lacks a brain!" Kate scolded. "What if we lose this author because she finds him annoying or bratty? Damn, we’re potentially losing millions of dollars!"
