I already promised Serafina this in advance. You love me so much. You'll definitely help with this small favor,

right? This is something I spent three years creating. Why should I give her half. How can this be your credit alone? Luciano raised his voice slightly, but his tone sounded sincere. This is the effort of the entire team. Serafina is the beautiful writer our company's going to focus on Rorses in her, but she's just missing a stepping stone, a chance to

famous overnight. So you're using my work as a stepping stone to hype her up? Hazel, don't be ungrateful. Which of your previous books wasn't made popular by my money? Without my investment, what you wrote would just be scrap paper.
