Chapter 505

"Of course, it's hard for me! You are my sister! Do you think it's easy for me to swallow the fact that my sister didn't want me to follow her?!" Mai got even more stimulated as she continued sobbing. "I thought that I had lost your trust. Maybe I wasn't good enough. So you left me alone to work in the publishing company."

"Mai, I left you because I didn't want you to get hurt. Things were hectic, and you've suffered enough because of me," Kate said as she tried to pacify Mai.

"And do you think I didn't suffer because you left?!"

…

Kate had no answer to that simply because she knew that she fucked up by leaving Mai alone.

"I'm sorry, Mai…" Kate repeated, hoping that would be enough to appease her. 

Michael finally stepped in and tried to divert the topic, "By the way, Mai has been a great asset to the publishing company. She can maintain the quality of the books published and has a good relationship with all the authors you have before."
