Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) novel Chapter 3453

Suddenly, a chill ran down her spine. She whipped around to see Carson leaning lazily against the doorframe. His posture was relaxed, but his gaze was sharp and predatory, locked dead onto her.

Marina's heart skipped a beat. For some inexplicable reason, she felt a flash of guilt. She quickly spoke into the phone, "I've got to go. Talk later."

"Alright," Nocturne chuckled. "I'll send you the promo materials. Check them out, give me your feedback, and I'll pass it on to the editor."

"Will do. Bye." She hurriedly hung up.

"Why so panicked?" Carson's lips curled into a smirk that didn't quite reach his eyes.

Marina pocketed her phone and shot him a glare. "Who's panicked?"

"Who was on the phone?"

"None of your business." She shoved him toward the door. "I'm going to sleep. Get out."

"Kicking me out right after I feed you? You ungrateful little thing," Carson scoffed.

His voice dropped low, lacing the word 'feed' with a thick, suggestive heat. Marina's cheeks flushed. She gave him a hard shove out into the hall, slammed the door shut, and locked it.

Carson strolled back out to the balcony. His gaze swept over the small desk Marina used for work. Walking over, he noticed a storyboard sketchbook lying open. He flipped a page and realized for the first time that she drew manga.

The platform was pushing their manga hard, and the promotional artwork was phenomenal. Against the backdrop of a ruined cityscape, horrifying mutated creatures launched a brutal assault from all sides. The male and female leads, geared up in badass tactical armor, were caught mid-sprint. It was dynamic, intense, and instantly got the blood pumping.

Marina was thrilled. She immediately texted Nocturne: [I have zero notes. It looks incredibly epic!]

Nocturne replied a moment later: [If you're happy with it, then we're good to go. I'll let the editor know.]

Marina set her phone down. She was a bundle of nerves and excitement, eagerly waiting for their project to drop.
