The reason was simple. Maria did not give a crap about this obnoxious guy.

“Unfortunately, Maria is currently sleeping and unable to answer the phone. This is Greta Willows, the editor-in-chief of Novel Hub. Can I ask what your name is? You can leave a message for her. I will tell Maria when she wakes up.”

Even though Greta expressed it coldly, she handled the situation well. She identified herself without any hesitation first, which she believed would convinced the guy to trust her.

On the other hand, Bill was completely silent. He only wanted to yell at Maria.

When Greta told him who she was, he was shocked and skeptical.
