“Yes! Of course! I have two copies prepared, and the company had already signed and stamped it. The contract will become effective immediately after you sign it."

The truth was Maria liked the Novel Hub very much, especially because it was very efficient. The novel website didn't let her down all these years.

After a moment, the two walked out of the elevator and headed in the chief editor's office.

Greta, acting like Maria's secretary, Led the way and opened the door for her.

As soon as Maria sat down on the comfortable sofa, Greta brought the contracts and made some coffee.

“I... Ahem."

Maria wanted to say something but was a little embarrassed.

After all, she was the one who took the initiative to contact Greta, not the other way around.

“I can start doing my job right away. But may I request that you pay me partially in advance? If that's okay..." Maria said in a timid voice

“Pay in advance? And partially?" Greta asked in surprise, as if she was totally confused.

Maria thought that her request put Greta in a dilemma. She wondered if Greta thought that she didn't have much Living expenses. But in fact, 200 dollars was enough for Maria to get by in two weeks.

If her request would really cause a problem, then Greta might not be able to break the rules for her.

But before Maria could say something again, Greta said awkwardly, "Mia, you don't have to worry... We have prepared the full payment. And you will get it even before you start your work."

Maria blinked her eyes a few times before Greta's statements sank in. It turned out that she was worried for nothing.

It took Maria a few seconds before she regained her senses. "I see. Thank you then.”

After finally signing the contract, a large sum of money was instantly transferred to Maria's account.

Before she transferred the money to another channel, she took 10 thousand dollars for herself.

Of course, this amount looked like a mere change to the total amount she got. Nonetheless, if it was before, ten thousand dollars were already enough for her entire year’s living expenses, and she would even have some left.

“Anyway, I just want to inform you that I will put aside other works and finish the adaptation of some parts of the movie script. It means that updating the Female Military Counsellor will have to be temporarily stopped again," Maria said in a flat tone.

Hearing her words, Greta almost jumped out of her seat.
