MAX'S POINT OF VIEW

I walked nervously into the publisher's office, my heart racing with anticipation. I had never expected my first book to be such a success, but here I was, being invited to meet with my publisher to discuss a potential second book.

The office was spacious and filled with bookshelves, showcasing the company's most successful publications. I could feel the weight of the moment, as I sat down on the chair in front of the publisher's desk. I tried to stay calm, but my excitement was palpable.
