NovelStartChapter 1200 CloudySkies
In reality, when she was younger, Mandy had secretly harbored a crush on a man of a soft and artistic temperament. He was a
creator of passionateics that stirred deep emotions, and he had always tenderly responded to all her messages.
Amidst the turmoil caused by Maeve's presence when she was held captive, theic artist beca source of happiness and
optimism for Mandy. She thought that someone who possessed a tender heart such as him would genuinely value andprehend
her.
Throughout the years, she kept theics he had drawn saved within her phone. Several times, when executives quivered in fear,
mistaking her concentration for anger, she was actually immersed in the heartfeltics on her device.
As Colin hopped down from finishing his task of decorating the wall, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of the content on Mandy's
phone. His exclamation was spontaneous: "Hmm? Why do you have theics I've drawn?"
Mandy was struck dumb with astonishment. She stared at Colin with her dark, grape-like eyes and mumbled, "You're...
CloudySkies?"

A smile tugged on the corner of Colin's lips as he nodded affirmatively. "That's right. CloudySkies is my pen name."
He teased playfully, "I didn't know you'd be into passionateics as well. But this one's kind of old; it's hard forto search for
it myself. Where did you stumble upon it?"
Mandy continued to gaze at him, disbelief evident in her expression. Could it truly be that Colin was the person behind her beloved
It wouldn't be an overstatement to say that she felt like a thunderstorm had struck her.
Colin nodded pensively as he continued, "These were sof my early attempts inics. | felt many aspects of it were
undeveloped. Eventually, | decided my earlier drawings didn't meet my standards."
He paused, reflecting, "You see,ics like the one you're reading had very few readers back then."
"The editor thought my pen nwas too soft, not bold enough for sales," Colin explained, his tone tinged with a hint of
frustration. "So, | rebranded myself and left CloudySkies behind."
Mandy gripped her phone tightly, the pieces falling into place. She now understood why CloudySkies had been inactive, with only
olderics in their archives. She had assumed he had abandonedics altogether, unaware it was due to an editor's
misguided belief about his pen name.
What a foolish editor! Mandy thought indignantly. How could a nlike "CloudySkies" not be appealing?
Inhaling a significant breath, she lifted her gaze to meet Colin's, her eyes locking with his as she asked, "So, what's the pen name
you're using now?"
A soft chuckle escaped his lips. "The pen nI'm using currently was suggested by my editor after asking for various psychic
advice."
"It's Thunder Lord's Quill," he added with a slight pause.
Mandy was rendered momentarily speechless.
Thunder Lord's Quill?

"After you changed your pen name... did your sales improve?" she asked, her curiosity piqued.
Colin shrugged nonchalantly. "Not really," he confessed with candor.
He shook his head, a self-deprecating smile playing on his lips. "Maybe it's because my skills were never that great."
Mandy couldn't help but crinkle her nose at Colin's self-mockery.
It has nothing to do with your skills! she silently exclaimed. You're my idol! In my eyes, no one createsics as wonderfully as
you!
As for why it didn't sell well, maybe it had something to do with your new pen name?
What reader wants to tell others that their favoriteic artist's nis called "Thunder Lord's Quill"?
Colin continued with a forced smile, "I think the reason | haven't gained more followers after all these years is simply because | lack
the talent."
He chuckled self-deprecatingly. "But what's the use of dwelling on the past? My family has since shovedinto the business
world, after all."
