my sister is a supermodel

Kate folded her arms and blinked at him.
Roca didn't want her to see anything, rolled the wheelchair to the desk, and said while arranging the manuscript, "Kate, you can think about it carefully, this novel is my test of the water, the writing is very average, even if The results should not be very good after publication, maybe even a copy will not be sold, if the results are too poor, it will damage your public image, this matter has a great risk..."
"I promise!"
"Kate, you should seriously think about it for a few days, maybe talk to Nina about it"
"No, I can decide on this matter"
Kate tossed her hair and left the room.
Roca shrugged his shoulders, feeling a little ashamed that he used conspiracy and tricks to deal with Kate, hey~, his character is not good.
"Rocca, do you need me to help you to bed?"
Suddenly Kate opened the door again.
"This...I think I can do it"
Rocca put down the book and rolled the wheelchair to the bedside. He supported the edge of the bed and climbed onto the bed with the least effort. After recuperating for more than half a month, the lumbar injury was no longer painful, but Kate thought he was still very fragile. Just had to be careful.
"Haha~, Roca, your posture in bed is so ugly, you look like a puppy."
Roca's arm went limp and he almost didn't fall. He lay on the bed and gave her an annoyed look, "Kate, you can leave now."
Kate covered her lips and smiled softly, "What about the clothes, do you need me to take them off for you?"
"No need, I can do it"
"Haha, are you shy, don't forget that I've been changing your clothes for you all this time"
Kate smiled softly.
Rocca twitched the corner of his mouth, it was indeed so.
Although there were nurses in the hospital, she would do it herself every time she came, serving him to wash, eat, change clothes, and even clean the potty.
Thinking of this, Roca couldn't help being moved, "Kate, you are tired today too, go to rest earlier, I can take care of myself"
"Alright then, good night!"
Kate waved her hand and closed the door.
Kate left, and Rocca got off the ground again. He moved slowly with the help of the wheelchair, hoping to get better as soon as possible.
030. Special gift
Half a month later, in the apartment gym, Roca was doing rehabilitation training on the trainer.
He has been injured for more than a month, and he has gained ten catties. Although he is tall and looks nothing, his current physique is easier to gain weight. Fitness is a must. He doesn't want to play water guns with Leonardo in the future.
Since his lumbar spine is still recovering, he can't exercise too much every day and can only do some simple exercises.
After practicing for an hour, sweat drenched his sweatshirt, and his strong muscles swelled a bit. He stood up slowly with the help of the leg machine.
After a few days of sneaky practice, he can basically walk around flexibly, and there will be no pain in the waist. If Joel sees it, he will definitely marvel at his recovery ability.
"Roka, why are you standing up?"
Suddenly someone shouted at the door.
Rocca was taken aback, dissatisfied and said, "Kate, you scared me"
Kate laughed, stepped on a pair of high riding boots and walked into the gym, wearing tight jeans and a pink loose knit sweater, with a wild, handsome, hot, and girly look on her body.
"Okay, I'm sorry, but Joel said that your lumbar spine is still not healed, and you need to rest for at least a month"
Kate said, holding his shoulder.
Roca shook his head and said with a smile, "Some people say that everything the doctor says is correct, but you can't listen to everything."
"Well~, it seems quite reasonable, who said that?"
"A great oriental writer said it!"
Roca smiled, walked out of the gym with a cane, and saw a stack of letters on the table, "What is this?"
"Responses from Publishing Agencies"
Kate spread her hands, "The content is the same, unfortunately, your work does not meet the acceptance requirements of our company, and I look forward to your submission again"
"Did you refuse again?"
Rocca was a little helpless. After the discussion last time, Nina took the manuscript of "Twilight" to negotiate with major publishing companies, including Random House, Harper Publishing House, Hachette Books, etc. These are the largest publishers in the United States. publishing company.
Nina hopes that "Twilight" will do better and make Kate's supermodel writer's name more famous.
the reality is cruel.
The cultural circle and the fashion circle in the United States are very different. People in the cultural circle don't think highly of models in the fashion circle, let alone novels written by supermodels.
When the editor-in-chief of Random House received Nina, he heard that it was a novel written by supermodel Kate, and laughed like a pig.
The editor-in-chief of Harper Publishing only read two, and picked a lot of mistakes, saying that the level is not enough.
Hachette Publishing House is willing to publish as an agent, but the conditions are very harsh. They only promise to give 5% royalties, and Kate is required to cooperate with them in publicizing and publishing.
Nina refused without hesitation. The other party only wanted to make money from Kate's fame and didn't care about novels.
The situation of several other publishing houses is similar, and they directly or indirectly denied the novel "Twilight".
Most of the reasons for the refusal were that there are too many vampire novels on the market, this one is not very good, and even if it is published, there will not be much profit, so I refused to cooperate.
In desperation, Nina and Kate had to lower their standards and submit manuscripts to more than a dozen small and medium publishing houses.
A week passed, and I received replies one after another, all of which were rejections.
Roca was also a little helpless when he saw these letters. He heard that the original author was repeatedly rejected when he submitted the manuscript. Unexpectedly, Kate would receive the same treatment.
Also...he also had some doubts whether there was a problem with his memory, the copied version was too different from the original, or there was a problem with too many changes?
Seeing his frustrated face, Kate hugged his shoulders and comforted him, "Rocca, don't be discouraged. It's not that your novel is not well written, but that those people have no vision, and they will definitely regret it in the future."
"Well, I hope that day will come sooner!"
Roca smiled lightly, and didn't care too much. The novel was not published, but there was no way to take advantage of it and make a lot of money. Well, by the way, the original book will appear in the future, should the original author be sued for plagiarism?
