The Unveiled Rose
Chapter 128

I remained silent.

Zane calmly said, "We should go."

I was in a bad mood when we arrived at the company. As such, I went to my cubicle, opened my computer, and buried myself in my drawings.

I felt much better after finishing the last sketch. I then proceeded to color the sketches.

...

Sitting in the meeting room, Zane opened several platforms to check Annalise's data. He gathered that Annalise was not only dedicated but also very serious about her drawings.

Although the story was lighthearted and slice-of-life, readers started following it even without promotion since there was a new mini-story each day. Some even left comments, saying they looked forward to her updates. Zane lightly tapped the table with his finger. Then, he took out his phone and messaged Eric. "We can have someone start planning promotional strategies for Annalise's comic."

"Mr. Huxham." Yvonne knocked on the door before directly opening it without waiting for Zane's response.

She walked straight to Zane's side. "Annalise's comic has no appeal."

Zane didn't say anything in response, merely looking at her coldly. He was always like this in the company-reserved and aloof, exuding authority effortlessly.

"It won't thrive even if you throw resources at it," Yvonne said nervously.

Then, she mustered the courage to continue. After all, she needed to secure resources for Jessica. "And I just signed a comic with great potential. If promoted well, it will undoubtedly make money for the company." Yvonne let out a breath of relief after speaking.

Even if the purpose of Zane's founding of the comic company was for Annalise, a businessman would always choose to profit.

Zane would definitely want to make money-that was what Yvonne believed.

She thought that as long as she could ensure that the comic she endorsed would bring great profits to the company, Zane would surely-unconditionally-hand over all of the company's resources to her control. "Who allowed you to come to me?" Zane's voice was emotionless, yet it exuded an inexplicable pressure. "Do I look free to you?"

Yvonne froze.

Zane looked at Eric, who had just entered. "Didn't you tell the new employees that they shouldn't disturb me during work hours?"

Cold sweat began to drip from Eric's body as he looked at Yvonne, mouthing a reminder for her to leave right away.

Yvonne's mind went blank for a moment. Then, she hurriedly left.

"Mr. Huxham, I did tell them," Eric explained unprompted. "I told them that if there's really something they can't handle, they should come to me. Who knew that..."

Zane shot him a glance.

Eric immediately straightened up. "I assure you that this won't happen again."

Zane remarked, "It seems this new editor doesn't like Annalise's work."

The comic publishing company was created specifically for Annalise, after all.

He added, "Moreover, she wants to promote someone else's comic."

Eric didn't know what to say about Yvonne. Zane had clearly stated that the focus would be on Annalise's work, yet Yvonne openly went against his wishes. She was practically digging her own grave!

He promised, "I will reprimand her. As for Annalise's work, you can entrust it to me and my assistant. We guarantee we'll promote it wholeheartedly."

He just happened to need an opportunity to get closer to Annalise anyway.

Zane gave him a sideways glance, saying, "Alright."
