The Unveiled Rose
Chapter 146

As soon as Eric finished speaking, one of the girls walked up to the front and began explaining her understanding of my work and the direction for its promotion. Once she finished, she returned to her seat. Then, the next girl took the light and shared her thoughts.

About two hours later, the last girl finished her report.

Eric watched me with a smile. "What do you think?"

I could honestly say I was clueless about promotion. However, after hearing their presentations, I realized that each person made valid points.

I nodded in agreement. "It's great."

Eric asked, "Is there anything that needs to be changed?"

I quickly shook my head. "No!"

Eric turned serious and looked at the girls. "Since Ms. Jamison refuses to point out any problems, I'll play the bad guy..."

Then, he calmly pointed out each employee's issues and gave them directions for revisions.

Finally, he stood up. "I hope you can make the changes before work tomorrow and submit them to me for review."

"Okay."

After the meeting ended, the girls left.

I looked Eric over. In the past, I only thought he was laid-back and somewhat gossipy. But after today, I realized his capabilities were impressive as well.

Eric seemed to sense what I was thinking and smiled as he explained, "The position of Mr. Huxham's secretary is highly competitive. If you don't have the necessary skills, you'd never be able to secure the position."

...

Back in the office, I had just sat down at my desk.

Zane walked over and asked, "What do you think of the promotion team this time?"

I carefully chose my words. "They're all very professional, but..."

Zane asked in surprise, "Is there something you're not happy with?"

I shook my head. "I'm just worried that the value created by my work won't be enough to support such a large team."

Zane chuckled. "Anna, trust me. I wouldn't make a losing deal."

I was a bit surprised but still nodded. "Alright. I trust you!"

Zane sat down. "Mm."

Seeing that he had no other topics to discuss, I opened my computer and focused on drawing.

...

Zane took out his phone and opened the online platforms where Annalise had published her comics.

Her comics didn't have a fast-paced plot, but they were heartwarming.

Everyone enjoyed reading them. Many comments asked what would happen next. Even the platform with the fewest fans had over a thousand followers.

He turned off the screen and looked at Annalise across from him.

She wasn't wearing any makeup. Yet he felt that she was more beautiful than any of the women he'd met, who wore elaborate makeup.

...

Jessica had just returned home. She was furious, slamming everything on the table to the floor.

Damn Zane! How could he use such tactics against her?

Fine! When the opportunity came, she would make sure to ruin his reputation!

Jessica dialed Yvonne's number, her face expressionless. "I've sent the comic to your email. Did you see it?"

Yvonne was reading it as she said, "The quality is good, but you need to draw faster..."

"I will!" Jessica gritted her teeth and said, "I'm telling you in advance. Not only do I want to portray Annalise as an evil woman who abandoned her husband and child, but I also want to paint Zane as a homewrecker!"
