The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven)

Chapter 117

With his voice still hushed, Eric told me, "Don't ever let Mr. Huxham see this."

"Don't worry," I told him without even giving it a second thought. "He won't check my phone."

Eric had achieved his goal. With my reassurance that Zane wouldn't find out about the gossip group chat, he finally heaved a sigh of relief and left the office to carry on with his work. I, too, continued my draft.

Only then did I realize that I hadn't properly introduced myself.

So, I replied, "I'm the author of 'Days with My Daughter.""

She replied soon enough, "I have a lot on my plate these days. I need a few days before I have the time to go through your work. You'll have to wait for a bit."

I had my full attention on my draft of the comic these days, so I didn't have the time to think about anything else anyway.

I responded to her message with, "No worries. There's no need to rush."
