The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven)

Chapter 202

Zane crossed his long legs gracefully and leaned back in his chair. As he stared up at the ceiling, he deeply pondered about ways to improve his relationship with Annalise.

He had no experience in dating. Should he seek advice from someone more seasoned?

But who could he possibly ask?

Yvonne stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, scrolling through Annalise's social media accounts one by one.

Just a few days ago, Annalise's follower growth had been normal. Even the likes and comments were nothing extraordinary. So, why had there been such a dramatic spike yesterday? Had the company started promoting Annalise already? Yvonne was confused. She was Annalise's editor. If promotions for Annalise's work had begun, why hadn't anyone come to ask for her input?

She wanted to find Zane and ask what was really going on. But the memory of his disdainful expression in the conference room made her stop in her tracks.

After much deliberation, Yvonne decided to approach Eric instead. She knocked on the door to his office.
