The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven)

Chapter 219

Zane sat beside me.

I casually said, "I think there are two things we need to clarify right now."

Zane raised an eyebrow. "What are they?"

I slowly explained, "The first thing is that Willow's already gotten used to talking to the dolls when she wants to talk to her grandparents. I think it's time we get her walkie-talkies. And the second thing. When will the other doll be ready?" Zane wasn't sure, either. He stood up and said, "I'll call Eric."

Zane took the elevator up to the fourth floor. His eyes scanned the electronics before he dialed Eric's number.

Eric answered, "Yes, Mr. Huxham?"

Zane got straight to the point. "Is the doll ready?"

"If everything goes as planned, it should be delivered to the company on Monday," Eric calmly reported.

Since Zane had gotten an answer, he was about to hang up, but Eric spoke again, "We've also contacted Suzy as you instructed."
