The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven)

Chapter 255

"She's technically not an employee of Huxham Corporation," Eric explained politely but firmly. Steven frowned, realizing this tactic wouldn't work. He decided to be direct. "I want to see her." Eric, still smiling, replied, "You can call her and ask if she's willing to meet you.

"Mr. Pelham, I'm just an employee. Please don't make things difficult for me."

Steven's gaze hardened. "She blocked me a long time ago."

"Well, then, I'm sorry, but there's nothing I can do to help," Eric answered in a professional tone.

Running out of patience, Steven tried to sidestep Eric to head straight for Annalise.

Eric immediately stepped forward to block his path.

Just then, the office door clicked open.

I stood at the doorway, looking at Steven.

"Anna," he called out.

"Don't call me that," I said coldly, feeling disgusted. "We're nothing but strangers now."

Steven's expression turned sorrowful. Instead of feeling sorry, I found it insincere and overdramatic, so I looked away.
