The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven)

Zane sat down next to me and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

I focused on him and replied honestly, "A while back, I mentioned wanting to draw romance comics while I still had the time, right?"

Zane casually draped his arm over my shoulder. "Yeah?"

I felt a bit troubled. "I've finished the comic, but I don't have any extra accounts to publish it with."

After understanding my dilemma, Zane asked, "So?"

I looked at him and said, "I want to use your phone number to register accounts on various platforms to publish this comic. If you think this might harm your image, then it's okay if we don't."

"Not at all," Zane said, pulling out his phone and handing it to me. "You can do it yourself."

I stared at his phone in disbelief. "You're just giving it to me like that?"

Given Zane's position as a high-ranking CEO, I assumed his phone would be filled with confidential information.

Zane chuckled and ruffled my hair. "What else would I do? You're my girlfriend and the woman I really want to spend my life with. I have nothing to hide from you."

I looked at him in surprise. He was completely different from Steven. Throughout my marriage with Steven-from having a child to getting divorced he had never allowed me even a glimpse of his phone.
