The Unveiled Rose novel Chapter 102

I finished Zane's sentence, saying, "Focus on what female players actually want."

Zane studied me intently, and I met his gaze. "What? Am I wrong?"

"No. You're exactly right." He chuckled softly before reaching out to stroke my hair.

I looked at him, surprised.

He continued, "Actually, the game project needs a few more artists. Would you be interested in helping?"

I had been pretty swamped lately, and Zane knew this. He quickly added, "It's just to draw some small items like gifts and flowers."

It would not be too challenging to draw those, so I agreed, "Sure."

His cool voice held an unusual hint of indulgence. "I'll give you a bonus when you're done."

I said with a smile, "Thanks."

Then, I started coloring Chapter 3 of my comic. After all, my comic was my priority aside from looking after Willow.

When I needed a break from the comic, I started sketching roses. The lush bouquet turned out beautifully and vividly. Just looking at it lifted my mood and motivated me to finish the rest.

So, I decided to continue sketching everything else. I managed to send all the item illustrations to Zane before the workday ended.

He took a quick look, then turned to me.

I stretched and asked with a smile, "Is there anything that needs changing?"

He shook his head. "No. They're perfect."

"Great!" I sighed in relief.

Zane started to ask about the bonus amount but stopped himself. Instead, he stood up. "Let's pick up Willow."

"Okay."

The first-years got out earliest, so I waited patiently outside rather than pushing through the crowd.

Zane stood behind me. I gave him a curious look. When I first came to the Huxham residence, I always picked up Willow alone. I was not sure when it started, but Zane began coming along, too.

He asked casually, "What is it?"

I shook my head. "Nothing."

"Annalise."

As I waited for Willow, I suddenly heard someone call my name.

I turned to look.

Steven stood nearby with his eyes fixed on me.
