The Unveiled Rose novel Chapter 117

I opened WhatsApp after hearing that.

With his voice still hushed, Eric told me, "Don't ever let Mr. Huxham see this."

"Don't worry," I told him without even giving it a second thought. "He won't check my phone."

Eric had achieved his goal. With my reassurance that Zane wouldn't find out about the gossip group chat, he finally heaved a sigh of relief and left the office to carry on with his work.

I, too, continued my draft.

Just then, a notification from my phone jerked me back from my work. I picked up my phone from the table to see that it was a message from Yvonne.

Her message read, "Who are you?"

Only then did I realize that I hadn't properly introduced myself.

So, I replied, "I'm the author of 'Days with My Daughter.'"

She replied soon enough, "I have a lot on my plate these days. I need a few days before I have the time to go through your work. You'll have to wait for a bit."

I had my full attention on my draft of the comic these days, so I didn't have the time to think about anything else anyway.

I responded to her message with, "No worries. There's no need to rush."

…

Jessica was enjoying herself scrolling on her phone in the living room when Yvonne called her. Surprised, she asked, "Why did you suddenly call me?"

Yvonne stated plainly, as if it was obvious enough, "I'm now a comic editor at Huxham Corporation. Guess which visual artist's work I'm in charge of?"

As Jessica's good friend, Yvonne knew everything that happened to Jessica like the back of her hand. Knowing that Annalise was Steven's ex, she couldn't help but feel like gossiping with Jessica about it.

"Annalise?" Jessica shot up from the couch.

"You heard me right! It's her!" Yvonne confirmed. "I read her work before. It was more of the heart-warming type. It won't be easy to become popular with that genre, but the company provides her with lots of resources."

Steven didn't want anyone else to find out that Annalise slept with Gibson before, but Jessica wanted to make a fuss so that the whole world would know about it. Annalise's life would be ruined by then.

Even though Steven loved Annalise with his entire being, he would not choose her over Jessica by then. When that happened, Jessica could officially and legitimately become Steven's wife.

Yvonne never thought Jessica would think of that. "That goes without saying!"

"What would become of me by then?" Jessica asked gleefully.

"You'll become a good mother in Zachary's eyes," said Yvonne. "His savior. And also a good wife in Steven's eyes."

Just thinking of it made Jessica beam. "It's decided, then!"

"Once you start working on it, I'll tell my superiors that Annalise's work isn't well-received and advertised." Yvonne already had it all thought out. "I'll recommend your work to them and say that it's for the sake of the company."

She and Jessica started giggling right after that.

A company founded just for Annalise, huh? In the end, everything would have to go according to their plans anyway!
