The Unveiled Rose novel Chapter 243

Zane watched Annalise. The extra income was just 31 thousand dollars, yet, it had made her so happy. But to him, it still felt far from enough.

After thinking it over, he left his office to find Eric.

Eric looked up, raising an eyebrow in surprise. "Mr. Huxham?"

Zane walked over to the floor-to-ceiling windows. "I've been considering our plans for developing her comic series. I realize we're not doing nearly enough."

Eric could tell that Zane had more ideas. "Oh?"

Zane laid out his thoughts calmly, saying, "We could translate her comic into other languages and launch it worldwide. With a larger reader base, merchandise sales would soar."

Eric quickly grabbed his notebook to jot it down.

Zane continued, "We also need to speed up domestic licensing. Ideally, we should bring in a team to adapt the comic into an animated series. That way, more kids can enjoy it.

"At the same time, we should work with publishers to print the comic and distribute it in major bookstores. Once the hype builds, merchandise sales will skyrocket."

He paused before adding, "We need to ensure there's a solid inventory of merchandise."

"Got it!" Eric had been planning to take things slow but hadn't considered getting so far ahead in their preparations. He could now see the vast difference in their perspectives. Going forward, he resolved to think further ahead and be prepared for challenges in advance.

After taking notes, Eric glanced up. "Mr. Huxham, Annalise won't feel the impact of everything you're doing. She'll only think of you as an incredibly supportive boss. I'm not exactly an expert on romance, but I don't think she'll understand your intentions."

This was Zane's dilemma, and he knew it well. "You're right, which is why I need to tread carefully. If I come on too strong, she might grow distant, and I'd lose my chance altogether."

Penelope laughed and waved at her. "You don't need to wait for me. My mom will be here to pick me up soon!"

No sooner had she finished speaking when Suzy jogged up to the school gate.

Penelope ran into Suzy's arms. "Mommy, I missed you so much!"

Suzy, the corporate powerhouse at work, melted under Penelope's affection. She gently ran her fingers through Penelope's hair. "Good girl."

Willow stood rooted in place, watching them intently.

I couldn't help but smile. "Since you want to play with her so much, why not invite them over to our house?"
