The Unveiled Rose

Eric almost couldn't hold back his laughter. "First of all, though the promotional efforts for your comic may not be on the same level as Annalise's, they're not bad either. It should meet your needs."

He looked at Yvonne, who was eager to explain, and gestured for her to calm down. "Secondly, if the comic you're handling is as good as you say and can bring the company huge profits, we will definitely increase its promotion efforts. You can rest assured about that." Yvonne was still unwilling to give up.NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

Eric continued, "Let me put it this way. Annalise's comic wasn't initially given much attention by the company either. She posted a small plot daily, gradually building her readership.

"Yvonne, think about it. Even the woman Mr. Huxham likes got this kind of treatment. And you want your author to get a better promotion than her? Do you really think that's possible?"

Eric was unmoved by Yvonne's increasingly unpleasant expression. "Furthermore, you need to understand that good quality work isn't determined by pitching... The readers' choice determines it.

"I'll believe you after you prove that her work can perform thousands of times better than Annalise's with no promotion.

"And maybe then, I'll say a few good words for you in front of Mr. Huxham. Let's see if Mr. Huxham is willing to set up a new department for the work you have in hand."

"I understand." Yvonne lowered her head. "I will follow your instructions."

...

Yvonne returned to her office, closed the door, and called Jessica. "I wanted to help you secure resources on the same scale as Annalise's.

"But they're not willing to give it to us, and they came up with a bunch of pretentious excuses."

She said, somewhat frustrated, "I've done my best. But don't worry, I'll use all the resources I can get in the company for you."

"Thank you," Jessica replied weakly, leaning against the couch.

Recently, she had been drawing every day and bending over backward to please Steven. She was exhausted.

Jessica assured, "But don't worry, I will try my best to get close to Zane. By the way, I plan to visit your company to see him.

"When I get there, can you let me in with your door card?"

Yvonne hesitated before responding, "The security is very strict now. Unless you're an employee of the company, no one can get in. If you don't believe me, you can come and try."

Yvonne was Jessica's best friend, so she unconditionally trusted what Yvonne said.

"Then you must know when he leaves the company, right?"

Yvonne didn't usually pay attention to Zane's schedule, but she was willing to make time to keep an eye on him for Jessica. "Yeah."

"Make sure to call me when it happens, and I'll intercept him," Jessica said.

He had to be hers since she had set her sights on Zane!

Yvonne said, "No problem."

She then added disdainfully, "Once you've taken care of Zane, he'll probably give you the comic company he founded. By then, everyone in the company will be serving you. They'll all promote your work!" Yvonne clicked her tongue, and her eyes were overflowing with contempt. "The only person who will suffer is Annalise."

Jessica chuckled. "By the way, when I meet with Zane, you should make sure to snap a secret photo of the scene and send it to Annalise.

"They've only been together for a while, and their relationship isn't firm yet. Just casually send her the photo you took."
