The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven) novel Chapter 101

Annalise's small suitcase was all she had taken after signing the divorce papers.

Stunned, Steven sat on the bed. If he had not found out about everything Jessica had done, he might never have realized just how much he had taken Annalise for granted. Guilt suddenly overwhelmed him.

He pulled out his phone to call Annalise but could not get through. Opening Instagram, he wanted to message her but did not know what to say. He sent an emoji in the end, only to see an exclamation mark appear.

Annalise had blocked him.

"This is what our team has been working on for the past year." The project manager handed his phone to Zane.

While Huxham Corporation's main business had been doing well over the past two years, they had decided to expand into new industries. Zane had delegated most of the authority to the project leads, as he preferred not to micromanage these new ventures.

But now…

Staring at the content on the phone, Zane hesitated to speak.

The project manager wished he could disappear when he sensed Zane's disapproval.

"Redo it," Zane commented after reading the content.

"M-Mr. Huxham, we really tried our best..." the manager stammered.

Zane shot him a look. "Are you telling me your entire team is incompetent and can only produce trash like this?"

The manager quickly defended, "No! Of course not—"

"Good."

Zane then continued, "Because if the next submission is of the same quality, start packing your desk."
