Tired from work, I picked up my phone to read the readers' comments.
The readers were saying that the comic was very heartwarming and hoped the child would get better soon.
I replied to each comment, "Thank you."
There were also some negative comments, but I ignored them.
There was a knock on the door. It was Eric, and he entered right after.
Puzzled, I looked at him. Usually, he would only come to report something to me when Zane was around. What was he doing here today?
Eric grabbed a chair, walked over to me, and sat down. "From now on, my assistant and I will be handling your work."
Why the sudden change?
Confused, I asked, "Wasn't the previous editor doing just fine?"
Eric muttered, "Yvonne doesn't even want to promote you, and you think that's fine?"
His voice was so low that I didn't catch what he said. "What?"
Eric immediately switched to a professional smile. "Well, the main reason is that I really like your work."
I hadn't expected him to express his liking for my work so directly. Flattered, I said, "Thank you for liking my work!"
"You're welcome." Eric then lowered his voice and asked, "Have you seen what everyone has been chatting about in the gossip group chat recently?"
I shook my head. "I've been really busy lately, so…"
Eric had initially planned to chat with me about the juicy gossip in the company to get closer to me. However, he held back when he saw my confused expression. "If you have time, you should have a look."
"Sure."
Eric checked the time. "A client is coming in five minutes to discuss business, so I'll be heading off now."
After he spoke, he quickly walked off.
