The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven) novel Chapter 164

Just as everyone was discussing heatedly, a message popped up.

"I want to know, too."

When Eric saw these four words, he suddenly had a bad feeling. He looked at the person's name.

"Zane."

Then, he looked at the group's name at the top of the chat.

"Huxham Corporation."

It was over! It was all over!

Wasn't he supposed to send this to their gossip group? How did it end up in the company's internal group chat?

Eric shakily held his phone. He wouldn't get fired, would he?

"Is it that obvious?"

Eric heard Zane's voice and—terrified—turned around.

Zane's expression was as calm as usual. "Hmm?"

Eric nodded. "Yes."

He took a deep breath. "Anyone who's worked here long enough could tell."

Zane, seeming to reflect, said, "I always thought I was hiding it well."

Eric lowered his head.

"The people in the group are still waiting for your answer." Zane, gripping the office door handle, spoke in a cold voice that seemed to carry a hidden meaning, "Don't forget to reply."

Once the office door closed, Eric felt like he'd dodged a bullet. He took a deep breath and, seeing that Zane wasn't upset, he finally answered in the group, "Annalise."

After sending the message, he carefully thought back on Zane's behavior.

It didn't seem right. Zane usually only allowed work-related discussions in the office group. Anything else was strictly forbidden.
