Sasha seemed to finally understand why Zane's company had grown so big.
The benefits were incredible! No wonder everyone worked so hard!
Eric continued, "We provide three meals a day, housing, and allowances."
Sasha was speechless. She felt like she was dreaming. How could there be such a good company in this world?

After they left the office, I kept working. I finished today's drawings, then sat in front of my computer, turning the colored comic into a short video to post online.
Watching the growing number of followers and comments made me smile. They were all so supportive of me. Maybe I should release a little bonus scene today.
Excited, I opened the folder, only to be surprised to find more uncolored comics piling up.
It seemed like I couldn't slack off. I buried myself in work again.
"Are you tired?" Zane's voice came from behind me as he walked into the office. "Want me to give you a massage?"
"Just a bit." I leaned back on the couch. "I'd be more than happy to receive a massage."
Zane's large hand landed on my shoulder, and he started gently massaging.
Surprised, I turned to look at him. "You're serious?"
"Yeah." His voice was as cold as usual. But this time, it carried a hint of emotion. "You've been so busy lately. You haven't had much rest."
I didn't deny it. I worked on comics during the day, and at night, I took care of Willow. It wasn't easy.
But all that exhaustion was physical. When I saw the results, it made all the effort feel worthwhile.
