The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven) novel Chapter 270

"To help you persuade Annalise, of course," said Jessica sweetly. "I want to talk to her and see if she's willing to get back together with you."

Steven wasn't against that idea. "Okay. I'll ask Zane when he's free."

Jessica found Steven even more distasteful after that. He agreed to take her to Huxham Corporation just like that.

He was so cruel. Jessica thanked her lucky stars for not falling in love with him. She was only after his money, after all.

She'd gotten what she wanted.

She said, "Okay. I'll be waiting."

"Okay."

Steven contacted Eric and was told that Zane had a lot on his plate recently. Zane was so busy that he probably wouldn't have time to meet Steven.

Eric was polite when he spoke, so Steven calmly responded with, "Okay. We'll hang out sometime later, then. I'm in no rush anyway."

"I'll get in touch with you when Mr. Huxham is free," said Eric.

"Okay."

Eric hung up after that. Meanwhile, Steven hesitated for a long time before telling Jessica about this.

Jessica faked a smile. She had to get on Steven's good side before she successfully became Zane's wife. But then, she realized that she was merely talking to Steven on the phone and that he couldn't see her face. So, she spoke to him in a gentler tone.

"It's fine," she said. "I can wait."

"Hi! Does Annalise Jamison work here?" a deliveryman asked after entering the office.

I stopped what I was doing and headed over to him. "Is something the matter?"

The deliveryman handed me a bouquet. "This is yours."
