The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven) novel Chapter 437

Steven hadn't expected such courtesy from Jessica. "You're welcome," he replied. "We might not be married, Jessica, but I still want you to do well."

Jessica's lips curled. She knew it was hard for any man to resist her charms. After hanging up on Steven, she called Yvonne and asked about the sum she should have Steven invest in her work.

Yvonne replied, "I'm not sure about that, either. I'll ask our secretary and get back to you on this."

"All right."

Yvonne stood outside Eric's office and knocked on the door.

Eric said flatly, "Come in."

Yvonne stopped before him and dipped her head as she asked quietly, "How much do we need to invest in Jessica's comic before the company agrees to launch official merchandise?"

Eric recalled Zane's warning that Jessica was problematic. If they launched merchandise for her comic and the customers demanded a refund after learning about her true colors, the company would take a huge hit.

However, the fact that Yvonne was here and asking him about merchandising meant she was prepared to help Jessica at all costs. If he tried to dissuade her from such an attempt, she might think he was giving them a hard time on purpose.

As such, Eric had to come up with a way to help them launch their merchandise without involving Huxham Corporation.

He eyed Yvonne thoughtfully, and within seconds, a bright idea came to him. He smiled and said, "You might be able to come up with the money, but if you think about it, Huxham Corporation will be taking a huge cut of the profits if you produce and launch the merchandise under our company."

Yvonne considered this and found herself agreeing with Eric. He continued, "So I was thinking that you could keep your job at Huxham Corporation and transfer the rights to Jessica's work to another company.
