The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven) novel Chapter 497

I barely had time to reply before Eric groaned from the side. "You two are always so lovey-dovey. Have you ever thought about how I feel?"

I glanced at him. "You still don't have a girlfriend?"

Eric laughed out loud. "I'm with Mr. Huxham practically every day, working non-stop. Obviously, I have no time for a date."

I glanced over at Zane. "Once work slows down, maybe we should give him some time off to find a girlfriend."

Zane didn't argue. "Yeah, sounds good."

Eric thought about it for a second, then shook his head. "Nah, forget it. I'm all about making money right now."

Zane didn't ask why and simply said, "Having more money gives you that extra confidence, no matter what you're up to."

Eric showed a sheepish smile.

Steven had an appointment with a psychiatrist. He sat in the office, staring at the psychiatrist, who was in the middle of eating. They made eye contact, and they both felt a little awkward.

The psychiatrist spoke up first. "I didn't expect you to be here this early."

The psychiatrist looked at his meal. "Do you mind if I finish eating first?"
