The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven)

Eric continued with his report. "Ever since we found out about the annual profits of merchandise abroad, I started to research the categories of merchandise abroad, as well as their operation and profit strategies.

"I found out that not only did they have more variety than we do, but they also did not create impractical items like we do. They even have daily lifestyle items.

"My idea is... Since they are so ahead of us, there is no need for us to try and figure things out ourselves. I plan to send a representative from our company to learn the strategies abroad. That way, when they return, we could also roll out lifestyle products as merchandise. "That way, our sales would increase, and our profit would increase, too. What do you think?"

Zane hadn't expected Eric to put so much effort into it. Zane remarked, "That's a great idea, but this is not my decision to make."

Zane turned to me and asked, "What do you think?"

"You're doing all this so that I can earn more money," I said.

Ever since I began to work alongside Zane, my income had been increasing rapidly. Although I had always been shocked at the amount of income I received, I would never reject money.

I continued, "I fully support the idea."

Eric knew that if I agreed to it, Zane would agree too. Immediately, Eric sent somebody a text message. Minutes later, a young female graduate entered the room.

When she saw me, she paused. Then, she lowered her gaze. Suddenly, as if she remembered something, she looked at me again with a confused expression.

I thought her expression seemed odd. It was as if she knew me. I asked, "Have we met?"

The woman nodded hesitantly. She said, "You look familiar, but I can't recall where we've met. I've heard your voice, too."

I chuckled and said, "Perhaps we've bumped into each other somewhere."

"I think so," she said in agreement.

After we were done, Eric chimed in to introduce us to each other.

"Her name is Sage Turner, and she is the candidate that I plan to send abroad."

I asked curiously, "Will she be going alone?"

Zane said slowly, "Lately, it hasn't been very safe out there. It's unsafe for a young woman like her to go abroad alone, right?"

When Sage heard what we said, she became worked that she might be replaced. Hurriedly, she said, "I may be young and inexperienced, but

trust

me! If you're willing to entrust the task to me, I will do my best to complete it! I am capable of this task!"

Zane looked at Eric, who continued, saying, "We've contacted the

companies abroad and requested a bodyguard. They've promised to send her back in one piece. You can

be assured about her soucan

I looked at Sage, who seemed determined and pleased with the job. Seeing that, I didn't want to stop her anymore. After all, she had full control of her own fate.

But after some reflection, I decided to remind her. I said, "When you're abroad, be sure to protect yourself. No matter what happens, prioritize your own safety."noveldrama

Zane added, "If you lose any assets, tell Eric, and he'll reimburse you."

"Got it," Sage said, sighing in relief.

After telling Sage everything we needed to, Sage left the office.

Then, Eric told us, "She was willing to take on the task because she desperately needed money. I heard thata family member is awfully sick and needs a lot of money.
