The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven) novel Chapter 334

Chupter 334 

Zase saw the curiosity and excitement written all over my face and couldn’t help but smile, “Why don’t you check your phone and take a look at your bank balance?” 

Following his end, I pulled out my phone and opened the banking app. My balance had increased over 200 thousand dollars.

“It was initially over 100 thousand dollars, after taxes, you got just over 200 thousand dollars in your account. As for the comprehensive benefits package, the company handles all that, sono need to way! 

1 still found it hard to believe. “That’s a lot already is my first time earning this much through my own efforts 

Looking at Zane, Ladded. “Turns out, warning my own way brings a real sense of peace. I don’t have to worry about anyone taking it away with some excuses or explaining where every perny goes. If I want to save it, I’ve it. I want to spend it, I will. It’s my freedom.” 

For a brief moment, I regretted not taking this step earlier Lite could’ve been so much better. 

Feeling a surge of happiness, I smiled. “Since I’m in such a good mood over my paycheck, Zane, what do gift do you want? I’ll get it for you.” 

Zane, who wasn’t short on money and could buy anything he wanted, hesitated before saying, “How about a fountain pen?” 

“Sure.” I remembered I had also promised to buy books to Willow and hadn’t done it yet 

Grabbing my bag. I headed downstairs. 

Before leaving, I glanced around to make sure no unwelcome people were lurking Once satisfied, I walked to the nearby bookstore. 

Inside the bookstore, I browsed through 

Grade One textbooks: language and math Knowing that textbooks alone might not be enough to teach Willow, I also picked a few workbook to 

help her grasp the concepts more solidly. 

At the checkout counter, I asked the cache, “Do you sell fountain pans here?” 

She pointed at a nearby shelf. “All of themare over there.”

Carrying the books, I approached the shell. The pens ranged widely in price, from just a few dollars tooves to thousand dollars. My eyes landed on the price tag, and 1 hesitated for a moment, feeling a panget reluctance her much consideration, I decided to go for it. 

After all, without Zane’s suggestion to start drawing comics, I wouldn’t have found such a great side job or earned this much money, 

I chose a sleek black fountain pen and brought it to the cashier. As the scanned the item, she glanced at me and remarked, “This pen is really expensive.” 

I knew she was trying to be helpful in case I had picked it by mistake. Smiling, I replied, “I know.” 

After scanting in, she told me the price. I pulled up the payment code on my phone. The cashier completed the transaction, still looking slightly surprised. “I can’t believe someone actually bought something this expensive.”
