The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven) novel Chapter 438

Yvonne was thrilled to hear Jessica agree to her plan. "Of course!"

Brimming with confidence, Jessica said, "In that case, we'll have to work smart. I'll convince Steven to come up with the investment money while you sort out the termination."

"Roger that!" Yvonne said happily.

Jessica was about to call Steven after getting off the phone with Yvonne when she stopped herself. She figured she should talk to him about this in person, so she had the driver drop her off at Pelham Group.

The staff at Pelham Group knew her and did not stop her from seeing Steven. They were a couple, after all.

Jessica made her way toward Steven's office without hassle. She knocked on his door, and upon getting his permission to enter, she opened it.

Steven was alone in his office. She pulled out a chair across from him and took a seat, propping her face up with her hands as she stared at him earnestly.

He barely looked up from his work as he said flatly, "If there's something you need to tell me, spit it out."

Jessica tested the waters. "Don't you think we'd be making a loss if we invested in Huxham Corporation for only a meager return?"

Steven paused in his work and looked up at her. "What do you mean?"

She leaned forward, seemingly nervous. "I asked Yvonne about it. Right now, Annalise is only getting 15% in royalties for her work. Can you imagine how much merchandise we'd have to sell before we get our investment back?"
