The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven) novel Chapter 695

"Did we hit the jackpot?"

Eric waited until Zane opened the office door, and we all stepped inside. Once the door was closed and after ensuring that no one could overhear, he finally said, "You guessed right!"

I blinked in surprise. "What happened?"

Eric took a few deep breaths to calm himself before blurting out, "The comic department has been actively promoting your series all this while. Maybe their marketing worked really well, or maybe your comic is exceptionally good.

"The number of readers has been skyrocketing! Some readers are even recommending your books on their own now."

I was stunned.

Eric continued, "Your comic sales have multiplied several times compared to last month. Even the merchandise and plush toys are selling like crazy!"

My heart pounded. Last month's sales had already exceeded my expectations. I had even braced myself for a potential decline, but the sales had shot up.

Eric leaned in and continued, "Do you know what this means?"

I was momentarily speechless. After a pause, I shook my head honestly. "What does it mean?"

Eric immediately explained, "Next month, your post-tax income will multiply several times over."

Last month, I had already taken home over a million. If it increased several times again, that meant I'd be earning at least two million dollars. It took me a moment to calm down before I finally found my voice.

"Am I really making that much?"

"Of course." Eric chuckled and continued, "It's all thanks to your consistent updates and the comic department's dedicated efforts. That's why we're seeing such amazing results.
