The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven) novel Chapter 696

Eric was baffled. "What's that?"

Zane replied, "Blind boxes. We create a series of small figurines, seal them in boxes, and let people draw randomly to see if they get the one they want.

"When designing them, we need to include rare hidden editions. So, the players will feel a huge sense of accomplishment when they get one."

"If we turn all the characters from Annalise's comic into collectible figures and give them different outfits and styles, won't we make even more money?"

Eric hadn't expected Zane to have an acute business mind. "I'll get the planning team on it right away."

"Good." Zane waited for Eric to leave before turning to me. "I'll leave the figurine designs to you."

I smiled. "No problem." With that, I returned to my desk and powered on my computer.

Zane sat down beside me without a word and stared at me intently. Feeling puzzled, I turned to meet his gaze. "What's wrong?"

"Willow already agreed to us getting married," Zane said, wrapping his arms around me. His usually cold voice carried a rare trace of vulnerability. "So, when are we going to register our marriage?"

I had never really thought about it. "Do you wanna pick a date?"

Zane asked, "How about today?"

I was speechless. As I saw how his face clouded with self-doubt, I quickly added, "Today works, too. But do you have all the documents with you?"
