The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven) novel Chapter 469

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."
