The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven) novel Chapter 523

After comparing my situation with the past, I couldn't help but smile.

It was no surprise that people were different from one another.

When I cared for Willow for Zane, I didn't have to spend extra money on her. Every month, Zane would pay me a hefty salary, too. A month's salary from Zane was more than the two years' worth of allowance that Steven gave me.

Even then, Zane was worried that I wouldn't have sufficient income, and he introduced me to other part-time jobs.

Given the circumstances, I would still choose to live with Zane even if he and I were just in a regular working relationship and weren't dating.

When I didn't know what was good and bad, I would have compromised and forced myself to endure it. It was because I was afraid I might be unable to find a better alternative after leaving. But after knowing what it was like to live a good life, I never wanted to go back to my horrible past again.

…

Zane left reluctantly after receiving a series of calls from work. Meanwhile, I returned to my room and continued with my autographs. I became more adept at signing autographs after signing so many of them. I was quick, and the autograph looked good.

When I looked at my own autograph, I couldn't help but be amazed at how the autographs were so nicely signed.

After tirelessly signing autographs, my hand became tired. But I chose to endure it because I wanted to finish signing all the autographs sooner.

When the employee from the publishing company noticed that I was slowing down, he asked, "Would you like to rest?"

"It's okay, I can do it!" I said with a smile.

I quickly exercised my wrists, and then returned to signing autographs when my hands felt better.

Another employee exclaimed, "You're so pretty and have a rich boyfriend, but you're still working so hard! I really admire you."

The employee had tasted the food Zane brought with him for lunch. It was much more delicious than what she had eaten at restaurants elsewhere!

I chuckled and asked, "But only the money you earn is yours, isn't that right?"
