The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven)
Chapter 242

"Yes," Zane replied decisively. "We're short-handed. Go to the HR department and have them handle the recruitment. As long as the candidates have the right skills, money won't be an issue."

Eric, who had worked with Zane for a long time, knew how generous Zane could be. He smiled and replied, "Got it."

After leaving the meeting room, Eric went straight to the HR department. He briefed them on the roles that needed to be filled and the standards required and made it clear that he would personally interview the applicants to decide who to keep.

Zane returned to his office and walked over to me. "I have good news," he said.

I looked up at him. "What is it?"

"The sales of the dolls are doing exceptionally well," Zane said as he sat across from me. "The link has only been out for less than two hours, and we've already sold 2,000 units."

I was surprised. "Really? People are buying them?"

Zane smiled and explained, "Kids these days really like them. After this batch sells out, your earnings should be around 24 thousand dollars."

As a businessman, Zane didn't even need to calculate the numbers-he knew the approximate figures as soon as the data came in.

He continued slowly, "Once the promotion picks up and your fan base grows to a million, the monthly merchandise revenue could bring in several million dollars."

He reached out his hand. "Congratulations! You won't need to work overtime doing side gigs anymore."

I felt like I was dreaming as I listened to Zane's analysis. I couldn't believe I was making this much money.

I reached out and took his hand. "If it weren't for you, I never would've gotten this opportunity. Thank you."

"You're welcome," Zane replied. He didn't let go of my hand and simply gazed at me, as if afraid I might quit.

He smiled and asked, "When you become a little rich, will you still want to be Willow's mom?"

Without hesitation, I answered, "Of course, Zane..."

I looked him in the eye. "I really like Willow. As long as you don't ask me to leave, I'll stay by her side and be there for her as she grows up." Zane finally seemed relieved. "Thank you."

Only then did Zane finally release my hand. I took out my phone to check the income from each account. To my surprise, the total came to 5,000 dollars.

The account's homepage, which featured Huxham Corporation's products, showed that a few units had been sold, earning me an additional 2,000 dollars in commission.

Altogether, the three sums added up to approximately 31 thousand dollars. With my salary for taking care of Willow, my total monthly income would be 100 thousand dollars. The best part was that this income would keep growing. If I saved, I could easily accumulate at least a million dollars a year.

I could hardly believe my eyes as I repeatedly calculated the numbers. After confirming that I hadn't made a mistake, I excitedly hugged Zane. "Thank you!" Zane returned the hug. "You're welcome."

When I first divorced Steven, all I wanted was a job to earn enough to support myself. I never imagined that one day, my assets would exceed a million dollars. "I'm so happy!" I exclaimed.

Zane gently patted my back. "Anna, you'll make even more in the future."

"Mm!" I nodded.

I released Zane and returned to my work, feeling more motivated than ever. I looked at the growing stack of uncolored drafts, but I wasn't the least bit frustrated. All I wanted to do was work overtime.

After that, Zane went back to his desk. I propped my chin on my hand, debating whether to save all this money or start my own business.
