"I finally get why she chose to leave you," he said.

Zane continued, "But you chose to giveall this information when she had a better choice." He looked directly into Steven's eyes and asked, "So, tell me. Are you afraid she'll get together with me?" Steven fell quiet, to which Zane speculated, "Do you still love her?" Without any hesitation, Steven shook his head and said, "Of course, I don't! Quit joking!" "That's good." Zane was content with Steven's answer.
On the other hand, Steven started feeling unsettled after hearing Zane's response.
Zane sensed something off with Steven but didn't say anything about it. He simply assumed that the topic of conversation had cto an end.

Remember to add her." I looked at my phone. The editor's nwas Yvonne Frost.
After I sent her an invite on WhatsApp, Eric said, "You can ask her if you have any questions regarding your work in the future. You can callif she can't settle the problem for you." I was a little surprised to learn that he was concerned about that. "Okay," I said.

After that, he looked at the door and, after making sure that Zane wasn't coming here, lowered his voice and asked, "What do you think of our boss?" Was he talking about Zane? After running the question through my mind, I answered, "He's a generous and approachable boss?" Eric looked hesitant. "Just... a boss?" Without giving it a second thought, I responded with, "What else could he be?"
Eric fell silent. He thought, "These days, Zane acted like he wanted to the he wanted take Annalise wherever he went. How could she still see him as merely a superior? Can't she be bolder and more aminov
"What do you want to tell me?" | asked after seeing that look 95 Eric's face. He seemed like he wanted to say something, but the words got stuck in his throat. Eric wouldn't tellabout it, though. Instead, he said, "I thought you'd see him as a friend at least." I found it rather amusing. "If he thinks I'm his friend, then we probably are." Eric lifted an eyebrow. Did that mean Zane took the lead in their relationship? Questions nagged at Eric's mind, but considering we weren't close, he could only swallow his words.
After stime, he mustered the courage and told me, "Letadd you to a group chat. It's for for the staff to gossip about whatever happens in our company." Humans were social creatures, after all! The more we chatted, the closer we got. By then, Eric could be frank and askwhat was on his mind.
