"There's nothing I need to pay for, and there's even less for me to spend on. As such, I basically saved

and 1 can do whatever 1 want with it in the future-I'm not short of money.

Tell your employees to contact another artist instead, "I said.

Though Zane was surprised, he could only nod in agreement. "Alright."

"Besides, I have two jobs now," I added.

I knew what he was thinking-he probably couldn't understand why I didn't treasure the precious opportunity that he gave me.

As such, I explained, "My main priority is to take care of Willow. Even though she was unwilling to speak to people previously, she has started to talk to us now. She also likes to brag to others. "Since her situation is improving greatly, I have to try my best so that she'll recover eventually.

"Besides, I'll need a lot of time to draw my daily life with Willow."

After that, I said calmly and slowly, "Everyone has their limits.

"If I try to multitask and do other things all at once, I might not be able to do my work well. Wouldn't that result in more losses for me?

Once Zane beard my explanation, he fell silent for a while. Then, he said, "I didn't expect you to consider things so carefully.

"It didn't occur to me that you'd choose to work on both of these tasks when you rejected the other choices."

Zane smiled gently. "If we can't finish them, we'll have the leftovers boxed up."

There were a ton of people who kept peeking at us during our meal. I guessed that they were curious because Zane rarely ate at the company's cafeteria, yet he was here today. 1ignored them and continued eating

The meat dishes were sautéd nicely-they were fragrant and delicious. However, there wasn't a lot of seasoning for the vegetables, so their initial flavor could he tasted with a sweet kick

I nodded happily while eating, and thought, "If only I could doodle here more often..."

If I could get a cafeteria card from Zane, I would deposit some money inside it to buy a few dishes there

After finishing his meal, Zane left the company because he had other matters to attend to

It seemed that he was accustomed to behaving like a parent, for he gave me instructions before he left. He told me that I could continue drawing in the office, and if I was bored, I could take a walk around the place. Not to mention that I could also call him if I encountered any other problems.
