My Great Escape Led Me to You (Emily Blair) novel Chapter 463

The silence in the office had stretched on for so long that Sadie grew uneasy. After a moment's hesitation, she finally spoke up. “Ms. Blair, earlier, Ms. Anderson from the Games Division told me she knows Mr. Lane from way back. She suggested she could handle the negotiations with I&A. Ms. Anderson’s hoping we can secure the rights to Black & White Rabbit.”

Emily Blair opened her eyes, her voice low and indifferent. “Let her give it a shot. If it doesn’t work out, come back to me.”

At last, she’d spoken.

Although Ms. Blair wasn’t old, and she was never harsh with her team—company perks were excellent, too—everyone knew she was a stickler for details. Nobody dared make a mistake on her watch.

Sadie let out a breath she hadn’t realized she was holding. “Honestly, I don’t think we need to stress too much about the Black & White Rabbit license. Mr. Lane doesn’t seem desperate to hang onto it. Besides, the game he wants to develop isn’t in conflict with our plans.”

Emily looked up. “What kind of game are they making?”

Sadie answered honestly, “Ms. Austin is a pianist. Apparently, Mr. Lane wants to impress her, so he’s planning a piano-themed game. It’s nothing like our simulation project, so there’s no competition. That means he’s more likely to sell us the rights for Black & White Rabbit. Plus, those rights are expensive. Mr. Lane’s a businessman—he knows how to maximize his profits.”

Emily didn’t respond right away. She simply said, “Alright. Go call Megan Anderson in. I need a word with her.”

“Of course.”

After Megan Anderson updated her on the situation, Emily just nodded and gave a few brief instructions before sending her off to Riven for the business trip.

The Rabbit Gang project was Emily’s responsibility, and the company had poured serious resources into it—a sprawling, intricately designed animal-world simulation game. Practically everyone in the company had put in long hours, all hoping this project would finally reward them with healthy bonuses. Emily herself had been running herself ragged to make it a success.
