Wayne was known to be a cunning businessman. He could tell that Lucy was calm because she knew that there was something wrong with the documents he had given her.
However, he was suddenly curious about something. “Looks like you’re confident that your artist is the original creator of the comic, and you have no doubts at all about it.”
Lucy closed the file in front of her and looked Wayne straight in the eye. She said with conviction, “Yes, I’m confident of that. These documents aren't enough to convince me otherwise.
"Every piece of evidence here points to their artist plagiarizing from an artist of ours. As for the reason for doing so, I’ll let the artist explain it to you personally.”
She turned toward the door and called out, “Come in, Maple.”
Mabel had been waiting outside the door, but she did not walk in immediately when Lucy called out to her. She took a deep breath outside the meeting room and relaxed before pushing the door and entering the room.
She nodded at Lucy and Wayne inside the meeting room. “How do you do, Miss Quinn and Mr. Erlington? I’m Maple, the artist for this comic.”
Lucy was a little surprised to see how Mabel looked. She was usually an introvert. Lucy had never seen her looking so determined and gracious like this. However, Lucy quickly hid the surprised look on her face.
She was facing a wily old fox from the business world. It would be bad news if Wayne caught a whiff of something wrong from her expression.
Lucy maintained a calm demeanor but was quietly complaining. These old foxes were so difficult to handle. Would she become like them one day as well? Fortunately, Wayne was focused on Mabel and did not notice Lucy’s expression. He contemplated Mabel for a while.
