Chapter 112 She’s Alana
When Sean received the files from Cameron at six in the morning, he wasted no time over the past two days gathering all the information he could. He opened the picture he had taken of Abigail’s notebook and meticulously laid out all the drafts Cameron had collected. She had sketched a multitude of patterns. Sean meticulously compared them to the patterns in Alana’s designs.
When he came across the same stork design, Sean placed his phone on the draft and examined it closely. The shading used by Abigail on the stork was strikingly similar to Alana’s style. He knew
that shading was a critical aspect of an artist’s talent, and no matter how gifted Abigail was, she couldn’t replicate the essence of Alana’s art in such a short time.
He concentrated tirelessly, searching for similarities between Alana’s and Abigail’s designs. As time
ticked by, he held up the final design. He scrutinized it to compare it to the ones in Abigail’s
notebook.
The design had an unmistakable smudge and was adorned with intricate rose designs. He recalled
taking a picture of a rose drawing in Abigail’s notebook the previous night, and it bore the same
shading technique as the final draft. Even though the final design had transformed the roses into a
3D representation, the core design remained unchanged.
Sean couldn’t tear his eyes away from the draft. He overlapped them all, and then, clutching his phone tightly, he got up.
Cameron quickly followed Sean, expecting him to seek out Abigail. However, Sean headed for the
elevator instead. Just as they reached the elevator, they ran into Joan, who came out from the other
elevator.
Joan hurried over to Sean, but she hesitated momentarily when she noticed the stack of drafts he
held. “Where are you going, Sean? The show starts today, and I’m feeling nervous. Can we chat for a
bit?” She glanced at the drafts in his hand, and when she realized they were Alana’s work, her eyes
darkened.
Sean pressed a button on the elevator panel. “I’m short on time, Joan. You have a busy schedule, too. Head to the dressing room.” The elevator doors slid open, and Sean stepped inside before she
could
