Lucy was so surprised that she sprung up from her chair. She walked up to Mabel and held her hand. "Maple, you're my lucky star. This is such good news." Mabel could not help but blush in embarrassment. She stole glances at her, thinking, 'Wow, Ms. Lucy is so pretty.' Her voice was as soft as a mosquito as she said, "Thank you, Ms. Lucy. It's nothing, really." Lucy patted her hand and said, "It's not nothing. If someone notices your work, that means you're outstanding." Mabel smiled. She was glad that she was able to help Lucy.
"When will the investor be here? Don't worry, I'll make sure to negotiate a good deal for you!" Lucy was even more motivated now. She could not believe she received such good news right after she set a target for herself. She had to seize this opportunity and make a nfor Lulu Comics. Once she established a reputation for her company, the rest would fall into place.

She asked, "Ms. Lucy, when the investor comes, can I join in the talks?" Lucy was a little confused. "You're the one who wrote and illustrated the comic, so, of course, you have to be there with me." Mabel was getting a little anxious. "N-No, that's not what I mean. What I mean is...
"When selling the rights to this comic, can I join the team as the lead writer? I don't want the plot to be altered completely. The characters in the story are like my children. I've watched them grow bit by bit and..." Mabel's words were becoming even more confusing, but Lucy understood what she meant. She pondered for a moment and answered her carefully, "Don't worry, Maple. I'll try my best to fight for it, but I can't guarantee it because the story ultimately depends on the director the investors have chosen." Mabel was a little disappointed, but she still thanked Lucy. "It's alright, I know that it's an important decision. I appreciate you helping me, Ms. Lucy.
"Since there's nothing else, I'll get back to work now. Go ahead and do what you need to do, Ms. Lucy." With that, Mabel turned around and left Lucy's office. Lucy watched her leaving with a tinge of sadness, feeling a pang of sympathy for her.
It was just one small condition. She could try her best to fight for it when she met the investor.
After Mabel left, Lucy sat down and concentrated on work again. Since Lucy had to make tfor the investor who was coming the day after tomorrow, her work had just doubled.
After a long day of going through documents, Amy knocked on the door.

Lucy lifted her head blankly and looked out the window. While shel was busy approving documents, the sun had already set.
She hesitantly looked at the pile of files on the table that had yet to be approved, and she smiledreassuringly. "It's okay. You can go hfirst. Everyone else must've left already. I'm sorry for making you stay so late. "I'll take care of the rest."
