Zane raised a brow. "You have a point."


    He watched as Eric left, and only then did he slowlye up to me. I was busy sketching the merchandise designs. I''d move on to theics after I got sick of designing.


    There was a long pause before Zane asked, "Can I invest in yourpany?"


    I looked up from my sketches when I heard this and eyed him steadily. He blinked and asked, "What?"


    "Ourpany isn''t short on funds at the moment," I said. I thought it''d be better if I turned down his investment offer. "But if we''re ever in need of funds, I''lle to you for help."


    Zane seemed disappointed by my answer, but he conceded nheless. "By the way, how''s the othericing along?"


    He was referring to the romanceic I had been drawing on the side. I had been working on it but had not published it. Clicking into one of my work folders on theputer, I nced at the contents and said, "Here, take a look."


    Zane did so and said approvingly, "Continue with the uploads. You have thepany''s full support in marketing these twoics."


    I nodded. "Got it."


    I had made a lot of money off my firstic, and I could already imagine how much profit I stood to earn if I published a second one. And now that I was setting up apany of my own, it was only a matter of time before I became rich.


    My heart raced at the idea.


    Zane suddenly averted his gaze. "Now that thepany has a solid idea of marketingics thanks to your work, we n on signing on moreic artists. Part of our resources will go into promoting


    their work as well, and you won''t


    have full ess to them anymore. I thought I should give you a


    heads-up."


    I fully supported whatever development Huxham Corporation undertook. Grinning,


    I said, "Sounds good to me."


    Worried that I might be upset because of this, he pressed uneasily, "Are you sure you won''t mind?"


    "Why would I?" I turned to meet his gaze. "You''re helping otheric artists make money by promoting their work, and that''s a good thing. I''m not so selfish as to hog all the resources."


    He heaved a sigh of relief and returned to his desk. I stopped sketching and began contemting my future.


    With Huxham Corporation''s uing recruitment, Zane was bound to sign on moreic artists. It was time I readjusted my ns.


    I would continue publishing my currentics under Huxham Corporation. Once thoseics had finished their runs, I would take full controDover the marketing of my newics. It would be a waste if my new work couldn''t be promoted to the fullest.


    I beamed at the conclusion. I wouldn''t take my current work out of Huxham Corporation. Zane had put a lot of effort and money into promoting the twoics, and couldn''t betray him by taking my


    debut work out from under his belt.


    I could never stoop to such lows.


    ...


    Otis and Yelena arrived at Huxham Corporation early in the morning for the meeting. Eric greeted them and served them each a cup of tea. "Please have some tea while you wait."


    Otis grinned. "Thank you."
