Cleopatra’s face flushed with indignation.
“You’re setting her up!
Miss Moore wasn’t even in the office when this supposedly happened!”
Mya shot back, “Well, you were here! Who’s to say you didn’t use her computer? And now you’re blocking us. Sounds suspicious, doesn’t it?”
“Enough,” Hannah said icily.
“Take the computer to the tech department for an inspection. Any issues, consult me.”
“Since the boss approved, leave this place!”
Duncan swiftly sidestepped Cleopatra, went inside and retrieved the computer. As he emerged, he murmured, “Get this computer to the tech team. Make sure they scrutinize it thoroughly. No clue should go unnoticed!”
After relocating the computer, Duncan surveyed the office before addressing Hannah.
“Given that the computer is under examination, Miss Moore, you won’t be able to work today. You may return after the investigation is concluded in a couple of days.”
“The environmental protection project is pressing us for time. We’re working extra hours. What have you been up to?” Jalen inquired, clearly displeased.
Duncan was unfazed by Jalen’s attitude.
“We’ve been managing other assignments lately. Miss Moore relies solely on Cleopatra. We haven’t documented the project yet. Plus, the leaked secrets aren’t confined to Miss Moore’s computer. I’m concerned the project might be put on hold. I knew she couldn’t handle it. Cleopatra must’ve betrayed us, exploiting our boss’s trust to leak information to the enemy!”
Tears threatened to spill from Cleopatra’s eyes as she said, “I’m innocent! I didn’t compromise any information!”
Mya seized the opportunity to slander her.
“You were the only one who left the office at 1 last night. With no one around and no cameras, who knows what you were up to?”
She then turned to Jalen and added, “Mr. White, you might not know that she was pretty useless before Miss Moore arrived. But once she did, Cleopatra cozied right up to her. That misjudgment gave her the opportunity to act!”
Hannah lifted an eyebrow and smiled, “Who told you there are no cameras in the office?”

Mya’s smugness evaporated instantly. She glanced around and shot back, “Cameras in our office? You’re talking nonsense!”
Hannah simply gestured towards her own office.
“I’ve got cameras installed in there.”
“I usually take certain precautions for my own safety, so my workspace has two security cameras installed,” Hannah said.
Arching an eyebrow, she queried, “Shouldn’t we consult the surveillance footage to find out who stole the files from my computer that evening?”
A hush fell over the room. Hannah instructed Cleopatra, “Head to the security department and retrieve the footage.”
