“Okay!” Just as Cleopatra was about to dash off, Duncan halted her.
“Why go through all that trouble? She was the only one who didn’t clock out yesterday. The record speaks for itself. Do you intend to cover for her, Miss Moore?”
Mya chimed in, “Exactly, something’s off if we still have to scrutinize what seems so obvious.”
“Only a thorough investigation ensures fairness to everyone,” Hannah responded. She then turned to Jalen.
“What do you think?”
Jalen, appearing quite serious, commanded his secretary, “Retrieve last night’s surveillance footage.”
“As you wish, Mr. White.”
The secretary returned promptly, a USB flash drive in hand. Duncan’s and Mya’s expressions shifted noticeably.
The secretary plugged the flash drive into a computer. The monitor displayed someone entering Hannah’s office after 10 PM, shrouded in darkness.
The intruder booted up the computer and copied files. Upon exiting, her features were caught clearly by the infrared high-definition camera.
“She’s trying to run away! Quick, grab her!”
An employee behind Mya stopped her attempted flight.
ALL eyes turned her way. Her legs gave out, and she crumpled to the floor.
“I didn’t intend to copy the files. It’s… it’s…”
She glanced at Duncan’s menacing face, fear silencing her. She finally hung her head and admitted, “I despise Miss Moore and wanted to get back at her.”
“Company secrets are at stake here! How could you jeopardize that over a petty grudge?” Jalen thundered.
“I simply wanted the satisfaction of revenge! Please, don’t involve the authorities!”

Without missing a beat, Hannah declared, “You’ve compromised the company’s confidential information, causing us damage. We have no choice but to pursue legal action. You are fired.”
Though the culprit had been found out, Jalen felt uneasy.
He walked into Hannah’s office, pacing back and forth.
“Is there a fix for this? If our environmental project falls through, these machines are basically junk.”
Firing up her computer, Hannah skimmed through some documents before looking up.
“Relax. Our business strategy is safe. I was just pretending when I was with them.”
“What?” Halting in his tracks, Jalen stared at her.
