There was so much to tell Pennleigh about what happened the day before, but Hesper just gave a brief explanation. Pennleigh called her after reading halfway through it.
"I've never heard of any employees being left behind. I have a feeling that this was done intentionally." Penneligh looked serious. "I'm not going to allow someone to do that."
Hesper suspected that 013 was behind this, but it wasn't his style to be so childish. If 013 wanted to take her life, it wouldn't be that simple.
"I think Evon is behind this." Hesper was blunt. "I can't think of anyone who would want to do this to me other than him."
"But we don't have evidence."
Pennleigh could see the hesitation in her eyes, but he looked down. "The cameras weren't working because the electricity was cut off… You didn't even get an explanation for what happened before this, but now something new happened."
"Who said that I don't have evidence for the previous time?"
Hesper didn't think that Evon would have the audacity to do that and even repeatedly target her. Ever since Hesper joined the company, she didn't cross paths with him a lot. Other than the deal for Elise Lanning, they weren't competitors.
"I thought that we're all from the same company, and since he didn't do anything that harmed me, I would let it slide." Hesper's face turned cold. "However, it seems that being nice to others has come back to haunt me, so I'm not going to just keep quiet about it.
Pennleigh nodded. "Send the evidence to me and I'll take care of it. I promise that Evon won't be there when you get back to the office… How are your legs? I didn't hear you mention that they were in bad condition.
