Jasmine looked at Shane in disbelief. “Shane, do you not trust me?”
“It’s not that I don’t trust you. It’s because you’ve done this before. You’ve targeted Natalie previously.” Shane was referring to the things she did last time.
Jasmine stomped her feet in anger. She was annoyed at Shane’s distrust for her. “Yes, I admit that I didn’t like her and targeted her back then. But I swear it wasn’t me this time! If it were me, I would have stopped her from reviewing the security footage!”
Shane froze slightly when he heard this. Then, he lowered his eyes and went deep into thought.
Upon noticing this, Jasmine knew that Shane was swayed by her words. A smirk crept onto her face.
However, she adjusted her facial expressions quickly and held onto his arm. Swaying it from side to side, she looked up at him and said, “Shane, you’ve got to believe me. After you told me not to make Natalie’s life difficult, I listened to you! I would never disobey your words.”
“Alright.” Shane retracted his arm indifferently. He brushed the creases on his shirt and remarked, “I hope it really isn’t you. Otherwise, I’ll make you go back to your studio.”
With that, he walked out of the meeting room without looking at her again.
Meanwhile, in the surveillance room, Natalie had her arms crossed and her eyes glued to the surveillance monitors. She was afraid to miss any clues and scrutinized every frame.
Shane walked over and stood beside her. They stood there and observed the recordings for a short while before Shane asked, “So? Did you notice anything?”
She shook her head and informed him with a serious expression, “No. This is my second time reviewing the recordings. No one even came close to my workstation from yesterday till this morning.”
“Something isn’t right.” Shane furrowed his brows.
Natalie rubbed her chin with a puzzled expression. “Indeed, I feel the same too.”
If nobody touched my workstation, why would my drafts just go missing? Even the scanned copies were deleted from my laptop.
Obviously, there’s more to this!
But what did I miss?
Natalie bit her nails and lowered her head in thought.
Then, she suddenly thought of something. She told Shane, “Mr. Shane, I’m very sorry for ruining today’s meeting. Please give me some time to sort this out. I’ll definitely find out what happened. For me, and for you.”
