"Then I'll leave it to you. If you need anything, contact me at any time." As soon as Nate finished speaking, he planned to get off work ahead of time, so that everyone would know that he had left the company.
When almost all the employees left the company, Bill turned off the light in his office. Everyone thought he had left the company now.
Soon, it was dark outside. Bill walked out of his office quietly. He looked around to see if there was anyone else, as if he was a thief.
Now that the CEO had told him to pay attention to Dick, he tiptoed to the outside of Dick's office, only to find that there was no light in his room. Did the CEO misunderstand that the man had left the office?
Bill stood quietly outside the door. When he really didn't know where to go, he seemed to hear a click from Dick's office, as if something had fallen on the ground.
Bill suddenly became alert. It seemed that there must be someone in the room.
He gently put his hand on the handle of the door, trying to check if it was locked. But Bill found himself unable to push it. It seemed that the door was locked inside.
Originally, everyone's office had to be locked when they left, so Bill was not sure if there was anyone in it now. After all, there was no light.
The best way now was to quietly stand outside the door and wait to see if there was anyone in the room.
If Dick was in this room, he would come out as soon as possible because he had a guilty conscience.
Bill had been in the outside for more than ten minutes. Bill thought there might be no one in the office, but he wanted to live up to the president's trust. He wanted to wait for about half an hour. If there was no one else, he would knock at the door.
While he was lost in various fancies and conjectures, the door of Dick's office had been opened, and a person came out from it.
There were two people in this office, but now it was dark. Bill didn't know if the person who came out was one of the two people in the office.
When that person went to a place with a little light, Bill found that the man was Dick, and he was very furtive.
Originally, there were surveillance cameras everywhere in the company. The programmers were not allowed to work overtime. If they worked overtime, two people must work overtime at the same time. This was the company's rule, and also Nate's shrewdness.
It was obvious that things had come to this situation. Bill walked out of the dark and asked in a very calm tone, "Mr. Liu, why are you still here?"
Dick didn't expect that Bill would block his way. He didn't know how to answer Bill's question, so he looked a little flustered there.
"Mr. Liu, don't you get off work a long time ago? Why are you still in the company?" Bill said aggressively.
At this time, Dick seemed to turn around and stammered, "I... I just went back from work, but I remembered that the machine in the company hasn't been turned off, so I came back to turn off the machine."
"Really? Then I'll get the surveillance video outside the company to see when you got off work and when you came back." Bill said and was about to go outside.
Dick was very flustered. "I just forgot. Actually, I came back when I reached the gate because I was in a hurry for a document in the company."
However, Bill didn't want to waste time with him. He took out his phone and called Nate, "Mr. Nate, Dick is working alone in the company now. What should we do with him?"
