My Boss My Secret Husband (Hazel and Logan) novel Chapter 10

“What? Me? Why?”

“Somehow a large order of office supplies for one of our biggest clients just…up and vanished? No one seems to know what happened to it. The client is pissed, the higher ups are pissed. This was our biggest order of the quarter, we are losing a ton on this,” Maria explained.

“They think I did it?”

“I think that’s what they’re looking into now, nobody knows for sure yet who’s to blame,” she said. “Everyone’s nervous though, those orders go through a lot of hands before they’re processed. But I heard some whispers about who they’ve narrowed it down to, and you’re on the list.”

Bob, our immediate supervisor, stepped into the center of the room. Everyone in the office went completely silent.

“Can I please see Elena, Hazel, and Janice in the conference room?” He said solemnly. He turned and headed that direction.

“Oh my god,” I said. “I didn’t mess up this order, you know how careful I am!”

“It’s okay,” Maria said, She placed a hand on my shoulder. “There’s always a huge paper trail for these things. They’ll be able to tell it wasn’t you.”

Maria’s words soothed my nerves some, and I walked towards the conference room behind Janice and Elena. Bob stood in the front of the room, and he gestured at the seats in front of him when we entered. We sat.

He cleared his throat. “I’m sure by now you’ve heard the news that we’ve lost a large shipment that was to go out to one of our biggest clients, Office Surplus.”

The three of us nodded.

Bob continued. “We’ve been hard at work trying to resolve the issue. We’re hoping we don’t lose our client over this, as they’ve threatened to end their contract with us over it.”

My eyes grew wide. That would really hurt our company if they took their business elsewhere. They were responsible for at least 50% of our profit every quarter.
