The Alpha's Unclaimed Mate (Jason and Laila) by Caroline Above Story novel Chapter 82

Laila’s POV

“After my computer was tampered with, I decided to increase security measures around here,” I said. “That means more cameras.”

“I wasn’t told about that,” Sheila said.

“The board and I decided it was best to keep this a secret from most of the employees. We didn’t want anyone to worry. Now, I think we should all take a look at that footage, don’t you?” I asked.

Sheila was white as a ghost. “I don’t think that’s necessary…”

“I think it is,” I said. “If you were just stepping into the hall to try to help me, that will be shown. Why wouldn’t you want that? Unless of course, you are lying, and the footage will actually show you throwing a mini–bottle of vodka all over me.”

“Surely my word can be trusted?” Sheila asked, looking around. “I’m a well–respected employee here. It’s an insult that this is being questioned!”

“I’m also well–respected,” I told her. “And this is a big accusation. I think everyone deserves to see the truth for themselves.”

Some of the entrepreneurs there for the meeting as well as some of the other employees all agreed. A pair of board members had also been on site today, and they seemed the

Sheila herself was standing off to the side, away from the rest/ not within range of seeing the monitor.

The security officer pushed play on the video, which showed me walking in real time. As I reached the door to the meeting room, Sheila quickly ducked out. We spoke for a few seconds. Then she reached into her pocket and

What she had done was clear as day. She had thrown that mini–bottle of vodka all over me.

Almost as one, everyone who had been watching the monitor lifted their gaze to Shelta.

“This doesn’t change anything,” Sheila said. “I might have made her addiction more obvious, but she’s been fighting behind the scenes for years. Your company deserves better, Alpha Jason. All of your companies do. This company deserves better, too.”

1 stepped forward, breaking from the pack to approach her.

“This company deserves better than you, Sheila. You are someone who would ruin an innocent person’s reputation and career for her own advancement. You would make up terrible lies and even take actions to see those lies reinforced.”

“You don’t know what you are talking about,” she snapped.
