Gina stared at the papers, and her legs buckled. She almost fell to the ground. Her countenance was as white as marble, and she was in a state of disbelief. She couldn't believe Nicole found her secret account that easily, and she stared at her in horror. "H-How did you find out?" she hissed.
She thought she'd done a good job keeping it a secret. Even though the base did have some dealings with the science academy, it wasn't serious enough to be kept a secret. Or, at least the ones they showed to the public were trivial enough to be out in the open. The secret account, however, was different. If that was found, she would definitely have to go to prison.
That account recorded all her personal dealings with the science academy. She sold the base's items to the science academy and pocketed all the profit for herself.
Nicole didn't answer. She merely stared at the screen and typed away; the air filled with the clacking of the keyboard. A while later, she stopped, the look on her face relaxed, and she chuckled. "We pay you a hundred and fifty grand per year, director. Yet you have… a few dozen million in your account. Two years ago, you bought so many houses across the nation, they were valued at a hundred and fifty million in total. You won't tell me anything stupid like you made that money yourself, will you?"
Gina took a deep breath and calmed down. She stared at Nicole and gritted her teeth. "I did some research over the years and made money through my patents and work.
"Then, how do you explain these?" Nicole hurled a stack of papers at her, and they fluttered to the ground. These were records of Gina's dealings with the science academy, and Gina had no way to escape this situation.
She paled, clenching her fists, still in disbelief at how fast Nicole did things. Before she could even say anything, someone knocked on the door, and in came a few dozen people, filling up the office. Roxanna was in the lead. She looked at the ashen Gina and turned to Nicole.

The readers' comments on the novel: Right Person, Wrong Time
What a waste of reading! This could have been an excellent novel if it hadn't skipped chapters after 531 and then everything is garbled. Get your act together if you still want a reading audience!!!...
