The person who walked in was Wade.
All the racket in Calvin's office had caught the attention of a teacher who knew that Mirabella and Wade were pretty tight. After thinking it over, the teacher decided to head upstairs and fill Wade in on what was happening.
“What’s going on?” Wade asked as he walked in, glancing around at Calvin, then at Mirabella, Zane, and finally Meg.
Calvin hadn’t expected Wade to show up, and it left him momentarily speechless. Meg, who had been quietly standing to the side, was also taken aback. She’d only seen Wade a couple of times before and was too nervous to look him in the eye, though her excitement was evident.
Calvin quickly gathered himself and respectfully greeted Wade. Without wasting time, he explained the situation about his leaked data. He didn’t forget to mention that Zane and Mirabella had taken the documents.
Wade didn’t hesitate for a second before shaking his head. “You must be mistaken. Mirabella isn’t that kind of person.”
Zane’s eyebrows shot up. Mirabella isn’t that kind of person, so does that mean I am?
Even though Calvin’s accusations were mostly aimed at him, Wade’s defense made it seem like Mirabella was the one who needed to be cleared of suspicion.
Calvin’s eyes darkened a bit. He knew Mirabella had been brought in by Wade and figured they had some connection. Was Wade not worried about how openly protecting her might look?
Calvin felt a surge of frustration but kept it to himself. “This still needs to be looked into,” he said.
