The next day,
Bethany was lost in thought, thinking about how Ella was doing when at that very moment, she heard a loud knock on the door of the main office.
“Is Miss Bethany here?”
Hearing someone called out her name, Bethany quickly came out from her daze and stood up from her workstation.
“I'm here”
Gael held up his glasses and said in a warm voice, “The high-level meeting has begun and Mr. Meyer asked me to take you there”.
“Alright” Bethany quickly packed up her things with all due seriousness, then she took hold of her briefcase as she walked toward him with her computer in hand.
Bethany pretended to stagger as she walked. Looking at her at this moment, it felt as if she was going to fall if care is not taken. Gael was disheartened by this, but in the end, he didn't want to see her fall right when he was around so he decided to offer her his help.
“Let me help you out with the computer,” He said
“Thanks for your help” Bethany didn't notice anything wrong with his attitude, so she handed him the computer with a grateful smile.
The computer contains scanned copies of the design, which were very important. With someone there to help carry it, she wasn't worried about dropping them now.
Soon after, they arrived at the conference room.
With Gael's help, Bethany took a seat by the door.
Her arrival was discreet but she soon drew everyone's attention towards her.
Joanna was the first to spot her. While Joanna was looking at the computer and briefcase in front of her, the corners of her lips curled into a sneaky smirk, but she immediately change the expression on her face as she now looked very serious.
“Mr. Meyer” Bethany called out while looming toward the man at the head seat.
“Are you ready?” Zayn looked up at her.
Hearing his question, Bethany nodded confidently.
“Then let's begin” Zayn folded his hands on the table and said blandly.
Bethany nodded and took a deep breath before pulling her briefcase close and opening it. Taking a blue folder out of it.
Then, as she flipped the folder open, she froze instantly.
How did this happen!?
“What's wrong?” Zayn asked, narrowing his face upon seeing the disgruntled look on Bethany's face.
Bethany clenched her palms together and said in a sad voice,“ My design is missing”.
“It's missing?” Zayn knitted his brows deeply.
“It's all white paper. My design has been stolen” Bethany replied, spreading the papers put for him to see.
“Stolen?” Joanna covered her mouth and snickered, “Bethany, could it be that you didn't even draw it and made up the excuse on purpose? Who would steal your designs?”.
“Maybe there is ” Bethany turned her head and looked at Joanna with deep emotion.
Seeing this, Joanna's eyes twinkled and slapped the table in anger, “What do you mean? Why are you looking at me like that for? Do you think I have stolen it?”.
“I never said that you stole it, Miss Meyer. You don't have to react so badly, isn't it?" Bethany sulked and said in a clear, cold voice as she glared at Joanna ferociously.
Joanna choked at this. Then, she became very furious and was about to say something.
Zayn couldn't stand around and watch them get into a brawl like this, so he pursed his lips and scolded, “That's enough!”.
“No!” Joanna pointed at Bethany excitedly.“Zayn, not only is she holding up the meeting, but she's also.......”
“Do you not understand me at all?" Zayn interrupted her sternly, and the expression on his face was as cold as a bag of Ice.
