Melody POV

The morning of the presentation came as fast as I expected. I woke up early to prepare for the office and by six am, I was on my way to the office. Before I left for the office, Lorena wished me luck and hope that by the end of the day, I got to stay at the end.

I arrived at the office at exactly 6:30 am. When I got to the security checkpoint, they gave me a suspicious look as I came to the office to steal something. After making them understand that I came early for business, I took the elevator to the 35th floor. No one was on the floor yet and it gave me the space and time I needed to prepare for the presentation.

For an hour and thirty-minute, I didn't seat and was walked around while reading out the lines for the presentation. "Letting everyone knows that with memories, all the bad memories go away." I ended the practice with that and stretched my body. I was tired because I awoke all through the night.

It was exhausting.

I decided to get a coffee from the cafe that was two blocks away from the office. The office had a coffee maker but I wanted to get one from the cafe because of how good it tastes. On getting there, I was met with a long queue. I had to wait in line until it got to my turn. After waiting for a few minutes, it got to my turn and I ordered an espresso. While waiting for my order, I realized I had spent thirty minutes in the cafe. After getting my coffee, I ran back to the company. When I got to the company, I stopped running and took a deep breath before entering the company. Some of the staff had arrived and were running around the company while some were just arriving and heading towards the elevator. I followed them into the elevator and manage to squeeze myself among the ten people in the elevator.

Once the elevator got to the 35th floor, I rushed out and walked fast to my desk but then I heard a noise coming from Giovanni's office. It was more like an argument between two people. I pretend to be seating behind my desk but my eyes were fixed on the transparent glass. Giovanni was arguing with Cassandra and from the way, Cassandra threw her hands up, I could tell it was a heated argument. Giovanni soon caught me staring and shut the transparent glass.

"Rude much," I commented and turn to face my laptop. I realized that I didn't shut my laptop while rushing to get a coffee but I didn't care since I met it the same way I left it but something was missing and it was the files. All the files on memories were gone. My laptop was blank and even when I checked the recycle bin to see if I made the mistake of deleting them, it wasn't there either. Someone had tampered with my laptop and all the files were gone. I wanted to scream but I couldn't because I didn't have proof that someone had touched my computer I knew someone did it to punish me but who could it be?

I stood up from my chair and paced around. I walked towards Giovanni's door to knock and informed him about the missing files but he was never going to believe me because he wanted me gone. My first suspect was Lindsey because she hated me but she could not have done something so extreme then I thought about Lorenzo who also hated me but he couldn't have stooped so low just to send me away. For a few minutes, I thought about who could have actually done it and my mind went over to Cassandra. She was the only one capable of committing such because not only did she hate my guts, but she also hated me for stealing her spotlight. I didn't know what to do but just paced around the office and thought of what to say at the meeting.

"It's over," I thought aloud.

The door to Giovanni's office opened and Cassandra stepped out of the office with a sly smirk on her face. I wanted to confront her but I kept my cool because I have no proof, yet.
