Avyanna's POV:

"S-Someone leaked our plan for the project black, madam."

Pin-drop silence.

One could cut through the air with a knife if they wanted. It was painful, anxious. I could feel each and every one of them crumbling from the insides as our deputy engineer in chief broke the unfortunate news.

I banged my fist on the wooden table, blood roaring in my ears. I saw red. Comical, visible, all-consuming red. It engulfed my vision and consumed me whole. 

They flinched, some of them shrinking visibly. Guilt marred each of their feature but it is of no avail. The damage had been done and their guilt wouldn't bring my master project back. 

Months of hard work, restless nights, no sleep for days. All in vain because of a snitch and my security officials could not do their job properly.

"Who did this?" My voice was eerily calm, even in my ears. I was losing my cool but it was not the time to throw a tantrum like a spoiled kid.

Project black submission was in a week and I had to keep my calm.

"We are suspecting that Carlos Markov is the one who initiated it-" My security chief walked over to me with his laptop and presenting me with the report of the breach, "The IP links back to his manor."

"Fucking Markovs..." I gritted my teeth, "Of course he is behind this."

I stood up, buttoning my suit. They stared at me expectantly. They know that one wrong move and the company could end up in the gutter.

 "Listen, everyone," My baritone rang through the otherwise silent but occupied space, "Chin up. If you sulk we will not get anything done." Some of them looked up, some of their eyes glinted. I could only feel bad for myself and them, they worked hard for this project too. Their hard work are lost too.
