"You were outside?"

Ji Hu nodded with a convincing smile on her face.

"With Gu Won?"

She nodded again.

Seong Min crossed his arms at her. "Ms. Shin and I saw you and Gu Won in your office." 

"You saw someone else?"

"Ji Hu!" 

Ki Hwan was working on his computer, looking over some of the emails from fans about some concerning postings dealing with some of the acts under Mirae Entertainment. The girls were doing the same while Gu Won sat next to them, not lifting a finger. He sat at the spare desk that any of the interns at the company could use. He was talking to himself, Ki Hwan glanced over to him when he mentioned the word "powers". Ki Hwan turned his head slowly towards Gu Won, but Gu Won didn't even notice Ki Hwan's look.

Yeon Woo stood up slightly, placing her hands onto the desk. "Do you want to go for drinks after work, Mr. Jeong?" she asked sweetly. Ki Hwan and Ji Ah gave her a look. "What, I just want to throw him a welcome party." 

"Since when?" Ki Hwan asked.

"We always throw them."

"No, we-" Yeon Woo used her foot, pushing Ji Ah's chair away from the desks. Yeon Woo smiled at Gu Won. Gu Won didn't even respond to any of them, he was in his own head, trying to figure out why his powers worked on Ki Hwan but not on the bastard that was after Ji Hu. 

"What do you say?"

Gu Won lifted his head up, realizing someone was talking to him.

Ji Hu watched the security footage from Madam Ju's office. She was watching it until it felt like her eyes were bleeding. Those pills could have been switched out at any point from the moment she arrived home from the hospital after her tests to the day of her murder. Ji Hu ate a brownie as she sat and watched the endless amounts of CCTV footage. As she ate the brownie, she noticed the footage jump.

Ji Hu paused the video, going back ten seconds. She leaned forward, keeping a close eye on the lamp on the table. The bag moved from the right to the left. Ji Hu then went back 10 seconds again, looking at the time on the footage. As soon as the bag moved to the left, it was over fifteen minutes between each clip.

"Shit." Ji Hu whispered, leaning back in her chair. She tapped her fingers against the desk. "They already got to it." Ji Hu ran her hand through her hair, sighing heavily. She should have thought that through before having Ms. Shin getting the footage. The Noh family were sneaky bastards, of course if one of them were the murderer, they'd know how to escape CCTV footage.

"You're not done yet?" Gu Won asked.

"You are supposed to knock before you enter my office." Ji Hu commented as she gently moved the chair back and forth with her foot. "But I'm almost done." Ji Hu looked down at her phone as it buzzed against the glass table. "Hello Seok Hoon," 

"I secured Mr. Cha's laptop and took a look, but it was way too clean. It was already wiped clean." Seok Hoon told her. 

"That's not surprising with what I found. Whoever killed Madam Ju also wiped almost twenty minutes of footage from the cameras." Ji Hu said.
