Salman's eyes caught a glint of something hidden among the broken glass—a USB drive. His pulse quickened. This small device could hold the key to solving the mystery of the missing project. Carefully, he picked it up and held it out for Taehyung to see.
Taehyung, who had been intensely watching every move Salman made, immediately realized what it was.
"Salman," Taehyung's voice was sharp, "is that a USB drive?"
"Yeah," Salman confirmed, his eyes narrowing in thought. "It could've been dropped by the thief. This might be our only lead."
Taehyung nodded, but his expression remained tense. "This USB won't be enough. We need more to catch whoever did this."
Salman understood the concern and suggested, "Have you checked the CCTV footage? Maybe there's something useful there."
Taehyung let out a frustrated sigh. "I checked as soon as I saw the mess. But whoever did this was way ahead of us. They erased the footage and destroyed the camera in my office."
Salman's tension grew. "Maybe it's time to call the cops?"
Taehyung hesitated, running a hand through his hair before answering. "I don't think that's a good idea, Salman. Involving the police could blow this up in the media. And if word about the project gets out, it'll cause even more problems."
Salman nodded, getting his point. "You're right. Then we need to move fast. The longer we wait, the bigger the risk to our project."
Taehyung's jaw clenched as he agreed. "Exactly."
Sana's POV
Sana paced nervously in Salman's office, biting her lip. She knew something serious had happened in the CEO's office—Salman's urgent departure made that clear. But all she could do now was wait.
The sound of the door opening caught her attention. Her heart eased a little when she saw Salman walk in, just as she expected.
"Is everything okay, Salman?" she asked, her voice laced with concern.
Salman met her worried gaze with a calm smile. "Princess, don't stress. We've got this under control. Everything's going to be fine."
Sana understood the reassurance behind his words and let out a small, comforting smile, wanting to show him she believed in his ability to handle it.
Then Salman raised an eyebrow, noticing her dress. "You didn't get any new clothes?"
She glanced down at the outfit she'd been wearing all day and shook her head. "No, not yet."
"Go ahead, you've earned a break," Salman spoke with a light chuckle.
Nodding, she stood from the couch and headed out to buy something new, Because her clothes got ruined earlier. She found a boutique nearby, the display window catching her eye with its vibrant colors.
