"This dress had diamonds missing!"

As soon as Mayra heard that, her heart dropped to her feet as she couldn't help but feel terrified because she was the one responsible for those dresses' protection.

And she thought she did a pretty good job. Then how come it turned out like this?

She even checked everything in the morning and before she was out for lunch.

That was when it hit her. She should have checked them after she was back.

Then she might have avoided this issue.

But the uneasy feeling creeping up in the pits of her stomach kept her occupied.

For a while, all she could hear was the dress was damaged.

By the time she was back from her daze, the whole venue was in uproar and even Esha was alerted because the media already covered the issue.

"Oh god!" She muttered under her breath while beads of sweat dropped from her forehead.

"Who is the one on duty in the room where these special dresses were present?" The head manager asked and all the employees turned their heads to Mayra.

She couldn't help but clench her hands to control herself from falling down when all the people were eyeing her as if she were a thief.

She was responsible for safeguarding them, But that didn't mean she was the one who damaged them, right?

With that, Mayra was about to say something, but Esha beat her to it.

"Let me see the dress, Miss Vidya." Esha's voice was crisp and clear, commanding the whole room with a single sentence.

All of the guests and workers quieted down immediately and were eagerly waiting to see what will Esha say.

As soon as Esha held the dress in her hands and took a look at it, her expression changed from calm to grim, indicating the accusation was true.

"I'm doomed!" Mayra understood that she was out of her luck today and she swallowed the lump in her throat.

But with the media around, she can only hope things will get settled pretty quickly instead of exploding.

However, will it go as she assumed?

And she heard her name from Esha's mouth, "Mayra. Come here."

There is no warmth in it and for a second, Mayra felt her skin had goosebumps all over her hands and neck.

Is Esha also against her?

It was just yesterday she thought Esha and she were on good terms.

But now, everything changed?

With a faint nod, Mayra walked ahead with her trembling legs. But to her surprise, Esha didn't come to a conclusion and asked calmly, although her expressions weren't looking good, Mayra was happy that Esha was giving her a chance to defend herself.

Mayra licked her lips and waited for whatever Esha had in mind and after a painful silence, Esha questioned, "Do you have any idea about this Mayra?"

"What do you mean by that, Miss Rathore?" Mayra asked, unsure of what Esha was trying to say.
