Thawing the CEO's Heart

Chapter 29: Cloak and Dagger

As the security team hurriedly departed to investigate, Meena couldn't shake off the feeling of unease. She turned to Aoom, her eyes reflecting a mix of concern and curiosity. "What do you think this means, Aoom? Who could be behind this?"

Aoom's jaw tightened as she contemplated the situation. "I'm not sure, Meena, but whoever it is, they're trying to send a message." She paused, her mind racing with possibilities. "It could be someone with a vendetta against me or the company, or perhaps it's connected to Kit's recent behavior."

Meena nodded slowly, absorbing Aoom's words. "Do you think Kit is capable of something like this?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.

Aoom's expression darkened at the mention of Kit. "Given his recent actions, I wouldn't put it past him," she replied tersely. "But we can't jump to conclusions until we have more information."

Just then, Ice entered the office, her face a mixture of concern and determination. "Aoom, Meena, I've informed the security team to review the surveillance footage and track down anyone who entered the office last night," she said briskly. "We'll get to the bottom of this."

Aoom nodded in approval, her gaze steely. "Good. Keep me updated on any developments," she instructed, her tone authoritative.

Meena watched as Aoom and Ice exchanged a silent understanding, their shared commitment to protecting the company evident in their determined expressions. Despite the looming threat, she felt a sense of reassurance knowing that they were all in this together.

As they awaited updates from the security team, tension hung thick in the air of Aoom's office. Meena couldn't shake off the feeling of vulnerability, knowing that someone had breached the supposedly secure confines of their workplace.

Suddenly, the intercom buzzed, signaling the arrival of Aoom's assistant with a report from the security team. Aoom swiftly pressed the button to respond, her voice firm. "Send them in."

The door swung open, revealing two members of the security team, their expressions grave. The first one spoke up, his voice tense with urgency. "Ms. Chaiyawat, we've reviewed the surveillance footage, and we've identified the individual who entered your office last night."

Aoom's eyes narrowed as she leaned forward, her posture rigid with anticipation. "Who was it?" she demanded, her voice cold and commanding.

The second security officer stepped forward, holding a photograph. "It was Kit, Ms. Chaiyawat. He was captured on camera entering your office shortly before the box was discovered."

Meena's heart sank at the revelation, a wave of anger and betrayal washing over her. She turned to Aoom, her voice trembling with emotion. "I knew it! He's been targeting us all along," she exclaimed, her fists clenched in frustration.

Aoom's expression darkened with rage, her jaw clenched in fury. "This is unacceptable," she declared, her voice dripping with venom. "Kit has crossed a line, and he will pay dearly for his actions."

Ice, who had been silently observing, spoke up with a determined glint in her eyes. "We need to take immediate action. We can't let him get away with this."

Aoom nodded in agreement, her mind already racing with plans for retribution. "Agreed. Contact our legal team. We're pressing charges against Kit for trespassing and harassment," she instructed, her tone unwavering.

In the midst of the chaos, Aoom's phone rang, interrupting the tense atmosphere in her office. She glanced at the caller ID and recognized the number of her legal advisor.

"Excuse me," Aoom murmured, gesturing for Meena and Ice to give her a moment of privacy as she answered the call. "This is Aoom."

After a brief exchange, Aoom's expression shifted from anger to grim determination. When she ended the call, she turned back to her colleagues with a steely resolve.
