I glance at the door as she walks in. I gesture for her to grab a chair and sit beside me. My heart already racing with anticipation.
She sits beside me and I catch a scent of her perfume, I feel this intense urge to touch her neck and smell her.
I shake away the weird thoughts, I have much more bigger problems to deal with right now. Our designs got stolen, I need to focus on that.
"I've talked to the lawyer and we just need to collect enough evidence." I say, glancing at her and trying my best to not let my mind go somewhere it shouldn't.
"What evidences do we need?" She looks at me, resting her elbows on my desk.
"We have that folder that contains all of the files and documents, we have the evidence of emailing the designs to Carlos Martin...that's it.." I know it's not enough, there's no actual and solid evidence.
"Would it be enough?" She raises an eyebrow, concern and worry completely visible on her face.
I can't let her get so worried about it. I know the situation is very grave and serious but I don't like seeing her like that.
"We'll give them to the legal team and they'll decide, but don't worry, okay?"
She nods and looks away, she's obviously going to worry and overthink.
"Rose..?" I say her name, I'm slowly getting more and more used to saying her name.
She looks at me. "We need find out who stole it.." I say.
"That company...Odette jewellers.." she crosses her eyebrows as if confused. "They stole it.."
"Yes they did but they didn't directly did it. Someone helped them." I say. "Someone who is an insider..."
Her expression changes. "Oh, God..." she looks at me. "Devin...someone from here did it..."
"Yeah..." I sigh. "We need to find out who did it."
"But Devin...there are tons of people who work here." She is getting more worried. "How the hell are we going to find that specific person?"
"I've already figured that out, we do have thousands of people working here but not everyone had the access to the designs. The printouts were kept in my drawer but the designs were also saved in both of our computers and also the whole designing department. You are the leader of that department, are you suspicious of anyone who could be that one specific person?"
She thinks for a moment. "I..I don't know." She sighs. "I completely trust my team, I don't think I am suspicious of anyone, it could be anyone."
I nod, she's right. It could really be anyone. I remember something and open my computer. "Wait, I asked for the surveillance footage, maybe we can find something or someone from there."
