Aoife

After checking around Mr. Sy's statement, I looked around the cubicle of each suspects. I looked around to find a clues then I notice a picture of one of the suspects and some documents which is a complete mess. I checked those and looks like I'm on the right track. I get those pictures and documents and keep it for future references then I go back to the CEO's office.

Pagdating ko doon nandun na din ang apat na suspects. Tinanguan ako ni Inspector at kinausap ko din saglit si Geovanni at tumango naman sya. Binaling ko agad ang mga tingin ko sa kanila.

"So ano nga ulit nangyari Mr. Sy?

"Kahapon mga 3pm inutusan ko ang sekretarya ko para e deposit ang pera ng kompanya sa bangko na mahigit na isang milyon. Tapos kagabi noong nag overtime ako dun ko napagtanto na wala na pala ang pera."

"Totoo ba yun Ms. Dy?"

Nagulat ata ang sekretarya sa tanong ko tiningnan ko naman si Mr. Sy na nakatingin sa kanyang Sekretarya. I smirk.

"Opo totoo po yun!"

"Gaano kana katagal nagtratrabaho dito Ms. Dy?"

"Ahm 3 years na po."

"Gaano mo kakilala ang CEO?"

"What's with that question, Ms. Aoife?"

"It's part of the investigation Mr. Sy. You should all cooperate."

Wala naman syang nagawa kaya bumuntong hininga na lamang sya.

"So back to the question Ms. Dy gaano mo kakilala ang CEO?"

"Ahm....!"

Nakita ko syang nanginginig. Tama talaga hinala ko.

"Ahm... Medyo strict po syang boss pero mabait naman po sya.!"

"Okay. The three of you, aalisin ko na kayo sa listahan ng mga suspects but I want you to answer this 1 question. How long did you know Ms. Dy and the CEO? You first Ms. Gatchalian."

"Well I've known Ms. Dy since I've worked here 5 months ago same as the CEO. Ms. Dy is a very hard working secretary to Mr. Sy. She is very dedicated to her worked. Ni minsan hindi ko syang nakita na nagrereklamo sa pinapagawa sa kanya ni Mr. Sy. Si Mr. Sy naman, he is a very strict but an understanding boss and a good listener. Nasasabihan namin sya ng mga problema namin especially her secretary. Sya ang madalas nabibigyan ng payo ni Sir."

"How about you Ms. Vida?"

"Well I don't know much just the two of them are close and very hard-working. I just recently worked here, 2 weeks ago so yun lang muna ang masasabi ko.!"

"Okay, and you Ms. Pineda?"

"Kahapon pa lang ako nag start dito so wala pa po akong alam.!"

"Okay. Thanks for your cooperation. Now let's reveal the culprit behind this case. No other than you. The CEO itself!"

"Wait... What me? Hahahahaha. This is not the right time to joke around Aoife."

"Sad to say I'm not joking. You are all behind this. Right from the start I already knew it was you. Napaka impossible namang marami kang pagbibigyan ng bank accounts mo. Right from that statement, your very suspicious and I found this on your secretary's cubicle."

Nagulat ang secretary at si Mr. Sy.

"You threatened your secretary para di ka nya hiwalayan diba? You two had a relationship. Pinalabas mo na sya ang nagnakaw ng pera ng kompanya para gamitin laban sa kanya at kaya mo ninakaw ang pera para maisakatuparan mo ang plano mong pabagsakin ang step brother mo. Alam mong malapit kana palitan ng step brother mo sa pagiging CEO dahil di ikaw ang tunay na anak ng mga Sy."
