Theirs ✔️

Chapter 1

Katherine's P.O.V.

I breathed out in annoyance.

"Miss Brocks, please calm down." The department's manager said with a sigh.

"No. I refuse to let this scammer ruin our company. I'm going to Sirs right this instant." Melanie, or if you'd like, Miss Brocks said in her very annoying, high-pitched voice.

I again breathed out.

This is getting boring already.

"Miss Zale, please cooperate." The manager pleaded desperately.

I somehow managed to stop myself from rolling my eyes. Then I glared at Melanie.

"Alright. Let's go to Sirs." I said flatly and crossed my arms.

Melanie smirked in victory and our manager shook his head with a sigh. Yeah, I would too if I was in his place.

This is the fourth time this month Melanie had tried to frame me for something I obviously didn't do. I really don't know why she's doing it. No matter how many people I ask, they say the same thing.

Jealousy.

And I always wondered why jealousy. We've met for the first time here, in the company. So I'm sure there's no need for her to act like that. But then I noticed she acts like that with every pretty or successful female employee.

Thus giving me the impression she's just a spoiled brat who thinks she's better and prettier than everyone around her. And that's why I started to give zero shit about her after her second attempt to frame me.

And on today's menu, I magically appeared in our office after working hours and switched some important documents with fake ones so that today's meeting would be sabotaged.

A believable story. If she had evidence that is. But she didn't. Although she claimed she saw me, I don't think anyone believed her. But okay. We'll let our bosses solve this.

Good thing I have a tape from our security cameras which show it was actually her who mingled with my computer and not me. But I'm not going to say anything. I'll let her think she's in charge for now.

Bless my brain for being smart for once and thinking about the security cameras.

I was having a glaring contest with Melanie when someone ran into our office with a panicked expression.

"W-who is Katherine Zale?" He asked while breathing heavily.

"That would be me. May I ask why you're looking for me?" I said.

"Bosses want to see you regarding today's meeting and it's documents." He answered.

I groaned and closed my eyes.

Just what I needed...

"Perfect. We were about to go to them." Melanie said in her pretentious sweet voice.

"They asked for Miss Zale only. They didn't mention anyone else." The unknown guy said in confusion.

"Don't worry. Just take both of them." Our manager said in exhaustion.

The guy just shrugged his shoulders and nodded.

"Follow me then." He said and exited the office.

I breathed out again and went after him. The rest of my coworkers whispered words of encouragement to me and I nodded my head in appreciation. Aside from Melanie, I have a very good relationship with other employees. Luckily. I don't think I'd be able to handle more than one Melanie.
