Leonard used to be this bright, positive guy-full of energy and always the center of attention. Wherever he went, he brought this the that was hard to ignore.

But now...

I pulled out the documents and said, "Emma will handle this project, and I'll help with the design." Jill looked like she wanted to say something but saw Emma and decided to stay quiet.

Also, since beleving soon, it'd be important i Jill accepted this, and we finished the discussion and signed the contract.

Back at the office, I started looking into the data loss it turned out that many computers in the design department had a virus. The vires started from computer and spread through the internal network. Since my computer had the most important tiles, the damage was significant Losing other tes is one thing, but we couldn't afford to delay the project with BrightweGroup I went to the security department to check the surveillance footage.

The staff told me, "Sorry, Ms. Green, but we lost a lot of footage during a system upgrade." "Upgrade? Why was it done at night?" I asked, already suspecting something They toldthat Lily had cin with others during that tand claimed it was Lean's desince everyone knew about Lilly and Leonard's relationship, no one thought much of it and let the upgrade happen.

I watched the video. I was from a low angle on the hallway windowsill. You could see a person entering the om office that night. The person seemed like a man based on his height and build. But the angle was too low to clearly see his face. James kept apologizing, saying he new brought his laptop into the office and wasn't responsible for the virus. Isighed, "only the laptop had been in the office, we might have seen who it was." Jatus nodded nervously, watchingclosely.
