Serena looked a little surprised, and Graham felt awkward explaining himself. “I saw your file when you started working with us, so I know some things. But your ex–husband doesn’t seem like a good guy. You should stop thinking about him.”

Serena nodded, her eyes crinkling as she smiled, “People have to move forward. I’m not thinking about him anymore.”

Graham suddenly felt embarrassed and didn’t say anything else. He just drove Serena back to the company.

When Serena and Graham walked into the office, they could immediately tell something was wrong in the design department. The atmosphere was tense and uncomfortable.

Serena had been fitting in well with the team lately, so she wasn’t used to this kind of tension. She stood there feeling confused when Graham strode over with a frown. “What’s going on here?” he asked.

Ashley immediately stood up and shot Serena a sideways glance before speaking, “Our proposal that we just finished yesterday got leaked. The competitor company already put out their official announcement, and it’s word for word identical to what we wrote.”

Graham’s face darkened when he heard this. The whole team had worked overtime for two weeks straight to put that proposal together, and now their rival had just stolen it. Forget about the financial loss–everyone’s two weeks of hard work had just gone down the drain.

Serena stood next to Graham and noticed Ashley kept glancing in her direction. She got a bad feeling about where this was heading.

Sure enough, Ashley stepped forward and pointed right at her. “Everyone here put their blood, sweat, and tears into this proposal, but Serena joined us later and wasn’t part of the original team.

“She’s the most suspicious person here. She’s the one who could have stolen our work and sold it to the competition.”

Ashley’s finger was pointed straight at Serena, and her confident tone made several people in the room start to believe her accusations.

Graham’s face darkened. “You can’t just throw around accusations like that without proof. Serena has no reason to do something like this.”

Serena had already suspected Ashley might come after her, but she hadn’t done anything wrong. But she seemed to catch some confident lock in Ashley’s eyes, like she was holding all the cards.

“Well, if we just check Serena’s computer, we’ll know for sure, won’t we?” Ashley shot back, clearly annoyed.

She pointed an accusatory finger at Graham. “We’ve all been working with you for years, Graham. Serena’s obviously the most suspicious one here. Why do you always defend her?”

That one comment instantly put both Graham and Serena in the hot seat. Everyone suddenly remembered they’d just walked in together from outside.

Serena couldn’t let Graham get dragged into this. This whole mess had nothing to do with him.

“Serena, open up your computer and let us check it. If there’s nothing there, I’ll apologize,” Ashley pressed, her tone aggressive and demanding.

Serena frowned as she glanced at her computer, She had a gut feeling there might actually be something on there, something that shouldn’t be. Otherwise, Ashley wouldn’t be pushing this hard. If everyone saw it, she’d never be able to clear her name.
