" Nobody said anything about you Miss Sophia know anything ...or you know..."
" Mr Daniels stop spouting nonsense, I don't know anything about it."
" It is alright everyone. Mr Daniels please don't suspect or accuse anyone, more so miss Bright no one ask if you know something ..... Wait if you don't know anything about it do you probably know the person who did it ?" Sophia heart almost leap out of her mouth, she did not even know how to answer her.
"..." everyone
" Mi...miss Susan don't defame my character."
" Naah! don't worry I won't, just asking you. isn't it obvious that it is a question or are you guilty? if you are not guilty just ignore me alright?." Everyone quiet down looking at Susan including Jerry.
Jerry was enjoying himself with the way his wife show her claws. He did not know she has everything planned out . ' She must have deliberately shoosh me away claiming she was tired .' He remembered this morning when she begged him to follow him to the office.
" please let me follow you, I promise I will behave myself. "
" I said no! Cant you understand? " Jerry barked angrily at her, he has still not forgive himself for the accident. If he has his way he is going to lock her up in this house and not let her out of his sight for a minute. Susan looked gloom with his response, she want to go out especially today, she want to clear her name herself .
" Am sorry for shouting at you OK! Can you please not go? Stay at home with mum."
" Jerry please am bored at home , just let me out just for today after today , I promise I will stay at home." Susan pleaded.
" Hmm! ok! " Jerry answered in a low voice.
" Thank you so much dear, I promise I will behave myself ."
" You said so yourself. " On getting to the office the three of them ( Jerry, Susan and one of the maid )enter through his private elevator so no one see them. " Baby I need to rest, I can't follow you to the meeting room." Susan said after sitting on the couch.
" I don't even want you there at all, you look tires and pale, just sleep till I comes back. Thank God you have a companion. "
" Just go and stop treating me like a baby. Let me rest." Jerry chuckle and kiss her forehead before leaving for the meeting room since everyone were waiting g for him already.
" just ignore me Miss Sophia. " Susan statement brought Jerry out of his daydreaming.
" Now that we have settle that can we now proceed with the signing?" Asked Sophia.
" Not too fast Miss Bright, I know miss Susan still has something to tell us. " Matt said after keeping silent for a long time.
" Miss Susan can you go straight to the point and stop wasting everyone's time! ." Sophia snapped.
" forgive me everyone. " Susan bow on her seat to everyone.
" Just go ahead miss Susan no need to apologize. " one of the directors said, they are all eager to hear what she need to say since she has proven herself innocent.
" Someone asked me if I know or see anyone of the kidnappers !"
" OK bit you said you don't know them." Said Mr Daniels.
Susan smile and said " Thou I did not see them because at that time when their backer came to where I was keeping , they only instruct them to beat me up ....but some one saw them and ..." She clapped her hands twice , a young man in his late twenty came inside the meeting room with mask covering half of his face.
" Good day everyone " greeted the young man.
The man explained how he saw someone coming out of a building not far from where he was taken picture , he had to follow her since she was using mask but later the lady removed her mask and throw it away before running away. He pass around the pictures he capture on the fateful day.
After listening and seeing the evidence everyone opened their mouth but none of them could be able to close it. They looked at Sophia with so much hatred for harming an innocent soul.
Sophia who was trembling greatly on her seat which for the ground to open and swallow her. She has not be so humiliated like this in her entire life. She covered her face with her palm , she did not want to see the deadly glare everyone was throwing at her including her directors too.
When she can not take it anymore she stood up and day to the door but the body guards stationed inside caught her and hold her in place. She was shouting in the top of her lungs that she was innocent and someone instruct her to do all of it but no one paid her attention.
" Now that the culprit has been captured, I will have to congratulate the CEO TS corporations. We are looking forward in working with you. " Jerry although confused still shook hands with Mr Robin, while other are also looking with confusion.
" If I may ask Mr Robin I don't understand what you are saying, if I remembered correctly we have not sign any contract yet?" Said Jerry .
" I know every of you are confused but don't be, your company as already signed the contract a long time ago. Thanks to Miss Susan. " said Mr Lewis calmly.
All the directors including Jerry and assistant Matt looked at Susan.
" hey ! why are you all looking at me like that? "
" Please explain ma'am !" said one of the directors. Susan raised an eyebrow at the change of their tone. She is amused the way their tone change to ' ma'am ' immediately.
" Anyways , the contract has been signed a long time ago by Mr Lewis and Mr Robin . Some time ago he cleaner assigned to clean the CEO's floor suddenly stopped coming when I went to the HR department I was told she resigned but the lady and I shared a close bonding which prompt me look look into it. "
" I was so mad at the director of HR for not doing his job properly he did not follow the rules of the company in taken care of the company staff even if they resigned. ( They must understand the worker and know the reason they resigned . If it require financial help they must do it without hesitation.)"
" The said lady did not resigned but was forced to do it. The most annoying part was a new cleaner was transferred without proper background checking when he knew how important it is ...." she made a deliberately pause while other eye Mr James suspiciously.
" My hunch was correct when I saw the new cleaner sneaking around, I pretends not to noticed when she stole some documents from the CEO' s office . Thank God I was there to replaced the documents after making new changes to it.
Also this this particular project I noticed after the boss cross checked the contract and signed the following morning the contract was missing but I still has the another copy with me, I made the necessary change lo make it look different from the previous one and I submitted it to the Mr Robins but surprisingly another company submitted the previous one but I have informed they ( Robin and Lewis) about it that was why they helped me so we can catch the culprit. On the day I was kidnapped the file I gave to the cleaner contained the new contract also but not the signed one , when I gave it to her she ran away with it . "
" I have the contract of miss Bright with me here but it surprise us greatly to know that she submitted the exact contract we have already signed already. " said Mr Lewis in annoyance tone, Sophia was sobbing silently at the side she did not know what to do her end has come suddenly. The directors from Bright investment shift uncomfortable in their seat, they can not take this sudden turn of event.
Susan brought out the signed contract and proposal which was passed round also the new contract and proposal of Bright investment was also passed round and all the ones they submitted before. Everyone in the room fell silent not knowing what to say or do at the long run Mr James was demoted for neglecting his duties. He could not protest not after humiliating and accusing the CEO .
The investors were thank for their support , the Bright investment directors ran out with humiliation while Sophia was arrested by the police. The directors were ashamed of themselves for what they did to Susan and apologized.
" You don't have to apologize to me, he deserve it." She pointed to Jerry who was fuming on his seat.
