James looked at her amusingly and said, "My lawyer called , the lawsuit is postponed already.. What way did you use??"
Jennie made a shocked expression on her face after which she laughed .
She took her phone out and showed the CCTV footage of the cafe to him. He keenly watched it and finally understood what she did.
"After that I just threatened all lawyers to not take the case otherwise..., nevermind, You tell me ..did you find out the culprit??"
"I searched for the CCTV footage of the night before when it was not stolen, the footage was edited and removed . I retrieved it and three people are in suspicious range . "
Jennie looked at the photos of the three people. One was Mary Park , a managing director in the Location department of the company. Her stealing the script didn't sound easy because the people from the Location department did not know about the script yet because it was not announced in the Company.
Other one was a director of photography, he was also less suspicious because of the same reason. Last but not the least, was Liam Winters. He was script co-ordinator of the script department, thus making him most suspicious. He was also the one who was giving the presentation today, let's not forget his suggestion to solve the situation. Now, it made even more sense why he said that.
Both James and Jennie knew the culprit now.
"But do you have the evidence ??"asked Jennie .
"Yeah, I viewed their call record history but guess what .. no suspicious call was sent or received in any of the phones. Which only meant that the deal was done face to face or either through a burner phone. I asked my secretary to search for his whereabouts these days .. "
"And??"
"And here's what I found ." He gave her another sheet of photos, it had low quality pic which seemed like it was taken by a CCTV camera. In the picture, Liam was giving the script to a female . Jennie looked at it more closely before exclaiming, "Gosh! Isn't she the rookie ...ummm ..what's her name ..."
"Ella Jane , she is having an affair with the CEO of BG Entertainment, Jason Smith. He has a wife yet he isso shameless to break her trust and do these things behind her back."
Jennie smiled and said , " I guess either he couldn't satisfy her or she couldn't satisfy him otherwise what's the reason ... "
They were just talking when suddenly James' assistant barged into the office without even knocking and he looked at Jennie in shock.
"Goddess, How could you do this ?? You just started your career, we didn't even get enough of your songs ..Uwuu"
Jennie looked at him in surprise when she finally understood what he was trying to say. James looked at both of them questioningly as his secretary never once came into his office without knocking , so something big might have happened.
Sensing his boss' gaze upon him , he shifted the tablet to to him on which a tabloid was open. It had written in bold letters " The goddess Jennie left singing career suddenly which caused an uproar on social media"
Another website had written ," What was the reason behind Goddess Jennie leaving the singing industry?? Did she get bullied or scammed ?? Or there was an even bigger reason? "
Jennie looked at them being so creative with there titles and chuckled. The world always had one way or other to satisfy their greed. They didn't even know the real reason because she never told anyone but here they were already assuming that she was a weak little girl getting bullied .
James looked at her with curiosity, same as his assistant was looking just a few moments ago. Both of them were looking at her , as if asking for reason.
Jennie sighed in defeat as she said, " I had the retirement letter ages ago , already kept in my bag . I was just waiting for the right moment to give it . Although I like singing , but it is just a stepping stone in my path which was now going to block it , so I removed it before the harm was done . My life's mission starts from today. I was just doing it to maintain a kind and sweet girl image so that I can strengthen myself for the challenges which are about to come . I also know that the future of BG Entertainment is now doomed. So , it's better to leave it . "
She looked at James as she said ," It is better to not be on your hit list.. "
Both the people who listened to her explanation were a little shocked. They did not know that she had an even bigger motto to live now. The difference was that one was more shocked while other kind of expected it but still he was shocked.
His secretary left because it was not good for him to stay there anymore .
"Are you sure ? Because once you get out , it would be tough to get in again . It might also affect your health .." asked James although he knew that the decision wasn't abrupt but still he could not help but make sure that she was sure or not otherwise it would harm her which he did not want.
Jennie stared into his deep brown eyes that were creating waves in her heart. It was first time when someone doubted her decision or you could say "cared for her , so wanted to make sure" . Her whole life until now she was always giving orders to others who never once objected her decision. Although, she should be offended but she wasn't. Instead she felt happy to have someone check over her and care for her . She stood up from her chair and went to his chair and hugged him.
James was shocked due to her sudden action but he also relaxed afterwards because he quite understood her reason for hugging him. He also felt that they had a connection that made them understand each other without even saying . Then, he also hugged her back.
