He knew?!
Grace closed her mouth as Gavin opened his. "What? No! I can do who is for all of this and that is her."
Alejandro calmly shook his head. "Miss has not received any kind of payments apart from her salary from the company. We had it checked."
They did? Was that legal?
"It is in your contract. Due to safety reasons, they can check your financial statements." Clara cut in and told her. She must've seen the quizzical expression on her face.
Was it legal? Grace nodded nonetheless but she did not approve of it. Why was this not mentioned when the contract was being signed? This should have been an over the table conversation.
"Gavin, upon checking your financial statements I found out quite a few thousands you have been taking from my company. Not to mention, you have been paying your rent in all cash to your landlord, who has been quite suspicious of your activities. Great lady, told me about all the diamonds and purchases your wife has recently been enjoying herself with. Would you care to explain that?"
Holy shit.
Gavin has been the one to steal and have been naming it on her? How long had all of this been going on for?!
"I—I have not stolen anything. The suspense account shit is made up. You check with the money truly is—'' Two kncoks came on the door and they looked towards it.
The door opened and two police officers stepped into the room.
"Officers," Alejandro stood up followed by everyone, who was sitting, "this is the man I was talking about."
"Gavin Montreal." The officer moved towards Gavin with handcuffs in his hand. "You are under arrest for theft and.."
Holy shit, Gavin was getting arrested and right in front of her eyes. The officer read him his rights as he tied Gavin's hands behind his back and got him out of the office. Alejandro followed them while talking to the other officer.
Grace watched it all happen and stared at the door even after everyone had walked out. She was still in shock.
"Grace," Clara touched her shoulder. "Why don't you sit with me for a moment."
Still trapped in the shock, Grace sat down, keeping her eyes on Clara. "I am safe, right? I've not done anything and you checked my statements and checked Gavin's statements. He was the one who was the thief so that means I'm safe."
"Yes, he was." She agreed and Grave noticed that. She only agreed to that bit.
"What? What is it?"
Clara smiled but it seemed more sad than happy. " yes, he was the one who had been stealing, but you had been the one who failed to understand it and report it to me."
"H-he what's the wonder who taught me everything. This is my first job out of college. How was was I supposed to know to report him—"
"Grace, you are a finance manager. The suspense account should have kicked off your bells and you should have come to me. There was no suspense account for any of the departments in the agency. Not for the branch but the agency itself. You should have come to me the moment everything started being added into the suspense account, just because the finances were missing."
Clara continued, "they were missing. They had no address of where they came from and where they went. That was suspicious activity and from the looks of air, anyone would say that you were involved in it because you did not raise any alarms."
Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit.
"Yo-you mean.."
Clara nodded.
