Monica.” She laughed at the face I made. “I’ve put them on your desk.” “Thanks. What would I do without you,” I called as I made my way to the office. I was surprised to find the in-office phone ringing. “Jessica Carter,” I said when I picked up. “Jessica, this is Quinn. I need you to come to my office for a minute. It’s about the campaign issue.” “Sure. I’ll be there in a sec.” I grabbed the documents that I’d filed against JJ Inc and moved to the office a corridor away from mine. “I’ve got the doc–.” I stopped short when I saw Eva in the room and two security guards in the corner. It took my mind only two seconds to put everything together, but my heart wouldn’t accept it. It couldn’t. I stared at a wide-eyed Eva as I stood in the doorway, heart thumping heavily in my chest. “Quinn, why is she here?” I asked. My voice sounded hoarse. “Come take a look at these, Jess.” My legs felt like lead when I started across the room. This couldn’t be happening. I refused to accept it. On Quinn’s table were pictures, large, blown-up pictures from surveillance cameras. Pictures of Eva in the reception area of JJ Inc. “No,” I whispered, mostly to myself. No, I won’t believe it. “I don’t believe this,” I said firmly. Quinn shook his head and handed me a cell phone. I recognized it immediately. It was Eva’s. “Check the messages.” I flipped through the inbox, vaguely realizing that my hands were trembling. ‘Hurry up. We need the information before Saturday.’ ‘Eva, we need the info now.’ ‘Just read through her files!’ I’d had enough. I leaned back in the chair, totally numb. “Jessie?” I didn’t turn around. I knew it was her. “Jessie, please. You can’t believe this!” I didn’t say a word. “Of course she can,” Quinn cut in smoothly. “There is sufficient evidence to prove that you’re the one who’s been leaking information to JJ Inc. The police are over at the company now. We’ll know the truth sooner or later.” “But it’s not the truth! It’s true that I applied for an attachment here to find out about the Christmas campaign, but I swear, I never said anything to anyone. I didn’t even manage to find out about the campaign. The only thing I found out about was the contract you were talking about the other day! Jess, you have to believe me! God, I love you!” Her words cut into my heart. Fuck, I was hurting. Quinn’s cell phone rang. He nodded twice, then snapped it shut. “JJ Inc.’s owner, Justin Johnson, admitted everything. He probably saw no way out. He also revealed that he got the information from her, his niece, Eva Smith-Johnson.” Quinn turned to Eva. “There will be legal action taken against you, Miss Smith-Johnson, on conspiracy and theft. Since you are still under the legal age-limit–.” “Quinn,” I cut in. “Yes, Jessica?” He sound mildly irritated. “Don’t press charges. I’ll pay for the loss that the company faces. Give her a warning.” I stood up. “I’m taking the rest of the day off. Call |
