"Another day, another stack of paperwork, "...I said, and looked at the papers on my desk
"Sir, the meeting set with sir Johan is expected to start in one hour. Would you like me to inform you when they arrive?" I nodded, hearing what my secretary just said
i looked over to the door. "Was that all?" i asked my secretary "yes sir. i'll be leaving you now." she replied as she walked out of the door.
"As expected, such diligence from my people,"I hummed delighted to see people who work under me be polite, kind, and hard workers
After being distracted for a few minutes, I began to be pulled in my work more and more, and I didn't realize the time. I had been working for nearly an hour
"jenny?" I said in a loud but not screaming voice
"Jenny, why didn't you remind me of the meeting?" I notice jenny wasn't answering or even there, then where was she?
After a few minutes of getting ready, I got out of my office. "Hey you there," I said while looking at one of my employees. "Have you seen my secretary around?" I said to the employee ."I have not, sir it seems she had gone out of the company building." said the employee."Is that so?"
Where could my secretary be? I thought she would answer her phone, but to my surprise, not even a single reply
...****************...
...a few days later...
...****************...
It had been 5 days, and my secretary was yet to be found. What could have happened to her?
Plus, some employees have been complaining about a rotting stench, I signed a few papers and sent someone to find where that stench is coming from. So far, it wasn't discovered where it was coming from.
After signing some paperwork, I hear multiple screaming from the lower part of the building, I got out of my office to check on my workers as found them crying and looking pale as if they saw a dead body
"What happened?" I asked. My eyes widened as I saw a few police officers near the staircase. "we were sent reports about a dead body of a young woman found near the fire exit." I was shocked. Could that have been jenny? before I could say anything, one of the cops had said "Sir we need you to come with us for questioning." I nodded and understood immediately that I would be the first suspect since I was the last one to talk and see her.
...****************...
...two days later...
...****************...
Still, there is no sign of who had done this to my secretary, things has been really hard since people have been spreading rumors about this and even going far as to go in front of the company building and scream "justice for jenny"
To be honest, the police already found out who was the one who had done that, but they could not let anyone uninvolved try and spread the name and identity of this killer, since if the suspect found out they would immediately flee from the country
It has been a headache all these people, outside the company building screaming "justice for jenny"
No one would have guessed it was jenny's very own family who hired and sent those hitmen
To be honest, jenny had already informed me about her fallout with her own family. She said, "It's not a huge deal." It was just about some property her grandparents gave her, which her brother had been eyeing
...●3rd person's pov●...
The police finally found the people involved, and the police had put them under arrest
It wasn't clear how jenny was murdered, but one thing was sure multiple people were involved
In which Harrison was one of the largest suspects. Thus, the case still remains unsolved.
"Till the truth comes alight, what can the police possibly do?"
"Nothing. They can not do anything but sit around." the man said, an eerie smile showed on the man's face
...----------------...
...Back with Harrison...
...----------------...
it was a completely normal day at the company with Harrison, except he now had no secretary, no one to arrange his schedule
Harryson felt completely alone. Usually, his secretary would order his lunch and favourite black coffee.
It was evident from his face that he was feeling numb and empty, having lost one of his most treasured employees that he had treated as family
To him, every employee of his is his very own family member who can not be replaced nor discarded
He stared at the wall for hours, knowing that even jenny's family wasn't mourning on her death he felt extremely guilty of not looking out for his workers, he decided to add more security inside and outside the building.
His employees were puzzled at what was happening, suddenly adding more security and the need to bring identification cards to enter the building.
"Hey Lana, do you happen to know what happened to boss recently? He seems a little paranoid for some reason," an employee from Harrison's company asked
"Well, his secretary was murdered recently,rumour has it that the boss was involved," the employee called Lana replied
"So that is why he suddenly acts different. Why was Miss jenny murdered? and why is the staircase not being used?" The employee asked Lana another question
"To be honest, no one actually knows why. Although there were people arrested and charged, the case is still ongoing since the detectives found more evidence in the scene of the crime or the staircase to be specific near the fire exit. They say there are still more people involved, so that is why we can not access the staircase for the time being... rain, " Lana answered the employee whose names were revealed to be rain
"Is that so?"
"Rain.... you also feel something is wrong, right?"
Lana said to rain
"Yes, it feels as if they're missing something in the case.... something big and..... very.... dangerous, " rain replied
"More like something is holding them back,"Lana said
"I agree. I wonder if they will be able to solve it?"
