"Oh?" Luo Lixi asked while standing up and added as she bent ahead while putting her hands on the desk, "Ren, how did we disappoint you? Care to explain?"
"It's clear that she is the thief yet... Boss, you didn't do anything! Also, the Soaring Fish has been defeated and it's proven that someone from the company has betrayed us. So what if they have to pay a penalty? Isn't the mole in our own house lurking free?"
Riu Ren said in one breath and at the end, snorted while glancing at Jessy Lauren.
The other person also became agitated by his disrespectful behaviour and shouted, "Don't accuse me! Show proof before pointing your fingers! Ren, you are too much!"
Thus, in front of their Boss, they ended up bickering like mad dogs. Even the quiet Jessy Lauren couldn't endure constant accusations and began to fight back.
"Enough!"
At Luo Lixi's cold shout, both of them stopped and turned to her. She went beside them and glanced at them coldly.
"You two are the oldest ones in this company as well as the best ones. How could you two quarrel so childishly?" Luo Lixi's eyes fell on them and saw Riu Ren scoffing at Jessy Lauren.
For a moment she didn't want to cope with this bullshit anymore. Not to say, she didn't hear anything about her sweetheart for a damn week!
If she could, she would have thrown away everything and rushed back to Ming city.
Her eyes turned to Riu Ren as she folded her arms in front of her chest and asked coldly, "Ren, how more childish can you be? Say, am I so easy for you to act so brazenly?!"
"Boss, you, what do you mean?" Riu Ren stopped glaring at Jessy Lauren and asked with a frown.
"Ren, how long are you going to pretend to be innocent? We already know the culprit. Don't act anymore. I am giving you a last chance." Luo Lixi's demeanour changed sharply as she stared at Riu Ren.
At Luo Lixi's words, both people froze in their places. Jessy Lauren's eyes lit up as she walked ahead and asked excitedly, "Boss, did you find the culprit?"
"Jessy, it's not something you should be happy with. You are one of the oldest and smartest people in this company yet look… When you were in trouble, nobody came to help you." At Luo Lixi's words, Jessy Lauren's happy expression dimmed.
"I… I don't know them. We aren't that close..." Jessy Lauren whispered as she clenched her fists and peeked at Luo Lixi pitifully.
"No one said a single good thing for your sake, not even… your boyfriend! Only working day and night like a zombie isn't good. You should also socialise with your colleagues!" At the heat of the moment, Luo Lixi banged on her desk with her right fist yet got a wincing pain in return...
"Ouch! It hurts!' She grumbled in her mind while rubbing her fist.
Many people knew Jessy Lauren was a workaholic person who likes to work day and night. It's also the reason why her pay was the highest among the same batch of workers Luo Lixi had recruited.
Even she got the most expensive apartment and car from the company as a gift for her exceptional work ethic. Yet working all day long yet not getting along with her colleagues, it's a huge disadvantage for every person.
This time, Jessy Lauren realised how bad it felt when nobody came ahead to help her.
While she was in her thoughts, Luo Lixi's angry voice rang out beside her ears.
"Don't pretend anymore. I am giving you a chance. Confess whatever you can now." Luo Lixi bolted while staring at Riu Ren.
'He, is he…' Jessy Lauren's face changed when she had a guess. At the same time, she was furious.
Riu Ren's 'confusion' vanished bit by bit when he saw the resolute look on Luo Lixi as if she was certain that he was the culprit.
'Didn't he destroy all the evidence? How did she find out?!' Riu Ren thought in scepticism while his eyes darted toward Luo Lixi and then at Jessy Lauren.
"If you want to act dumb, I can only call the police!" With a voice that was full of indignation, she shouted at his face. The man slowly lifted his face and glanced at her.
"Boss, are you perhaps mistaken? If not, I can only say that someone has framed me!" Riu Ren cried out as his face was full of disbelief. As if he was being wronged awfully!
"Hah! You can say this in court. I have already sent the video to the police station today. Just wait for them to come and arrest you!" Luo Lixi said with disappointment. She was appalled by the situation when she found out about Riu Ren's betrayal.
"Is there something wrong with how I treat you all?! Why the heck did you…" However, Luo Lixi couldn't finish her lines because something flashed in front of her eyes.
Both she and Jessy Lauren got momentarily blind as Riu Ren flashed powerful light at them.
In the next moment, he turned around and dashed out of the room. At Riu Ren's sudden move, both Luo Lixi and Jessy Lauren were dumbfounded. Jessy Lauren couldn't believe her eyes and turned to Luo Lixi.
"Boss, just, what happened?" Jessy Lauren's forefinger was pointed at the exit while her lips were twisting nonstop.
But they didn't stay in the room for a long time as Luo Lixi got a phone call.
"Let's get downstairs."
Luo Lixi told Jessy Lauren. The other person nodded and followed Luo Lixi closely.
When they went downstairs, they were met with a huge crowd. In the middle of it, Riu Ren was being pressed down by two policemen.
Luo Lixi walked in front of him and asked coldly, "Speak! Why did you betray us?"
Riu Ren snorted and glared at Jessy Lauren even when he was in that humiliating condition.. Many people were pointing at him and gossiping.
