Chapter 2 They Are Blind

The employees of Quirk Group had long harbored resentment toward Isabella's antics, particularly those in the CEO's office.

From their perspective, the request to recheck the surveillance footage was basically indicating that they accused her. They had all seen Isabella entering the office with their own eyes. Otherwise, no one would've accused her of the crime. Still, at Alexander's command, the surveillance footage quickly appeared on the big screen.

The footage was fast-forwarded, and on the screen, Isabella clearly entered and stayed for half an hour. It seemed as if she left looking gloomy because she didn't get to meet a certain someone. Everyone present couldn't help but scoff inwardly, thinking Isabella was stubborn and unwilling to listen until she faced a dead end. They were curious to see how she would keep up her stubborn act. Only Hannah was breaking out in a light sweat.

Eventually, her figure appeared on the surveillance footage.

Hannah's pupils contracted slightly as she cautiously stole a glance at Alexander.

When that scene came up, some of those who rolled their eyes at Isabella were taken aback, while others remained completely unfazed.

At that moment, the footage paused.

A layer of frost seemed to have settled on Alexander's face. I can't believe it's true!

Alexander cast a cold, questioning glance at those who had once solemnly sworn that only Isabella had been in and out of his office. "Only Mrs. Quirk entered my office, you say?" However, those people hadn't yet reacted.

The senior assistant spoke up without hesitation. "Mr. Alexander, I don't see an issue. Mrs. Quirk was the only one who went in..."

The others also nodded in agreement.

"They're truly blind." Listening to Isabella's complaints in his mind, Alexander scowled.

Suddenly, a male voice chimed in, "Technically, there were two people who came and went. One was Mrs. Quirk, and the other was Ms. Gates." "Surprisingly, there's one who isn't blind!" Another of Isabella's thoughts entered Alexander's mind.

Everyone turned toward the voice and saw a young man standing at the back. He was a new assistant who had recently been promoted.

Alexander had an excellent memory. He remembered that when Isabella was being accused, that man was out on an errand and was not present.

At that point, it seemed like everyone else had finally caught on. However, upon further reflection, they found the whole situation rather amusing. "What are you blabbering about? Ms. Gates has always been entering and leaving the office frequently."

"You've just arrived, so you might not understand yet, but Ms. Gates is Mr. Alexander's confidant!"
