Chapter 114 Audrey
I stayed late at the office that night, determined to make up for lost time after the luna moth incident.
The design department was eerily quiet as 1 worked, the only sounds the soft scratching of the stylus against my tablet and my foot tapping on the tile floor.
I bit my tongue as I worked, my focus entirely on the new task at hand. With the luna moth shattered and the design due by Friday, I needed to work quickly, so, despite my somewhat... lacking skills when it came to drawing anything realistic, I spent the evening drawing mockups of a 3D printed luna moth.
Sighing. I leaned back on my stool and held my tablet up to admire my work.
The drawing wasn't nearly as beautiful as the original, but it would be good enough for what I needed; the shape was right, and with enough paint and glitter, I could have a fairly realistic luna moth prepared by morning.
I tapped the screen a few times and sent the design to the 3D printer, and then I waited.
As the sound of the printer working filled the quiet space, I ran my hands over my tired face and squeezed my eyes shut. Memories of this morning floated through my mind-the luna moth's broken wings. Leo's angry expression, Linda's conveniently empty chair...
It had been hours since it had all happened, and I was certain now that Linda had something to do with the "accident. Her sadden absence was too perfectly-timed. I wasn't sure how she had done it, but she must have slipped in while I was at lunch and destroyed the luna moth.
I wanted to tell Leo of my suspicions, but of course he wouldn't listen-and if Linda had already managed to tamper with the CCTV footage once before, then she could do it again. Perhaps she had ties with a security guard who could cut the footage for her. Perhaps her rich daddy was watching over her.
Either way, I was stuck taking the fall. There was nothing I could do about it; especially not now that I was on 'probation.
"One more strike, and I'll have to suspend you," Leo had said.
Three strikes, and I was out. Even if none of it had been my fault.
Finally, as the clock ticked past nine PM, the 3D printer buzzed. I walked over and pulled my plastic luna moth out, cringing at the rough shape, but it was good enough for now.
I decided to call it a night after that, figuring I could paint it in the morning. I gathered my things with a sigh, double- checked that everything was in order, and moved to lock up the department.
But then I stopped in the doorway, and on a whim, I slipped out my phone and took pictures of the space, just in case any other 'accidents' happened overnight. That way, if something did happen and it got pinned on me again, I could have some form of proof to show.
