1 was going out of my mind. How did that happen! For the past four months, money had been disappearing. The thing was, the amount was almost insignificant, but it was almost the same every single time. When an investigation was launched, it all came back to me. I was still in utter shock.

"Emily, we're not accusing you of anything, okay? We're just trying to understand what's going on," Julian told me. Since I was his wife, he refused to hold any official investigation. I was currently sitting in front of him and Mr. Andrews, my boss.

"I genuinely don't know. I know I sign the salaries document before Mr. Andrews, but that doesn't mean that I look at each account every single time. If I did, I would want an entire week to check every account, 1 defended myself.

"It's true. It's not logical to check them every single time, but when a constant amount gets missing every month, then you should check," Mr. Andrews replied.
