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.

"That would be possible if I'm only signing just this document every month. There are six other documents that require signing monthly and they're all as big as this one," I replied.

I hated that situation. I had always been a hardworking individual. I had always given any job I did my all, so to find out that I was initially responsible for such a huge mess was tearing me from the inside.

"Okay, we're going to run a check on every account here and if we find a foreign one, we're going to run further investigations," Julian decided, and I just nodded.
