Chapter 190

Hailey smiled at the two women and greeted them casually, “Hello”

Then her gaze settled on one of them.

The woman, Emily, seemed oddly nervous. She quickly stood up and asked, “Hailey, do you need something from me?”

“Don’t be nervous, Emily,” Hailey said, her tone calm and measured,

Perhaps it was the cool, distant air Hailey naturally exuded, but it seemed to make people uneasy, as though she were hard to approach.

Emily grew more nervous.

Hailey asked, “Did you come into my office yesterday?”

Emily nodded honestly. “Yes, I came in yesterday afternoon to deliver some documents.”

As soon as she said that, Emily nervously added, “Did you lose something?”

“Were you wearing a black short–sleeve shirt yesterday?” Hailey asked without answering directly.

Emily nodded again. “Yes.”

Just then, someone entered the room.

“What are you two talking about?” It was Bailee Strickland, another female colleague from the Translation Department. Bailee was a new intern at the company, sweet and cute, and everyone treated her like the younger sister of the group.

Hailey smiled faintly at Bailee to acknowledge her.

But Bailee seemed to avoid Hailey’s gaze, looking slightly uncomfortable.

Hailey narrowed her eyes and asked, “Emily, has anyone else worn your clothes?”

Emily shook her head, “No, it’s just a short–sleeve shirt. Who would wear it?”

At these words, Bailee’s face grew tense. She silently walked to her seat.

Hailey then asked, “Has anyone else bought the same shirt?”

Bailee’s heart skipped a beat.

Emily hesitated for a few seconds before looking at Bailee and saying, “Bailee, did you buy the same black short–sleeve shirt I have?”
