Paul was gasping for air, panic clearly etched into his features.

"No, it wasn't me, it was all a misunderstanding, I swear!"

I looked at him and sighed softly.

"Paul, with the experience you got, you could bag a director's job somewhere else with no sweat. We've been colleagues. I know you're not the mastermind behind this. Why ruin your life over someone else's scheme?"

Jade was beside me, signaling frantically. I knew she wanted to call the cops, but I shook my head. Calling the police now would make it harder to uncover the truth and might even tip off the real culprit.

"Melanie, you're Mrs. Patterson. Can you promise not to call the police?"

"What do you think?" I wasn't about to make any promises to scum like him.

Defeated, he slumped to the ground.

"I'll confess. Kayla put me up to this. She said if I could bring you down, she'd become Mrs. Patterson, and I'd be the director of the Design Department. She bought some design drafts to use under my name. I refused, so Mack took the fall."
