A Love Trap

After all, they didn't have close friendships with the others in the company. Ashley and Amaia didn't know what kind of people they were and whether they would take Ashley's design drawing.

Sylvia could be seen as an example. She often bickered with Ashley and Amaia over the smallest things. It was more likely that she took Ashley's design drawing. However, they had no evidence to present and prove their claim.

At that moment, people in the design department were all present and prepared for the competition. As they went to the conference room, they heard a fraction of the conversation between Ashley and Amaia, however, no one knew what happened.

Moreover, all their attention was spent on the competition. They had no interest in Ashley and Amaia's exchange.

Amaia moved Ashley aside and said, "Who was the last one to leave after work last night? Did any of you see someone approach Ashley's desk yesterday?"

"What's wrong? Did something happen?" Someone asked.

Their colleagues simultaneously stared inquisitively.

"Ashley's design drawing disappeared. She placed it in her drawer yesterday. Is there anyone who has seen her design drawing?" explained Amaia.

"Huh? Why would it disappear? The competition will start soon. What will she submit?"

"No. We left the company after work, and didn't see anyone who went to her desk."

"I haven't seen it."

"We don't know either."

Several people shook their heads and confirmed they didn't know anything about it.

Amaia and Ashley looked around and paid attention to their facial expressions. It seemed that they were telling the truth. They ran into a dead end and didn't know how to proceed from there.
