“Who took it?”

I focused my gaze on a few women as I asked.

 

“What are you talking about? None of us is interested in what you’re working on. You’re the one who lost it. You can’t blame us for that,” one of them replied acridly.

“I know one of you did this. You’d better admit it before it’s too late. You know how much this design plan means to me.”

Seeing the unmistakable glee in their eyes, I told myself not to let my emotions take over.

“I really didn’t see it. You can’t just blame us for something we didn’t do.”

“Yeah, you can’t do that. Besides, who knows if you actually finished it? Don’t blame us for your incompetence.”

All of them came together in unison to corner me.
