Next One Is a Babe

Chapter 2017

Every one of them had locked drawers under their working desk. This was an important document, so Cindy had locked it up for safety purposes. However, when she leaned down to open the drawer, she was shocked by what she saw. The drawer had obviously been pried open, as it wasn't fully shut. One part of the lock had fallen onto the ground, while the other part was probably in the drawer.

Cindy let out a gasp before kneeling down. The lock had indeed been broken. She quickly opened the drawer to find that the document was gone. The people around her had heard her gasps, so they hurried over as they didn't want to miss anything. Cindy picked up the damaged lock before looking through her other drawers that hadn't been spoiled.

Once Cindy was certain that she had lost the document, she shut the rest of her drawers and headed over to Serena's office.

Serena was still in the midst of looking through Cindy's drafts, and she frowned a little when she seemed to have spotted a flaw. Cindy knocked on the door lightly before entering in a calm manner. "I'd like to report something to you, Miss Warhol."

Serena assumed that Cindy had come over to ask for her opinions on the draft, so she was rather shocked when she heard what Cindy said. "What is it? Did something happen?"

Cindy placed the drawer's lock on Serena's desk. "Mr. Kaufmann ordered someone to send me a set of documents. I kept this locked in the drawer, but I just found out that my drawer was pried open and that the documents are gone."

Serena froze before her expression hardened. "Have you checked your desk?"

Cindy nodded. "I looked through everything. I even checked the drawers that hadn't been forced open, but the document is nowhere to be found."

"I'll go over to take a look," Serena uttered as she stood up. Both of them happened to bump into Mary, who was walking back from another designer's work area, as they walked out of Serena's office. Mary greeted Serena in a respectful tone. "Miss Warhol."

Serena smiled and nodded in response.

"Is anything the matter, Miss Warhol?" Mary asked casually.

"Oh, it's nothing. I haven't been in the company for a few days, so I don't know if my staff are slacking. I'm going over to take a look," Serena explained.

Based on Serena's answer, Cindy could tell that Serena didn't want others to know about the missing document. It makes sense, I guess. Serena may not have been involved in it, but she probably doesn't want others to find out since this is related to one of her apprentices. So, Cindy stood by the side without saying much.
