Chapter 309 Like a Clown

When we arrived at the new office, Glenn and the others were buzzing with excitement.

"Wow, this place is amazing! Sure, the furniture's a bit old, but it can be renovated," one of them exclaimed.

Since they were all in design, everyone had some expectations for the office décor. Besides setting up their own workspaces, the young crew started sketching ideas to spruce up the office.

I waved my hand dismissively. "No more than a hundred thousand for the renovations. The company will cover it, but I really can't afford any more than that."

I couldn't pretend to be some wealthy mogul now that I was starting my own business; I had to be careful with expenses.

Lydia quickly shook her head. "No need for that. Fifty grand is plenty."

"Glenn can do the carpentry work, but that means our office setup might be delayed a few days. What do you think?"

I stared at Glenn in disbelief, then turned to Lydia, who was blushing a bit.

Glenn scratched his head. "I did some carpentry for Lydia's family. My dad's a carpenter."

"Oh!" Crystal and I chimed in with knowing smirks, and the rest of the group started to cheer.

Seeing everyone so energized made me feel

me feel a few years younger.

Just then, I got a call from Emma. The internal investigation would start on Saturday, and everyone in the design department had to go back.

"Eva, Mr. Harmon Senior has ordered an investigation. There are a few documents that you need to fill out when you come back. Looks Like the situation isn't good. Let me send you the forms to take a look at."

1 knew this had to be a confidential internal investigation, specifically targeting one department. As the lead designer, I naturally had to go back. If the studio team hadn't already left and if Harmon Group wasn't trying to keep things low-key, they probably would've called everyone back

After saying goodbye to my colleagues, Zack drove me back to Harmon Group. It had only been a few hours since 1 left, but I suddenly felt a bit disoriented, as it something had changed.

When I walked into the conference room, everyone looked at me in surprise.

Leonard immediately stood up. "You're back so soon? I was just about to go pick you up."

I ignored him and sat down next to Emma

"What do you need me to fill out?

forms.

Amiddle-aged man sitting next to Amelia stood up and handed me a few form

"Eve, just fill this out honestly," he said. "We can't recover the surveillance footage, so we need the people involved to provide their accounts. If necessary, your team will also need to undergo our investigation."

"That's not necessary," I replied, picking up a pen to start filling out the forms. "I was present during their time at the company, and so were Harmon Group's personnel. I'll handle my own team's investigation; you don't need to bother with ours." more and sat back downL

Even though we were just a small studio, we weren't to be pushed around. The man frowned slightly but said nothing Amelia suddenly scoffed. "You're acting tough, but you've already been kicked out. They want you back for questioning because you're a suspect. Do you still think you're Mrs. Harmon?

Emma and I exchanged looks, frowning at Amelia. She really was clueless. At this moment, she should be focusing on her pregnancy instead of acting llike a clown

"Amelia, I'm going to the county clerk's office with Leonard next Monday. If you keep pushing me, I won't go. If you're so confident, have Leonard sue for divorce."
