“He’s thorough, if nothing else,” Devyn said, thinking about everything that Lucas was laying at her feet. “At least this explains Boston.”
“I almost died there,” she said with a solemn nod, making his lips twitch.
“They’re using your access code and forged your signature for a company phone,” Devyn said, wondering why Lucas was going through so much trouble setting her up when it wouldn’t take much to prove that she was innocent.
“They also accused me of sleeping with my last boss,” Andi pointed out.
“I did see that,” he murmured, watching as her face shifted into an adorable frown.
“I have to question the logistics of what the report said because I’m not sure how Mrs. Grady would have been able to bend me over her desk with her bad hip and-”
“Miss Dawson,” Devyn said, cutting her off before she could make this any more disturbing.
“You have to admit, it was a smart move to blame me. It’s an easy setup making people believe that I had something to do with this. I came in at the right time to clean this mess up and keep you distracted, especially since the files were already missing before I was hired, which makes me believe that the angle that Lucas was going for was that I came in after the fact to clean up the mess for a partner, perhaps a boss. I mean, it makes sense. I come in, get a job with the CEO of the company, which gives me direct access to all the files that were affected by this scheme and I’m guessing, ties me directly to our mysterious James Jamerson.”
“Which, of course, doesn’t make any sense since I wasn’t supposed to interview with you. I was interviewing for an entry-level position with marketing. Lucas did a sloppy job considering that everything in this file could be easily disproved. He also didn’t mention the embezzlement, which confirms my suspicions that he isn’t sure that we know about it and just in case we didn’t, he was careful not to tie me to it, knowing that it would give away too much. He also knows about us, which leads me to believe that this was only meant to keep you distracted to buy them some time,” Andi announced with a heartfelt sigh as she got to her feet, “the question is why did he need you distracted.”
“Also, I’m pretty sure that he had someone break into the room while we were gone and stole my iPad, which means as soon as he figures out all of my passwords, he’s going to know exactly what we know. You should probably look into that,” Andi said as she stepped away and gestured to the bodywash.
At his questioning look, she said, “I think better when my needs are being met,” making him bite back a sigh as he grabbed the small bottle and resigned himself to the long night ahead.
