Mystery

Eternity's pov

After 2 weeks

It's been two weeks since I started working here at Knights Empire Industry.

I must say, I enjoyed my work here. I mean, everyone is so friendly here with me except that arrogant Aaron Knight, owner, and CEO of the Knights empire.

Avery, the receptionist whom I met on the first day, also ended up being my good friend.

So, now I have a really interesting and amazing workplace.

Well, before coming, I always buy coffee.

One for Mrs. Elle Clark and receptionist Avery and, of course, for me, it's become my daily routine

I am wearing a black dress reaching below my thigh and wearing a white jacket above it with black boots. I tied my long brown hair into a ponytail.

I was just getting away from Starbucks, grabbing a packet that contained three cups of coffee.

Before I could make it towards the skyscraper of the Knight Empire,

A man in a black hoodie. His face is covered with a cap of his black hoodie.

He handed me a brown folder and said, "Keep it." He mentioned to me

"What is this?" I asked as I tilted my head quizzically.

But he spoke nothing and rapidly went aside from my way.

I stood there with a small gasp and stared at the folder.

"What was that for?" I whispered and then decided that I should open this folder when I reach the office.

I came to the Skyscraper of the Knight Empire.

Then I put a cup of coffee on Avery's desk. That receptionist ended up being my good friend.

She smiled at me. "Eter, you don't need to," she said.

"Come on, at least this I can do for my good friend," I said to her.

Then I put coffee at Mrs. Elle Clark's, head of my department office. "Thank you, dear," she said kindly to me.

I said to her with a dazed look of bewilderment because I was thinking about the brown folder in my bag which that mysterious hooded man gave me.

"What happened, dear? You seem worried," she whispered to me.

"Nothing just seems like I woke up too early," I said while glancing around the room or refusing to make eye contact with her.

Then I came into my desk. I stared at that folder; I leaned my head over my chair while chewing my lip and opened that folder.

When I opened that folder, my skin gets tingled seeing what was in it

It was confidential information about Knight Empire, my workplace, and also some very personal information about deals that are going to be cracked by our company.

But strange, this is very confidential information, which is mainly only for the boss and owner of the company.

What is this doing to me and, most importantly, who was that mysterious man?

I should tell him everything.

I quickly go towards the elevator with that brown folder.

And go towards floor 24, the CEO's Floor.

When I arrived at the CEO's floor, I quickly went towards his office.

I met his assistant, Ancy, outside his office.

"Hey, Ancy," I said to her.

"Oh Eter." "Hi, how are you girl," she said to me, smiling cheerfully.

"Yeah, can I meet Mr. Knight, please. It's urgent," I asked her while sweat was coming down from my forehead, as I felt tingling cramps in my stomach.

"Um, Eter." I am sorry but Sir is not here. He is in another branch of the company which is in California, "she said to me, smiling in apology."

"Um, okay," "I said in a low whisper while clutching that folder so tightly, I could feel my nails getting dig to do hard.

"Is there anything important you can tell me?" she said

"N... Nothing, okay, see you around," I said to her and comes out from CEO's floor

It was an evening I was working on files given to me

Someone comes and stands before my desk. It is a bodyguard.

"Excuse me, Miss Granger, you are called to Ceo Office," He said to me

"Okay," I said to him, standing up and going towards the elevator

When we arrived at Aaron's office,

I found two people one is a middle-aged man, and another is a girl less aged than that man and the team of lawyers least six lawyers sitting but my boss Aaron Knight he is not here

When they saw me, that middle-aged man stood up and said

"Miss Granger, good you come. I am Coyle. Now can you please tell us where you are in the morning and who you meet." He said to me, his face having a hard expression, which means no funny business, strictly business.

"It would be great if you told me why I am being questioned," I said matter-of-factly.

"Because of a crime investigation," The woman who was younger than him. She is shorter than him and has blonde hair, which is tied in a ponytail.

"According to surveillance and our investigation, you received a package from someone in the morning," and looked at me, and I remembered the package I received in the morning from a mysterious man.

"I did receive something," I said to them.

"Oh," the woman said, looking at me.

"Do you have that document?" Coyle asked me.

"Yes, it is at my desk," I said, shifting back and forth.

After a while, the guard brings that document from my desk.

When they opened it, they found all the important confidential documents about Knight Industries.

"Why would that man give these documents to you or if he has been collecting them for you?" Coyle asked me.

After an hour, they were investigating me, asking questions about the incident.

I was poking my tongue lightly into my cheek and inhaling a long breath. I already told them that I didn't know that hooded man, but they seemed to believe in me.

Finally, the CEO, Aaron Knight, that arrogant jerk, showed up in all business-like crisp wrinkles free Armani suit with two men following behind him.

Coyle, Abby He acknowledged them and looked at us sleepless. His deep crystal blue eyes stopped at me. He looked at me with a straight face. His hair was messed up like he had run his hand through it because of frustration. He looked exhausted, but still, he looked so handsome.

When I looked at him, I noticed his clenched jaw, intense eye contact, furrowed brows, and reddened skin.

"You," he shouted at me with furrowed eyebrows and clenched teeth, making my muscles tense up, making cramps in my stomach.

It seems like I am in great deep trouble.
