Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtStella narrowed her eyes, her words deliberate. "You know about it, and so do I. Are you going to own up to it, or should I share it for everyone to hear? It Jaylene's horror was evident in her expression, shocked that Stella had found the bug, especially since she had planted one in her office as well.
She and Julia often spoke freely in the office, oblivious to potential eavesdroppers. The realization of how much Stella might have heard sent a chill down her spine, her face growing paler.
Just as her resolve was about to crumble, Darcie's voice cut through the tension. "Stella, Jaylene, what's going on?" Jaylene was on the verge of confessing, but upon hearing Darcie's voice, she hesitated. Seeing a way out, she called out, "Mom!" Stella clicked her tongue, the timing couldn't have been more perfect.
Turning around, she flashed a polite smile and greeted Darcie warmly." Hello, Ms. Arnold." Darcie approached, pausing to look around before smiling. "You two are here chatting away without even having eaten?" Stella chimed in, "We weren't chatting about anything much. Just discussing how Jaylene unexpectedly deducted an employee's bonus, so I was curious." Jaylene wanted to protest, but seeing Stella gesturing with her phone, she held her tongue. If her mother found out that Stella had caught her red-handed, she'd surely scold her again.

I don't know how they misunderstood. Ms. Hall thought I was deliberately targeting Wren." Stella chuckled. "Did I misinterpret something?" Jaylene shrunk back.
Darcie glanced at her, her lips pursed. "Do you have any evidence that Jaylene did this? I've always warned her against favoritism in the company. If she targeted a staff member today, I won't tolerate it." Stella remained silent, gripping her phone tightly.
Jaylene looked nervous, while Darcie repeated, "Do you have any evidence? It Stella pursed her lips. "HR hasn't provided any valid evidence for deducting Wren's bonus."
Darcie raised an eyebrow. "So, you also lack evidence to prove Jaylene is targeting her, right?"
Jaylene was taken aback, realizing she was being played. She didn' have any recording at all. This was a setup! Stella remarked casually, "And she has no evidence to prove her innocence. n
Before Darcie could respond, her phone rang. Aubrey Abbott's voice cthrough: "Mrs. Sage, the S-type essential oil has been broken, and Mrs. White's custom perfcannot be made." Darcie's expression darkened. "Who's responsible?" Stella heard Aubrey say, "Sonia Clarkson."
