Chapter 259 - Footage

Jade brought out her personal flash drive which she had copied the PowerPoint presentation into and had taken home.

She opened the file and it was intact. There was nothing wrong with it. She opened the flash which she had used for the presentation and indeed that video inside it. Her face contorted into a deep frown. The gloomy look on her face was enough to murder anyone right now.

"Jade you're back? How did it go?" Sara inquisitively asked the moment she saw Jade. She had walked out of the office and hadn't been around when Jade returned.

Jade was lost in thought, so much that she didn't hear her.

Sara looked at what had gotten her attention when she didn't get a response. She gasped when she saw the video that was paused on the screen. She covered her mouth and looked around to see if she had drawn any unwanted attention to them. She snatched the mouse away from Jade's hold and closed the tab, making Jade to snap her head towards her, it was only now that she realized someone was standing close to her.

"What is wrong you? Why are you watching that here?" Sara mouth yelled at her. She didn't expect Jade to watch such kind of videos at work.....she didn't expect her to watch such things at all.

"It's not what you think." Jade told her disinterestedly, but the girl gave her a skeptical gaze. Wasn't that what all cuprits say when they were caught red handed?

Jade sighed and turned away. Right now she was really angry and the last thing she needed was someone giving her a dirty look or wanting her to give some sort of explanation.

Sara sighed resignatedly when she noticed the nonchalant gaze Jade had just shot her.

"Look babe I'm not judging" She tried to explain.

"There's no need. I get it" Jade dismissively said as she swivelled around with her seat, her eyes looking out for something.

"There are no camera's in this office are they?" Jade suddenly asked, as she continued to look around.

Sara narrowed her eyes at her, was she asking because of the xxx video she had caught her watching. But she didn't ask, rather she answered, "There are"

Jade suddenly stopped swivelling around and looked at Sara, "There are?" She asked in surprise. She had not paid attention to the camera's in the office, because she hadn't had any reason to.

"Yes" Sara replied suspiciously.

Jade abruptly stood up to her feet and started hurrying towards Simon's office. She had a feeling going with the camera was going to be a wide goose chase but it was worth a try. If Stephanie had really wanted to tarnish her image she would have been meticulous enough to avoid the camera's. But she still had to try. She had three and a half hour. When she had boldly declared to provide the evidence, she really had nothing in mind.

"Any lead yet?" Simon curiously asked the moment she walked into his office. Jade had informed him she knew who was behind but she was yet to disclose the person's identity.

"No sir, but do you think you can give authorization to check the CCTV's" Jade asked. She was sure Simon could help her get authorization to look the CCTV footage.

"I was just going through that already. Come take a look" Simon said. He had already taken it upon himself to look at the footage. What happened at the conference room had not only affected Jade, but also him and the entire team. And if someone had naturally tried to sabotage one of his team members he'd love to personally expose that crazy person.

"Really?" Jade eyes lit up as she approached his desk.

"Yeah" He turned his laptop towards her so she could have a clear view.

"Sir do you think I can get a copy of this" Jade requested.

"Sure" Simon willing agreed and brought out a flash from his desk and made a quick copy for her.

"Thank you sir" She said appreciatively, as she hurried towards the door. She had limited time to find the proofs to prove that idiot was the one behind this. She had not wasted her time to go confront that be useless bitch. When she was done finding the right evidence she'd pay a visit.

"Jade" Simon called her. Jade turned to look at him.

"Don't fret, you'll be fine. I assure you" Simon told her with an assuring smile. He could tell she wasn't as calm as her exterior revealed, but she doing a good job hiding it. Another reason to like her.

"Thank you sir" Jade said and rushed back to her desk. She caught sight of Sara and Julius staring at her as she walked towards the desk. She guessed Julius must have told Sara already, hence the look they were shooting at her right now. She didn't need to ask how Julius knew. This was a corporation filled with different people, news were meant to spread.

"Jade is it true? Was that why you were looking at that stuff?" Sara asked the moment Jade approached the desk.

"Something like that" She nonchalantly replied.

"But that's impossible, I watched you make that PowerPoint yesterday before leaving. What could have happened?" Sara asked in unbelief. "I'm sorry for earlier" She quickly apologized when she remembered how she had looked at Jade minutes ago.

"It's okay. I have to look at the footage." Jade said as she slot the drive into the system.

"Can I help? Two eyes are better than one" Sara offered.

"Make that three" Julius volunteered his eyes. Jade was moved by their kind gesture.

She looked at the both of them and said, "Thanks but you have work right? You don't want to get scolded for lazing about"

"This is work and I'm sure Simon won't mind. This affects the whole team, so we can always help" Julius told her. Jade shot them appreciative smiles before turning towards the monitor and they all started going through the camera footage.

After several minutes of looking at the footage, they all had disappointed looks on their faces, because they couldn't find anything useful in it.

"Whoever did this was smart enough to avoid the camera's" Julius said.

"So what do we do?" Sara asked in a worried voice.

"I don't know" Jade hissed out frustratedly.

"Did you find anything?" Jade and co turned to find their boss, Simon standing behind them.

"No sir" They echoed. Simon was about to say something else when one of his team members approached him.

"Sir one of the security men brought something, they said that saw it outside our office door last night, during their patrol" The young said.

"What is it?" Simon asked.

"A flash"
