Deep love: insatiable lover

-Why?

Vanessa looked at Jack in confusion to see if he was joking, but his expression was very serious and somewhat upset. And these annoyances were not coming from the project, something should have happened that she didn’t know about.

Vanessa clenched her fists, because the cooperation with Jack was so important for the Cazalla Group that they had to seize this opportunity, even though they had solved the funding crisis.

-Mr Jack, can you tell me what’s going on? -asked Vanessa seriously.

-Well, Vanessa, I’ll tell you…

Jack looked so serious, as if he was going to tell something very serious, and everyone was silent.

-A third party just provided us with this draft yesterday and after our reviews, we see that this is the most perfect draft. At the time, more than 90% proposed to approve the plan immediately, but I deleted it, because you were in charge of this project and I was not going to replace you with others without having seen your project.

“Why did a third party suddenly appear at this moment?”

The reason why Jack cancelled the cooperation with the Cazalla Group should be related to this third party. Then Vanessa forced herself to calm down and listened to Jack’s next words.

-So, we found out when we read your project.

-What?

-Your project has a 90% similarity with the third party. We have checked that the most similar parts are the most important and essential parts of the plan. But the third party’s draft was more precise than yours.

-It can’t be!

“A 90% similarity? It’s almost the copy of everything, there should be someone who leaked the whole project to the third party so that they could write something similar to the Cazalla Group’s project”.

-Vanessa, I am very sorry. This is the situation and regardless of which party has plagiarised, we will no longer cooperate. I hope you understand our decision.

Vanessa understood Jack and understood the decision of this big company. As much as she was dying of anger, she had to control her emotions and said:

-It’s a pity really. I wish you success in your project.

-Thank you.

The projector was switched off and the whole room fell into stony silence.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

No one spoke, because no one wanted to acknowledge that all their work had been for nothing. They looked at each other and were all depressed and angry.

-Who the hell leaked our project?!

-We need to get this person out and send them to jail! Goddamn it, goddamn it! Our whole team was working days and nights for almost a month to get this project perfect, but it turns out… Fuck!

-Director Vanessa, we need to investigate and make that person pay the price.

-That, Director Vanessa….

Everyone was indignant and kept cursing. Vanessa kept quiet until everyone had let off some steam and watched everyone present in silence.

-I promise to investigate the incident,” Vanessa said and looked at Enrique. Enrique, pull up the surveillance video from yesterday.

The final project was decided yesterday and before that each participant had some messed up data, because each one was in charge of a different part and Vanessa had organised it this way on purpose to avoid leakage.

That person definitely leaked it after the project was completed.

In short, he got the result on the surveillance video.

-It’s Ana Navarro,” Enrique said quietly to Vanessa.

Vanessa frowned, because she knew Ana. She was a girl with very good skills, she was a bit shy, but she was very careful with details and she had been in the Cazalla Group for a while.

“Was it her?”

Vanessa looked at Ana, then Ana turned pale and shivered unconsciously as she detected her gaze or felt guilty.

-Ana, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell? -asked the concerned colleague next to her.

-Nothing,” Ana shook her head and smiled thinly.

-Ana.

At the sound of Vanessa’s voice, Ana stiffened and clenched her fist tightly in secret. Her unusual act made her partner suspicious, but she was more concerned about her health in the first place.

-Ana? Why are you so nervous? You’re…

Suddenly, her colleague fell silent in surprise and looked at Ana in disbelief.

-It was you! -shouted the companion uncontrollably.

-What? Was it Ana who betrayed the company?

-Why? It can’t be!

Nobody could believe it, because Anne was the gentlest and shyest of them all. How could she do such a thing? It was committing a crime!

Vanessa looked coldly at Ana and she was not going to forgive the forgiver who betrayed the company, for whatever reason.

-Enrique, call the police.

Hearing that Vanessa was going to call the police, the whole meeting room fell silent again and everyone looked at Ana with complex feelings, but no one spoke up for her.

They were not saints, let alone would they support Anne, because her actions were irritating.

-Ana, I have always considered you as a friend, but I didn’t expect you to be such a person, you could say your problem out loud and we would help you to solve it. But you… you were also a member of the project who worked so hard for so long to develop a perfect project… Don’t you feel guilty? -asked Ana’s best friend.

She always helped the shy Ana in the company but now her expression was full of disappointment.

-Everyone please leave,” Vanessa ordered and the rest got up silently to leave.

-It’s a shame for everyone, but I owe you a holiday. Enrique, apply for a public fund in finance to invite everyone to dinner and relax a bit.
