Of course, there was so much more about Keegan that Stella had learned from. For instance, she imitated his calm andauthoritative demeanor to assert dominance.
Chris was clearly intimidated by her. His face turned green, as he bit his lips. "You're right, Ms. Hall. I'm sorry for being too soft-hearted."
Darcie watched Stella and the others leave in the police car. She thought about the situation and turned to Wenham." Honey,Aubrey called and said something came up at the company. | have to attend to it."
Wenham nodded. "I'll have the driver take you."
"It's okay. | can take a cab."

The police inspected the store and found the same surveillance footage Stella had seen earlier. They could not identify who hadentered the office or rifled through Maggie's files. The other cameras captured several people going upstairs during that time.However, it coincided with lunch break, and everyone had an alibi.
However, the police were not easily fooled. After crossreferencing some information, they questioned each person separatelyand discovered that one individual was lying. It was the company’s financial assistant.
She claimed to have picked up her lunch despite having someone from the office to help her. She quickly confessed to takingphotos of Maggie's design drafts when presented with multiple pieces of evidence.
She insisted that she only did it as a favor for Barbara and did not know what she was photographing. She also claimedignorance about its extensive impact on the company, expressing deep remorse.
She admitted to it too easily. It was almost as if she had been prepared in advance. There was no concrete evidence to directlylink her to the act.
‘If | was guilty, | would have vehemently denied it. Yet, she chose to confess,’ Stella thought but said nothing.
After the financial assistant was taken away, Chris sighed," She was usually so quiet. How could she do something like this?"
Stella glanced at him and said, "Chris, have the surveillance cameras in the common areas reinstalled. If there's another incidentand the suspect isn't caught on camera, | will hold you responsible."
"It was indeed my negligence," Chris quickly responded.
Stella did not want to waste her time talking to him. She gave Maggie some instructions and left The Velvet.
