Female NovelLiliana, though disheartened by this critique of Sabrina, maintained her composure and continued tosmile. “In that case, I’ll arrange for a different photographer for you. Let me check who is available rightnow.”
“Okay, I understand,” Keilani replied.
After concluding the call, Liliana looked up at Sabrina and said, “Well, you can head back and awaittomorrow’s schedule.”
“Thank you,” Sabrina acknowledged, leaving ahead of schedule.
On her way home, Sabrina’s phone rang, and she saw it was a call from Liliana.
“Hello? Liliana? What’s the matter?” Sabrina inquired.
“Come back. I need to have a word with you.” Liliana’s voice on the phone carried a serious tone,causing Sabrina to feel a sense of unease.
“Okay, I’ll be right over,” Sabrina responded, her return now obligatory.
Upon reentering Liliana’s office, Sabrina came to a sudden halt.
In addition to Liliana, there was Keilani, her attendant, and another photographer named Evan present.
As Sabrina’s eyes scanned the trio, Keilani offered a faint, mocking smile.
As Sabrina stood in confusion, her gaze shifted to Liliana, seeking an explanation, “Liliana, why did youask me to come back?” she inquired.
Before Liliana could respond, Keilani sneered, accusing Sabrina, “Don’t pretend to be clueless. Youstole my necklace. Hand it over!”
In that instant, Sabrina comprehended that Keilani was playing games.novelbin
She hadn’t even seen Keilani’s necklace, let alone stolen it. How could she have stolen it?
“You accuse me of stealing your necklace? Do you have any evidence?”
Sabrina stared at Keilani with intense determination.
“There’s a witness,” Keilani asserted, nodding at her attendant.
The attendant promptly stepped forward, claiming, “Her necklace was in her handbag, and you’re theonly one, besides me, who could have touched that bag. If it wasn’t you, then who else could havetaken it?”
“Maybe you stole it,” Sabrina countered with a sly smile. “I noticed you sneaking around earlier. Itseems you’re hiding something.
Perhaps you stole the necklace and are trying to pin it on me.”
“You… Nonsense…” Keilani stammered, caught off guard by Sabrina’s words.
Liliana, astute to the dynamics at play, refrained from exposing Keilani directly. She assessed thesituation and proposed, “Keilani, determining the culprit is tricky. How about we review the surveillancefootage?”
However, Keilani pointed at Sabrina and insisted, “Liliana, I trust Anne. She wouldn’t steal my necklace.It has to be Sabrina. I want to search her!”
