I kept quiet out of respect for the others in the room but Layla just wouldn't shut up.She just kept coming at me as though her mouth was some loaded gun.
"As the project leaders,the only people who had access to those plans were you,me and Kyle Maxwell.The Brooks family is an investor,and our families wouldn't leak such informations.It must have been you!It has to be."
After she said that,everyone suddenly started looking at me like I really did leak the information.Okay,this was coming too much.
I turned to Clayton,"Do you really think that I had a hand in this?"
What I wasn't expecting was his response to my question.
"As of now,there's no evidence to prove that you did it,but it also doesn't prove that you didn't leak the information either.What you're to do is hand over your pending tasks and cooperate with the investigation.If you're indeed foujd guilty,I won't be so kind."As he spoke,his words cut deep.They felt like punishment for a crime that I committed.
"You don't trust me at all,do you?"I asked,feeling betrayed.
His soulless eyes confirmed my fears."I don't answer to you,Sage."
The pain in my heart kept spreading like wildfire throughout my body.I couldn't explain it.
