walks over to MysticalReef's desk and places a stack of files neatly I can see that, boss.

What? That can't be right. Let me see those numbers. takes the documents from Julian and scans through them
points to a specific section Here, boss. The budget was allocated twice, apparently.
eyes widen This could be a major issue. We need to get to the bottom of this fast. Julian, start by contacting our finance department and find out who authorized this.
Right away, boss. I'll get on it now. quickly picks up the phone and dials the finance department
frowns This is unacceptable. We can't afford these kinds of mistakes. Julian, keep me updated on what you find out.
on the phone Hello, this is Julian from the executive office. I need to speak to Johnson from the finance department immediately.
paces back and forth Let's hope Johnson has some answers. We can't let this slide any further.
listens intently Johnson, it's urgent. We have a discrepancy in the budget allocation for the marketing campaign.
leans in closer What does he say, Julian?

A misunderstanding? Someone must have been confused. We need to get to the root of this. Julian, find out who last approved these documents and why.

Good. Make sure you document every step of your investigation, Julian. We need a paper trail if we're going to fix this.
Understood, boss. I'll start by checking the digital records and finding out who last modified the approval process.
nods Good. Keep me posted on your progress, Julian. We'll get through this together.
furrows brow, focused Alright, boss. I've found the log of modifications. It seems like someone made a change to the approval process after hours.
After hours? That's suspicious. Do you recognize the name or username, Julian?
scrolls through the log It's... it's Mark Johnson. He made the modification right before the end of the workday.
Mark Johnson? That name rings a bell. He was involved in the approval process for that campaign. We need to bring him in for questioning.
Agreed, boss. I'll arrange a meeting with Mark Johnson first thing in the morning and get to the bottom of this.
