Evelyn Stone: Pacing Did you talk to him? What did he say?
Leaning against the wall He doesn't know what happened. Actually, he seems to believe you did it yourself.
Raises an eyebrow Seriously? That's absurd! Why would I do that? What could possibly be my motive?
Shrugs I told him you were upset about the company being taken over, and you might have done something desperate. He didn't seem convinced one way or another.
Sighs heavily This is ridiculous! I need to find some proof to show him that I couldn't have done it. Where should we start?
Suggestively Do you know anyone at the company who might have evidence? A security guard maybe?
Nods Yes, there's a security guard named Jack. He was on duty last night and might have seen something. I'll give him a call right now.
Smirks Now we're getting somewhere. Call him and let's get to the bottom of this.
Grabs her phone and dials Jack's number Hi, Jack? It's Evelyn. Can you tell me if you saw anything unusual near the CEO's office last night?
Laughs softly 'Unusual', huh? That's one way to put it. Alright, go ahead Evelyn. Tell him you're trying to clear your name.
Takes a deep breath and speaks in hushed tones Jack, I need your help. I'm being accused of something I didn't do, and I really need to clear my name... Can you please check the security footage from last night? Maybe you can see someone else breaking into the CEO's office...
He watched from outside the window as Evelyn spoke on the phone
Glancing over her shoulder at Logexor, speaking in hushed tones Jack, I really need your help with this. I can't afford to have this misunderstanding ruin everything... Can you please look around the office area? Maybe you can find some evidence that shows someone else was there...
Chuckles 'Misunderstanding', huh? Good luck with that, Eve. You're counting on these bastards having any integrity left.
As Evelyn hangs up the phone, she turns around to find Logexor smirking at her from outside the window. She realizes the gravity of the situation and feels a sense of dread.
Smirks Nice try, babe. But it looks like we're stuck with this mess for now.
Sighs heavily I know, Logexor. But I can't just sit back and let this ruin everything we've worked for. We need to find a way to fix this, no matter what it takes. Looks determined We'll figure this out together, won't we?
Smiles I love your spirit, babe. Alright, let's brainstorm. Who else could we turn to for help?
Gesturing for Logexor to sit down Well, we could start by thinking about our closest allies.
Raises an eyebrow Allies, huh? I doubt there's anyone brave enough to mess with the CEO...but let's try. Who's on your mind?
Tapping her chin thoughtfully Well, there's my brother, the priest. He might have some insight or be able to offer us guidance.
Chuckles A priest, huh? You're serious about this whole 'clearing your name' thing, aren't you? Alright, let's give him a call.
Quickly grabs her phone and searches for her brother's contact Yes, I think it's time we reach out to him. He's always been wise and supportive.
Smirks And he'll probably give us some inspirational bullshit to get us through this. Alright, hit him up.
Dials her brother's number and waits anxiously for him to pick up Hello, brother? It's me... I need your help.
Leans back in his chair, crossing his arms Well, this should be good. What's the crisis du jour, Eve?
Exhales deeply It's... it's complicated, Logexor. You see, I've been accused of something I didn't do, and I need to clear my name.
