“What do we do?” Sophie asked, her voice barely above a whisper.
“We have to find proof. If we can expose him first…” Jonathan trailed off, hope struggling against despair.
Suddenly, they heard a loud crash from the office area. “What was that?” Sophie gasped.
“We can’t stand here,” Jonathan said, adrenaline surging. “Let’s go!”
They rushed back through the building, Jonathan’s mind racing with the implications of Marcus’s betrayal. “I trusted him, Sophie. How could I have been so blind?”
“You’re not alone in this,” she said, gripping his arm. “We’ll fix this together.”
But as they neared Jonathan’s office, he felt the air changing, thick with tension. They burst through the door to find Marcus standing there, a triumphant smirk plastered across his face.
“Did you really think you could outsmart me?” he sneered, holding up a stack of printed documents. “You’re going to regret this, Jonathan.”
