CHAPTER 14: CHAPTER 14: MAKING AN ARREST

Seeing the scene in the video, Stella Grant’s gaze turned colder.

Continuing to watch, the waiter seemed unwilling to comply, then the man took out his wallet and gave her more money.

Eventually, after some hesitation, the waiter looked around and pocketed the money.

The video had visuals but no sound.

However, that didn’t prevent Stella Grant from understanding the whole story.

Towards the end, the waiter placed the pill given by the man into the juice glass and carried it into Stella Grant’s private room.

Stella Grant thought the video would end there, but unexpectedly, the view shifted to the private room’s footage.

Inside the room, the waiter walked up to Stella Grant and discreetly handed her the juice.

Stella Grant took it and gave the waiter a tip in return.

The video then showed Stella Grant drinking the juice.

The glass was emptied, with the frame paused at the end.

It’s unclear who sent the video.

But Stella Grant recognized the man in the video.

He was one of the few ’friends’ she had made since arriving at Omni.

Since joining Omni, there were plenty of people covertly trying to trip her up, but this person in the video was the only one who seemed genuinely close.

Though colleagues weren’t supposed to forge friendships, as a newcomer from far away, she couldn’t help but be blinded by such warmth.

After watching the entire video, Stella Grant stayed calm for a while, downloaded and saved the video, then closed the tablet.

Early the next morning, Stella Grant rose before dawn.

She didn’t go straight to the office, taking a half-hour leave to detour to the police station.

The video was of high quality, unedited, and Stella Grant was involved in the case herself, making the proceedings quite smooth.

By nine-thirty, Stella Grant arrived at the company, trailed by four police officers, immediately drawing the attention of everyone passing by in the lobby.

The receptionist greeted Stella Grant as usual, "Good morning, Manager Grant."

Stella Grant nodded, "Morning."

Stella Grant entered the elevator with the police, and the work chat group at Omni erupted.

[What’s going on? What happened?]

[Are you talking about Manager Grant bringing police to the company?]

[I saw it too, four officers.]

[Is it related to that video?]

[Did anyone share it? Could Manager Grant have reported it because someone spread the video?]

The news of Stella Grant bringing police to the office quickly spread throughout the company.

Anyone who had forwarded the video anxiously sat on edge, feeling uneasy.

Meanwhile, Stella Grant took the elevator upstairs and headed straight for the planning department with the police.

Under the watchful eyes of the planning department staff, she knocked on the planning manager’s office door.

The door opened, and the man inside was initially stunned but quickly smiled at Stella Grant, "Manager Grant, what’s this about?"

Stella Grant remained composed, "It’s about a video case. I hope Manager Flynn will cooperate with the investigation."

The man’s expression stiffened slightly but didn’t show fear, "That matter, huh. Sure, come in, please..."

While speaking, he moved aside to let Stella Grant and the others enter, feigning embarrassment, "Actually, I don’t know much about it either. I only saw it in the work chat group. But rest assured, Manager Grant, I’ve already ordered that all videos from our department group be deleted, never to be spread..."

After speaking, he noticed Stella Grant and the police weren’t entering, tightening his grip on the door handle, "Manager Grant?"

Stella Grant clarified, "I might have been unclear earlier. I’m not talking about my scandal video, but rather the video of Manager Flynn bribing a waiter to drug me at the hotel."

As soon as Stella Grant finished speaking, the man’s face turned pale.

She stood speaking within the planning department’s workspace, her voice not deliberately lowered, prompting shock and whispers among the staff.

"Is Manager Grant serious? Manager Flynn drugged her?"

"No way, aren’t Manager Flynn and Manager Grant close friends privately? They even dined together recently; I thought Manager Flynn was pursuing her."

"Seems unlikely to be false, Manager Grant even brought the police."

Listening to the chatter, the man’s body wavered, but he maintained his composure, "Manager Grant, could this be a misunderstanding? Bribing a waiter? Drugging? I don’t understand what you’re talking about."

Faced with the man’s evasive words, Stella Grant wasn’t in a hurry, observing quietly for about a minute before turning to the police, "Please handle it."

The lead officer nodded, "It’s our duty."

After speaking with Stella Grant, the officer turned his gaze to the man still trying to argue, showed his badge, and said sternly, "Any statements can be made at the station."
