William had arrived at the office as early as he was expected to be there weekly, and he began his task for the day in an orderly manner. If an outsider had seen him now, they would never suspect that he had been drunk to stupor last night, and had almost been a victim of an evil plan being executed. An hour later, the other six interns arrived, one at a time, as well. They went straight to their desks before giving each other glances, silently communicating with one another. Minutes later though, they got up and went to William’s desk, awkwardly hovering over him.Laura glared lightly at the junior interns, urging one of them to take the initiative. Amma then nudged Jed specifically before whispering to him. “Go on; talk to him already.”Jed shook his head with a frown, not wanting to be the one to talk. Unfortunately for him, Drew and Armando were also supporting Amma, encouraging him to speak to William first.Jed broodingly raised a middle finger at the three interns before
William was too calm at the moment as he replied with a nod. “Yes, officer. That is me. How many I help you?”“How may they help you?! You actually have the fucking audacity to ask that! You monster!” Before the officer could speak, Drake rushed over, pushing Drew and Amma out of the way before reaching over to grab William by his shirt, forcing him up onto his feet. “How could you do this, William?! How could you do this to Mrs. Bright if all people? You killed her!”The six other interns were too stunned, both at the way Drake was acting and the words he had spewed. They couldn’t believe that their supervisor was dead, and William was being blamed for it for some reason.The police officer who seemed to be in charge took a step forward. “Young sir, I’m going to need you to calm down.” He was speaking to Drake.“How can you ask me to calm down, officer?!” Drake snapped at the law enforcer, letting go of William. “Mrs. Bright died in her car, a car that suddenly exploded in the m
The slap that Cordelia had descended on Drake’s face sent the senior intern stumbling backward until he fell straight to the ground. This didn’t affect him though, not as much as the initial shock at the fact that the intern supervisor was still alive.“Mrs. Bright, oh my goodness!” Laura began tearing up out of relief. “But they said you were dead.”Jed ran a hand through his hair out of frustration while whispering to himself. “What the hell is going on?”Cordelia Bright didn’t pay attention to the reaction the other interns were giving her though. She raised a finger at Drake with a hateful glare. “Drake Fisher, I would have never thought one of my interns would actually try to kill me. You had the audacity to plant a bomb in my car, which meant you had to have broken into my car to do this in the first place! How dare you?!” Her scream at the last question spread through the silent office, and the atmosphere in the department was thick with tension. Drake began shaking his he
Everyone’s phone rang with a notification alert, and they pulled out their devices to find that a video had been airdropped to them. Opening it, they found that it was clear footage of Drake in his car while in an oversized coat. According to the video, he was in a car parked outside of a house.“Holy shit! That’s the supervisor’s house!” Drew looked up from his phone in shock.Everyone could see that Drake seemed to be peering into Cordelia’s family house with a pair of binoculars.“Drake was stalking Mrs. Bright?! Damn!” Armando whispered out with a hissing tone.Then everyone saw a feminine figure, that could be easily mistaken for Cordelia herself, walking out of the house and getting into the car. Then they caught Drake driving at a distance behind that car, he was obviously following Cordelia’s car. After a while, at the point that Cordelia’s car was about to reach the highway, they saw through the barely raised windshield as Drake held up a device and pressed hard on the switc
After watching Drake Fisher be hauled away by the policemen who were initially brought by Drake himself to arrest William, they were all now in the Intern Supervisor’s office, discussing what happened.First, Cordelia began asking questions about Drake’s involvement with all the interns starting from the set of interns he had joined the company with. In an hour, Cordelia was left utterly disgusted and disappointed in Drake after Ian and Laura told him everything; from his Drake had forcefully slept with all the interns as a sick and twisted way to ascertain his dominance. He had then used the interns’ sex videos, none of which was ever recorded with their consent, and he threatened and bullied them into being his subordinates. Those who couldn’t take the table either quit the internship program totally or try to fight back. For these interns who tried to fight back, Drake either sent them into a coma or killed them off completely with his many schemes. “Oh my goodness.” Cordelia B
Everyone now turned their attention back to Cordelia with slight embarrassment and guilt on their faces for doubting their supervisor’s moral integrity, despite knowing her well enough to be a good person.“I’m sorry for thinking you were a ghost, Supervisor.” Armando chuckled nervously before receiving a jab to the ribs from Drew and Amma.“It’s fine.” Cordelia waved away her hand, conveying she didn’t hold this in her heart.“But where did you get someone to disguise as you, Mrs. Bright?” Laura asked.“Yeah, and how did you even find out that Drake was after your life?” Ian joined his fellow senior intern, causing everyone else to stare at the supervisor, waiting for her answer.Cordelia let out a breath before gesturing to William. “I think I owe all my gratitude and more to William Chain for that. I wouldn’t have been alive and answering your questions here if it wasn’t for him.”Everyone turned their gaze to William with confusion. They were wondering how he did it.Willi
The next day, Cordelia Bright and William went to the police station to give their statements. The police officers had been rather loose with the way they handled the entire situation yesterday. This was due to the great prestige that the McArthur headquarters had as a company. The company is the greatest benefactor of a lot of the government-owned facilities in this location, including the police station where those policemen had come from. They didn’t dare implement their usual procedures so as not to offend anyone at such a powerful company. It is exactly why they had been lenient, simply standing at the side while all of Drake’s evil doings were being unraveled. It’s also the reason they gave Cordelia and her interns time to rest up before they came and made their statements.Once they arrived at the police station, they were called to the office belonging to the head of police. The man welcomed them with open arms, a show of great respect to the company they belonged to. Here,
By the next day, William was surprised when he called Head Butler Mike Barathea to ask who Cordelia Bright really was, what kind of relationship she had with the McArthur family, and why she was under the protection of his grandfather.“Oh, did I really forget to tell you this?! This is such a silly behavior of mine. Apologies, Young Master William. Mrs. Cordelia Bright is, as you’ve seen her, an ordinary intern supervisor. As for her relationship with the McArthur, it’s quite a bitter-sweet one. You see, she used to be your mother’s childhood best friend. Well, that was before your mother ran away from home and abandoned her life here. To your grandfather, Mrs. Cordelia Bright stands as a reminder of his dear daughter. This is why, despite her status as an ordinary intern supervisor, no one in the company would dare interfere in her work, not to mention mess with her in the slightest. She’s basically untouchable.”William suspected that this had something to do with the reason his
