Trillionaire they never noticed

Framed

Getting called to work on a saturday morning was unsual. Ofcourse,Scort knew something strange must have happened that was why he was called this morning. But Scott never thought the issue could be this great.

An object worth $3,000,000,000 missing from the CEO's office.

  "The item was sitting in my office yesterday,and when i came in today to give out the item to the rightful owner,i found out it was missing." Pedro Louis explained,glancing at each and everyone of the worker's face as he spoke.

Scott shifted his gaze to Tory and he could see her fidgeting. Scott could understand why she was shivering.

The duo were the last people to exit yesterday due to them working overtime. She knew they might get blamed for the missing item since they left last.

"But boss,we all left the company at the same time. I don't understand how it got missing." One of the worker spoke up.

"Oh reall?" Pedro bluttered,shiftinf his gaze to Scott. "Everyone left,except the two cleaners."

Scott stated with a mischievious smirk.

Tory's heart raced after hearing the words Pedro spoke and sweat began to run down her face.

"So what are you insinuating? That we stole it?" Scott questioned with no trace of fear written on his face.

Pedro's blood began to boil in anger after noticing Scott wasn't panicing at all and he was still confident in his words.

"Maybe,maybe not." Pedro replied. "The surveliance camera recorded you entering into the office at 8:30 pm."

"Well,yeah,i entered the office to clean it. It's what i do,i clean,remember? That's why i got hired in the first place. To clean this whole company before and after work." Scott replied in a nonchalant tone which shocked Tory and ever workers present.

"Very well then. Do you mind explaining why the camera inside the office was turned off immediately you walked in? Were you probably doing something that you didn't want anyone to see?" Pedro asked,showing the video of last night  to Scott and the rest of the workers.

In the video,Scott walked into the camera with a bucket and mop. But immediately he walked in,the video blacked out.

"How am i suppose to know that? You should ask the head of security why the CCTV cameras were malfunctioning." Scott uttered.

"Nah,You probably took it when everyone was gone and had to mess with the cameras to cover up your tracks." Pedro voiced with a mischievious look. "And you know where else the cameras were malfunctioning? The locker room."

"Maybe this poor bastard stole it and hid it in his locker!" One of the female worker voiced out.

"Yes,he probably hid it there just to get it out quietly today!" Another worker chimed in,and soon everyone began to direct fingers towards Scott.

If Scott wasn't mistaken,he could see Tory also pushing the blames on him among the crowd.

Scott felt bad that the one he managed to call his friend turned around and stabbed him. Tory was fully aware that Scott didn't take it since they were both together the whole time.

She only did that to save her job and also not going to jail.

"You guys got it all wrong. I didn't steal anything!" Scott sounded. Scott wasn't worried about the price since 3 Billion dollars was just a drop in the bucket compared to what he had,hs was only concerned for his marriage.

If the Fernando family should hear that their Son In- Law to be stole such huge amount of money,they would call off the marriage instantly.

"Hey,you poor wretch,don't even bother denying it!" A bald headed man shouted.

"Let's just search his locker and see if it is inside. That way we will know what we will do to him!" Another man chimed in and others backed him up,including Tory.

"Very well then." Pedro replied with a smirk and began to make his way to the locker room with the workers behind him.

Scott kept praying internally that the item shouldn't be found inside his locker. He knew he didn't take it,but it was possible someone must have planted it inside to frame him for what he didn't do.

But who could it be?

Thinking about it,Scott shifted his gaze to Pedro who's busy smiling as the locker was being opened. Scott was sure that he has never seen Pedro's face in this company before even if his family owned the company.

Pedro was assigned the position of the CEO in another branch and had no business in this one. Why then would he show up and something of 3 Billion Dollars goes missing on the same say?

Scott found the whole thing fishy.

CLICK!

The locker finally unlocked and was opened to reveal the items inside. The locker was filled with Scott's work uniform,books and snacks,and a small black bag was sitting there.

"Bring down this bag." Pedro ordered,pointing towards the small bag.

Catching a glimpse of the bag,Scott was trying to figure out how it got there. He never had a bag like this,how then was it found in his locker?

"This bag?" The same annoying bald man from earlier asked.

"Yes,that bag." Pedro replied.

The bald man grabbed the bag and took it out of the locker. The man could feel the weight and was sure something valuable was inside.

"What's inside this bag?" Pedro asked,glancing at Scott. Scott on the other hand had no idea who owned the bag or what was inside.

"I have no idea. I have never seen it before in my life." Scott replied with a confused expression.

"Open the bag let me see what is inside." Pedro ordered,a smirk evident on his facr as he watched the bald man unzip the bag and the item inside was slowly becoming visible.

"Well well,what do we have here." Pedro sounded,taking out a small box from the bag. "The same item that went missing was found inside the locker of Scott Carden. Care to explain?" Pedro demanded.
