As I passed through the space, I was back in the Song Mansion.

I heard Cici knocking on the door.

"Ms.Song, Ms.Song...."

I rushed to open the door.

"Ms.Song, are you alright?" Cici asked.

"Yeah... " I replied.

"I was at the door for the past 10 min. There was no reply so ..."

"I just overslept.."

"Your clothes... seem to be..." Cici was puzzled.

"aaa... Anything urgent?"

"Oh... Ian asked me to check on you as there is a meeting at 10 AM and you have to start in 30 min." Cici said.

"Oh ok .. I will get ready then." I said and asked Cici to leave.

......In my world.....

As I entered the space, I did hear the door opening from behind.

"Ms.Song???? " Mr.Johnson asked Ira.

"Mr. Johnson... Good morning..." Ira replied.

"You are in the office so early??"

"I need to leave an hour early. So, I thought of finishing the work ." Ira made up an excuse.

"Clark, didn't mention this to me?"

"Last minute request from family... So, he is unaware of it... I did drop a text early morning." Ira showed her phone. She was well prepared for such encounters.

"Oh.. Ok.. "

"Do you need me to help you with anything?"

"No... Clark isn't here... Can you get me a cup of coffee?" Mr.Johnson said.

"Sure .. "Ira replied.

As she handed the coffee, she saw the documents Mr. Johnson handed a document.

"Ms.Song, get the photocopies of these files."

"Mr.Johnson... I think you need to revise this."

"Why do you feel so?"

"If you see, here the penalty for the breach of contract is said to be 10 times the value of the project which would be costing more than a fortune. As I can remember there was no such clause in your discussion."

Mr. Johnson had a closer look. Just then Mr.Clark stepped in.

"Good Morning Mr. Johnson. Ms. Song..So early?"

"Clark, You have checked these documents yesterday right?"

"Yes Mr.Johnson."

"Then why is there a penalty clause that says 10 times?" Mr. Johnson questioned.

"10 times? Let me check."

"Mr.Johnson, yesterday when we checked, I remember there were no such clauses. I am not sure how it got changed overnight?" Mr.Clark said.

"I think someone was here in our absence." Mr.Johnson looked at Ira with suspicion.

"If I was the one who did it.. why would I ask you to revise the document before you sign?" Ira had her counterquestion ready.

Mr.Johnson couldn't answer it firmly...

"Mr.Johnson, maybe we can check the monitor if anyone entered the room after we left."

Ira panicked a bit if Iva would be exposed.

"Let's check it." Mr.Johnson said.

As we checked the surveillance, we found that indeed after Mr. Johnson and Mr.Clark left someone entered the office with a file at 3 AM.

"Mr. Johnson.... " Clark pointed out.

"mmm... "

"Who could do this?" Clark said in a worried tone.

"You guess..." Mr.Johnson said with a cold face.

"Who else.. it would be Mr.Henry." Ira replied.

"How can you say that Ms.Song?" Mr. Johnson asked.

"The clause intends to result in bankruptcy. I see only one who benefits from it is Mr. Henry Johnson. Not necessarily he would wait till the project ends, but once you sign he can present this document in the board meeting and get them against you."

"Right... So what do you want to do to handle this..." Mr.Johnson asked to test Ira.

"Well... We need not alert them. We can choose to leave the document on the desk without signing so that we can find the person who entered the office and gather the evidence. Print the new one and submit it personally without them finding out." Ira said with a firm voice.

"Nice....Go ahead and make the changes." Mr.Johnson said handing the file to Clark.

In Mr.Johnson's cabin...

"Mr.Johnson, the document is reprinted. Please have a look."

"mmm ..Don't you think she is different?" Mr. Johnson asked.

"Initially after the accident, I did feel she had a different personality. But later she was normal."

"If she was normal, do you think she would be able to point out the clauses?" Mr.Johnson's question.

"True... If it weren't for her, maybe you would have been in trouble by now." Clark said.

"mmm.." Mr.Johnson continued to watch Ira through the glass.

"Mr.Johnson, you knew it was Henry. But why did you let it go?"

"As she rightly said, to gather evidence."

"You already had the idea in mind?" Clark asked.

"Yes... I wanted to know her thoughts on handling it."

"Looks like you both have the same idea. The way she answered was more like you."

"She is talented and gentle. Now she seems to be smart and bossy." Mr.Johnson said.

"Do you think she is bossy?" Clark asked.

"I think she is interesting...." Mr.Johnson said.
