Break in the Case

I went to the bathroom. There was a girl there, fixing her makeup. I picked up the call quickly.

Meiying: Hello?

Officer Smith: Thanks for picking up. We have some news on the case.

Meiying: All ears.

???: Break is over in five minutes, Miss.

Meiying: Thanks. Yes, sir?

Officer Smith: We found out that your boyfriend was shot by a woman.

Meiying: What-

Officer Smith: There was one security camera which taped the scene. The hair was long, and the person had a figure of a woman. Her hair was brown. Also, there were two people. Both looking woman-like. The other one was a blonde.

Meiying: The only blonde person I know is Stephanie, my boyfriend's ex. I lost contact with her eleven months ago.

Officer Smith: Recap your words. Eleven months ago? Hello! She might be a suspect!

Meiying: Wow... can't believe I never thought of that. She used to hate Joshua for being with me... Man, I'm really dumb.

Officer Smith: I'll track her down.

???: The boss is coming! Let's go!

Meiying: Gotta go.

Officer Smith: I'll call you if anything happens.

I run out of the bathroom and go find Beth. Unexpectedly, she's the girl from the bathroom. Smiling, she waved. A group of girls stood next to me, eyes pierced to the door. Mr. Susuki walked in. The girls were red as tomatoes as they greeted him. His assistant was next to him... John! He greeted me and Beth with a smile and continued to walk behind his boss.

Mr. Susuki shot me a look.

Mr. Susuki: Come to my office in five minutes.

Meiying: Yes, sir.

A few minutes later, I was sitting at his desk as he arranged some papers. He took out a pencil and a paper, and then a paper containing some words.

Mr. Susuki: A lady came in yesterday and wanted to buy something to wear to work. She works at an office. Her requirements are on this paper. Make a design that suits her and that she would buy. 20 minutes.

With that, he resumed to his paperwork. I took a look. She wanted something simple, attractive, but acceptable for being in an office. Thinking, I quickly thought of a design. My pencil danced across the paper, creating a beautiful design for a dress. Open top, cute suit, and a plain color. I presented it to him.

Mr. Susuki: Not bad. Give it to Beth and tell her what fabrics you want. Remember, we are not in winter. Then give it to Angela who will fix the dress. She will know what to do. Ask her for a copy of the material.

Meiying: Ok, no problem.

Off I went. I picked out comfy but not suffocating, a bright but not a loud color,

and walked over to Angela, who was in the middle of a conversation.

Meiying: Hey, Angela? Boss said to make a copy of this material and to start working on the design.

Angela: Who are you to tell me what to do? Boss can tell me himself.

Meiying: He's busy. And he especially asked me to deliver the message and material. I'm just doing what he says.

Angela: Well, I don't want to do it now!

Meiying: Won't the boss get mad at you? I suggest you get to it.

Angela: I said I don't want to!

A sharp slap hit my face. I flipped back in shock and hit my head face down.
