The presence of the mouse threw the entire department into disarray.
Screams filled the air, and the faces of the women turned pale as many mbered onto their chairs.
“Go get the mouse! Go! Where did it go?”
“Come on, you guys!”
The male colleagues were reluctantly enlisted to catch the mouse.
The mouse proved to be very nimble, darting across the floor, eluding the urban men unustomed to dealing with rodents.
Amidst the screaming, the mouse weaved through the feet of the male colleagues.
Terrified, the men turned to Dulcie for assistance.
“You catch it.
Do you want it to wreak havoc in our whole department and make us theughingstock of thepany?”All rights ? N?velDrama.Org.

“That’s right, Dulcie.
The mouse was found in your drawer.
You can’t just let it escape!”
Dulcie remained passive, her arms crossed, silently observing her panicked colleagues.
When directly addressed, her expression remained unchanged.
“I’ve already said I’ll wait for the mouse to find its owner.
If nobody confesses, even if this department falls into chaos, it’s on the person who brought the mouse here.
”
Some colleagues couldn’t tolerate the mouse any longer.
“I know who put the mouse here.
Catch it and I’ll tell you.
”
Dulcie was skeptical.
“Tell me first, and then I’ll catch it.
”
The young woman stood up and pointed toward Audrey.
“It was…”
“What are you pointing at me for? What are you about to say? How dare you speak up here!”
Audrey could no longer remain calm.
She mmed the desk forcefully, stood up quickly, and faced Dulcie confrontationally.
“Dulcie! It’s just a mouse.
Do you have to cause such a disturbance in the logistics department?”
Seeing Audrey’s defensive reaction, Dulcie seemed to piece something together.
“You weren’t even used.
Why are you so quick to defend yourself? Are you so eager to let me know you’ve been holding a grudge against me and tried to sabotage me with a mouse?”
Audrey scoffed and replied dismissively, “I have no idea what you’re talking about.
Why don’t you just tell the mouse toe over to me then?”
Dulcie responded calmly, “Whether you admit it or not doesn’t really matter.
I can always check the surveince footage.
I’ve heard Mr.
Shaw despises internal conflicts among employees.
What do you think will happen if he sees the evidence?”
