The New Case

January 21st – 22nd

I was still pondering the email invite at work on Monday. I never expected to actually be invited to the treasure hunt and, therefore, had no clue what to do about it.

When I sent Damien off with some research to complete, I sat down to read through the email one more time and worry pinched at me. This was because I hadn’t actually submitted mine and Cameron’s names when I applied. Instead I’d used two false identities the firm had created for a case Lilah and Cameron had worked on together last year.

I wondered what would happen if they found out we weren’t who I claimed us to be in my application. I mean, the worst they could do was deny us entry, right?

I knew that providing our real names wasn’t an option, since all they’d have to do was look into where we worked, and it would be an immediate red flag. I doubted such a secretive event would want people who worked for a private investigative firm attending, especially if something untoward was going on.

Unfortunately, there was still the fact that it cost £3000 to attend, and I simply couldn’t bring myself to spend so much on a whim. It just wasn’t worth it, nor was it practical. I mean, this whole thing was driven by pure curiosity. Cameron and I weren’t even being paid to look into any of this.

“Maisie, Georgia’s holding a general status meeting in the conference room in five minutes,” Nadia said as she passed by my desk.

I nodded and clicked out of my email, determining to RSVP that unfortunately I was no longer interested in going to the event. Heading towards the conference room, I was just around the corner from the water cooler when I heard voices, one of which belonged to Cameron.

Normally, I wouldn’t pay too much attention to my co-workers’ conversations, but it was unusual for Cameron to be chatting with the “lads,” i.e. Rory, Miles, and Kieran.

“So, you aren’t seeing Maisie, then?” Rory questioned suspiciously. “I could’ve sworn you two looked cosy last week.”

“I’m not seeing anyone at the moment,” Cameron replied evenly. Technically, it was the truth, yet for some reason, it still made my stomach clench unpleasantly to hear him say it.

“Well that’s probably for the best,” Miles said. “That woman wouldn’t know what to do with a dick if she ever saw one.”

Oh my God, that arsehole!

“Yeah,” Kieran scoffed. “If Cameron was going to date anyone at the firm, it definitely wouldn’t be Maisie.”

Just like that, my gut twisted and I clenched my fists. I couldn’t believe they were talking about me like this, and Cameron…Cameron was just standing there letting it happen. Of course, I couldn’t see his facial expression. He could be glaring at them with the fire of a thousand suns for all I knew, but still, his silence sliced right through me.

“Hey now, don’t be mean,” Rory chided, his pleased tone indicating his delight that they were putting me down.
