“I’ve had it with both of you,” Elly said. “I’m not stupid. I know neither of you like me, but I never thought your jealousy would drive you to accuse me of embezzling money.”

“Elly, our jealousy is all in your mind,” Caitlyn said. “In fact, right now I’m glad I didn’t get your job. And why on earth would Megan be jealous of you? She’s your boss.”

Elly stood up straighter and looked down her nose. “I have a successful husband, a family that loves me, a good home, and a great job.”

“You little witch!” Megan shouted. “Everybody knows your husband bought this job for you! I’m always correcting your mistakes – mistakes you have no excuse to make after two years on the job!” She put her hands on her hips. “I know you tried to stop me from getting this job. I know you applied for it and Mr. Harris told you he couldn’t promote you because you aren’t a CPA. All of your years of sucking up couldn’t stand against my hard earned accomplishments!”

Elly’s jaw dropped. “Your professional life is the only thing you have in order. I have a good life, one that everybody envies. At least I’m not pathetic and living with my parents like you do!”

Megan crossed her arms. “Not perfect. You couldn’t get around me to have the perfect job to top off your perfect life. But at least I’m honest. I don’t buy favors and kiss up to powerful people to get what I want. I use my brain and work hard to earn it. You just don’t like me because I’m in your way, and all that crap you take from Mr. Harris can’t get you around me.”

Elly’s fought to regain her composure. “People always attack those they’re jealous of.”

“Ladies!” Caitlyn shouted, closing the office door. “We have bigger problems!” She turned to Elly. “It seems you’re in a bit of a pickle. We may not like you, but we aren’t sick enough to falsely accuse you. We just want to know what’s going on.”

Elly leaned against her back wall. “I am being honest. I didn’t falsify those reports.”

“Have you looked at them?”

Elly picked them up and glanced over the paperwork, a puzzled look on her face. She opened her desk drawer and pulled out more papers. Caitlyn raised an eyebrow. “You keep copies of these? Mrs. Ross wants all the copies shredded after the paperwork is scanned in the system.”

“I’m behind on cleaning out my files,” Elly turned her attention to the papers, pulling out a yellow highlighter and marking several items. After a few minutes, she turned the papers toward them.

“It’s a good thing I make my own copies. You’re right. These reports have been falsified, but not by me.” She shook her head. “I don’t know how this happened, but numbers have been changed. As you can see from what I highlighted, it looks like these figures have been slightly altered, especially for large, expensive items, like computer and specimen analysis equipment.
