“Huh?”

Alvin was stunned.

He was very interested and ready to hear the boss announce who the thief was.

However, Alvin heard the boss call out his name.

In an instant, dozens of people in the company looked at Alvin in unison.

Alvin forced himself to calm down. He undoubtedly knew that he had never been involved in such a thing.

So he asked, “Mr. Smith, may I ask why you suspect that I did it?”

“Divination.”

Mr. Smith answered clearly, “I bought a set of divination cards yesterday. The question I raised for divination was ‘Where is my watch now?'”

“And the divination result was a Sagittarius male wearing a black sock on his left foot within a hundred meters of me! According to the questionnaire all of you have provided earlier, the only one who fits the bill… is you, Alvin.”

…

Alvin was stunned when he heard that.

Divination? Sock? Constellation?

In this day and age, was there really someone who treated this as a means of solving crimes?

Now, they have even suspected him.

Alvin felt a rush of blood in his head.

Naturally, he was angry.

He had worked in the company for two years, and he had never done anything to let the company down.

Even when he was looking for the boss’s watch yesterday, he had done his best.

All he wanted was to finish his work promptly and go home early.

But now, Alvin was regarded as the number one suspect. The boss was so confident that he did not waver at all.

And his colleagues at this moment also showed all kinds of emotions.

Jerry became the peacemaker, speaking to the boss on Alvin’s behalf. Jerry said that this matter should not be settled so hastily. Moreover, even if divination was useful, it should be done again in front of everyone. The result might turn out different this time around…

Most people just pretended that nothing had happened and stared at the computer screen to do their work. However, they were actually using the reflection of the black screen to watch everything.

And there was another group of people who had a different reaction. Although Alvin was usually cautious enough, he had somehow offended them. This group did not hide their joy when they saw what was happening. They sneered at Alvin behind the boss’s back.

“I didn’t do it,” Alvin regained his composure and pointed at the table. “Although it’s illegal to do this, you may search my table.”

Alvin knew that he didn’t steal the watch, which was why he dared to say such words.

That was why he dared to let people search his drawers.

The boss rolled his eyes. He went over to Alvin’s desk personally and started rummaging through the drawers.

Soon, he took out a diamond inlaid watch from the bottom drawer.

It was a platinum-plated case with twelve small diamonds inside. It was indeed the watch that the boss treasured.

When the boss raised his watch, he walked around the office like he was in a parade.

Some people covered their mouths and snickered, while others frowned and looked gloomy.

Jerry, who had been trying to smooth things over, suddenly slapped himself hard. He glared at Alvin before returning to his seat.

Sighs filled the entire office.

No one blamed Alvin. Everyone was very busy.

But they expressed their dissatisfaction in their way.

“Caught red-handed. What else do you have to say?”

The boss took out his phone and acted like he was making a call. He looked at Alvin smugly yet also disappointed.

If it wasn’t for that divination, the boss wouldn’t have thought that the person who stole the watch was Alvin.

Alvin gave people the feeling that he was always very calm and down-to-earth. Usually, he didn’t talk much. However, whenever he spoke, it would be something important. He was just a child who had just entered society, yet he had an inexplicable sense of maturity.
