Maria's narrowed her eyes. "Passwords can be stolen. It can be stolen intentionally or maybe this was an orchestrated plan". "Orchestrated by who?" Elena questioned curiosly. Maria raised a brow but said no word. Andrew adjusted his seat. "Elena are you aware of the weight of the situation?" "Yes Mr Cross", she said.

"I wasn't aware. I just found out this morning" Maria's smirked. "Wow nice". Andrew cleared his throat. "Miss Santiago we're trying not to accuse anyone falsely but the issue is serious.
