Gathering Evidence

After leaving the dorm, she went to meet Lydia.

"Congratulations, Miss Lydia for selling your shame. I really need to applaud you for that" Mia said sarcastically to Lydia as she clapped for her. Mia was wearing a black knee length leather skirt with a white tank top on the inside and a black leather jacket on top. She also wore a black leather boots with dark glasses to support her hair while holding a mini bag. In all, she showed up with charisma.

"What do you want to say, I told you I was going to take everyone you own" Lydia said with confidence.

" I guess I should also hand you the clothes I'm wearing. I thought you had more to show but it turned out you wanted to dirty yourself. I only pity Ben for being a fool who trusted you" Mia said with a wicked laugh which left Lydia stunned but she didn't back down.

"You can't have him again and to tell you the truth, I don't even love him. I just wanted to waste him" Lydia also said with a wicked smile.

" I think I have to pity you more instead of Ben. People don't get to snatch things from me , I only gave it to them because it's useless to me by that time. " Mia added.

" At least you won't get to be together" Lydia added strongly.

" hahaha I don't even mind but I think you didn't really think about your future right. I really have to save the picture. As you are in performing arts, you will eventually go into the entertainment industry by then you may become successful. But what if at the height of your success, someone releases this picture of you during your college period, how would you like it?" Mia said wickedly which really made Lydia panic as her biggest dream is to become an actress.

"You wouldn't dare do that" Lydia said with panic.

"Or should I just wait for you to become successful and have a powerful fiance or boyfriend before releasing it? '' Mia added as she gave her a wink.

" You.... you" Lydia stuttered.

" Use your brains wisely, don't just sleep and eat on them," Mia said as she pulled her glasses down and walked away confidently. All this while, we witnessed everything that went on as we followed Mia the moment she left to make sure she doesn't do anything on impulse but let me tell you, she was really cool earlier on.

The four of us trotted and soon caught up with her. We started talking about how cool she was when she said all those things to Lydia's face. We couldn't help but laugh at her expression. As we reached the dorm, we saw Ben standing and waiting for Mia to come down as he had no idea that she was currently outside.

" I won't talk to him, I want to find out the truth and prove my innocence before anything else. You Guys have to be with me in this," Mia said.

" Okay"We all said together.

After that Mia went first but just walked past Ben without even glancing at him and That's when Ben saw her. He tried to talk to her but she didn't even stop in her tracks to listen to him.

When I got to his side, I told him to go back first, we will talk to her when we get inside. Ben stood there for sometime before finally dragging himself away. He was really in a sorry state and even though he was my best friend, I couldn't tell him anything because Mia was also my friend. Besides, it concerned their relationship and so I thought it was better to let them figure it out themselves.

" I really feel sorry for Ben," Lea said with real pity.

" Me too, but Mia, what are you planning to do?''Vicky seriously asked as she turned to look at her.

" Yeah Mia, we all know Ben is innocent in this matter.We can't just make him be in pain for things he really didn't do and besides even though Lydia is naive I believe she won't sleep with him" Rica added.

" I also think what Rica said makes sense. I think she just undressed him and took a picture of them together when he was unconscious." I also said,

" That's why I have to let him be for now. I also don't like seeing him in so much pain but the thing is, if I don't let him go for now, she will continue to harm him and if he gets more hurt, I am notl going to forgive myself for it so I have to gather the evidence first." Mia replied on the verge of tears.

" We all get you but what do you want to do now?, we will all support you" I said while patting her shoulder.

" Thanks guys" Mia said while still holding back her tears.

" What are friends for?" Lea asked with a smile.

"So how to go about it?" Rica asked again.

" So I want to find out how their company miscalculated the report. since it was a national business , they wouldn't just make such a simple mistake unless there's someone doing it from the inside." Mia replied in seriousness.

" So how are we gonna find out about that?" Vicky questioned.

" I think we have to first infiltrate their database, even though that's a bad thing to do, I think it's the best solution for now. Even though Lydia is annoying sometimes , she is still a good person, we can't just let her drift to a wrong path." Mia replied.

" I agree with you on that," said Rica.

" And since my family's main branch deals with technology, it wouldn't be hard for me as we have some of the best hackers in the country. They can even hack your system without leaving a trace or alarming the other party. I will take a leave from the school and go back home to take care of this matter. I will also make sure that the pictures disappear from the forum completely" Mia said with confidence.

" So what about those who saved the pictures on their phone?"Lea asked.

" We had a technology in our company which automatically deletes any related info about an article be it on the phone or forum, it completely disappears from everyone's device" Mia explained.

"Wow , that's so nice. I think we are really going to succeed." I commented.

" Although that technology hasn't been made public yet, it's very effective. you can save the photos first and test it later. I will leave tomorrow so please look after Ben for me. Just tell him I went home for some business" Mia said with extreme worry.

" Don't worry, I will take good care of him" I assured. After that we all fell into a warm embrace.
