Hello, readers!
This week brought a mix of emotions and unexpected turns in our office saga. Steve was finally able to grace us with his insightful business development talk, bringing a sense of normality after recent events.
He emphasised the importance of cross-pollination with other businesses to achieve shared goals. Amidst his wisdom, Steve's broke down in an emotional revelation about his love for mosaic tiling. Alice even showed him support with a comforting arm rub, showcasing the tight bonds within our team.
Post-talk, we decided on a team lunch at Gretal’s cafe, to savour her fantastic tuna and cheese melts. But just as we were leaving, a chilling discovery halted us in our tracks.
Josh spotted one of the sinister looking Costco chocolate cupcakes placed on the entrance doorstep. The cupcake had a neon pink fake nail protruding from the icing. A mysterious yet familiar message written on a note beneath it ‘I know what you did.' Shock and confusion enveloped us.
Polly, looking pale, held her right hand up slowly revealing four neon pink nails, yet a false nail was missing from her index finger. Suddenly, Polly’s eyes rolled back in her head, and she dropped to the floor, fainting with the shock. Donna sprang into action with first aid as Josh investigated the nearby businesses to see if they had seen who had left the cake.
This time, we didn't hesitate to involve the police. What began as an odd cupcake incident has taken a sinister turn. Polly's distraught—why target her, and who could be behind this unsettling mystery? Why did Polly get such a cheap set of false nails? The unanswered question lingers: if the nail belongs to Polly, whose penguin cufflink was discovered last time?
Until next week, Rebecca x
