Part 18 Mastermind

"The call was from Nigeria," Said Bhashyam.

All of them automatically turned towards Ranjith who panicked.

"Why are you guys looking at me?" he stammered.

"You know very well why we are looking at you," said NK.

"Why?" Bhashyam asked.

"He has a friend in Nigeria, sir,"

"So, what? Just because I have a friend in Nigeria, will you say I corrupted our server?" Ranjith asked.

"Why won't we think so when you could accuse Khushi?" NK said.

"Whaaaat? Did he accuse Khushi? But why?" Bhashyam asked shockingly.

"He said Khushi is the one who corrupted our server as she wants to became the team head, sir," Aman said.

"Is it? How could you blame anyone blindly? Why did you accuse her pointlessly? She just joined our company. How could she think of becoming the team head?"

"Sir, she completed the project alone. That's what made me doubt her" Ranjith said.

"Did she complete the project alone?" Bhashyam asked stunned.

"Yes, sir... she completed it... the project is in this hard disk," Arnav said.

"But... how is it possible?"

"It's possible for her, sir. She helped us with the project yesterday when we asked her. She helped us without hesitation but Ranjith blamed her for the corruption that occurred in our server, sir" Arnav said.

"Not only Khushi, he is always nagging ASR for being the team head, sir," Aman complained.

"But why?"

"He wants to be the team head. That's why, sir,"

"You? But you don't know R language, right?" Bhashyam asked.

Ranjith bowed down.

"Without learning ABCD, how could you write a poetry?" Bhashyam asked sarcastically.

Ranjith was silent.

"Don't you think you wish beyond your capacity? Why didn't you guys bring this issue to my attention?" he asked, looking at others.

"ASR didn't want to create a scene over this issue, sir..." Aman said.

"Do you have a friend in Nigeria?" Bhashyam asked Ranjith.

"He was there, sir. I don't know now if he is there..."

"Give his phone number,"

"Phone number? I missed it, sir,"

"Missed it? How?" he raised his brows.

"I missed it as I formatted my phone,"

"Is it? OK, give me your phone"

"Why sir?"

"To make a call... my phone has no balance"

"I too don't have balance, sir"

"Give me your phone," Bhashyam asked strictly.

"Do you doubt me?"

"Yes..."

"This is not fair, sir. How could you doubt me?"

"If you are not wrong, why are you hesitating?"

"I don't have to prove myself to the ones who don't trust me. I'm resigning my job..." Ranjith said with attitude.
