Tantri only realized if everyone in the room looked at her. The girl smiled faintly, feeling embarrassed, but felt right by what she had just said.
"A moment.., a minute.is there something wrong with what I just said.. If anything, I'm sorry, because I'm not very familiar with the working system in this lab. I think the work of our own creation, it would be nice if we are the ones who speak for ourselves, and deliver it. So. if there is confirmation we will be able to immediately provide an explanation." Tantri tried to explain the meaning of the sentence..
"Don't interfere you new boy.. If you don't know be quiet, don't just start nyolot like that." cynically, Celine gave a response.
"Hey Celine, until when will you call me a new boy. It's been almost a month, I joined you guys, yet you still think of me as such. Besides, what are you angry about like that for. Do you feel like I suspect you..?" tantri boldly answered Celine's words.
"Suspected what. Keep your words Tantri.." Out of the blue, Celine reacted strongly. The girl stood up from her sitting position and would have Tantri in her chair..
"Woii.. Remember, in this place the den, not the gym to fight.." from his seat Donnie stood up, and tried to break Celine who was raging.
Dion and Peter looked at each other, but they did not react. Even looking at the three young men, sitting leaning back in his chair with both hands placed behind his head.
"Don't interfere with you Donnie.. Oh yeah, I just remembered. Lately you are close to Tantri.., or actually you have a crush on this new child. So. trying to get attention from her.." seeing Donnie who seemed to defend Tantri, Celine got angry, and she got angry,
"Whatever you say Celine... Tantri.., get back to work. Just ignore the others, focus on your own work again, don't be affected." looking at the angry Celine, Donnie ignored her. The man gave Tantri advice.
Tantri did not reply, only raising her hand gesturing to Donnie, if she would. Looking at Tantri who did not respond back, with a murmur Celine approached Dion and Peter.
"Where Dion. Rather than me feeling the emotion in this room, mending me out for a walk." felt sorry, Celine came to Dion..
"No need for Celine.. It seemed like what Tantri had said was true as well. I'll be delivering myself, and who knows, by meeting the supervisor often, my relationship with him will improve.." unexpectedly. Dion changed his mind.
"What...what is this..? Why are you all so affected by that new kid anyway.. You don't trust me anymore, and you're as suspicious as Tantri says.." Celine grew angry, hearing Dion's reply.
"Hey. hey, stop talking. My head's dizzy hearing those loud words from you Celine. It's also okay, why did you get angry like that, when Dion did not leave the results of his work to you. Like a little boy.." Peter, who had been silent since, shouted furiously.
Celine reacted in shock, as everything in the room was like cornering her. The girl , directed her gaze towards Tantri, and fortunately Tantri did not look at her. Seeing Tantri no longer responding to him, Celine grunted then walked away from the study. The four people in the room looked at each other, but they then returned to the focus of their activities,

Meanwhile, inside the meeting room there seemed to be a meeting of several people inside. Their conversation looked serious, and there were also some people with angry faces looking the other way..
"You see when else we will wait for the progress of your results.. Which makes the leader surprised, when it has been tested several times, always failed.. But not long ago, the private sector has produced almost perfect results.. It's not wrong, if we arouse suspicion." One of those people spoke in a high tone.
"It's not wrong if we suspect. How much money we have allocated to support this project. Millions of dollars, and the result is always a piece of trash.. Out of reason, if a private company that has not so much financial support, manages to seamlessly manufacture such equipment." still in a furious tone, Mr. Albert gave a response.
Everyone was silent to the words of Mr. Albert. Rebecca was also immediately silent without comment, because as the in charge of the production unit, her ability was in doubt.
"And remember. semester performance assessment will already be done. Do not be surprised, if it turns out there is rotation, demotion, or promotion. Companies need renewal, restructuring, because our funding allocations will be cut. So. please prepare, show your best performance.." Turns out Mr. Albert hasn't stopped, the man is still continuing the conversation,
A few moments later...
"Today's meeting is enough to end. I hope you take notes, and remember the last words. There will be no mercy, for anyone indicated there is cheating at work. We're in a crisis of people who can keep the job safe, know who's giving us the pay.. Good afternoon.." after speaking at length, Albert finally closed the meeting.
No one dared to respond back to Mr. Albert's words. Even until the middle-aged man walked out of the room, the meeting participants were still stunned. They are like reminded of failures that have often occurred lately.
"What Mr. Albert said seems to have a point. Rebecca. Your biggest unit gets allotted funds, so you have to do a lot of evaluation.." One of them told Rebecca something.
"Hempphh, but I'm confused, where to start.. Actually I myself was also suspicious of the people in my work team, but I couldn't be suspicious of each other." Suddenly Rebecca alluded to the unit under her, as well,
The other four people looked towards Rebecca, as shock had just heard the woman sigh this time. As one of the seniors in the company, Rebecca had already gone through a lot of experience. So it was something surprising when the woman complained.
"Tell us Rebecca, who knows we can come to the analysis." finally a man named Franc gave a response. The others just nodded their heads.
Seen Rebecca took a deep breath, then...
"I myself was also confused, whereas if I held coordination with my team members, all seemed excited about presenting the concept. But as soon as success approached, private companies had already launched products with exactly the same concept we.." the middle-aged woman began to tell stories.
"From your story, is it impossible, if any of your team members are cheating. It could be that, unbeknownst to you, someone is selling the concept to the private.." Franc.
"It could be Franc. But don't you know for yourself, how the security inside this lab is. Traffic, and data migration will be easily investigated by the Security unit. But.. I'll be more careful, and will periodically do direct inspections down..." Rebecca seemed to receive input from Franc.
Everyone in the room was silent again.
