Ieva klusām piebilda, "viens no svarīgiem dokumentiem ir pazudis."En: "Rūta, I have to tell you..." Ieva added quietly, "one of the important documents is missing."Lv: Rūta jūtu pieplūstošu nemieru.En: Rūta felt a surge of unrest.Lv: Tas bija dokuments, kas bija ļoti svarīgs viņas gaidāmajai paaugstināšanai amatā.En: It was the document that was very important for her upcoming promotion.Lv: Un nu... tas nebija atrodams.En: And now... it was nowhere to be found.Lv: Edgars, viņas kolēģis, iegāja birojā.En: Edgars, her colleague, entered the office.Lv: Viņš vienmēr šķita neskaidrs savā rīcībā, kā tāds, kurš zina vairāk, nekā pats saka.En: He always seemed vague in his actions, like someone who knows more than he says.Lv: Rūta viņu vēroja ar neizpratni, viņa laipnība bija nesalasāma.En: Rūta watched him with confusion, his kindness was unreadable.Lv: Ienāca Edgars, lai ātri ar viņu parunātu: "Rūta, es esmu dzirdējis par dokumentu.En: Edgars came in to quickly talk to her: "Rūta, I have heard about the document.Lv: Ja gribi, var būt, es varu palīdzēt."En: If you want, maybe I can help."Lv: Tomēr Rūta vilcinājās.En: However, Rūta hesitated.Lv: Viņa nekad nebija cieši sadarbojusies ar Edgaru, un šaubas nespēja viņu atstāt.En: She had never worked closely with Edgars, and doubts couldn't leave her.Lv: Bet tajā laikā viņa izprata, ka Edgars bija viņas vienīgā cerība.En: But at that moment, she realized that Edgars was her only hope.Lv: Viņai vajadzēja draugu šajā haotiskajā situācijā.En: She needed a friend in this chaotic situation.Lv: "Nu labi," viņa lēnām teica, "bet mēs darīsim pēc mana plāna."En: "Alright," she slowly said, "but we will do it my way."Lv: Viņi sākās pēc pazudušā dokumenta izpētes.En: They began to investigate the missing document.Lv: Viņi pārmeklēja kabinetus, pārskatīja papīrus, e-pastus, visu, kam bija pieeja.En: They searched offices, reviewed papers, emails, everything they had access to.Lv: Bet nekas neizkristalizējās.En: But nothing materialized.Lv: Pēc ilgas meklēšanas, Rūta jutās...
