“thump” “thump”…
In a quiet study room, Lily’s ears are covered with her heavy heartbeat sound, even her fingers are trembling when she turns over the documents. Moments later, she eventually found the financial statement of Buy U Tech Company in the bottom drawer of the desk.
And yet, Buy U Tech Company belongs to Tim.
Due to shortage of time, she doesn’t take a close look but takes out her phone and snaps every page right away to save it.
After discovered the financial statement, Lily somehow slacken. She then continues to look through almost all of the files that place outside but found nothing.
Anxious and annoyed, Lily strolls around the study room and finally stops in front of the computer. After a short hesitation, she decides to take a bet on it.
Power on!
Surprisingly, the computer doesn’t set any password, it logs in directly!
From his usual behavior and handling affairs, she knows that Tim has never been heedful. But never have she expect that he is this careless.
Did he trust her or belittle her?
Lily pokes out her lips, really wants to thank the old silly of her. It is because she has never tried to enter his study room that makes him so relaxed and vigilant, even without setting any password.
In the quiet study room, besides the rattling sound of the mouse, there is almost no sound. Lily carefully flips through every file in the computer. She used to repair his computer during her sophomore year. This is why; finding the hidden files in the computer is a piece of cake. 20 minutes later, she has sorted out lots of Buy U significant information. She then takes out a flash drive from her bag and copy it.

Watching the progress bar growing little by little, Lily’s heart also lifts a little. Her palms have been sweating out. When it has almost completed, here comes a sound of a car stalling in the yard downstairs.
The light isn’t on; it will look the same from the outside. But still, Lily who is standing inside went stiff.
He is back!
Copying items 89%….
With a click, the entrance door opens and someone walks in.
Copying items 97%....
She hears the sound of opening the shoe cabinet coming from downstairs.
Just a little bit left. Lily clenches her hands. “Should I give up?”
If she gives up now, we won’t know when the next opportunity will come. But now, she doesn’t know how long she could hide anymore.
Lily decides to gamble. Listening to the sound coming, she bits her lips tightly, glances at the computer screen and storms out.
At the same time, not even a second, Tim appears from the corner of the stairs of the second floor and sees Lily standing in the corridor. The man freezes for second and strides towards her. He uses his fingers to lift her chin up. “Are you welcoming me?”
