I couldn’t believe the luck I had! If Davies had used any other computer, no camera would have been able to catch him. Of course, Davies could deny that he had anything to do with the hacker’s attack, but the facts spoke for themselves-he was the mole. I was certain that knowing which computer had gotten infected first, I could match the exact second the spyware had been downloaded, and I bet it would match the time mark on the video footage. I couldn’t help but be crazily excited. For the first time in my life, I was using my skills and my intelligence for something that mattered. I loved that feeling of being useful…
I strode through the Lan Diamond Corporation’s entrance like a general going home after a victorious battle. I was armed with my laptop and tablet, and I wouldn’t hesitate to use them against the one trying to steal from my contract fiancé. Neil greeted me as I passed the sliding glass door and stepped into the corridor. He led me to the back of the interrogation room. Aren was inside, along with two technicians, recording Davies’s questioning. Aren smiled as I got closer, and then his eyes shifted to the back side of the two-way mirror that allowed us to observe the interrogation.
I took out my tablet and played the cleared fragment of the footage. “Here, this is what I’ve found.” I turned the screen to Aren.
He took the tablet from my hand and watched the part I selected closely. I could see his lips curving into a proud grin. “Excellent work, beautiful.”
“Thank you,” I replied, as a blush surfaced on my cheeks.
Neil’s eyes ping-ponged between Aren and me, our reactions to each other turning his lips into a mischievous smirk. He could barely stifle a laugh, but considering the situation and the fact that I was in a good mood, I decided to pretend I didn’t see it.
Aren passed my tablet onto Neil. “Give it to Ronald. Time to finish this farce.” Neil nodded and ran out of the room. Once he closed the door, Aren grabbed my hand and ‘intertwined our fingers. “You must be tired, aren’t you?” he asked, looking into my haggard
eyes.
He looked no better than I did. I doubted if he even found time to sleep that night. Yet, my heart fluttered at seeing his genuine concern. “You look tired too. Shouldn’t you rest so that you can manage your company properly?” I raised my eyebrows, giving him a mental nudge. He chuckled. “So you are not worried about me, but you are worried about my company instead?”
My eyes narrowed. “I worry about your company because I know that you are more concerned
about your business than your health.”
He shot me an amused glance. “Guilty as charged.”
A minute later, we could all observe Mr. Ronald Clark in action as he entered the interrogation room with my tablet in his hand. He showed the footage to Davies, and our mole finally broke down. He saved us all some time and confessed that he was the one who had given the hacker a chance to get into the system, but he refused to say who it was. He only said that he got paid
