"But I haven't finished this account yet…" Diana complained.

Brian realized that maybe it was not good to have Diana in charge of the Anderson's Drugstore. She was now a complete workaholic.

Still, he managed to force Diana out of the office to a nearby restaurant for lunch, even if she did spend most of the time worrying about work things.

That evening, Brian drove Diana back to the villa.

When they got back, Diana realized they were alone in the house. It hadn't been that way for a long time, and she felt a little uncomfortable.

After her shower, Brian called Diana to try some coffee he had just brewed.

Since she had just finished her shower, Diana didn't have time to dry her hair. She was eager to try the coffee, so came rushing down, then took it straight to her favored rocking chair to relax.

Suddenly Brian stood up and walked away. A moment later, he came back with a hairdryer in his hand. Then he put a chair behind Diana.

Diana was so surprised at what he was doing that she even stopped sipping her coffee.

And in a loving manner, Brian began gently drying her hair. His rough hand sometimes brushed Diana's skin, which sent shivers down her spine.

Brian smiled but didn't say anything to make her embarrassed.

Brian put the dryer aside and was about to have a cup of coffee when his phone rang. He answered it, listened for a while, then screwed up his face in anger.

"What?!" Brian shouted down the phone.

"What's wrong?" Diana asked. She had almost never seen Brian in such a rage.

He hung up the phone, then said to Diana, "Emergency at the company, I have to go."

"I will go with you." Diana immediately understood this was something serious and got up to follow Brian.

He didn't refuse, so they two went to the company together.

The assistant had been waiting anxiously in front of the door for a long while. When Brian arrived, she went straight to him.

"Mr. William, the man has gone." She was scared, waiting for Brian's anger to erupt.

"How did he get away?" Brian was furious and ran upstairs.

Diana began to follow, then turned around to the assistant and asked, "What happened?"

It was an open secret that Brian was in love with Diana and trusted her very much. Hence the assistant considered she could be trusted.

"There is a mole in our company. They have already stolen a large amount of company funds."

Diana was surprised. "How could this happen?"

Her words made the assistant feel guilty. "Mr. William told me to watch his office, but I messed up, and the man got away."

The assistant clearly felt bad about it, so Diana comforted her, "Don't blame yourself. The man must have been well prepared. He managed to get inside, and it seems he had a solid escape plan."

Unfortunately, the assistant was inconsolable. Diana could do nothing but walk away.

In his office, Brian found that everything was still in its place. It meant that the man had known exactly what he was looking for.

"Go and check what was stolen," Brian told his assistant, kneading his temple.

By now, Diana had appeared at Brian's side, and she wasn't happy.

"If I didn't come with you today, would you have told me the truth?"

"Diana, I…" Brian wanted to explain but didn't know-how.

"Okay, stop it. Let me ask you a question. Do you really want me to be your girlfriend? Is that what you truly want?"

"Of course I do. I love you," Brian replied strongly.

"Good. Then it would be best if you didn't conceal things from me. Whatever problem you come across, we can face it together."

Brian was moved by her words and pulled her into his embrace.

"Diana, you are amazing."

Vera leaving him at a difficult time in the company had taught him to hide his feelings, even from his lover. But Diana had changed him. She was so different and genuine.

They two held onto each other tightly.

The assistant, still checking things in the office, was a little embarrassed. But suddenly, she found something. Then she had no problem in interrupting the two lovebirds.

"Mr. William, come look at this…"

"What's wrong?"

"This financial statement, it's gone."

"Is that the only one missing?"

They looked over the statements for a while. It seemed there was only one that had been taken.

The assistant turned to leave Brian to it when Brian called out one last thing,

"Don't forget to set up a camera in my office tomorrow."

"Will do, Sir. Goodnight."

Looking at Brian's worried expression, Diana was concerned.

"Is it serious?"

She stared at him with her sparkling eyes. Brian could not bear to hurt her feelings, but still, he decided to tell her the suspect he had in mind.

"Diana, I know that you think highly of Kyle, as he is your senior schoolmate and always cared about you, but I have the strong suspicion that he is the one behind this incident at the company. The money was stolen not long after Kyle assumed the position of CEO. That cannot be a coincidence. Overall, he is the one who has the clearest motivations to do it."

After he finished his point, Brian felt uneasy. He was not sure whether Diana would believe him or not.

"Maybe you are right. I do think he is different from before."

Brian was surprised. She believed him! But she had trusted Kyle so much before. What happened?

"Brian, I suspect that he is not only involved in the money issue but also Carol's death."

Then she added in a determined voice, "Brian, let's find out the truth together."

In an alley next to the William Building, Kyle was waiting in the dark.

A man in black slipped in and handed what he had stolen to Kyle.

But when Kyle was about to pay him, the man refused.

"Keep the money. Brian has already discovered there was someone in his office and that something was stolen. The statement in your hand could be useless already."

"How could this happen?" Kyle's hand shook with rage.

"Be more careful next time." And as quickly as he'd arrived, the man left.

Kyle took out his lighter and set the doc.u.ment on fire. Once he was sure there was nothing left, he drove away.
