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…

“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.

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?”
