I was so immersed in my research that I didn‘t realize there were close to ten people glancing over my shoulder. As I shouted, I instantly caused quite a tumult. I turned around and saw a few IT guys nervously gaping at the screen of the computer I was working on. “Inform Mr. Lan at once!” I heard someone shouting behind my back I glanced at the side of the room and registered one person that was far less agitated with my discovery than the rest of the department: Davies. He stood in the corner with a sulky face, his arms tightly crossed over his chest. “It appears that I was correct, Mr. Davies,” I smirked triumphantly. “Congratulations,” he barely squeezed out of his throat. “You will congratulate me once I find the thief who stole those files,” I claimed confidently, looking him in the eyes. 

I couldn‘t tell whether Davies was simply dumb, or wanted to be seen that way. As I could now sense no hostility coming from the rest of his team, he seemed to be the only one displeased with what I found. Did I really crush his balls that much, or was it something else? A minute later, Aren strode into the room, instantly locking his eyes on me. “You found the evidence, didn‘t you?” he said, ignoring the rest of the IT specialists in the room. “Yes,” I confirmed, looking around to gather everyone’s attention before I started to explain, “I found a weak trace of spyware. I couldn‘t fully restore it, but with a partial code, I‘ve found I 

can confirm that it was used to turn the entire department‘s network online at a certain time. The spyware could also create a loophole in the system‘s security, granting the hacker easy access to files he or she wanted to steal.” 

“How do you know so much about this... worm?” one of the specialists asked. 

I smiled nervously, glancing at Aren. “I know that because... J‘ve created a worm like that 

myself.” 

Audible gasps filled the room while my fiancé smirked, “You used it to mess with the engagement party,” he said quietly, his tone seeking my confirmation, I leaned closer to him with a wicked grin. “I will neither deny nor confirm it.”
