Aiden’s POV I don't know why I called Deigo. I didn't really have anything important to talk to him about. I probably just didn't want to see the two of them together. The sight of them together didn’t sit well with me for some reason. Deigo and Riley seemed to be getting along well, and it made me feel uncomfortable. I tried to shake off the feeling, but it lingered. Knowing that they slept together here burned some sort of emotions within me. I cleared my throat snapping out of it before sitting down and asking, “Why were you two together?” He gave me a simple explanation, which made me feel relieved. Deigo has always been a kind-hearted person, otherwise he would not have chosen to be a policeman. It’s not like I don’t trust him for questioning him but I just wanted things to be clear. Besides I didn’t want him getting involved with my assistant. I still feel uncontrollable jealousy when I think of Riley turning to him for help when she is in trouble. I mean I agree I may

Riely’s POVI turned my stare back to Aiden displeased by his question.Who did he think he was? Why was he questioning me? Besides, I didn't do anything. I was the one who was locked up.I should be the one angry and not him, he has no rights.Frustration crept within me it was almost hard to hide it.I decided to ignore these mixed emotions for the time being. I walked out of the room and into the hallway.At this time, my colleagues had already come to work one after another.I turned on the video on my phone and said, "Aiden, this is the surveillance video that Deigo and I found last night."It was time I proved my innocence and ended all of this.Jessica was shocked and tried to snatch my phone, but Aiden stopped her, took my phone, and watched the video in silence.I smirked in satisfaction folding my arms to my chest knowing that there was absolutely no way she was gonna win this time.Aiden asked, "What did Molina do to your computer?""Apparently Riely’s computer was infected

Riley’s POVDiego asked me to try remembering some of the times when I was not at my computer, which would help him quickly find the corresponding surveillance videos.I thought about it and realized that apart from getting off work, I was not at my desk only during lunchtime.Diego quickly called up the surveillance videos of the lunch breaks in the past three days and checked them bit by bit.We sat there for over an hour, watching the videos. I was getting anxious, wondering if we would ever find anything.I wanted us to pick up something, and prove my innocence.Finally, after more than an hour of searching, when it was completely dark outside, Diego finally found something.He asked me to go over and I immediately recognized the person near my desk as Molina.How could it be her?Well of course.After all she’s Jessica’s puppet it has to be her.Jessica is so smart she’s using Molinw as the bait.How pathetic of her.In the surveillance video, Molina inserted a USB drive into my

Riley’s POVI thought of several ways to solve the problem. Confront her directly? No, she would not admit it and I am sure of that, it could even make things worse.Search her office secretly? No, she would not leave the evidence in such an obvious place in the office. I mean Jessica is way smarter than that.Give up the proposal directly? No, I don't want to give up my dream, I’ve worked so hard and come this far the last thing I will do is give up. Besides, Aiden will definitely be disappointed in me.And it wasn’t something I wanted.It seems that I can't solve this case so quickly by myself. But who could help me?The thought of Diego suddenly clicked in my head. He told me that he was a police officer! He must be very good at investigating crimes. This level of case must be a piece of cake for him.Of course he’s my only chance.I called him and he happened to be off work that day. He said he would come over after I got off work and help me check the surveillance to see if there

Riely’s POVI couldn't believe my eyes. My design drawings have all disappeared! How could this happen? I was panicking and shocked. The team members were also whispering, and I seemed to see the mockery in their eyes.I have never felt so stupid in my life.I know my designs were here yesterday, what then happened to them?How could they suddenly vanish?"See? Jessica was right. She confused the boss with her mediocrity," one of them whispered.I felt like I'd been punched in the gut. I looked around the room, hoping someone would come to my defense. But no one did.Tears had already begun to accumulate at the brim of my eyes as I thought of ways to defend myself but none came.I looked to Aiden for some support. Aiden’s brows were furrowed, and his eyes showed disappointment.My heart sank.I thought Aiden was on my side, but now I'm not so sure. Of course he wouldn’t be, I mean my designs are nowhere to be found, everyone has his accusing gaze on me.I felt so stupid, and wanted no
