I told Lance Mason that I was really

bored at home.

He knitted his eyebrows and asked me, "What are you planning again?"

His expressions were like as if I was going to plot something stupid again.

"I'm just bored! I have nothing to do, I want to go work. I can't just stay at home everyday like that!" I explained. Lance immediately rejected my request without hesitation. I actually predicted his response, so I wasn't surprised.

"I'm just informing you, not asking for your permission." I rolled my eyes.

Lance gave me an irritated look and said, "I said no, means no. we are getting married soon, don't go out

anymore. It's dangerous for you out there, and you know it!"

Lance was always acting like a dictator, if he said no, I had to obey him. But too bad I wasn't the old me anymore.

"Your opinion doesn't matter to me. I don't care."

After a long pause, he surrendered, "Fine, but you have to work beside me, that's the maximum I can allow. Don't force me to do anything you will regret."

It was my intention to work beside him, I wasn't that brave to work alone, I was scared for my own life too.

Tacted like I wasn't very satisfied and gave him a small response after a short pause, "Well, fine."

Lance scoffed, "You don't seem very satisfied with my decision?"

I rolled my eyes at him and said, "Do you need me to be thankful? Since when was I ever satisfied after coming into your family?"

Lance glared at me and said, "Don't forget who raised you and gave you everything you needed to grow up!"

Strange, why was Lance acting so riled up today? Normally, he would try to be soft to me, to show me that he loves me, but why was he acting so fierce today?

Then, I finally realized when we started to have breakfast.

When we were eating our own meals, the TV in his dining hall was

showing the news. The news reporter was excitingly reporting about the new project that the Sands' Company started, they invented a new type of eco friendly biotechnology, and it would be released to the market the next day.

I took a peek at Lance's face. It was obvious that the data I sent to Niklaus was right, and Niklaus was very quick to make a move. He was one step quicker

than Lance.

llowered down my head and stared at my own food, forcing myself to eat. From the corner of my eyes, I saw Lance threw down his fork and spoon onto the table. "Are you happy now?" Lance's tone was cold. Very, very cold.

I pretended to be calm and cool and looked up at his face. "What are you talking about?"

I didn't want to admit, what can he do? He knew very well what I did, but as long as I don't admit, he can't do anything to me, since he said he 'loves' me.

He stared at me with clouded eyes

and said, "I won't be going to work this morning, we have the whole morning until

noon time for you to explain to me how you guessed my safe box password. Leo used to tell me you are a smart woman, I didn't believe him. Seems like I underestimated you huh. Don't judge a book by its cov say."

Of course I wouldn't admit that I stole his data no matter what, his password was way too easy to guess, but I kept that thought to myself.

I continued my innocent act, "What are you saying? I don't understand at all, what password?"

Lance laughed coldly. "Don't try to deny."

He stood up and grabbed my wrists. “What are you doing?!" II

exclaimed.

"To check the CCTV in the study room!" he yelled.
