Kyle greeted Lana with a wide smile as soon as he saw her entering the office.

  "Morning boss. That bastard will now surely rot in jail. There's no escape for him after all the evidence we gathered. Plus, some of his victims are now willing to cooperate and be witnesses seeing him behind bars at the detention center."

  Lana only nodded and walked directly into her office then sat down lazily on her chair.

  Kyle followed her. He creased his forehead and asked, "what's wrong? You look like you are in some kind of problem… We have succeeded in our mission, boss, but how come you don't look happy?"

  Lana gave him a half smile and replied, "yeah I am happy that we succeeded, but my husband did not like how I risked my safety to achieve it……"

  Kyle sat in front of her and said, "If I was your husband I would feel the same way boss. Didn't I also suggest the same to you? We could have someone else to do all such risky things instead of you."

  Kyle pointed out and Lana sighed. Yes Kyle did warn her several times, but her stubbornness always won over everything.

  Lana heaved another long deep sigh and said, "I was feeling very bad for Mica and I just couldn't compromise the mission and entrust it with anyone else."

  Mica was about to take her own life that day if she did not happen to pass by her office and see her motto signage. She promised the girl she would give her justice she deserved and in return she should live her life and move forward.

  "I'll go get you breakfast boss since it looks like you haven't had any yet. You will feel better when you get a taste of the sandwich stall nearby. They just opened a few days ago and my friend said it tastes really good," Kyle said as he stood up to leave her.

  Lana smiled at him and said, "Thanks Kyle…"

  The man winked at him before leaving. Kyle was three years older than her but he seemed more mature than his age. He was also good looking and Liam even joked with her not to be too close to her paralegal and forget her husband.

  "Liam…" Lana whispered with her sad voice. She once again checked on her mobile phone but still there were no words from him. She hoped Liam could at least read her text messages.

  She tried to concentrate at work the whole day despite her weariness because how many times she tried, she still could not contact her husband.

  Instead, she received a call from Luo inviting her for dinner together at the right time since she needed someone to talk with as well.

  Luo came directly to Lana's office that noon as soon as she was done with her work. She was still in a confused state so she wanted to seek Lana's opinion pertaining to Noah.

  She sighed as her eyes were on the road driving. Daryl was absent for work that day and she felt bad thinking about him. She read all his messages and she could feel the pain in them. She did not like her situation at that moment especially being the cause of someone's suffering.

  As soon as she arrived at Lana's office the two left together. They decided to go directly to Lana's apartment.

  "Wow I bet it's nice living alone… Your apartment looks really cool……" Luo commented when they got inside. She herself wanted to try living on her own as well but her mother would always beg her not to do so.

  She followed Lana who walked directly into her living room and helped her pick up and prepare the take outs in the paper bag since they just bought food from the drive through.

  "Well it's good since you are more free to do whatever you want. You know how parents can be so overprotective, but I also often go and see my mom on weekends. I actually went back to live with her since my marriage with Liam, though now that I'm doing fieldwork due to my new office, I chose to go straight here at those times especially now that Liam is not around… I don't want her to worry, seeing me reaching home so late often."

  The two sat on the opposite chairs and began to eat their dinner.

  "Have you heard from Liam today?" Lana casually asked.

  Luo shook her head and with a collided eyebrows asked, "Did you two have some kind of quarrel?"

  Lana chuckled and said, "yeah. It's actually the first time that he is so angry at me like this."

  Lana could not help and told Luo all that happened which made Liam so angry with her.

  "Oh Liam is a very overprotective man especially towards you, that's why I was able to convince him to let me work at Yao and be your ghost guard. But I agree with him as well that you shouldn't put your life at risk like that. Didn't you know how much he is worried? I bet he didn't even want a single ant bite on your skin…"

  Lana felt more sad that Luo had to scratch her head for rubbing more salt to her wound so she added, "But I'm sure he will contact you soon…"

  Lana nodded then recalled Luo said she had something to consult with her so she asked,

  "So tell me… What happened?"

  Luo narrated what happened after she left for the dessert shop to meet Daryl, so Lana said, "I think Noah has feelings for you."

  She then opened up to Luo how her relationship with Liam started.

  Luo had mixed emotions as she listened. In the end she pouted her lips and mumbled, "but that doesn't mean mine will have a happy ending like yours…"

  Lana laughed and encouraged, "it also doesn't mean that you won't have a happy ending like us…"

  'Could she really have a happy ending like Lana and Liam?' Luo mused. She told Noah that she would think over his offer first though her heart had already decided to accept it, but her sane mind was still in hesitation…


  Lana closely looked at her and asked, "Do you want to get married with him or not?"

  Luo bit her lip before she timidly answered, "yeah I want to…"
