Chapter 127 - Came up with a to-do list

Diana isn't the only one that started work today. As she made her way towards the elevator that leads to the chairman's office based on the information she got; she saw a girl in her early twenty, her bra length brown hair tied in a ponytail, eyes beaming with happiness as she constantly smoothen her black knee length gown.

'That's a new one.' Diana thought in her head and saw someone heading towards her.

"Please follow me." The middle age man dressed in a black suit said to her. She nodded and followed after him.

Diana had to admit to herself that this occupation of hers is indeed classic. Being treated with such respect by the chairman of this huge company is kind of funny, as she couldn't recall what the owner of her former workplace looks like.

"I'm Cain." The man in his late sixties, low curly hair, slightly giant with his height and well built body, despite her age said to her and extended his hand towards her.

Diana who was sitting in front of him on the sofa with a square shape brown table in between; stretched her hand and shook his. "I'm Emily Parker." she replied.

"Nice to meet you miss Parker." Cain said.

"Just call me Emily." Diana replied.

Cain nodded his head in understanding with a smile on his face.

"I have a few questions to ask you." Diana said.

"Please go ahead." Cain urged.

"How did those people died? Is the cause of death the same?. she asked.

"They all died in their house. That's according to what we heard. I didn't make much finding on it." Cain said.

"Why?" Diana asked, her back resting on the sofa, while she access Cain's expression on every replies to her questions.

Cain took a deep sigh. "If the fact that we investigated the case got out in the open; it means we're affirming to it being tied to this company." he said.

Diana sneered in her head, but still maintained a straight face. "Did anything happen in the company before all this started?" she asked.

"No." Cain replied flatly.

Diana asked a few more questions to help her get prepared for what is to come and Cain was very cooperative. He answered all her question like a professional.

There are questions Diana wished to ask, but recalled one of their lectures where is it stated that they weren't policeman and shouldn't take anything personally during their mission and just get useful information and get the deed done.

"That's all!" Diana said and stood up, shook hands with him again and walked out of his office. She's now officially a worker and need to start working.

Immediately she got to her assigned desk; unlike how her former workmates treated her like a disease; the ones here are quite friendly. Some walked up to her and asked her name as well as introducing themselves.

Before Diana could delude herself; she recalled she isn't as ugly as before. There's no protruded teeth and lips, and her fade marks were concealed by make-up. She has a beautiful shape and was dressed sophisticatedly.

'why wouldn't they be friendly?' She asked herself in her head as she smiled back at them. 'Most people only care about looks anyway.' she added in her head as some started asking her to confide in them if she has something she needs help with.

She brought out one of the scarf Ethan purchased for her and wrapped it around her neck. She studied everyone that approached her and none seem out of place.

The day went by quickly. She was giving some documents to work on, which were like a piece of cake to her.

It's finally closing hour. Diana's cheeks hurt from fake smiles, as she had to act friendly with these girls who kept giving compliments to how fast she gets her work done, her shape and all.

She just wished everything will end quickly. It's getting on her nerves. She breathes a sigh of relief immediately she got on the bus and was sure she wasn't being followed. Which means the first day at work went smoothly and the person or people aren't after her yet.

She can't wait to just reach home and feel Ethan's warmth.

...

Meanwhile..

Sitting inside his study, with a confounded expression, hair disheveled from being constantly ruffled; Ethan bit down on his lower lip.

Even though both of them were together now, it wasn't how he wanted it to be. He felt like their relationship just seem friendly like. Except their kiss; not much body contact. They eat, teased and laughed, but it's not enough for him. He wanted nice moments with her.

He didn't want it to be about work and work with her. He wants to spend time with her and get to know her more. There are lots of things they could talk about that shouldn't got related to work till she wished to tap on the topic herself.

But he isn't really good at these things. He wanted to try new things with her but didn't know much about what to do. He felt like a disappointment as a man. All this made him think back to how he had spent his life till now.

After battling his thought over and over again; he shamelessly took out a pen and an A4 paper, scribbled on it for a while, racked his brain and finally came with a to-do list.

His head hurt, but staring at what he shamelessly wrote, which is what he really wants and felt like Diana will love; he smiled and rested his back on the chair.

Diana who had no idea a certain someone is acting like a secondary school student who just fell in love smiled as she stepped into the house.

Seeing Ethan appeared in front of her; she realizes how much she wants to be with him. All her fatigue vanished immediately. She moved closer to him and buried her head in his chest and wrapped her arms around him.

"Let's stay like this for a while please." she said.

Ethan hummed with a smile on his face and held her tightly. "Let's go out today. I want to spend time with you." he said, and Diana nodded her head. "let's do that." she replied.
