When they returned to Anderson’s drugstore, the employees had already cleared away the defective drug and replaced it with a good one.
Jason was in charge of the store, but since Diana was back, he was thinking of handing everything over to her.
Seeing this, Brian quickly pulled Diana upstairs to his office. This time, Diana didn’t refuse.
When they came out on the top floor of the building, Diana was shocked to find that her old office hadn’t changed at all.
“The office…” Diana wanted to ask, but she had no idea what she should say.
Brian hugged her from behind and said gently, “Surprised? It’s strange, although I lost my memory, I had a feeling about this office. I told myself I couldn’t do anything to it.”
Diana was moved by his words.
“Maybe deep in my heart, I still remember you, and this made me keep waiting for you,” Brian added.
Diana turned around. They could both truly feel the love between them now. Then Brian kissed Diana gently on the lips.
Business at the Anderson’s Drugstore was affected by the incident with the bad batch of medicine.
To make it better, Jason put forward an idea, which was to provide a discount to customers for three days. It would be ‘buy one get one free’ on everything in the store.
Diana didn’t want to overrule Jason and agreed it could be a good way to get things back on track.
Since there had never been such a sale in Anderson’s Drugstore before, the promotion attracted a lot of customers.
As the people streamed in and out of the drugstore, Diana’s worries about the state of the business were eased.
The customer volume had increased significantly, thanks to Jason’s idea.
“What are you looking at?” Brian asked as he handed Diana a cup of coffee.
“Nothing, I was just thinking about the business, I was pretty worried about that thing with Uncle Cook’s medicine…”
Brian chuckled. He had worked hard on persuading his employees to spread the news about the discount at the store.
“You’re lucky you have me, Diana, if not, there would never have been so many people!”
However, Diana did not take kindly to this comment.
“I don’t think so. Without your help, I could ask my friends for assistance. So could Jason. My friends have their own networks and contacts, the news would have spread widely regardless.”
Brian didn’t get annoyed at her defensiveness; instead, he chuckled.
“Well, Diana, since the business is going well, there is no need for us to cancel the contract, right?”
Diana went to leave. However, Brian pulled her into an embrace.
“Where do you think you’re going?”
Diana said nothing, staying completely silent.
“So, what do you think of my suggestion?”
Diana couldn’t help grinning and replied, “Depends on your performance…”
“What?” Brian pretended not to be satisfied with the reply. He tickled Diana playfully on her side. She was very ticklish, so she laughed loudly at Brian’s touch.
They two were playing and laughing, something the rest of the busy employees did not appreciate; how unfair the boss could play, but they couldn’t!
Not far away, there was someone keeping a constant watch on them. It was Antonette.
While Brian continued searching for her, she had no choice but to keep hiding, always on edge. While she led a hard life, Brian and Diana led a happy one. She could not bear it.
Brian had a look at his watch. It was approaching at half-past four.
“Abby will be finished kindergarten soon. Let’s go pick her up.”
Diana was a little jealous of her own daughter.
“Now you like her more than me?”
Brian thought this was funny and said in an exaggerated fashion, “So…do you envy your own daughter?”
“Fuc…” when Diana caught sight of the busy employees, she stopped short from saying what she wanted to. All she could do was glare at Brian.
Abby was often jealous of her classmates when they were picked up by both of their parents, as she was only collected by her mother.
“From now on, you can have the experience of your parents being together,” Diana thought.
However, just as Brian got in the car, someone called him.
Brian cursed in a low voice and then hung up the phone.
“What’s wrong?” Diana asked.
“One of the directors asked me to sign some documents. Now…” Brian replied, annoyed.
Fortunately, Diana comforted him right away, dispelling his guilt.
“It’s okay, you go back. It’s for business.”
“Are you okay to pick her up alone?”
“Of course. I’m used to it.”
“Be careful.” Brian kissed her on the forehead.
“Okay. Enough. Too sweet!” Diana said impatiently. However, she also had a smile on her face.
As Brian drove away in a hurry, Diana was about to take a taxi when someone grabbed her from behind and covered her mouth.
Diana struggled fearfully, but it was in vain. She was dragged away down an alley, to an abandoned house.
The person closed the door vigilantly and turned on the light. It was so bright that Diana could barely open her eyes.
As she grew accustomed to the light, she was finally able to see the face of her attacker.
“Antonette?!” Diana called out her name in shock.
