Chapter 329: Taken
No wonder. It was weird for her to be so grateful for something as useless to her as a lipstick, but if it was a USB flash drive in disguise, it made perfect sense. Flynn must have meant to give her important information. Considering where he worked, he must have investigated something for her and the flash drive must contain whatever had been found out from his research.
What didn’t make sense was, why had she dumped it? He was sure that she had not had the chance to watch it yet. Besides, even if it happened that she had secretly watched it or copied the content elsewhere, why did she drop it so carelessly? What if someone else found it?
He thought through all the consequences and decided that it would be best if the flash drive was disposed of in a better way, aside from being dumped in a trash can where someone else could see it and be curious of the content.
Of course, curiosity was killing him and he so badly wanted to check what was in it. However, he knew that she might be mad at him if that happened, so he decided that he would destroy it unless she allowed him to check the content.
He secured it in his pocket but just as he wondered whether to leave, he heard the sound of running water. The door opened soon after and Luna stepped out, frowning when she saw him outside.
"Did you follow me?" She asked the question he was dreading to hear.
He nodded nervously like a child who had been caught red-handed and who had no choice but to admit his mistake. "I was worried about you."
She scrutinized his expression and wondered why he wasn’t asking anything. If he followed her, then shouldn’t he have seen a scene that wasn’t meant for his eyes? Her eyes darted to the trash can and when she saw that it was empty, she raised an eyebrow at him.
Muttering "dead" under his breath, he explained, "I was worried that someone else would find it so... I was going to destroy it."
