Chapter 207
As Zinnia slowly woke up, she heard Yannis shouting angrily, “Toby, who gave you the guts to hide this from me?”
Zinnia’s body shook a little because she was scared. When she opened her eyes, she saw Yannis standing outside the office. His face was cold and serious, and his sharp eye
looked ruthless.
Toby stood outside, taking the blame. Five minutes before, after Yannis finished his meeting, Toby told him what happened. When Yannis heard Zinnia had been sprayed with a knockout drug, his face turned icy with anger.
Even though the drug’s effects had worn off, his face stayed dark. Zinnia got out of bed, opened the door, and softly called out,
“Yannis.”
Yannis said softly, “Zinnia, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere? I already had Roderick check you, and the drug is gone, so you’ll be okay. Sorry I let you go through this.”
Yannis’s cold face quickly softened. He walked over to her, his eyes full of worry.
“Yannis, I’m fine now,” Zinnia said softly after sleeping most of the afternoon. She did feet much better, though a dull pain still stayed in her lower belly–just her usual monthly pain, nothing to do with the drug.
“Yannis, I was the one who told Toby not to tell you. Please don’t scold him,” Zinnia said softly. She had just heard Yannis scolding Toby. She had never seen Yannis this before.
angry
Zinnia thought well of Toby. At that moment, Toby gave her a thankful look.
Yannis said, “I wasn’t scolding him.”
“Yannis, did you catch the person who went through your files? Did anything bad happen?” Zinnia asked worriedly. She knew if secrets of the company got into the wrong hands, the results could be very bad.
As Zinnia drifted off to sleep, she vaguely heard Yannis telling Toby to find someone to watch over her. ‘That woman only came into Yannis’s office because of me. If anything happens because of that, I’d never forgive myself,‘ she thought nervously.
Yannis said, ‘Got her. Don’t worry, Zinnia. Everything’s okay now. I’m done here, so let’s go home and I’ll cook your favorite food.‘
Seeing Zinnia still worried about others even though she wasn’t feeling well, Yannis felt a wave of tenderness. He reached out, his big, strong hand gently brushing her silky hair, giving it two soft strokes.
Yannis and Toby had already noticed strange things among the staff and had asked people to keep watch, just waiting for the mole to slip up.
Both of them had a feeling the mole would make a move soon. Their leaving the office for meetings was actually a planned move to give the move a chance to make a mistake,
Yannis usually didn’t allow women into his office–only male workers reported to him there. But he understood how hard it was for women to find jobs, and his company still gave chances to talented women, never underestimating what they could do.
Because Yannis didn’t like women in his office, Lila never got to go in.
But Yannis brought Zinnia with him. Since Zinnia wasn’t feeling good, he even made a special exception and let a female helper into his private lounge to care for her.

This gave Lila a perfect chance to act. To Toby’s surprise, the person he picked turned out to be the mole.
Toby only wanted to find someone to take care of Zinnia. They had other ways to catch the mole. But surprisingly, Zinnia’s
made it easier to find out who the mole was. presence
Lila had been paid off by the Shaw family, who had long wanted to work with the Perkins Group. But their deal didn’t match what Yannis wanted, so he kept saying no.
