Ch. 1006..1010: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 1006-1010

Chapter 1006

Chloe lowered her head in shame, not daring to meet his eyes.

"I was in a traffic jam on the way.That was why I was late."

Jared did not believe her excuses at all, nor did he want to argue with her.He just focused on what mattered.

"You don't have to come here again, as we have decided not to use you for the new product endorsement this time."

"Mr.Johnston, did I do something wrong?" Chloe looked at Jared with confusion.

"It's not your problem.This new product and your temperament don't match," Jared said.

Chloe's eyes suddenly lit up when she saw Nicole, who had makeup on her face.

Combined with what the director said just now, she had guessed the reason: it must be Nicole who stole her endorsement.

'I have not had time to settle the score with her for the last incident, and now she is trying to steal the endorsement from me.She really takes me for a fool?"

Chloe gave Nicole a displeased look.

''I didn't know that you were here, too." Nicole said nothing but just nodded.

Seeing Nicole said not a word, Chloe was embarrassed but quickly found a way out of it.

"I think Mr.Johnston is right.This new product really doesn't match my aura, and it is also a bit of a clash with my time slot.But I still hope Mr.Johnston's new product will be a big seller.I will leave you to it then, as there are other things waiting for me to get over there." Chloe looked at Jared and said goodbye.

"Kelly, stay here.You don't have to follow me anymore."

Chloe looked at Kelly, who was the assistant assigned to her by Johnston Group.

"Come here, Kelly."

Nicole beckoned Kelly to her side.Kelly left Chloe and went to Nicole.

Chloe had asked Kelly to stay, but seeing Kelly go with Nicole was still upsetting.

"You will follow me from now on," Nicole said before Chloe could walk out.

"Okay."

Kelly was a bit confused, as she thought she was going to be promoted instead of remaining as an assistant.

But judging by Nicole's relationship with Jared, she suddenly felt that following Nicole might be even more rewarding than being promoted to a minor position.

"Since the results are good, Miss Riddle will be the product spokesperson for the new product," Jared told the director.

The director nodded his head vigorously in acknowledgment.Her identity aside, Nicole's outstanding performance had already earned his approval.

"Let's go back and rest," Jared said to Nicole.

"Okay."

"Kelly, you are given the day off.Go home and get some rest," Nicole turned around and said to Kelly.

"Thank you, Miss Riddle."

"You can call me Nicole from now on."

"Okay, Nicole."

Nicole and Jared left the shooting scene.

"Mr.Johnston, your uncle is waiting for you in the office." Max walked over and reported.

‘Why did he not stay at the branch and come to the headquarters instead?" Jared thought as he walked.

The office door was pushed open as Jared and Nicole walked in.Henry got up at once to say hello.

"Jared, Miss Riddle is here too?" Henry looked at them with a smile on his face.

"Uncle Henry, what's the matter with coming over here today again?"

Jared sat back in his chair and looked at him indifferently.Henry came to Jared's desk, his face slightly grave.

"You know about the project that the branch is doing now, right?"

"Yeah.Why?"

Jared watched as Henry put on his show.Henry sighed and looked at Jared helplessly.

"The international price of raw materials has doubled again.We could barely purchase it last time.And now, we are quite overwhelmed by the increase.If the price continues to rise, soon we won't be able to purchase.If that really happens, I hope the headquarters can provide us some support."

Jared looked at Henry and understood the intention of his visit, which was to pre-empt his support.

"The prices now are soaring high." Jared did not dismiss him outright.

 

Chapter 1007

"Yeah."

Henry was still echoing.

"But according to my observation, such a situation will not last long; prices will decline soon.The most important thing at this time is not to stock up but just keep the project running normally.Wait for the best time to stock up again in large quantities."

Jared gave him instructions on how to handle it.Henry, still not hearing the answer he wanted, nodded.

"Certainly."

"Is there anything else?" Jared looked at him.

"By the way, I heard that the new product’s endorser has been changed."

Henry looked at Jared with displeasure as Chloe was his recommendation, and Jared did not even give him a heads-up when replacing Chloe.

"Uncle Henry is really quick in getting the information.You already heard what I just dealt with on my end," Jared sneered at him.

Henry could not have understood better what Jared meant by looking into his eyes.

"Oh, I just ran into Chloe when I came over.I asked her when I saw her, something was not right about her expression," Henry quickly explained.

Otherwise, the nature of what he said just now would be different.

"That is fine.You get busy.I will leave you to it."

Henry did not dare to stay a moment longer and immediately left.

"Jared, it looks like he has gone a little overboard with his eyes on your side," Nicole warned.

"Max." Jared picked up the phone.

"Mr.Johnston."

"Find out who tipped Henry off about Chloe's replacement," Jared instructed.

"Okay."

Max put down the phone and went to work immediately.

Putting down the phone, Jared looked over at Nicole.

"Looks like the trip is going to have to be postponed."

"Yeah, I'm going to be busy with work starting today."Nicole glanced at him helplessly.

Jared came over and hugged her to assure her.

"We will shoot this endorsement in a few days, and then we can still go on the trip."

"Really? It will only take a few days?" Nicole snickered.

Seeing that Nicole became happier, Jared gave her a doting scratch on her nose.

"Yeah."

"Then I will go ahead and plan now."

Nicole took out her phone and checked it.

Jared shook his head helplessly, wondering if all women were such wonderful creatures, so much so that they were different every second.

"Then take your time.I will work over there."

"Okay."

Time at work always passed quickly.

Nicole felt her stomach growling after seeing only a few places.She looked at the time, and it was already noon.

"Jared, what are we going to eat for lunch?" Nicole asked.

"What would you like?"

Nicole thought for a second and said, "How about a steak at the Blue Whale Restaurant?"

"Sure.I will have Max make a reservation."

"Max, make a reservation at the Blue Whale Restaurant for lunch," Jared instructed.

"Okay, Mr.Johnston."

"I have asked Max to book it.We will be there as soon as I finish my work."

Jared looked at Nicole and smiled gently.

"Okay.I will take another look then."

Nicole happily picked up her phone and continued to check out the travel guide.

After about twenty minutes, Jared stood up and walked over to Nicole.

"Let's see what you've been looking at."

 

Chapter 1008

Nicole held up her phone to show him.

"The view is magnificent, and I can even feel the fresh air through the screen."

"It does look good as a travel destination." Jared agreed with Nicole's choice of this place.

"Oh? You like it here a lot?"

"It looks pretty good.Don't you like it, too?"

"Hmm, then this will be the first destination for now." Nicole bookmarked the destination.

"Let's go to lunch."

Jared took Nicole's hand and headed out the door.

Jared drove Nicole to the Blue Whale Restaurant.

The restaurant manager was already waiting at the entrance, and he came down the steps to greet Jared when he saw the car.

"Welcome, Mr.Johnston."

Jared looked at the manager and nodded, then walked into the restaurant with the manager leading the way.

"Mr.Johnston, this is the private room prepared for you." The manager was very polite.

"Can we sit outside?" Nicole asks Jared.

"You want to sit outside?" Jared asked back.

"Yeah?"

Nicole did not like the constraints of sitting inside the private room.

In contrast, she preferred the spaciousness of the main dining hall.

Sitting in the window seat, she could not only enjoy the scenery outside but also feel the hustle and bustle inside.It was a comfortable atmosphere.

"Please arrange a table by the window in the dining hall."

Jared could accommodate everything Nicole wanted because he had no opinion about where to eat.

"Okay.Please follow me."

The manager was slightly surprised but did not dare to delay a bit.

"Miss Riddle, do you think this table is okay?"

The manager chose the best spot in the hall.Nicole looked at the manager and was pleased.

"This is a great spot.Thanks."

The manager was flattered.

"It is my honor to serve you and Mr.Johnston.I will leave you with it.Enjoy your meal."

With a wave of the manager's hand, a waitstaff came over to take their order.

"I would like a set of the signature dishes," Nicole ordered a favorite set for herself.

“I will have one just like hers," Jared said to the waitstaff.

Nicole did not expect him to order the same thing as she did and looked at him with a smile.

"Are you sure you want to eat the same as me?"

"What is the problem?" Jared frowned at her.

"No problem, just afraid you might not be used to it,"

Nicole explained but seeing that he was willing to order the same dishes, she secretly felt happy.

"Is there still a lot for you to do at the office right now? I see the new product is back online."

"No, it has been easier for me, and the new product doesn't need my constant attention." Jared looked relaxed.

"Is that so? But why do I feel like you're busy every day?"

If she waited for him at the villa, it would feel like a long day.

"It is okay.Maybe it is because you could only see me at night, so it feels like I have been busy."

"Now you can come with me to the office, and you shouldn't feel lonely."

Jared sensed that Nicole must be bored at the villa by herself.

"Mm.It is not something I'm good at, but it will be nice to be in the same building as you."

"If you will, I can arrange a position for you at the company." Jared looked at her with serious eyes.

"A position? Forget it.I don't like a nine-to-five job.It is acceptable to spend time with you occasionally, but if I repeat the same thing every day, I just can't do it."

Nicole was very true to her own thoughts, and she did not have to worry in front of Jared; she could say anything she wanted.

Chapter 1009

Chapter 1009 "So, what do you like to do?"

Jared wanted to help her find something to do.

"You know who I am.I could be out at any time, so following a prescribed routine is something I'm not going to do.If I can't start well, I won't start at all.Here's the meal.Let's try it."

Nicole could not wait to pick up her fork when she saw the meal she had ordered.

"So good."

Nicole complimented as she took a bite of the appetizer.

"Is it really that good?"

Jared looked at Nicole's exaggerated expression.

"Yeah.Try it if you don't believe me."

Nicole raised an eyebrow at Jared.

Jared picked up the spoon and took a sip.

It tasted fresh and delicious with a rich mouthfeel.He was instantly conquered.

"It looks like you're a connoisseur."

Jared endorsed Nicole's tastebud.

"That's not really true, but it's delicious for sure."

"Jared, what do you know about Curley Corporation?"

Nicole remembered seeing Jared at the launch event and thought he would know something about Curley Corporation.

"You're interested in Curley Corporation?"

Jared looked at her.

"Sort of.The Brave robot they produced looks awesome."

Nicole still had a vivid memory of it.

"That robot has a lot of features and is worth promoting if it can serve humans.But there is one thing that worries me."

Jared's face turned serious.

"You mean..."

"Hmm."

Jared did not say it out but just looked Nicole in the eye and nodded.

"Curley Corporation's main business is the AI machinery.Over the years, they have sold their AI products worldwide.So, we can say that they are a very strong upstart."

Jared's evaluation of Curley Corporation was fair.

After all, its global reputation was there.

"Plus, the launch of Brave some time ago caused an international uproar and much fame."

"Curley Corporation, as an upstart, has achieved so much in just a few years.They must have a powerful person inside the company," Nicole said.

"Yes, the chief engineer at Curley Corporation is a very talented and interesting person."

Jared talked about that engineer with great interest.

"And have you met him?"

"Yeah.Just the last time I attended the launch event."

"How come I didn't see him there?" Nicole asked.

"He wasn't at the launch event.I met him outside."

"So how did he position Brave? Did you guys talk?"

Nicole looked at Jared curiously.

"His position on Brave was that it was for humanity."

Jared remembered that chat well.

Hearing that, Nicole was relieved, as such a positioning was acceptable to her.

"I hope that will be the case.But you know, there are many people who are eyeing Brave right now?" Nicole said with a straight face.

Jared glanced at Nicole and asked, "Are you guys encountering some kind of problem?"

"There are problems, and if they are well controlled, they would be defused.If they are uncontrollable, they may lead to disaster."Nicole looked at Jared with serious eyes.Looking at Nicole's serious

expression, Jared got what she meant.

"If you need my help, feel free to ask."

He was willing to do his small part to maintain world peace.

"Thanks.I'd like to meet the chief engineer if that's convenient."

Nicole stated her purpose straightforwardly, and that was what she wanted to say.

 

Chapter 1010

Jared pondered for a second.

"I will contact him, and if he is willing, I will accompany you to meet him."

"Thank you." Nicole looked at Jared with a serious face.

"Cheers."

"You don't have to be so polite with me."

Jared did not like the feeling of distantness.

Nicole let out a heartfelt smile, thinking this meal was so worth it.

If she could get to know the chief engineer, she could learn a little more about Brave.

"There is no more filming today.Are you still going to the office this afternoon?" Jared asked with a sudden change of topic.

"Do you want me to go?" Nicole asked rhetorically, without answering.

"I do want you to go, but if you have other things to do, you don't have to go to the office."

Jared expressed his thoughts, and the decision was put back in Nicole's hands.

"Since you want me to accompany you, I will accompany you, no matter what."

Nicole was not being subtle this time, as she openly expressed her thoughts.

Jared looked at her with a big smile on his face.

The view outside the window was just so right.

A few days later, Nicole was at the villa when she received a phone call from Martin.She thought there was a problem with the lab and immediately sat up to answer it.

"What's up, Martin? You called so early."

"The Beacon is completed!"

Martin shouted excitedly on the other end of the phone.

"Is it true what you said?" Nicole asked again.

"Yeah.Is it convenient for you to come over now?"

Martin wanted to share the joy of the moment with Nicole.

"Sure.I will be right there."

Nicole changed her clothes and drove toward the hospital where Martin was.

When he arrived at the lab, Martin was holding The Beacon in his hands excitedly.He could not get enough of it.

"Is that The Beacon you're holding?"

Nicole had seen what Martin was holding before she even approached.

Martin nodded vigorously.

"Come and see."

Nicole quickened her pace.

"Is this the finished product of The Beacon?"

"Yes.What do you think?"

Martin looked at Nicole with an excited look on his face.

"It looks great.How do I use it?"

Nicole looked at the tiny Beacon, not knowing how to get started.

"It can be worn in any position you find convenient, and that is the biggest difference between it and the first generation," Martin explained proudly.

"Is it that convenient?" Nicole looked at Martin in disbelief.

"Yeah.You may try it."'

While speaking, he handed The Beacon to Nicole.

"Do you really want me to be the first to try it out? Are you sure?"

Nicole had said that before but was actually just joking.

"Pretty sure.I think you are the best person for the job."

Martin looked at Nicole with serious eyes.

"Okay."

Nicole then wore The Beacon on her arm.

"You haven't taught me how to use it yet." Nicole looked at Martin.

"See the button here?" Martin pointed.

"Yeah."

"If you are poisoned, press the green button right away, and common poisons can be broken down quickly.Even when you encounter a powerful toxin, The Beacon can help you inhibit the spread of the poison in the quickest possible time, giving you time to detoxify yourself,"

Martin explained this powerful feature.
