Ch. 1176..1180: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 1176-1180

Chapter 1176

After some time, Nicole got up from the warmth of his chest and looked at him, "What are we having today?”

Jared looked at her dotingly and said, "Well, what do you want to eat?”

“Oat milk." Nicole looked at him and took the words right out of his mouth.

"Alright, I'll ask someone to bring it over.” Jared got up, picked up the phone, and dialed a number.

Then he made his way back to the bed and looked at Nicole. "Get up and go get ready. I think the food will be delivered soon."

"Okay." Nicole stretched, and got up from the bed to wash up while Jared accompanied her to the bathroom.

Love filled their eyes as they both stood and stared at each other in front of the mirror.

Hearing the ringing of the doorbell, Jared finished rinsing himself and walked over to open the door.

"Mr. Johnston, this is the meal you've requested for," the server said.

“Okay.” Jared took the tray and made a beeline for the dining room.

After a while, Nicole came sauntering out of the bathroom and into the dining room. The corners of her mouth raised when she saw that her food had arrived.

"Let's have our breakfast." Jared handed her a spoon. "So, are you going to Ike’s R&D lab after breakfast?"

"Yes, and what are you going to be doing today?" Nicole looked at Jared and asked.

"I'm going to investigate Henry today and the clues he had left behind.”

"Are there any leads yet? A man of his age will leave traces no matter where he goes.” Nicole looked at Jared in bewilderment.

"If he is using his real identity, it'll be very easy to find him,” he said. "However, I'm afraid that he’s not using his real identity, and to search for him then will be like finding needles in a haystack."

"Anyway. have a toast." Jared handed a piece of toast to Nicole.

"If you need help, I can make an arrangement for you.” Nicole looked at him, unsmiling.

"No, not for now,” he replied. "I'll ask you when it's necessary.”

“Alright, just let me know when you're ready. Anyway, I'm done eating. I'll go get change. Thank you for the breakfast,” Nicole said and took the initiative to plant a kiss on Jared's face before heading to the bedroom to change.

With a smile on his face, he got up and followed her to the bedroom, where he hugged her from behind, breathing in the fragrance of her hair, which left him feeling as though he was intoxicated. "I'm going to find you after I'm done."

“Okay.” Nicole turned around and kissed him in the lip, whereupon the pair broke into a session of passionate smooching.

After a while, Nicole pushed Jared away, and looked at him with a smirk, "I should go."

"I'll send you there.”

Jared then put his clothes on and ushered Nicole out of the hotel. Opening the car door, he said, "Watch your head.”

“Thanks.”

The pair entered the backseat, after which Max drove them to Ike's workplace.

“You have to get up and stretch after working for a while. You can't sit there all day, or it'll be like yesterday again,"

Jared instructed.

Nicole turned around, looked at Jared, and nodded, "Yes, I'll remember that.”

A smile of satisfaction played on Jared lips, and soon after, the car pulled up outside of Ike's factory building.

There, Jared gave Nicole a kiss. "I won't walk you in.”

"Okay. Be careful, okay? This place is not very safe,” Nicole reminded him with concern.

Chapter 1177

"Don't you worry.” Jared looked at her and smiled.

Jared allowed Max to drive away once he had seen Nicole entering Ike's factory.

"Ike." Nicole walked in and called out to him.

‘I'm here!’ Ike's voice came booming in from one of the directions.

Nicole followed the sound and walked over and saw that Ike was working on something beside a prototype of a manned flying car.

"What are you doing here?" Nicole walked over and asked.

‘I'm dismantling and upgrading it."

‘Ike, the reference value of this first-generation prototype is limited," she said as she looked him in the eyes. "Don't waste your time on it. You saw it at the science and technology exhibition yesterday. The renditions produced by our opponents are very different from what we have right here. We should go back to research and development immediately to see where the design department is going with this. We can also give them some fresh suggestions.”

Ike's eyes widened upon hearing those words. "What you've said is right. Let's go to the base immediately.”

"Wait. I'm going to back yesterday's data up from your computer,” she said. "I had left in a hurry last night, and I didn't get to extract it."

"Okay, let's go.” Ike led Nicole to the office.

“There's one more thing I wish to tell you." Nicole suddenly stopped.

"What's the matter?" Ike looked at Nicole with his brows furrowed.

"The people here can create accessories and other products for the manned flying cars, and they'll still have a certain share in the market by then. Don't waste too much time on the production of the complete cars. It won't be easy to compete with the major companies,” Nicole said. The words were purely well-meant advice.

"I'll think about it, let's go to the R&D base first.” Ike said while looking at Nicole.

‘Yeah.’ Nicole quickly extracted and unzipped the files on the computer before turning it off.

"Let's go.” Nicole looked at Ike.

"Okay."

Being the gentleman Ike was, he opened the car door for Nicole, after which he got onto the driver's seat and floored the accelerator, speeding off to the R&D facility.

"Nicole, you must have been really tired last night, right?” Ike chatted about that which had happened the night before.

"It's alright to be tired, but I've been on my rear for a long time, which was something you thought was funny.” Nicole smiled as she felt a little embarrassed.

"No, I think you tend to forget about yourself and everything around you when you're working. Otherwise, you wouldn't be like that.” Ike glanced at Nicole.

‘Gosh, her skin is so fair,’ he thought.

‘I have no choice. That's the nature of my work. Sometimes, I even feel as if I am not taking much care of my body. I'm glad I exercise all year around and am in great health, otherwise, I would not be able to take it," Nicole joked.

"Do you work out often too?" Ike heard Nicole talking about exercise and happened to strike up a new topic and interest between them.

"Yes, I work out almost every day,’ she replied. "Judging by what you just said, I guess you exercise regularly too?"

"That's right, but not necessarily every day. Sometimes I give myself a day off if I don't have the time,” Ike said humorously.

‘It's true that sometimes, there is no way you can do it if you don't have the time, but when you do, you be able to get into a routine, and that'll be good for the body."

"I'll take you to the gym when I have the time. To have a look around, of course." Ike said, extending an invitation to Nicole.

"Sure. I haven't exercised much for these past few days. I'll give it a try.”

Nicole could not let this opportunity pass. If it was Harvey who had invited her, she might have to think hard about it, but as it was Ike, it did not occur to her that she would have to think about it at all.

"Then it's a deal. I'll pick you up another day when I have the time and we'll go to the gym for a workout session together." Ike said, wishing to settle this matter as soon as possible, so that Nicole would not think of changing her mind.

"Sure, no problem,” Nicole readily agreed.

Chapter 1178

The car came to a halt at the parking lot of the facility, with Nicole and Ike getting down and walking off to the lab thereafter.

"Ms. Riddle, Mr. Ike." The lab guard greeted Nicole and Ike politely as soon as he saw them approaching the entrance.

‘Is everything fine here?" Nicole asked.

"Yeah, everything is fine as usual,’ the guard replied.

"Alright, thank you for your work,” Nicole said, after which she and Ike headed inside.

"Are we going straight to the design department?" Ike asked as he was walking beside Nicole.

"Yeah, We've just talked about this, didn't we?" Nicole replied to him sternly.

Upon arriving at the entrance of the design department, they swiped their cards, pushed the door open, and walked in. The chief designer, upon noticing that Nicole and Ike had entered the room, walked over to greet them. "Ms. Riddle, Mr. Ike."

‘How is the current design going for the team?" asked Nicole.

‘It's going well.”

‘I see. May I have a look?" Nicole asked the chief designer.

"Sure. Over here please." The chief designer extended his hand as a gesture of invitation, whereupon Nicole and Ike entered the meeting room.

Once they were both inside, the chief designer activated the plasma screen on the wall. "Miss Riddle and Mr. Ike, please have a seat. I'll need a moment to search for the data and show it to the both of you.”

"No worries." Nicole and Ike took their seats and waited.

After a brief moment, a rough sketch of the manned flying car appeared on the screen. Nicole and Ike's eyes met for an instance.

Then, they stared at the screen with frowns on their faces.

Noticing their expressions, the chief designer suddenly felt nervous. ‘We weren't informed that Miss Riddle would be coming in for an inspection today. Why are they making it seem like there is one?’

Nicole maintained her stare for a while longer and turned to Ike, "Do you have any comments?"

Ike looked at Nicole and thought for a moment before making his remarks, "Our design seems quite plain. If we were to compete in the industry based on appearance, I'm afraid well be behind."

The chief designer looked at Ike confusedly, "Mr. Ike, I didn't quite get what you were saying. Are there other companies researching on manned flying cars as well?"

"That's right. Miss Riddle and I were at a tech exhibition yesterday. We saw a conceptual design from a rival company there.

Although it's just a conceptual design, we could see that their vision for this flying vehicle is very advanced.” Ike explained to the chief designer.

‘What? There are other companies working on manned flying cars?" the chief designer asked, extremely shocked upon hearing the news, as he had no idea prior to being informed of this.

"Don't be surprised," Ike said. "Even if they are just researching on it, I'm quite sure they're at the same phase as US. Perhaps, they might be a little, but not far behind US in terms of progress

"If we can come up with a design that's a lot more attractive and practical, I think well be able to secure fifty percent of the market." Nicole looked at them firmly.

Without realizing it, her faith in this project had given the chief designer and Ike the confidence boost they needed.

"Now, let's discuss about how we should improve and modify our current design together.” Nicole looked at both of them, prompting Ike and the chief designer to respond with nods.

"Ms. Riddle, which part of the vehicle do you think we could modify?" The chief designer turned to Nicole.

Nicole looked at the current design and suggested, "I think we can make the hood a lot more angular and flashy. When people look at it, they'd find it more pleasant to the eye. Second in the list of priorities is to reduce the windage. We should try our best to minimize air resistance as much as possible, so it would be safer for it to fly. At the same time, it would be able to increase mileage in the air.”

After she was done speaking, Nicole turned to look at Ike, ‘What do you think?”

‘I agree with the both of what you have said. While considering this, we should produce a manned flying car fit for two. That would be a huge selling point too." Ike stated.

"He's right. This feature could win potential buyers over, provided it is within the same price range.”

Chapter 1179

"What is your opinion on this?" Nicole turned to the chief designer.

"I think all of your suggestions are great. We will modify according to both of your ideas as soon as possible."

"Alright. Well leave it to the design team. If you come across any difficulties, well always here for you. We can solve this together." Nicole eyed the chief designer with a serious look on her face.

"Alright."

"That's all for now," she said. "We're leaving. All the best to you!"

After Nicole had walked out of the design department with Ike, she turned to him and said, "You should head to the R&D department. I'll go back to my office now."

"Okay," he uttered.

Once Nicole had arrived at her office, she turned the computer on and sat down to continue working on the code, but after an hour or so, Jared called her on the phone.

"Are you working? Did you get enough rest?” Jared’s caring and gentle tone could be heard on the line.

“Yeah, I'm working now. It's only been an hour, and I don't feel tired at all." Nicole turned on the loudspeaker on and worked while chatting with him.

“Even if it has just been an hour, you should move around and stretch for a bit. Now, just put your work aside for a moment," Jared said in a commanding tone of voice.

"Okay, HI catch a break now,' Nicole agreed, though her fingers were still darting across the keyboard.

“Are you trying to fool me?" Jared asked. "I can hear you typing away on the keyboard."

"You have a good sense of hearing.” Nicole smiled and

"I'm standing up and taking a break now. There's no typing sound from the keyboard anymore, right?" reported Nicole.

"That's good. Move around a bit more. You can chat with me too while taking a break.” Jared replied assertively.

"Why are you so pushy? You want me to chat with you while taking a break. In that case, why would it still be considered a break? I'm hanging up,” Nicole balked.

"I've got no choice. This is the only way for me to know that you're actually taking a break," he said.

Jared was just worried about her. He knew that if they ended the call, she would return to her work without resting at all. He knew her all too well.

"Your little tricks," he said. “I'm telling you, it's best for you to not play any of them with me.” "Fine, you've caught me red handed. You win.”

"Oh yeah. By the way, weren't you looking into Henry's leads? How do you still have the time to call me?" Nicole suddenly remembered and asked.

"Max is looking into it. I'm in the car with nothing to do, and I suddenly thought about you.” Jared glanced out of the window. Max had been away for a long time and he had not returned yet.

"I see. Then you shouldn't be sitting in the car waiting. You should go and check things out,” Nicole advised.

"Why should I be out and about? Are you trying to suggest that, so that no one would be watching over you?" Jared asked, knowing that it was another one of Nicole's tricks again.

"When did you become this annoying?" she replied. "Didn't I tell you that I'm done with my break? I need to get back to work already.”

"Okay then." Jared looked at his watch.

Without realizing it, they had been talking on the phone for twenty minutes.

After hanging up, Jared looked at the entrance of the airport. After a short while, Max could be seen walking out of the doorway.

Then, he entered the car and turned to Jared, "Sir, this airport does not have any records of Henry boarding a flight.”

"Let's go to the next airport.”

"Okay."

Chapter 1180

Back in the office, Nicole had sat down in front of her computer once again and had continued working. After typing for a while longer, she stopped and copied a document into her USB drive. Then, she shut the computer down and made her way to the R&D department where Ike was.

She swiped her access card and walked in to a room full of people who were busy researching of the chips.

Upon finding Ike, she walked over and said, "I've created a design for the first-generation of chips. You can have a look with your team."

"That's quick!" Ike looked at Nicole in shock.

"It's a simplified version. If it looks fine in every aspect, but I'll go into the details," Nicole explained.

"Okay, let's have a look," he said.

Ike then proceeded to call a few chip experts over. "Miss Riddle has designed a simplified version of the chip. Let's see if we could work on it."

Now in the office, Nicole and the team began discussing the feasibility of this simplified chip, and after two hours they concluded that the design was excellent. All of them looked forward to the final complete version from Nicole.

"As everyone thinks that this design is usable, I'll continue working on it." Nicole said, and was about to leave when one of the men stopped her.

"Ms. Riddle, I'd suggest for you to design it up to a certain phase and bring it over for US to experiment it again. This is to check if there are any alterations needed during the process."

"Yeah, I thought so too," she replied and made her way back to her office where she continued working on the chip again.

Outside of the other airport, Jared watched as Max walked back into the car.

"Are there any leads?” Jared popped the question before Max could even begin reporting.

"Yes. There was a record of Henry's wife boarding a flight here," Max replied.

Jared frowned and asked, "Did she board the flight alone or with someone else?”

"Alone."

"Quickly send someone over to keep watch at her arrival hall,” Jared ordered.

"Understood," Max uttered.

‘Henry is as sly as a fox,’ Jared thought. ‘They must have left separately and planned to rendezvous at some other location. I'll make sure I get that rat from his hole.’

“Let's head back to the hotel now,” Jared said.

Hearing that, Max started the engine and made his way toward the hotel.

On the way there, Jared called Nicole on the phone again. "Hey, are you at Ike's factory?"

"No, I'm at the lab. Why are you calling me again?" Nicole asked, working as she answered Jared's call.

“I'm done with work here,” he replied. ‘I thought of visiting you, but it's fine since you're at the lab. I'll head back to the hotel first and pick you up later.”

Jared felt a little sad, as she was at the lab, where he had no access. If she was at the factory, he would have been able to keep her company.

"Okay, you should head back and get some rest first. I'll be back as soon as I'm done with work here. Bye now." Nicole immediately hung up after she had uttered the last word.

Meanwhile, Harvey was in the hotel, feeling extremely bored. Ever since Jared had taken Nicole away, Harvey had never seen her again. Not able to withstand it anymore, he went up to Kelly's room and knocked on the door.

"Kelly?"

"Mr. Harvey, how may I help you?" Kelly stared at Harvey at the door and asked.

"Uh, what are you doing?" Harvey asked, pretending to care about her as it would be awkward for him to ask Kelly about Nicole.

"Nothing. Do you want to come in?" Kelly asked as she felt that it was impolite of her to speak to him at the door.

"Sure." Harvey entered and sat down.

"Kelly, how long did Nicole say we'd be here for?"

"About a week or so. Is something wrong?" Kelly looked at Harvey with her brows raised.
