Ch. 1241..1245: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 1241-1245

Chapter 1241

"These people must be bored out of their minds. They even came to the company,” Jared murmured, feeling displeased.

"Mr. Johnston, do you want to find something for them to do?" Max asked from the side.

"Only those who did not make a ruckus."

"Understood."

Jared got up and walked toward the office. Just as he sat on the chair to rest for a while, he heard a knock on the door.

"Come in." He really could not get himself a break.

Fiorella walked in with her heels clicking loudly against the floor. Jared glanced over and couldn't help sucking in a breath, 'How did she come here so quickly!’

"Ms. Fisher, what brings you here?” Jared teased. Fiorella understood the meaning of his words. She asked, "What do you mean, Mr. Johnston? What brought me here again? Do you not welcome me?"

"No way. My door is not for Ms. Fisher to causally enter whenever she wants,” Jared said with sarcastic remarks, but Fiorella did not care about it. As long as she could see Jared, she would be happy.

"Mr. Johnston, do you notice anything different about me today?” Fiorella twirled in front of Jared, looking at him with big watery eyes.

Jared did not understand, so he looked at her for a long time. However, he did not notice any difference. In fact, he did not care about her appearance at all.

"What's different?" Jared asked.

Fiorella's face immediately fell. "You are half-hearted, aren't you? You didn't take a good look at it.

"I'm wearing a newly bought skirt today.” She looked at him with a smile on her face.

Jared was speechless for a moment and thought, ‘What's there to be happy about in a dress? It's such a fuss. If it's not for a project I'm cooperating with her, I won't even bother with her at all.’

Jared did not show any indifference on his face but looked at her with slightly praised eyes. "Very beautiful.”

Fiorella's face blossomed with joy when she heard Jared's praise. “I knew it. You would think it looks great too."

"Please have a seat." Jared motioned for her to sit down. Fiorella sat opposite Jared and looked at him affectionately. "Are you working?”

‘Well, what seems to be the matter, Ms. Fisher?" Jared wanted to solve all her problems as soon as possible so she could leave.

"Why can I only come if I have something to do? Isn't your door open for me at anytime?’ Fiorella suddenly scolded him.

Jared was speechless. He could barely give a polite smile.

When Fiorella noticed that Jared did not speak, she knew her sudden visit had disturbed his work. "I won't disturb your work. I'll wait for you on the sofa,” she said with a smile.

"Ms. Fisher, don't you have a project to work on?” Jared wanted to remind her.

"There's Castor on the project site, so don't worry.” Fiorella had handed the matter over to Castor and then hurriedly went to find Jared.

Chapter 1242

"What? You put Castor in charge of it?" Jared looked at Fiorella in disbelief.

"Ms. Fisher, Castor has no practical experience. What if something goes wrong without your supervision?" Jared reminded her worriedly.

"Relax, don't worry. My assistant is there to assist him. Nothing bad will happen. Even if something happens, my assistant will call.’ Fiorella looked very calm.

"Mr. Johnston, do you have coffee?”

‘She wants me to brew coffee for her.

Jared really wanted nothing to do with her. ‘Why did Henry have to sign a contract with her back then?’ He picked up his phone and said, "Make a cup of coffee for Ms. Fisher’

"Ms. Fisher, I'm quite busy today. You're wasting time waiting for me here. Why don't I arrange some entertainment for you?"

Jared just wanted her to leave his office as soon as possible, even if it costed him a little money.

"Without you, there is no entertainment at all." No matter what Jared said, Fiorella was determined not to leave.

"Alright." Jared had no choice but to tear himself apart because of such a trivial matter. Instead of looking at her, Jared started to deal with the workload in his hand. He had already lost ten minutes talking to her just now. He could not waste too much him on her.

His assistant knocked on the door and walked in with two cups of coffee.’ Ms. Fisher, your coffee." Then another onto Jared's table. He gave her a wink, the assistant understood and left.

Jared continued to work while Fiorella was sipping coffee on the sofa while looking at Jared as if she was his girlfriend waiting for him to get off work.

"Mr. Johnston, your office lacks a bit of vitality. I'll send some flowers to decorate it later." Jared did not hear what she said at all, and then hummed.

On the side, Nicole had arrived at the sea view villa and had been chatting with Mrs. Wallace Sr. for a long while.

"Nicole, when will you come back from this trip?” Mrs. Wallace Sr. looked at Nicole with reluctance in her eyes.

"Grandma, I should be back soon this time.’ Nicole was unsure herself but saying this would reassure her to make her feel at ease.

“Alright. Tell me in advance before you come back. I'll cook some delicious food for you." Mrs. Wallace Sr. looked at Nicole with a kind smile. Nicole stepped forward and hugged her for a while, then let go, "Grandma, I'm leaving.”

Nicole got up and walked outside. When she came to the door, Nicole told Tia, "Don't ever leave grandma unattended. Keep up the good work.”

"No worries. Mrs. Wallace Sr. is just like my own grandma. Don't worry. The next time you come back, I promise to make her fatter,” Tia promised Nicole.

"You also need to gain some weight." Nicole looked at Tia with a smile.

‘I don't need it. I still need to be pretty.” Tia smiled sweetly.

"I'll be off now.’

"Remember to send US a message when you get there."

"I will. Bye grandma." After speaking, Nicole drives away from the sea view villa. She glanced at her watch, noticing some time left, and drove to Jared's office.

After the assistant walked out of Jared's office, she quickly called Castor. Fiorella was still leisurely admiring the scenery in Jared's office. When a call came in, she walked over to pick it up, and it was Castor's voice that came from the other end.

Chapter 1243

"Ms. Fiorella, there's something I need you to go through personally. Can you come over now?"

"What's the matter? Is my assistant around?’ asked Fiorella.

"There were some other matters to deal with, so he left for a while. If you're not coming, we most probably have to delay the progress.” Castor explained.

Fiorella replied with slight annoyance, "All of you are a useless bunch. Give me some time, I'm going over now.”

As soon as she hung up, Fiorella walked to Jared's desk and looked at him, "Mr. Jared, I'll have to attend to some matters about the project for a while. I'll come over later."

"Go on. I won't be sending you off then." Once Jared heard that she was leaving, he was inexplicably delighted.

"Are you that eager for me to leave?" Fiorella bent forward and stared at Jared.

Jared immediately leaned back, "It's just that your work there is much more important. You're overthinking it."

"Okay, I'm leaving now.” Then, Fiorella walked out.

Watching Fiorella leave, Jared felt relieved. Tve finally sent her away.’

Fiorella stood in the elevator lobby while waiting for the elevator to come up. Once a ‘ding’ sounded, the doors opened and revealed Nicole was in the elevator. The both of them stared at each other concernedly. The moment their gazes met, a silent competition grew between them.

Nicole slowly stepped out of the elevator and passed by Fiorella. After Fiorella had already entered the elevator, her eyes were still nailed to Nicole's back up to the moment when the doors closed.

"When did she return?" Fiorella was having a moment of shock in the elevator.

Nicole walked to Jared's office. When Jared's assistant noticed her approaching, he covered his mouth in surprise. He wanted to dial Jared and inform him, but it was too late. Nicole was already about to push the office door open.

Jared assumed that Fiorella had come back again. So, he looked up and was about to question her. But unexpectedly, he met Nicole's eyes.

"Why are you here?" Jared froze as a slight sense of guilt rose in him. But in a split second, his face broke into a surprised look.

Yet, Nicole still caught him. She teased him, "Why? Are you upset that I'm not the one you were expecting?"

"What are you talking about?” Jared pretended he did not understand Nicole’s words.

"Stop acting. I've already bumped into her just now.” Nicole did not have much time, so she spoke straightforwardly.

Hearing this, Jared immediately laughed, "You meant Ms. Fiorella?"

He purposely referred to her with a professional title and not her full name.

"Was there someone else here other than her?" Nicole sat right in front of him and looked at him sternly. She was waiting for him to explain himself.

"The both of you talked?" Jared asked carefully.

"No." Nicole looked back at him calmly.

Jared immediately sighed out of relief. ‘As long as Fiorella kept her mouth shut and did not spit nonsense, it would be easier for me to explain.’

"So, the thing is, Henry signed a project with Ms. Fiorella previously. Now that Henry isn't around, I..." As Jared was explaining, Nicole suddenly interrupted him.

‘I don't have much time today to listen to the whole story. Just tell me what she is here for today." A strong aura of pressure from Nicole was placed on Jared.

"She came today just to discuss the project.’ Jared spitted out a lie brazenly.

Nicole snorted, "This is my first time seeing someone wear a floral dress to discuss a project."

Chapter 1244

Nicole's words hit Jared hard like a slap that he had nothing to refute.

‘That is her personal matter. I have nothing to say.” Jared was still stubborn.

Nicole could see through him. 'He doesn't want to tell me the truth? That's fine. I'm not that interested in it anyways!’

"You should pay more attention to Martin's matters. He needs your help." Nicole looked at Jared solemnly. Then, she stood up and walked out.

‘Nicole, where are you going?" Jared immediately asked her.

Nicole did not reply to his question and walked straight out of the office.

From the window, Jared watched Nicole drive off in that Lamborghini. He quickly picked up his phone and called her. But even after a few calls, no one picked up the phone. Jared knew that Nicole was angry at him, so she would not take her calls. He stopped bothering her and thought of explaining everything to her clearly when he met her at night.

Then, he returned to his desk and continued working.

Time flew by quickly alongside Jared's pen, which was gliding away. When he looked up, it was already afternoon. So, he put down his pen and stood up to stretch. Then, he took his jacket and walked out.

As he reached his assistant's desk, he stopped for a moment." If Ms. Fiorella is here to see me, tell her I'm on a business trip."

"Noted."

Jared drove and headed to the sea-view villa. He knew that Nicole must have gone there, so he did not return to his own place.

Little did he know, Nicole was already on the plane and resting. Although her eyes were closed, the image of Fiorella at the elevator kept popping up in her head.

Nicole casually sat up, simply picked up a magazine, and flipped through it. She wanted to ignore Fiorella. But no matter what she was looking at, she could not forget Fiorella's provocative look at the elevator lobby.

In the end, she managed to forget it by watching a comedy reality show.

Jared's car slowly entered the sea-view villa's porch. Right at that moment, Tia turned around and saw the carthat drove in.

"Whose car is it?” Tia murmured and walked out.

She only recognized that it was Jared's car when she reached the porch.

"Mr. Johnston, why did you come?" Tia walked over to him.

"I'm here to visit grandma.” Jared did not explicitly mention that he was there to find Nicole. As he was worried that Nicole would speak harshly to him, Jared used Mrs. Wallace Sr. as a shield.

"Oh, come on in then." Seeing that Jared was here to visit Mrs. Wallace Sr., Tia did not say much and quickly let him into the living room.

Jared looked around and noticed that Nicole was not around. He was sure that Nicole hid in her room and sulked. He went to the sofa, sat down, and greeted Mrs. Wallace Sr. warmly,” Grandma, I'm here to visit you."

"You're quite a busy man. There's no need to visit me daily." If Mrs. Wallace Sr. had remembered correctly, Jared had just come over a day ago.

"Milady, Mr. Johnston is showing extra care for you.” Tia chimed in.

"Mr. Johnston, have some fruits."

"Thanks."

After being silent for quite some time, Jared carefully asked, "Tia, how was Nicole when she came back?"

Tia frowned and looked at Jared questionably. She thought that Jared was asking about the other day when Nicole had just returned home.

She tried to recall the scene from that day, "I think she looked pretty happy.”

When Jared heard that, he was stunned, "Happy? Why would she be happy?"

"Yeah, Nicole was very happy. She even chatted a lot with US." Tia replied based on her memory.

Jared was dumbfounded upon hearing Tia’s response. 'Why did Nicole talk about Fiorella to the family too? This is too embarrassing for me.’

"Tia, are you sure that Nicole looked happy on her face? Could you have read it wrongly?" Jared looked at Tia in disbelief.

Chapter 1245

"Read it wrongly? Did I read it wrong?" Tia lowered her head and tried to recall.

"That's not right. I remember Nicole was happy when she came back.” Tia took some time to think and replied to Jared confidently.

Jared was confused by Tia's response. 'No matter what, Nicole would not return happily. Unless...she lifted her finger on Fiorella? This seems like the only possibility.’

At that thought, Jared could not help but sigh. 'l guess things have gone too far this time around. I should've just explained everything clearly to her earlier at the office.’ Then, he decided to head upstairs and clear things up with Nicole.

Jared stood up and was about to walk to the stairs. Tia assumed he was about to leave, so she said, "Mr. Johnston, you've just arrived, and you're leaving already?"

"No, I'm going upstairs to see Nicole.” After Jared had finished speaking, he wanted to head upstairs.

"Upstairs? Mr. Johnston, don't you know that Nicole had already left?” Tia replied while looking at Jared confusedly.

"She left? Where to?' Jared asked Tia as he was clueless.

"Overseas? Didn't...she tell you?" Tia looked at Jared's surprised expression and wondered if she had accidentally said something she should not have said again.

"Which flight?” Jared asked Tia.

"I think it was the morning flight. She did not tell me about the exact time."

Jared recalled everything. ‘Could she have left for the airport immediately from my office?

‘No wonder she asked me to help Martin. So, that was the case.’

"Did she instruct you to do anything before she left?" asked Jared.

"Other than asking me to take good care of Mrs. Wallace Sr., there's nothing else.”

‘Nicole must be very angry at me this time. Otherwise, why would she not tell me about her leaving?’ Jared thought.

"I have some things to take care of. I'll make a move.” After Jared hurriedly bid goodbye to Mrs. Wallace Sr., he drove off at high Speed.

Jared took a glance at the time while he was in the car. ‘If she took the morning flight, she would still be on the flight. I'll wait till tonight and call her.’

Just as he was about to return to the office, Jared suddenly remembered about Fiorella. So, he called his assistant, "Did Fiorella come by the office this afternoon?”

"Yes, she did. I told her that you weren't around, but she did not believe in me and insisted on waiting for you in your office.”

"Then just let her wait." Jared hung up the phone as he finished speaking.

‘This is all Fiorella's fault. Why did she choose to wear a floral dress to my office? On top of that, she bumped into Nicole! She really did me no good.

‘What should I do now to make Nicole happy?’

Unknowingly, Jared had already reached the entrance of Martin's factory. He glanced at the place. ‘Since Nicole had already requested me to do it, I should just give it a try.’

To speed up the rebuilding process and continue production, Max and Claus were all busy helping on the site. Just as Jared entered the factory, Max happened to notice him. So, Max quickly ran over to him, "Sir, you're here."

"How is the rebuilding work progressing?" Jared asked as he stared at the factory which was being worked on.

"Everything Is on track. If everything goes well, the new facilities will come in starting next week," reported Max.

"Okay. Let's try to focus on the production and gain back all the time we lost."

"Noted."

"Where's Martin?” asked Jared as he looked around and did not see Martin around.

"Mr. Martin is in the meeting room. He and Claus are investigating the cause of the fire."

"Alright, you should get back to your work." Jared walked toward the meeting room.
