Ch. 501..505: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 501-505

Chapter 501

It was only normal for Nicole not to go.

Soon the little episode was over, and the fat chewing continued until it was evening.

Many of them proposed to hang out outside.

Just then, Nicole's mobile phone rang.She glanced at the phone screen, and a faint smile flashed across her face.

As she turned to go out, everyone looked at her from behind with a thoughtful look in their eyes.

Austin nudged Sammey and asked in a low voice, "Have you ever seen our boss have such an expression o n her face?"

As Sammey did not answer, Bill Allen looked at Austin with disdain and said casually, "What's so surprising about it? Boss always has that expression on her face whenever she looks at her man."

Sammey let out a gentle cough.

As Austin seemed to have realized something, they all tacitly shut their mouths.

Lulu and others looked at them, clueless about what they were talking about.

‘What man? What do they mean by she has always been like that? These guys are so strange"

Nicole walked outside to a quieter place to answer the phone.

A male voice soon sounded on the other end of the phone, his voice gentle, as if he was smiling, and also as if the crisp clinking of the glasses.

"Congratulations on winning first place."

Nicole smiled, and her voice became much softer.

"How did you know?"

Jared looked at the black coffee beans and ground them with one hand absent-mindedly.He chuckled upon hearing her question.

"Claus told me.By the way, are you free now? I need your favor for something."

Nicole was surprised; she had never heard him ask anyone for a favor before.

"I'm having a meal with friends at the fondue restaurant near the school.How may I help you?"

Jared stopped what he was doing and took off the thin rubber gloves on his hand, and then held the phone, which was clamped between his ear and his shoulder, with his hand.

"Nothing serious.Give me a minute.I will go to you."

The line went dead.

As Nicole returned to the private dining room, she found that the atmosphere inside became eerily silent.She could not help but frown to see everyone look at her.

"What's wrong?"

June and Lulu exchanged a glance, and Lulu took the lead in speaking.

"I thought we were best friends, Nicole; why didn't you tell us you have a boyfriend?"

June also looked at Nicole with quizzical eyes.

"Yeah, Nicole.I thought we were best friends."

‘Boyfriend? What boyfriend?' Nicole looked at the two of them and was confused.

She held her forehead as if she had a headache and then looked over at Bill.

"What did you tell them?"

Bill waved his hand innocently, saying that he had done nothing; the girls had guessed it by themselves, and she should not blame him.

But Lulu would not back down until she got the answer.She sat down next to Nicole and stared at her threateningly.

"It's time to talk, Nicole.Tell us the truth."

Chapter 502

"Just a friend who said he needed me to do hima favor," Nicole said helplessly.

Lulu looked suspiciously at Nicole.

After all, Nicole's attitude told her they were more than just friends.

June stopped her from asking any more questions by casually fetching bread for her.

"Don't you like bread? You should eat more."

Lulu was forgetful.

When she saw the bread, she forgot what she was about to say.

Jimmy looked at Nicole as if thinking of something, but he was not surprised.

Just then, the door of the private dining room next door suddenly opened, and the laughter of girls was heard inside.

Yvana looked at Snow, who was surrounded in the middle, with subtle jealousy in her eyes.

"Snow, are you really going to leave so early? We aren't having enough fun yet."

Snow glanced back at her with a faint disdain in her eyes.

"Enjoy the meal.It's on me."

She just wanted to protect her circle and would not have time for them otherwise.

Thinking that she would have to attend a dinner party with Harvey in a while, Snow became anxious, wanting to hurry back to clean herself up and put up fancy makeup to make sure that everyone could see that she deserved to stand next to Harvey.

Yvana looked at her and was jealous.

"Are you in a hurry to go back and prepare for the dinner party with Harvey?"

Many girls around her also looked at Snow with resentment.

Snow had already shown off to them earlier, and they deliberately took her to this fondue restaurant to delay her, but Snow did not take the bait.

It was a matter of course.

They would also not have wasted their time here had they been the ones invited by Harvey.

Snow looked a little proud as she gave a sideways glance at Yvana.

Thinking of the jewelry that was worth tens of thousands of dollars that Yvana had worn earlier, she was still not too happy.

Just Harvey was cold to her, and she had lost her status in his eyes, so she did not want to fall out with Yvana earlier.

But now, things were different.She looked at Yvana and said casually, "Yeah, I have to go back and clean up.After all, the smell in this fondue restaurant is pretty strong; I don't want to be looked down upon."

Yvana and the other girls looked not too happy.

The fondue restaurant was clean and smelled good.She knew that Snow just wanted to humiliate them and make them appear to be of a lower class.

But since Snow was going out with Harvey, they did not dare to say anything more but saw her out with a smile.

Jared and Claus were coming upstairs when Snow came out.

Jared saw her and frowned.

Snow nervously clasped the hem of her clothes and wanted to say something, but Jared ignored her, walking straight past her, leaving only a faint sandalwood scent lingering in Snow's nostrils.

Those girls around Snow were stunned; they did not know that Snow and Jared knew each other, and they were all whispering among themselves.

"This man is also too good-looking.I wonder if he is a student at our school."

"I think I've seen him before.Ahh, he is the owner of the café near our school."

'He is just the owner of a café?! Many girls pulled back their gazes with disappointment.But one particular girl with a good memory pondered for a long while and then said unassuredly, "Not only that, it seems that there was another time when he and Mr.Ellison had appeared together, and Mr.Ellison was very respectful toward him."

 

Chapter 503

This reminded everyone about what happened during the flag-raising ceremony the other day.

But even so, they still did not know who this man was.

Snow was standing aside, her gaze lingering on Jared with a faint hint of fear in her eyes.She did not know about others, but she knew exactly who Jared, who had just walked past, was.

It was he who made her grandfather slap Dillon and almost send her abroad, causing her parents to lose favor in the Riddle family.

Her fingernails sank into the flesh of her palms at the thought of how protective Jared was toward Nicole and the indifference he had just shown toward her.

But thinking of the evening party she was about to attend, Snow took a few deep breaths, barely calmed her anger, and walked out without looking at the others behind her.

The girls behind her looked at each other, wondering why Snow got angry again.

Yvana scoffed at Snow's pretentious attitude.

‘'She really thinks she is superior just because she is from the Riddle family, which is now in decline.I'm eager t o see how long she can keep on this way"

As she turned and walked back, she saw the man, who had just walked past, was standing outside the door of a private lounge and knocking on the door gently.

Yvana did not follow the other girls but stood there looking at Jared with a serious sense of surprise on her face.

She might not know who he was, but judging by how respectful Mr.Ellison was toward him, she could safely presume that he was somebody.She gently sorted her hair and then walked toward Jared.

Keenly sensing that someone was approaching from behind, Claus looked back and saw a shy-faced Yvana come in their direction.He cocked an eyebrow and stopped Yvana.

"Excuse me, lady.May I help you?" Claus asked.

Jared was waiting at the door, and Yvana did not want to waste time on his henchman.So she tried to shove Claus away, eagerly wanting to approach Jared behind him.

Claus did not budge a bit and looked at the shocked Yvana with a cold, faint smile.

"Is this how you are brought up to be, lady?" Yvana looked at the man, who was smiling with no emotion in his eyes.

She flinched.

When she saw Jared did not even spare a glance at her, she gritted her teeth and said to Jared, "Hello, I just want to get to know you.It's unbecoming of your man to treat a lady this way."

Claus raised an eyebrow, and just as he was about to say something, the door in front of Jared opened.

Nicole came out and leaned against the door with a group of people behind her.She looked at Yvana with surprise and then casually asked Jared, "What's going on?"

Jared did not even look at Yvana.

The impatience in his eyes went away, and he smiled upon hearing what Nicole said.

"I don't know.She just said she wanted to get to know me," he said.

Chapter 504

Yvana saw Nicole and thought of the man taking Nicole away at the café, and Harvey could do nothing about it last time.

What surprised her the most was that they were now together.

Yvana was not afraid of Nicole.She gritted her teeth and said, "Can't I befriend him, Nicole? Don't you think you're too possessive?"

Jared frowned upon hearing this, and he finally glanced at Yvana with a frosty look in his eyes.He opened his mouth and was about to say something.

Yvana saw the look in his eyes, and an unspeakable fear rose within her.

'Has this man become angry just because I've rebuked Nicole?' Nicole took a couple of steps forward.

With Jared behind her now, she looked at Yvana with a smile.

Jared then heard Nicole's somewhat mischievous voice.

"Yeah, I'm just that possessive."

Nicole walked up to Yvana and raised her upturned eyes.She stood tall and looked down at Yvana condescendingly.

"Are you still not leaving?"

Yvana looked at the bossy Nicole, so angry that she could not find a word to respond.

She turned around and ran away.

"I'll come back again, just you wait!"

Meanwhile, Claus snorted in the back.

'Who cares? Nicole has the backing of my boss; he won't let Yvana bully her.But what did Nicole mean by saying she was possessive and chasing the woman away?! Thinking the first thing that his boss did when he returned was to grind the coffee, Claus's eyes narrowed as if something had dawned on him.

'Could It be that the Brassalian coffee tree has grown?! Jared looked at Nicole, the frosty look in his eyes vanishing.

He smiled upon hearing what Nicole said, his eyes lighting up like the stars in the night sky.

Nicole looked back and found her gaze colliding with his.

Instead of overreacting, she asked calmly, "Are you looking for me?"

Jared looked at her, the smile on his face getting even bigger.He reached out and brushed a strand of hair from Nicole's forehead to behind her ear, his voice gentle and warm as he said, "Yeah, but nothing big deal."

Jared's expression eased up as he thought of what I Nicole had just said.

"There's a party, and I want you to go with me.That's all."

Nicole nodded and thought for a moment.

"Give me a moment; let me talk to my friends."

She turned and went back in, looking at the people who were looking at her, astounded.

"I'll go first as I have something on.We will have fun together another time," she said.

Everyone had seen what happened outside the door, and they all nodded, not intending to stop Nicole from leaving.

It was not until Nicole was gone that Lulu came back t o her senses..

Chapter 505

"Nicole still denies that he is her boyfriend."

Jimmy looked calmly at the creamy fondue; he had no ; doubt about it now.

‘When Nicole came to my rescue long before this, I knew that the relationship between Nicole and that man was unusual.That man's trust and support for Nicole is probably unmatched by anyone else"

Thinking of this, he patted Lulu on the head.

"It's not that she doesn't want to tell you.Maybe you have instead reminded her of something."

Now everyone understood Nicole was probably not good at things like relationships.

Nicole first went downstairs to check out, only to be told that someone had already paid for it.She looked back at Jared, who blinked gently at her with his charming eyes.

"Don't do this again next time," Nicole said.

'It has been agreed that I would pick up the tab.He shouldn't have paid for it"

Then she walked slowly toward the door with no enthusiasm.

She did not enjoy going to parties and socializing with a bunch of people who put up a smile i n front of others, but deep down inside, each of them had an ax to grind and would turn around to stab others in the back.It was annoying just to think about it.

Jared looked at her languid demeanor from behind and was amused.He caught up with her and took her hand, then brought her to the car that had been parked up outside.

Behind them, Claus smirked and secretly scoffed at his boss for his obsession with Nicole while ignoring him.

He got behind the wheel and looked at Nicole and Jared, who was sitting in the backseat.

"Boss, where are we going now?"

Since Jared had come out so early, and it was not the time yet, Claus was sure that Jared was not going to the Holder Mansion now.

"Go to The Beauty Spot."

Jared's voice came from behind.He seemed to be in a good mood, his voice soft, not as cold as on normal days.

Claus uttered his acknowledgment and stepped on the gas pedal.

As the car drove out, he realized that something was wrong.

Glancing back at Nicole, who was looking at the scenery outside the window, and then at his boss, who looked calm and at ease, he suddenly had a knowing look on his face.

The aerodynamic black vehicle sped along the road.

It just took ten minutes before they reached The Beauty Spot.

Jared got out of the car, and Nicole followed suit.She looked at the building in front of her, glanced at Jared, and then walked in first.

Jared smiled when he saw how composed Nicole was.

The Beauty Spot, as the name suggested, was San Joto's most low-key and luxurious fashion and beauty shop for wealthy women.

Nicole walked in, and Jared followed her.

While going, he winked at the receptionist.

The first floor was full of big-name, seasonal, limited models.

After Nicole took a casual glance, someone took them upstairs, where the VIPs were received.

As Nicole followed the person to the first floor and saw what was in front of her, she fell into momentary silence.

It was an extremely beautiful black evening dress, made entirely of soft and luxurious velvet, the skirt sloping downwards with slight folds at the shoulders and waistline.

The edges of the sleeves and the hem were outlined with pale gold inlaid, and the most brilliant thing was the sporadic diamonds on the skirt, which glittered brilliantly in the light.

Nicole could tell at a glance that this was probably a precious antique from the last century.She looked back at the man behind her with a question mark in her eyes.

‘Does he really want me to put on such a priceless dress?' Jared just looked at her and gently nudged her forward.

He looked at her with his deep-set, focused eyes and said in a charming voice, "Try it out.”
