Chapter 1333
[Remotely. I think it's better that way.] Zeke replied.
[Okay. I'll call you in a bit.]
Nicole gained remote access to Zeke's computer after a while and carefully went through Zeke's files, checking for any errors.
It was at this moment that Jared knocked on Nicole's bedroom door. He peered in and saw that she was busy in front of her computer.
"There's still work to be done at this hour?" Jared asked.
"Yeah, there's something that needs to be handled at the moment. What do you need?" Nicole looked at Jared and asked.
"It's nothing. I just want to get some sleep," Jared explained.
"I may have to work for a while longer. Why don't you sleep in your room, so I don't end up disturbing you," Nicole suggested.
Jared looked at her and frowned. 'Why is she being so secretive again? Is she afraid that I'll be watching her?'
"Nicole, I’ve tried this before. You can try other methods." Zeke's voice suddenly sounded from the phone.
'Crap! How can I forget to hang up the phone,' she thought.
Jared could not help but frown as he thought, 'The man's voice sounds familiar.'
A light then flashed in his eyes.
'Isn't this the man from before?' Jared recalled carefully before confirming that it was the man who had spoken to Nicole previously.
"Nicole, who is that on the phone?" Jared looked at Nicole and asked.
"A friend of mine. I told you about it not long ago.' Nicole looked at Jared and explained.
"You can go out now. I'm really in a hurry to work here." Nicole got up and pushed Jared to the door.
Then, he shut the door with a slam and proceeded to lock Jared out of the room.
Jared glanced at the closed door and took a deep breath, 'I must find out what she's up to with that person.'
Jared walked into his study room, turned his computer on, and began to investigate Nicole's recent activity on the Internet history browser. Jared was well aware of Nicole being a master of hacking, and thus, he naturally had to search from The Hunters.
That night, Jared and Nicole became busy with their respective affairs in front of their computers, with neither disturbing one another.
Jared came down to the kitchen the next morning to make breakfast for Nicole. His complexion was also better than it was before, as if he already knew what Nicole was up to.
Nicole was busy getting ready upstairs.
After she was done dressing up, she made her way downstairs. 'I think I'll just skip breakfast today. After how I had treated him last night, I doubt he would make breakfast for me.'
But as soon as she was there, she took a glimpse into the kitchen and saw that Jared was already making breakfast.
"What are you looking at? Sit down quickly and have breakfast. Aren't you needed at the R&D center?" Jared reminded, as he placed the dishes on the dining table.
Nicole looked at Jared, and did as he was told. However, she did not begin to eat. Instead, she waited for him to join her at the table, out of courtesy.
