My Wife is a Hacker (Nicole Riddle and Jared) novel Chapter 1280

Chapter 1280

Noting the strange atmosphere, Martin hurriedly butted in to lighten the atmosphere. “As everyone is here, I will order them to serve US our meals.”

He tapped the bell, prompting a waiter to come in a moment later.

“You may start serving.” Martin instructed.

“Yes, sir,” the waiter said.

Kelly was also able to sense the awkwardness. She quickly got up and poured wine into everyone’s cups. Just then, the waiter began to serve them their food.

“Let’s all raise our glasses to Nicole, Harvey, and Kelly.” Martin took the lead in toasting them.

Everyone then raised their glasses in response, and that was when Martin said, “Welcome back.”

“Thank you.” Nicole looked at Martin and thanked him, with Harvey and Kelly doing the same right after.

“You are the guests of honor today, so make yourselves comfortable.” Martin sensed that everyone was rather uptight, resulting in a palpable tension of sorts, so he tried to liven it up.

“The man whom you said was tailing you at the airport has explained himself. He is just some run-of-the-mill creep.” Jared suddenly said, while withholding the disgusting details of what the man had said.

Nicole turned to look at him with a frown upon hearing this. “A creep? Is that what the outcome of your interrogation is?”

“Yeah, you are the one who was being paranoid. It was just a misunderstanding, but I’ve already punished him for you,” Jared said as he looked at her.

“Why didn’t you tell me about it if it was a danger to you?” Harvey questioned, looking at Nicole with a frown.

“The situation was complicated. I don’t want everyone to know about it. In fact, the fewer the better,” Nicole explained.

“But you can’t just not tell me. I remember, was the person you subdued on the plane the one who was following you around?” Harvey suddenly recalled the incident on the plane.

“Yeah,” she replied.

“So the danger has been around all this time,” Harvey murmured.

At that time, he thought that the guy was just a thief, and after the authorities had taken the guy away, he had not given it a second thought. But now, he grew ever more perturbed when he thought about it.
