My Wife is a Hacker (Nicole Riddle and Jared) novel Chapter 1339

Chapter 1339

Harvey glanced at him, before continuing to go through his documents.

Noticing that Harvey was oddly calm, Edward stared at him in bafflement and said, "It surprises me that you're not even showing a tad bit of disappointment.”

‘This guy had threatened me just earlier, forcing me to do it and now he doesn't even look like he had an ounce of damn to give,’ Edward fumed from within.

"I knew she wouldn't say yes," Harvey said. ‘Nicole already has someone in her heart, so it would be odd if she agreed. I have nothing to lose if she rejects me.'

Edward could not help but stare in bafflement when he understood what had just happened. "You know why it was going to work out? Then why did you get me to ask her out on your behalf? Are you kidding me?"

Harvey raised his eyes coldly. "So what?"

Edward suddenly lost his cool. He was really aggrieved, but he was unable to let his temper fly just like that.

He gritted his teeth and yelled, "You're shameless!"

By the time Edward had uttered those words, he had lost all interests in having lunch with Harvey, and hence, he turned around and left. Harvey was then left to sift through his documents after the door had closed.

A sense of emptiness was lingering in his heart. Though he did not show it, he did not like how Nicole always rejected him.

‘When will I ever develop a closer bond with her?’

Meanwhile, Nicole had walked out of the Golden Coast building. She had done all of that to deceive Edward into thinking she had an appointment, but now, she was truly starving. She wanted to grab a meal at once, but it was at this moment that her phone rang.

She reached out to answer the phone, and a mature voice sounded from the other end.

"Miss Riddle.”

Nicole thought for a long while before recognizing it as the voice of Alfred, an old house butler for the Riddle's family.
