My Wife is a Hacker (Nicole Riddle and Jared) novel Chapter 2044

Jared had not paid any attention to the incident outside of the building and had walked in the meeting room fully prepared.

At the Riddle Corporation however, Nicole was leaning against her office chair, staring at the door where the secretary once stood. She bit her lip as she recalled the incident involving the secretary from the night before.

Nicole was certain that her instincts were on point, as all it had taken her was one look to discover that the secretary's intentions toward Jared were devious. 'Or…perhaps Jared already knew about it…'

Nicole was feeling disturbed as she attempted to piece all that was running through her head.

But it was then that her phone rang, interrupting her train of thought. It was Lawrence.

Seeing this, Nicole answered the call. "Leo."

"Mom, it's me," Nolan greeted over the phone.

"Nolan!" Nicole was bewildered. 'How can Nolan call me on Lawrence's phone?'

"Mom, my tummy hurts so I've asked godfather to get me. You can come pick me up at the restaurant during lunch. We'll send you the address later," Nolan quickly said, and hung up so that Nicole could not protest.

"Hello….?" Nicole shook her head as she was left with the beeping of the phone on the other end, 'This brat.'

'No wonder he was so perky last night. After his tantrum, he went to bed obediently. During the morning too, I thought he had accepted the reality of things but who could have expected that it was all an act to get me to let my guard down. Who knew that brat had called Lawrence as soon as he arrived at kindergarten,' she concluded.

Nicole placed her phone down and sighed, before typing up a message to Lawrence, in which she asked them where they were so that she could rush over.

Nicole then received Lawrence's reply, and that was when she saw that they were actually at the amusement park. 'Didn't this brat say that he had a stomachache? Amusement parks are more effective than seeing doctors now, huh?'

Nicole left the Riddle Corporation for the amusement park after she had settled her work. She saw Nolan's cheerful and smiling face and could not help but feel a little sorry for him. After all, the recent happenings were all on her.

'I've never seen him smiling so genuinely since our return.'
