My Wife is a Hacker (Nicole Riddle and Jared) novel Chapter 2886

Chapter 2886

She looked ahead, her eyes piercing the darkness. Judging from the elevation she was at, she figured that the cliff might not be too far from where she stood.

Midway, Nicole stopped and pondered if there was still a way ahead. She was wondering why Damien and the rest of his entourage had chosen to hole themselves up in a place that was so isolated and claustrophobic.

All of a sudden, she heard some rustling noises emanating from the thick, lush vegetation before her. Startled, she darted off the trail she was on and hid herself behind the thicket to her right, and there, she carefully observed the movements of the silhouettes ahead.

"Let's stay here for a few days. We can leave once things have simmered down," a man said with a hint of caution in his voice.

"Why don't we just leave now?" another voice asked.

Upon hearing the second voice, Nicole's eyes widened.

'Isn't that Damien? Patricia was following him, but why isn't she here?' Nicole wondered.

As their footfalls grew louder, Nicole crouched over and looked through the gaps in the thicket, trying not to place herself in their direct line of sight.

As expected, two figures emerged from the grove up ahead, of whom one was Damien. They were strolling along the pathway as they conversed, shooting bullets of glances behind their shoulders every now again to ensure that they were not being followed.

"Do you think we've really shaken that woman off?" Damien asked, sounding a little worried.

"Vaio is keeping an eye on her. She won't have her way with us," the other man assured.

However, Damien still seemed uneasy as he remarked," She's quite formidable, you know."

"You have nothing to worry about, because Vaio is more than capable of taking care of her," the man asserted. "Let's go. With Vaio distracting her, we can take this opportunity to get into hiding."

"Okay." Damien agreed, and followed the other man around a corner.

Then, they disappeared from sight.

What they failed to realize was that someone had managed to track them here; after Nicole had gotten a bead in the direction which they had taken, she went after them, moving in a half-crouch with her back lowered so as to muffle her footfalls.
