My Wife is a Hacker (Nicole Riddle and Jared) novel Chapter 2980

Chapter 2980

Ellar’s tone conveyed his effort to contribute positively to the lunch gathering. "I remembered how much you both liked it last time, so I grabbed it for today," he said.

Lulu casually mentioned, "Well, enjoy it while you can.

Nicole will be out of the country soon."

Ellar’s reaction was one of genuine surprise. "Out of the country? Nicole, what's the occasion?"

"Just some business matters. I'll be back in a few days," Nicole replied, downplaying the significance of her trip.

Ellar, not privy to the details, simply nodded in understanding. "Got it."

Nicole then shifted the conversation, her gaze intent on Ellar. Before I go, is there anything you need assistance with?"

Ellar, slightly uneasy under Nicole's scrutiny, averted his eyes. "No, everything's fine on my end. You don't need to worry about me, Nicole."

Nicole, not entirely convinced, pressed a bit more. "Are you sure about that?"

Ellar’s vigorous nod seemed to affirm his words. "Really, everything's fine," he reassured Nicole.

"Alright, let's enjoy the meal then," Nicole said, deciding to leave the matter for now. Despite her lingering doubts, she couldn't pinpoint anything specific about Ellar that seemed amiss.

She chose to focus on the present, resolving to revisit any concerns about Ellar after her trip. She thought that it was possible that her recent stress had been amplifying her worries unnecessarily.

After lunch, Ellar quickly found an excuse to leave the Riddle Corporation ahead of time.

Once outside, he released a relieved sigh, wiping the perspiration from his brow. He had sensed the underlying reason for Nicole's questions and was grateful for his preparedness.

In reality, the Spicy Mexican fish was ordered by his assistant, while he had met with Martin to improve his complexion, anticipating Nicole might notice any discrepancies.

His efforts appeared to have paid off, allowing him to narrowly evade Nicole's suspicions.
