This… does not fall under my job scope, Elisa thought helplessly.
“This code needs two people to break. Can you help me?” he asked quietly. Even though he was asking for her help, it was more of an order than a request.
While she hesitated, he took a laptop out of a drawer and handed it to her.
Though speechless, she took it. Seeing how he didn’t stop her from breaking into his company secrets, she switched it on.
Then, he passed her the pen drive. After opening the files, both of them started cracking the code.
Apart from the tapping on the keyboards, nothing else could be heard.
Both of them were intensely focused on their screens. While working on it, they could also see each other’s progress.
It took more than three hours to complete it, and they missed lunch because of that.
After pressing the enter button one last time, Elisa massaged her arms.
“Does it hurt?” he asked.
“No.” She looked at him. “Is there anything else?”
“Not for now.”
She didn’t even look at the contents after successfully cracking the code. She merely shut the laptop and got up.
“I’ll take my leave, then.” She nodded.
“Thomas has already bought our lunch. Let’s eat something first,” Gareth said indifferently.
Elisa didn’t want to spend any more time with him, so she rejected coolly, “It’s okay. You guys go ahead.”
With that, she proceeded to walk out of the room.
However, he quickly grabbed her hand. She frowned at him, but she didn’t jerk away.
