No Way Back (Jane and Hugh) by Anna Mac novel Chapter 81

Chapter 81

Henry’s heart began to beat wildly in his chest once more.

Henry’s heart was thumping in his chest.

Henry felt as if his heart was on fire.

However…

Henry quickly cooled down.

Henry let out a bitter smile as he seemed to have expected Queen’s reply

There was no need to think too much about it

Queen will certainly refuse.

There was no way that Queen would agree to meet up with Henry in the real life.

Henry had invited Queen countless times for a meet-up.

Without fail, all of Henry’s invitations were rejected.

Even though Queen had returned after quitting the Darknet and the two of them were Master and Apprentice.

It was only when they were online

It was impossible for them to meet offline

It was too dangerous.

Queen was the number one hacker on the Darknet. Although there are countless people who adored her and worshipped her, there are also many people who hated her and wished that Queen would disappear from this world!

Even though Henry was Queen’s apprentice, Queen would be taking a gamble with her life if she were to meet up with Henry

On the Darknet, the first rule of survival was to hide one’s true identity, conceal all traces, and not fall in love with anyone.

Henry admired Queen and wanted to give her everything that he possessed.

However, it was impossible for Henry’s burning hot passion to be able to reach Queen’s heart through the emotionless and unfeeling internet. Just when Henry was about to give up. Queen replied.

[We’ll meet at noon one week later. The location is up to you to decide on]

Henry couldn’t help but feel shocked after seeing Queen’s reply.

Stunned, Henry stared at the message for at least a full minute.

Then, Henry’s breathing quickened

Henry was sweating profusely and he was also overjoyed,

Henry’s hands were trembling as he nearly dropped his phone.

Henry could only take a few deep breaths to calm his heart that was thumping madly in his chest.

Feeling as if his heart was about to explode from joy, Henry even gave himself a slap as he tried to use the pain to clear his mind and bring him

back to his senses.

“Master agreed… Master had actually agreed

“Hooray!” Henry thought to himself excitedly.

Staring at Queen’s text, Henry’s thoughts ran wild. “This text…

“This answer…

“This feeling…

“It was not an illusion!

“It wasn’t a dream!

“It was genuine!”

At that moment, Henry was like a teenager who had just fallen in love and had managed to invite his goddess for his first date

If anyone that knew Henry well were to witness this scene, they would definitely be shocked.

Fortunately, Jack and Anna were not around.

Henry was alone in his spacious president’s office.

Otherwise, if Jack and Anna were to see his eldest son whom he was so proud of, become like this, they would have thought that Henry was possessed by someone.

What happened to the cold and calm president who always had a poker face?

H.F. sent a message. [Master, you really agreed to meet up? Why is it that all of sudden…]

Queen replied. [It’s just that I’ve gone through a lot recently and finally figured it out. It’s not a big deal to meet a trustworthy apprentice whom I’ve known for three years. After all, you’re the only apprentice whom I’ve taken in. We’re both in Stormton City too. This must be fate arranged by the heavens.]

When Jane sent the message, the corners of her mouth curled up into a faint smile

Queen sent a message. [And little apprentice, I had never conducted any investigation regarding your true identity. One week later when I am going to meet up with you for the first time, I hope that I am able to recognize you at first glance among the crowd. Let’s see if our master and

apprentice relationship is up to the test. Hehe |

This was Jane’s respect for HF

With Jane’s capabilities, it was very easy for her to find out HFs true identity

After all, Jane was the Darknet’s number one hacker.

There were very few things in this world that Jane couldn’t find out

Of course, that would exclude people like Hugh Croft who are special and different from the others.

However, it was because HF was his disciple that Jane chose to respect him.

On the Darknet one’s situation would become very dangerous if one’s identity was exposed.

Even though there’s no way that Jane would want to bring any harm to H.F

It was precisely because Jane did not want to expose her traces.

At the same time, Jane would protect H.F. and will not let his identity be revealed.

Every time when Jane erased her traces and concealed her identity, Jane would also do the same for HF too.

It was something that Jane would not encroach on, even though she was H.Fs Master.

It was also one of the points that Jane had often warned HF about.

As a hacker, one must not let others know one’s true identity!

This time, Jane had really let it go when she agreed to meet up with H.F

Perhaps it would be the same as meeting up with Andy.

If Jane were to meet with H.F., Jane thought that she might be able to make friends with him. One whom Jane finds worthy of being her lifelong friend

Jane could not help but look forward to it.

Jane had known her apprentice for more than three years. From HF’s character and way of doing things, Jane knew that HF was trustworthy. Hopefully, H.F. would not disappoint Jane

H.F. sent a message. [Master, thank you… For trusting me and agreeing to meet up with me ]

H.F. sent another message. I assure you… You won’t regret your decision! I will be the most trustworthy apprentice in the world! No exceptions’]

Queen replied. [Then I’ll wait and see! Alright, I still have something on, so I will go offline now. Let’s meet again in a week’s time] H.F. replied. [Yes!]

Henry could not help but jump up and down as he was as happy as a lark.

Standing at the president’s office which was on the fiftieth floor of the Fowler Corporation, the dazzling night view of Stormton City could be clearly seen from the floor-to-ceiling windows.

However, that did not attract Henry’s attention.

Henry was scrolling through the chat history between him and his Master and was repeatedly rereading their conversation.

The smile on Henry’s face widened, and he had been smiling ever since he saw the message from Queen,

Henry’s bad mood that was brought about by that ****Jane earlier today had also disappeared.

It was completely replaced by happiness, excitement, and all sorts of happy emotions.

“A week…

“There was only one week left…”

Henry thought to himself. Never in his life had Henry wished that time will go faster!

“Faster!

“Why can’t I just skip the next seven days, and transcend to seven days later?

“To the day that I will finally meet Master. I’ve yearned to meet Queen, my idol.

“That day would definitely be a bright and sunny day, where all the flowers will bloom.

“The flowers will be in full bloom

“The air will be filled with fragrance.” Henry couldn’t help but think to himself,

Even the autumn wind will be playing a symphony of blessings for Henry and Queen.

Henry and Queen would meet just like how the prince and princess would in the fairy tales!

Then, they would accompany each other and spend the rest of their lives together.

Henry did not dare to ask for too much as he was afraid of scaring Queen.

The fanatical admiration and respect that Henry was currently feeling towards Queen filled Henry’s heart and he felt that he couldn’t release his

emotions!

Henry did not know how he should express his feelings for Queen. “How should I make sure that Queen would be able to feel my admiration for her during our first meet-up?” Henry pondered.

This was a question that Henry had to think about for the next seven days

But

If there’s even the slightest chance of “What if…”, Henry would want to grasp that chance

Henry would do everything possible to chase after what he wanted most in his lifet

Even if Henry were to fail in the end, he would have no regrets!

At least Henry had tried!

Besides, Henry was very confident in his capabilities and appearance.

Although Henry was handsome, had never thought that looks were of any importance in the past.

Henry even despised those people who judged others based on their appearance.

But now, what was in Henry’s mind was how lucky he was to be handsome!

Queen did not know what Henry looked like, or what his true identity was.

On that day, Henry must give Queen a big surprise and leave a strong impression on her so that Queen would never forget about him for the rest of her life!

Jane left the washroom.

Lila Sutton came looking for Jane.

“Janie, what took you so long? I’ve already finished dancing with Andy and was waiting for you.”

I’m sorry. I haven’t talked to him for a long time, so I chatted for a while longer.”

“Who? Who’s that on the line that would make you show so much concern? It can’t be Mr. Croft, am I right?”

Even if Jane did not mention anything. Lila Sutton knew.
