Harper slightly frowned as she tried to remember.
"If I’m not mistaken, you gave it to me a week ago. And I think... I’ve only sent about twenty text messages. Well, maybe more. A lot more. Okay, I send about three to five times a day," she explained innocently with an aura of guilt.
"Okay! Okay! I sent a lot of texts to him. Why do you even ask, Sam?"
Sam chuckled as he looked at Harper with pity flashing through his eyes.
"Well, you’re the Boss, and I respect you. But, yeah, I think you’ve sent too many messages to Sean in too short a time. So, I guess… Sean probably has blocked your number," Sam tried to hold back a laugh so hard, seeing Harper’s usually beautiful and cheerful face slowly turning gloomy beautifully.
Even though Sam’s statement was most likely accurate, hearing it upset her heart. She said nothing back at him, just sent him a sharp dagger gaze.
"Well, Boss, don’t blame Sean Spencer. Really. You can’t blame him. He is a commander in the army special force, not just a random guy you saw outside and working 9 to 5," Sam chuckled as he remembered Sean’s position in the military and as the current president’s only son. "I know his private number is only known to a few important people, and I’m lucky to be one of them."
"Sam!" Harper called out to Sam in an icy tone. "How dare you rub salt in my wounded heart?" Harper felt even more gloomy. She knew she had no chance with Sean.
What Harper imagined she did now was an amateur trying to climb Mount Everest without gear and practice. It seemed impossible to achieve! 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
However, she was too stubborn to stop. Well, at least she tried, right?
"Hahaha. Sorry Boss, I was just stating the fact," Sam shook his head while looking at Stefan, who was typing something on his laptop. "Stefan, can you help Harper? Your talent would be beneficial to our Boss here..."
Stefan turned to see Sam and Harper. He asked, "Sure! What kind of service could I help our Boss here, bro?"
"Can you hack Sean Spencer’s phone?"
Stefan said nothing but gave Sam a get-lost kind of expression.
Sam couldn’t help but laugh at Stefan’s annoyed expression as he returned his focus to his laptop. It was obvious to Sam that Stefan was not keen on assisting Harper in hacking the phone of one of the most important military officers in this country.
"Oh, come on. Are you silently saying you can’t do it? I’m not asking you to breach his privacy or steal anything. Just unblock Harper’s phone number in his cell phone or ensure he reads the text message that Harper sent him..." Sam continued.
Sam was starting to wonder about Stefan’s abilities. If Stefan could beat the hackers in his old division, he would consider Stefan to be the best hacker he had ever known.
"Huh? I thought soldiers were like brothers in arms. You’ve been through life-and-death experiences together, right?" Harper asked curiously, remembering Sam vaguely mentioning how he knew Sean.
"You are right. However, when I retired, I was no longer in contact with Sean Spencer. We drifted apart and only met him again when he visited Bella." Sam smiled as he remembered his first encounter with Sean at Quantum Capital.
Even though they weren’t as close and didn’t communicate after Sam retired from the military, he was grateful that Sean still considered him family and even saved his phone number.
Now,
Looking at Harper’s disappointed expression, Sam felt terrible for her. After a quick thought, he said, "Harper, I’m sorry I can’t promise to get Sean to meet me. But I will try to contact him for you. I will do my best..."
A spring-like smile slowly emerged on Harper’s lips when she heard about Sam’s promise.
"Thank you, Sam."
"Don’t say that. I haven’t done anything yet," Sam said, scratching his head. He somehow felt worried about calling Sean. "Oh, right. When are you returning to New York?"
