Wife by Day Boss by Night (Natalie and Brian ) novel Chapter 55

Chapter 55 

Actually, it had been ages since she’d had a bowl of tomato soup. This was probably the first one she’d had since moving abroad. 

Nobody knew her taste in food, so she’d long become accustomed to making do. 

[Mission start.] Chowing down on her meal with one hand, she shot a message to King’s butler with the other. [Get ready.] 

Brian had just finished tucking Nate Into bed after his bath and came out to find Natalie’s fingers dancing across her laptop keyboard at lightning speed. The screen was angled away from him, its light reflecting off her face. 

Minutes later, Natalie snapped the laptop shut and got up to clear the dishes. 

He stood in the doorway, watching her turn and head to the kitchen. 

After a few seconds, he walked over to Natalie’s laptop, flipped it open, and took a peek. 

He knew her password, a string of complex numbers. Sure enough, the laptop sprung to life. 

What he saw was the game page she hadn’t logged out of. 

At the top of the page, a banner scrolled, “BackOffMyBabe‘, Congratulations to you on a five–game winning streak!” 

“Boss, you’re invincible!!!” The comments section was awash with cheers. 

She was still into these computer games just like she had been for years. Back when she didn’t have her laptop, she’d always curl up in his armchair, sneakily playing games on his desktop, cracking every new password he set. 

Eventually, Brian got used to it and an unspoken rule was established in the house. No one but her could enter his study. 

Brian reached out, hit the escape key, and exited the game. The desktop was immaculate, adorned with just a few game shortcuts. 

He glanced at it, then, out of some mixture of concern and curiosity, he relaunched the game. 

Reid had said Natalie seemed off. 

Given Natalie’s knack for IT, Brian couldn’t help but wonder about her. But her computer was clean, nothing out of the ordinary. 

The hacker who lived on the sixth floor was a more likely suspect. 

The moment he closed the laptop, Natalie was standing at the kitchen doorway, holding a plate of neatly sliced fruit. 

“Fancy some fruit?” Natalie asked him calmly, as if it didn’t bother her in the slightest that he’d touched her laptop.

Chapter 55 

While Brian was in the shower, Natalie switched to her FireWing account and messaged the client who had offered her a job with a hefty starting bonus. 

[Here’s your deposit back. My boss is not in the condition to proceed) she texted. 

A second later, she heard Brian’s phone buzz from the bathroom next door. 

She glanced at his silhouette behind the frosted glass as he picked up his phone.
