Jared understood. “Since it‘s a job, I won‘t ask more, but please take care of yourself.”
“So, are you going to live here for the next few days?” Jared wished she would, so he could see her
every day.
“Maybe, not sure yet. You go get busy. Don‘t worry about me.” Nicole did not want to affect Jared‘s
work because of her.
“Okay. You have a good rest.” Jared pulled a blanket over her body and left for work.
Nicole glanced at the time. “Oh gosh, it‘s already noon.”
She got up at once and washed up, then got ready to go to school. Just then, the thought of the
situation at Preston‘s side came to mind. She was worried that White would make a comeback. So she
went to Preston‘s office instead.
“Nicole, what are you doing here?” Preston was just about to go out when he bumped into Nicole in the
doorway. “Are you going out?” Nicole looked at the neatly dressed Preston.
“Yeah, I have something to take care of, but nothing urgent. Let‘s get inside.” Preston walked Nicole
back into his office.
“How did you come back?” Edwin saw Preston. “Ahh, Nicole has come.”
“Were there any unknown attacks this morning?” Nicole asked Edwin worriedly.
“Not yet. Everything is normal.”
“Good. White hides his identity very well. It may take some time to uncover it. But I‘m afraid White will
strike again, so you two have got to be vigilant and don‘t mess up.” Nicole knew she must find White
before he struck again, lest he became a permanent scourge.
“Don‘t worry. We will take turns keeping watch twenty four hours a day.” Preston assured Nicole.
“Okay. Get in touch.” With that, Nicole spun around to leave, only to bump into Rowan, who came to
thank Preston.
Rowan was surprised. “What a coincidence, Nicole. I didn‘t expect to meet you here.”
“It‘s been a long while.” Nicole looked at Rowan.
“You guys know each other?” Preston was surprised.
“Of course.” Rowan nodded.
“You guys?” Rowan looked at Preston and then at Nicole.
“Nicole is my sister. She is also a hacker. It was she who thwarted White‘s attack. I can’t imagine what
would have happened without Nicole.” Preston praised Nicole in front of Rowan
Rowan looked at Nicole in shock. “I knew you could heal, but I didn‘t expect that you are also a
formidable hacker.”
“You have been keeping a really low profile, Nicole.” Edwin looked at Nicole with admiration. “It‘s just a
hobby,” Nicole said.
Neither Preston nor Edwin expected Nicole to be not only a hacker but also a medical practitioner .
They suddenly found her so badass and looked at her in a different light.
Rowan was here to thank Preston and Edwin. He looked at Edwin and said, “I have transferred the
money.”
“Okay.” Edwin made a gesture.
Rowan set his sights on Nicole. “I wonder if you have time for a cup of coffee together, Nicole?” “Yeah,
sure.” Nicole and Rowan walked out of Preston‘s office together.
