My Wife is a Hacker novel (Nicole)

Chapter 1607
'I did not expect these people to start hunting for the Crest. To add to that, this person knows about the existence of The Hunter.
He or she must not be an average Jane or Joe.' Nicole pondered, as she observed that a number of hackers had enquired about
the mission.
Nicole could not help but grow curious about who that person was. She attempted to track the sender's IP address. However, the
sender in question seemed careful as well. There was no specific IP address available. She could only get a hold on the general
location, and as it turned out, the person was located at San Joto.
"San Joto..."
Things were getting more interesting. Nicole really wanted to know who the person hunting for the other Crest was.
As she was thinking, a notification tone emanated from her phone. It was a video call.
Nicole raised her eyebrows, 'Oh gosh, it's that brat, Jared again. He's starting to do video calls.'
After giving it some thought, she ended up answering the call.
"Why are you video calling me today?" she asked.
'This dude rarely video calls since he's either in a meeting or outside,' she thought.
Jared looked at Nicole through the screen and flashed her a devilish smile. "I miss you."

He had a hoarse voice and was garbed in a white robe. At an instant, Nicole could tell that he had just come out of the shower.
And to top it off, he was actually seducing her, being the shameless man he was.
"Your parents took Grandma away," he said.
Furthermore, it was not a question, but a statement. There were also hints of annoyance in his voice.
"What happened?" Nicole raised her eyebrows, "Isn't that great? It would be easier for your people to focus on one area and do
their job."
"It isn't great." Jared snorted unhappily, "I wanted to stay at your place tonight."
'And yet, all this girl wants to do is stay at home,' he sulked.
It would not be appropriate for Jared to act in the way he did at the Riddle family manor, and that was, by using grandpa's illness
as an excuse to stay over.
The corner of Nicole's lips twitched, for all that man wanted was to kiss her.
"You better not think about it for the next few weeks," she reprimanded.
Nicole needed to recover. The last time they met, she almost broke her back.
"Don't you miss me?" Jared's voice became deep and sultry all of a sudden.
His gaze even became seductive.
Nicole's cheeks began to flush. "Oh, stop it, you idiot!"

'Why is he becoming increasingly cheekier as of recent?' she asked herself.
Seeing that Nicole was blushing and too shy to even look at him, Jared coquettishly curled his lips. "Don't worry. We'll meet
soon."
Then, he flashed her a bright and handsome smile.
Nicole took a deep breath, "When?"
"The banquet. I'm your partner." Jared propped his head on the pillow and laid in bed playfully.
Nicole could not help but rebuke him, for Jared really knew how to show his charm. Every move that he made would get the
hearts of many racing at an instant, and if it were any other woman, they would have fallen head over heels for Jared.
Fortunately for Nicole, she had a very strong sense of self-control.
"When did I say I wanted you to be my partner?" Nicole rolled her eyes and grilled him for his narcissistic remark.
"You don't want me? Then who would you go there with? Harvey? Or Lloyd? " Jared's gaze darkened.
It seemed that he had taken her words seriously.
Nicole immediately gulped and said, "Have you been becoming greener with each passing day?"
Nicole had not met Harvey for many days now. Even after school had reopened, she had not seen him. As for Lloyd, she could
not fathom how Lloyd had fallen into Jared's list of potential enemies.
"What's wrong with that?" he asked. 'This woman has been becoming more kittenish as of recent.'
