My Wife is a Hacker novel (Nicole)

Chapter 2190
"Who's that girl? She's so pretty!
Having overheard the discussions around them, Nicole and Lulu shifted their attention to the big plasma screen. It was displaying
a musical concert, and Spencer, as a special guest, was performing in it. Lulu knew the fact that he was participating in the
concert, but she was unaware of the fact that he would be sharing the stage with another person. Lulu had never seen or heard
from Spencer about the girl who was performing with him.
"It's just a performance," Nicole comforted Lulu softly after noticing how crestfallen she was.
"I know. He did inform me about his performance today," Lulu flashed a beaming smile in response.
Lulu did not mind the notion of Spencer performing with someone else. But as she looked at the dazzling Spencer, she felt a
pang of insecurity deep down. What made it worse was that he was standing beside such a beautiful girl, leading Lulu to believe
that this was originally how Spencer's future should have been. Feeling a sense of bitterness deep within, Lulu shifted her
attention, not daring to continue watching the performance.
Noticing Lulu's despondency, Nicole gently patted her hand, saying, "Don't think too much about it."
Lulu paused and smiled a little just as the waiter served
them their meals. "Yeah, let's eat."
Nicole shook her head lightly as she noted Lulu's fake smile and ceased all mentions of the subject altogether.
After lunch, Nicole and Lulu left the restaurant.
To distract Lulu from her listlessness, Nicole suggested." Come with me to Mr. Bennett's place this afternoon."
Taken aback by the proposition, Lulu exclaimed, "You've completed the preliminary design!"
"Yep, let's discuss it with Mr. Bennett when we meet," Nicole replied.
In truth, there was no need for Nicole to personally meet Mr. Bennett. She just wanted to bring Lulu out to unwind, hence the
suggestion of them both going out together.

Sure enough, with something on her hand to keep her away from the devil's playground, Lulu's mood improved, and she
followed Nicole's busy schedule until the end of the day.
"Mr. Bennett was lavish with his praise for the designs. He even said that, with you taking charge, he was even more confident in
the collaboration," Lulu remarked with eyes brimming with joy.
Nicole smiled in response. "That's good."
"He said to leave the rest to him. He will definitely guarantee your satisfaction," Lulu added.
Nicole's eyes narrowed, becoming downcast soon after. 'It's best this way.'
After tidying up their desk, they left the company, but just as they were leaving, someone called out, "Lulu."
Turning her gaze to the voice, she saw Spencer who had just gotten down from the car and was waving at her.
"You're here," Lulu smiled, walking over to Spencer.
Nicole took a sweeping glance and followed her from behind. "I saw the musical concert you were performing in today."
"Oh really?" Spencer seemed a little surprised.
He then turned to look at Lulu. "I wanted to invite you to the scene, but something came up last minute. That's why I couldn’t call
you."
"That's alright. We saw it during lunch," Lulu explained with a smile.
"Spencer, weren't you always used to performing solo? Why was it a duet today?" Nicole asked Spencer with a curious look on
her face.
Hearing Nicole's question, Lulu instantly put on a somber look. She strained her ears, wanting to find out more regarding the
situation.
Nicole raised her brows. She knew Lulu was curious about the question too. However, Lulu would never bring it up to Spencer if
Nicole did not ask first.
