My Wife is a Hacker

Chapter 72

Celia worked up the nerve to look at Nicole. When she saw Nicole looking indifferent toward her, she thought of how Nicole did not mention that she had bullied her. So, Celia mustered her courage and said, “Nothing much. There’s just a little misunderstanding between Nicole and me.”

Before she could finish, Jared scoffed coldly, “Just a little misunderstanding, and you’ve hired so many thugs to barricade her?”

Jared thought, ‘Do I look that gullible?’ Celia was immediately startled when Jared said that, unable to speak Nicole could not stand Celia’s cowardly look and told Jared flatly, “Let’s go.”

Even without Jared, Nicole could not be harmed by Celia, not even if there were ten of them. It was just that Nicole did not want to waste her energy on Celia.

Jared heard Nicole and shot Celia a glance with a half-smile. “Don’t let me see you ever again.” After all, Nicole was still his fiancée. No one should touch her without his permission! After that, Nicole and Jared left, one behind the other. From far, their leisure footsteps seemed in line with each other.

Celia was left frozen on the spot as if Jared’s last glance had bewitched her to stay at the same spot. She did not move an inch for a period of time.

Celia’s eyes were filled with extreme fear as Jared’s words had pulled her to hell. She knew that Jared was definitely not joking.

Though Nicole knew that Jared was the heir of the Johnston family, she did not know how powerful Jared really was. However, when she saw Celia’s expression just now, she could tell that Jared surely had a high status.

‘I wonder what brings someone as prestigious as him to Royal Creek Institute?’ While she was pondering, she asked Jared suspiciously, “Why are you at Royal Creek Institute?

“Me? I’m obviously here to reminisce with Mr. Ellison.”

Nicole fell silent. Speaking of Mr. Ellison, Nicole suddenly felt guilty as she thought, “This Jared wouldn’t have asked questions that are not meant to be asked, right?”

“Did Mr. Ellison give you a call today?” Jared asked curiously as he thought about Mr. Ellison’s phone call when he walked into his office.

“Yeah.” Nicole nodded instinctively, but she quickly frowned. “What does Mr. Ellison calling me has got to do with you?”

Jared laughed. “I’m just curious. Mr. Ellison… seemed to treat you better than his own grandchild.”

Nicole rolled her eyes at him. “It’s none of your business.”

Jared’s eyes darkened as he watched her walking forward.

‘Who on earth is Nicole?’ She had tasted the coffee beans from his private estate, and Mr. Ellison had a special affinity with her. But after so many days, Jared still could not find out Nicole’s true information. He found it incredibly odd.

When he saw Nicole almost entering the caféteria, she immediately blinked at Nicole. “Do you want to head on over to my café? There’s western food now, and everything is free if you visit the shop.”

Nicole stopped instantly as she was very fond of the coffee from his café. If she could order some western food, it would be even better.

“Sure, but it doesn’t have to be free.” It did not cost much to her, so she could still afford it.

“Oh?” Jared could not help but arch his brows. His café only had high spenders. Even some wealthy kids were reluctant to pay. But Nicole did not even bat an eye… For whatever reason, Jason felt that Nicole was filthy rich. The both of them arrived at the café in a short time. Max was not around, so the cashier saw them. He was stunned for a while before he went up to welcome them warmly. “Mr. Johnston, Miss Riddle.”

Nicole nodded and was about to go make an order when Jared suddenly extended his arm to stop her. When he saw Nicole looking at him with confusion, he smiled provokingly. “Do you want to see what I can do?” Nicole looked at him and nodded nonchalantly before she turned and walked toward her usual seat to sit down.

The cashier gaped bewilderedly as he looked at Jared. Jared was a top international barista. The presidents of other countries paid him a handsome amount of money for him to make them coffee, but he had rejected them mercilessly.

Now, Jared was personally making coffee for a mere student!

The way the cashier looked at Nicole instantly became full of admiration as he finally understood how important Miss Riddle was to Jared. NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

Nicole was oblivious to these as she pulled out two high-level Math Olympiad practice questions from her bag. Though she was spinning her pencil in her hand, she did not write anything down. All Nicole did was look at the questions. She then flipped to the next page after some time.

This was her unique way of studying. She would do the calculations in her head after she looked at the question. Not only did this approach save time, but it also saved her the energy from writing down the formulas.

If her schoolmates saw the way she looked now, they would probably start looking down on her again.

They might think that she was pretending since she was not writing anything down, nor did she do any calculations. They would doubt whether she was actually studying and deem her ” pretense” ridiculous.

When Jared walked out with two cups of coffee, he saw Nicole resting her oval chin on her palm as she looked at the practice questions with expressionless eyes. She had a set of faint navy blue eyes, and her slightly pursed lips were bright red. Her sleeves rolled down her arm, and she had a red string as her bracelet around her fair, slim wrist, which further accentuated her porcelain white skin.

Her other hand was busy fidgeting with her pen as she performed pen spinning tricks from time to time. Though she had a flat expression on her face, Jared could somehow tell that she was happy.

It was like she could get comfort when she studied at the café.

Jared smiled lightly when he saw this as he walked toward her and placed the cup of coffee on her table.

“What are you looking at? You look so serious.” Nicole did not even look at him when she answered him flatly, “Math Olympiad questions.” After she spoke, she picked up the coffee in front of her and took a sip. Jared did not seem to expect that answer, so he could not help but chuckle nonchalantly, “I didn’t think you would sit here and do Math Olympiad questions. How surprising.” Nicole glared at him. “There’s plenty more things for you to be surprised about.”

She put back the coffee at the table, and Jared spoke after some time, “This is a new product that was personally made by me. It isn’t too much for me to ask for your opinion on this, right?”

Nicole’s eyes stayed at the practice question as she responded half-heartedly, “This is the best coffee I’ve had. Give me a minute.”

Then…. Nicole just blatantly ignored him and started doing her Math Olympiad questions seriously!
