My Wife is a Hacker

"It's possible," said Nicole. Otherwise, Lawrence wouldn't need to resort to such roundabout tactics.

"What should we do? Play along with his plan?" Lulu asked.

Nicole looked at Lulu, pausing for a moment before replying, "I might need your help with this." "Don’t say it like that. I'll do everything I can to help," Lulu responded with resolve.

She was committed to supporting Nicole, both professionally and personally.

Tapping the file, Nicole spoke firmly, "I'm entrusting this project to you. It might be challenging, but you can requisition personnel or any resources from any department in the company."

The company Lawrence had transferred the project to had no real substance, even nearing collapse, which meant the entire burden would fall on Riddle Corporation, specifically on Lulu. She could anticipate the difficulties.

Lulu nodded vigorously, "I understand. I'll do my best."

She couldn't let Nicole down, especially since the task was entrusted to her. She was determined to succeed.

"Don't be nervous or feel too pressured. Even if it doesn't work out, it's not your fault. I just need you to take on this task so that Lawrence thinks we've fallen for his trap." Nicole knew this was a tough mission, so whatever Lulu managed to achieve would be enough.

"I know, but I still want to do it well," Lulu replied, ready to give it her all, so she would have no regrets, regardless of the outcome.

After handing over the files to Lulu, Nicole gave a reassuring smile. "Go ahead and get started. If you have any doubts, you can always come to me.

"Alright, I'll get going then." Lulu left with the files. This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Nicole took a deep breath, picked up her phone, and hesitated before sending a message. [Thank you.] [No problem.]

Seeing the two-word reply, Nicole slightly bit her lip, eventually setting the phone aside and picking up her documents to continue with her work.

As dusk settled, Nicole left the office, finding Jared already waiting for her.

Settling into the car, she leaned back in her seat and let out a sigh.

"You look tired," Jared observed, his tone laced with concern.

Nicole shook her head slightly and replied, "It's okay, just feeling a bit down, that's all." "About the MierMare Group situation?" Jared seemed to have anticipated the reason.

Nicole looked at him in surprise. "You know about it too!"

She thought only a few were aware, but Jared had also been informed.

"While not many are in the loop, I'm certainly one of the few," Jared said, holding Nicole's hand gently and offering a reassuring smile. "Don't worry, my company is already drafting plans to acquire MierMare Group."

Nicole blinked, understanding Jared's intentions and feeling a warmth spread through her.

"I've handed the project over to Lulu. I'm not fixated on the outcome, as our real focus should be on the underlying motives behind all this," Nicole said meaningfully.

Holding her hand softly, Jared spoke gently, "I want all the best outcomes."

He meant not just for the project, but also to thwart whatever underlying scheme Lawrence might have. He wouldn't let Lawrence succeed.

Nicole smiled, feeling the day's accumulated stress dissipate with Jared's comforting presence, embracing a sense of sudden clarity and ease.' Indeed, it's just the beginning, and we should hope for the best.'

After a while, the couple picked up Nolan and Lana, then returned to the Riddle residence.

The house was filled with the inviting aroma of dinner, a comforting scent that warmed the heart.
