My Wife is a Hacker (Nicole Riddle and Jared) novel Chapter 2559

Chapter 2559

"It's okay." Lawrence did not show any disappointment. He just glanced at Nicole and said, "Since that's the case, how about having dinner together?"

"No need to trouble yourself. Mr. Johnston is on his way to pick up his wife now," Patricia said. She stood by Nicole's side with a cold and indifferent expression.

Lawrence glanced at Patricia with dark eyes. He had a strong feeling that Patricia was not someone to be messed with.

Patricia's presence, next to Nicole, was nonexistent when she remained silent earlier. But it was the complete opposite when she started speaking.

"This is..." Lawrence pretended to be somewhat puzzled.

"My assistant." Nicole kept it vague.

Lawrence's gaze darkened. "Isn't Lulu your assistant?"

"Lulu has been busy lately, and she's going on her honeymoon soon, so I hired a new one,” Nicole explained with a smile, coming up with a convincing reason.

Hearing this, Lawrence did not press further and simply smiled. "Well, too bad then."

"Let's do it another time." Nicole was pretty tired too, so she did not want to have lunch with him.

"Sure, I'll see you next time." Lawrence did not persist.

Nicole saw Jared's car driving in, so she said, "I'll be leaving now."

"Bye," Lawrence replied, watching Nicole board the car and leave. Once she was gone, Lawrence's expression turned cold and ruthless.

Lawrence got back into the car, and Ian asked, "Mr.

Lawrence, is everything all right?"

If this person had been arranged by Jared to be around Nicole, there was only one possibility—to protect her. But did Nicole need someone to protect her? Something must have happened, or...

Lawrence's eyes turned dark as he looked out of the car window, deep in thought.

Meanwhile, in Jared's car, Patricia was sitting in the passenger seat. Her voice low as she said, "I've taken care of my identity, so they won't find anything."

"From now on, unless there are special circumstances, just go to and from work normally." Nicole looked at Patricia. Since Patricia was using an ordinary identity, she should not show that she had a special status.

"Okay," Patricia replied respectfully.

After a while, they arrived back at the Riddle residence.

Nicole and Jared entered the house, while Max and Patricia left.

In the living room, Nicole noticed that Nolan and Lana had not returned yet and casually asked, "Are Nolan and Lana not home yet?"
