My Wife is a Hacker (Nicole Riddle and Jared) novel Chapter 2669

Chapter 2669

Harvey stormed out of Riddle Corporation and climbed into his car. He sulked in his seat and demanded, "Drive."

Mr. Ellison, is the project still a go?" his assistant asked cautiously. He looked at Harvey's pissed off expression.

Harvey shot back harshly, "Why can't we proceed?"

His assistant timidly replied, "Okay, Mr. Ellison." He quickly revved the car engine and began to drive without another peep.

Harvey was lost in his own thoughts, looking depressed. He had a lot of things to digest, especially after Nicole had noticed his plans and sent his grandfather away to save him from his threats.

Nicole's cold and distant attitude had thrown Harvey off. It told him that Nicole did not want to get involved with him in any way.

'Nicole is a treacherous person, with all her calculations. I'd like to see how long Jared will stay by her side and protect her,' thought Harvey.

Meanwhile, Jared and Nicole had just arrived at the Biz Club which was different from their usual clubs. It was more serene and calm, compared to the usual livelier clubs.

"What are we doing here?" asked Nicole, confusion written all over her face.

She looked around the room and noticed that it looked like a cocktail party. However it looked like a social gathering at the same time. Everyone around the room wore the same serious expression, instead of chattering around with some laughter here and there.

"An international event. I was thinking that if Riddle Corporation can get their hands on it, it'd be a great boost of recognition," said Jared to Nicole in a low voice.

Nicole's eyes widened. She had not expected that Jared would bring her to a place like this. Moreover, she had not asked him for help, yet he brought her here to participate in an event that she had not even heard about.

'Riddle Corporation must not be in their list to consider, seeing that I wasn't even aware of this event happening,' Nicole thought.

As if Jared had read Nicole's mind, he gave Nicole a comforting smile and reassured her, ’Don't worry. I'll be here with you all the way."

"It seems that Mr. Johnston is really willing to pass this project to a porcelain doll!"

"How can this be the daughter of the infamous family?"

Everyone was talking and laughing with one another. None of them dared to look at Nicole. It was not long before the person in charge of the event had arrived. Everyone soon began to settle in as the negotiation of the project started.

The negotiation had not gone as smoothly as intended as Nicole was still picking up the bits and pieces of how to deal with the international big shots.

'I guess this is where the line is drawn. Every sentence they

say seems to be like a piece of cake. One wrong step and you're left far behind,' Nicole thought to herself.

With Jared there to help Nicole, the results of the negotiation were pretty good. Though they did not manage to bag the project, Nicole managed to become one of the project partners.
