My Wife is a Hacker novel (Nicole)

Chapter 2983

After refreshing herself, Nicole made her way to the hotel's breakfast area. She chose a light yet nourishing meal and was on her way back to her room when she suddenly sensed someone's presence. Reacting swiftly, she stopped, narrowly avoiding a collision and a potential breakfast disaster.

Nicole's gaze landed on the man before her as she stepped back, her eyes narrowing ever so slightly.
