My Wife is a Hacker novel (Nicole)

Chapter 46

Jared started to frown with frustration as he wondered. He called his assistant, Max, over and whispered something into his ear. Max nodded gently After some time, Nicole’s order arrived, and she noticed that there were two coffee mugs. She looked up at Max, who brought her order, and signaled him to explain himself wiith her eyes. Somehow, Max, who was under Nicole’s stare, felt as if he was facing his boss. He wiped the sweat on the edge of his forehead and said politely, “Miss Riddle, this is the café’s new product. Since you have a deep understanding of our coffee, the café owner specially ordered me to send you a cup for you to have a taste.” ‘The café owner?’ Nicole turned around and saw Jared casually playing with his coffee mug. When he saw her looking over at him, he smiled playfully and gestured for her to drink the coffee. Nicole felt like he seemed to want her to try the new product.
She thought about it and raised her mug to have a sip indifferently. The new coffee was rich in flavor and was packed with a dense taste. It was not the usual taste of coffee, and she had few comments in her mind.
Jared watched her as she was drinking the coffee.
Nicole took some time before she commented, “If I’m not mistaken, this is probably the coffee beans harvested from Mr. Johnston’s private estate in France. The bitterness of the beans was turned pleasant, and the latest freeze-drying technique was applied as the processing method. The low temperature will keep the original taste of the coffee beans and allow them to be heavily frothy. The coffee filled with a rich aroma will leave only a pleasant taste in the mouth with no sourness.
Before Max could speak, Jared was already walking toward Nicole as he clapped. “Not bad at all. You’ve got a good taste, Miss Riddle! You’ve got everything right.” Jared had waited for her for a few days, and she, as expected, did not let him down. Not only did this girl know about the coffee beans from his estate, but she had also tried the newest product before.
“Miss Riddle, my coffee beans are the newest batch. There isn’t enough time for us to send some to Mr. Ellison, so where have you tasted it?”
At that moment, Nicole’s expression changed. It turns out that Jared still had not gotten over it. Was he setting traps for her? Nicole could tell that he did not believe her lies at all!
Jared just took a seat across from her when he saw her slightly panicking. He then stared at her teasingly as he waited for her response. “Besides, why are you so familiar with the coffee beans from my private estate? You even know about the processing methods so well.”
