My Wife is a Hacker novel (Nicole)

Chapter 235

“What did you say?”He then realized his gaffe and quickly and clearly clarified something. After hanging up, he looked at Jared with a hint of confusion in his eyes.
“Boss, Lloyd said someone would come and perform the surgery on Nicole’s grandfather. The doctor is of high caliber and has surpassed Lloyd two years earlier. He asked us not to worry,” Claus said.
“But how did he know about this?”
With the Riddle family’s stature, they should not have been able to contact Lloyd at all. There was a glimmer in Jared’s eyes. He pressed the elevator button, hurried in, and soon reached the ground floor.

Claus was following behind him, looking at his back in puzzlement, not knowing what his boss was thinking. But when the elevator doors opened, and he saw Nicole’s beautiful and indifferent face, he seemed to have figured out something. It turned out that Nicole was downstairs. No wonder Jared was staring out the window when he was in the hospital CEO’s office. Thinking of this, he looked at the two of them and smiled ambiguously, then walked outside with a key in his hand.
“I’ll go get the car. You two talk,” Claus said.
Jared looked at Nicole in front of him, her face as calm and composed as ever, looking as if nothing could affect her judgment. Even if there was a landslide in front of her, she would still not bat an eyelid. There was a knowing look in his eyes when what Claus had just said came to mind. His eyes sparkled in the light as if lights were refracted through his pupils. Nicole looked at him, but there was no emotion in her eyes.
“Did you see your grandfather?” Jared asked, his smile gentle and his voice soft. Nicole nodded and stepped into the elevator. “You go back first. Thank you for sending me here today.”
Jared said nothing more, just watching as the elevator doors closed and Nicole disappeared from his sight. He stood where he was and gently clenched his fingers. He thought that after what they had been through together abroad, she would change her mind about him. But he was wrong; she was still so distant. He even felt a bit of frustration. 1
Nicole was back on the tenth floor. When Steve saw her back, he let out a gentle smile. “That’s fast.”
