Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

Chapter 863

Leo said, "Hurry over, my mom's already tidied up your room. The bedding's been washed and sun-dried."

Anya sighed, "Alright then."

Anya, albeit reluctantly, went to pack her bags.

Leo watched her from the roadside, "Don't bother with heavy coats; I'll get you some when winter comes. And pack fewer socks; I can always buy you more. Babe, why are you taking that blanket? Our house... Hello?! Ugh, hung up on me again." Frustrated, Leo put down his phone.

He couldn't shake the feeling that their roles had reversed since he last saw Anya.

Tired of Chad's incessant nagging, Anya ended the video call and continued packing with newfound efficiency.

Resigned to the situation, Leo noticed a location shared in his chat group. Putting his phone aside, he drove to the usual hacker hangout.

"Look who's here! Leo, where's that fancy McLaren of yours? Why the switch to a sedan?"

Curiosity buzzed among the group.

Leo walked in, joking, "Girlfriends are expensive, had to sell the car to keep up."

"Is that the girl from last time? She's all over your profile pic."

Leo nodded with a grin, "Yeah, she's got an appetite, costs me a fortune."

Sensing Leo's reluctance to share more, they teased him before getting serious. "Leo, we've got a gig for you, interested?"

"What kind of gig?" Leo asked.

Lowering his voice, a man leaned in, "We're talking about hacking the dark web. The payout's fifty million. If we pull it off, we split it."

Leo's smile faded to a skeptical look, then forced a grin, "Taozi, you're joking, right? That's the dark web. It's not like we can just waltz in and out. I'd love the cash, but I'm not that good."

IT guy at Leo's company, nudged him, "Rumor has it someone did it solo, like a cyber god. The whole dark web's on edge looking for them. It's a good time for us to move. Fifty million split ten ways is five million each. That's more than
