Chapter 172 Ethan Counter-Hacks Daniel's Computer

In the CEO's office, Jasmine walked in and immediately noticed a cup of hot milk on the desk.

"Liam, is this for me?" Jasmine asked, surprised.

"Yeah." Liam nodded, confirming it was indeed for her.

Jasmine thanked him with a smile.

"Ah, don't mention it. I lost a bet and now I have to be your errand boy for three months," Liam said dismissively, intentionally omitting that the order was actually from Ethan.

He did the work, so he'd take the credit too.

"You really shouldn't worry about it," Jasmine quickly replied in a hushed voice. "Mr. Ethan will forget about it in a few days."

"I'm not deaf," Ethan chimed in, seated at his desk, tapping the surface to remind her of his presence.

Jasmine giggled and took a sip of the milk - sweet, probably with just a touch of sugar, not too much, just perfect.

"Mr. Ethan asked me to buy that slightly sweetened milk, said you might like it," Liam finally admitted under Ethan's glowering gaze.

Jasmine felt pleasantly flattered and whispered a "thank you" to Ethan.

"I'm heading to a meeting. Upload the Desert Project content to my computer - encrypt the files," Ethan reminded her.

Jasmine hesitated for a moment, noticing that Ethan seemed to trust her a lot. However, this type of task was typically reserved for a secretary.

Ethan hadn't made a move on Vittoria yet, but he had slowly begun to sideline her. Jasmine knew that once she was capable of temporarily taking over the work from Vittoria's hands, it would be Ethan's moment to strike at her.

By now, Vittoria must have sensed something was amiss. Vittoria was also a person Jasmine had to watch cautiously.

"Mr. Ethan?" Jasmine sat at Ethan's computer desk and glanced at the booted-up computer.

Ethan had just reached the door when he looked back. "Yes?"
