CHAPTER 139: CHAPTER 139: CAN’T BEAR TO PART?

"Brother Nathan, do you have a plan?"

Nina’s eyes immediately brightened.

"Nina, this is actually quite simple. Typically, the project proposal is sent electronically to every director’s inbox. Even July will receive one. At this time, we just need to find a computer expert to hack into July’s computer, whether it’s the project proposal or the program’s flow chart, we can effortlessly obtain them."

"But computer experts are not people we can normally reach."

In Nina’s eyes, these hackers seemed utterly beyond reach.

But Nathan laughed, saying, "This is nothing you need to worry about, Nina. My roommate from Aethelgard in college happens to be in the top three on the COMEX hacker list."

"Top three on the COMEX hacker list? Will he help us?"

Even though she had never encountered hackers before, Nina had heard about the COMEX hacker list.

Apparently, this list gathers the cream of the crop in the field of computer science from various countries.

Some are said to have been recruited into national computer security departments, while others directly hold top management positions in computer companies.

In short, these people do not lack money, so trying to impress them with money is almost impossible.

"He will. Because back in college, I gave Ollie financial support, and he’s indebted to me."

Ollie is the hacker ranked in the top three on the COMEX list.

In those days, Ollie refused to follow the family plan and recklessly went to study in Aphelion, leading his family to cut off financial support.

During that period, Ollie was so poor he couldn’t even afford instant noodles.

Thus, the generous Nathan gave him financial support, earning Ollie’s high praise.

As for how Nathan discovered that this destitute Ollie was one of the top three on the COMEX hacker list, it was merely a coincidence.

"I’ll call him shortly to help you through this crisis."

Nathan spoke affectionately.

Nina immediately wrapped her arms around his waist, "Thank you, Brother Nathan..."

"No need to thank me, I should thank you, thank you for giving me a chance at redemption."

Nathan held Nina tightly.

Nina smiled but did not respond.

If Nathan could help her defeat July and successfully sell the exclusive broadcasting rights for Project Lime, she was willing to entertain him for a while longer.

But if he couldn’t even handle this, then there would be no more chances for him to stand by her side...

Night falls, a small apartment—

July stepped into the door just as her work hours ended, yet discovered the room was still in darkness.

"Seriously, you tell me to come home on time, but you stay at the office."

July murmured complaints under her breath, only to be suddenly pinned against the wall.

Her lips, previously full of grievances, were sealed shut.

At first, July felt a trace of panic, but sensing the familiar presence of Kyle around her, she relaxed.

By the time this kiss ended, July felt as if most of her energy had been drained.

"What are you doing? So eager as soon as I walk in! Are you in a hurry?"

Her laptop fell to the ground because of this.

But he ignored her complaint, still holding her waist firmly.

"Yes, I’m in a hurry. I have to go on a business trip later."

He whispered by her ear.

His voice was hoarse, yet alluring.

"It’s nighttime, and you still have to travel?"

July’s eyebrows furrowed.

She had finally waited for this man to admit she mattered to him, thinking the coming days would be more pleasant, but now she faced separation?

Moreover, she didn’t expect what was yet to come.

"Yes, it might take half a month!" He gently stroked her face and said.

"That long?" The crease between July’s brows grew more pronounced.

"Reluctant?" He squinted his deep eyes, as if probing something.

July immediately concealed any emotions she shouldn’t have shown, putting on a calm face, "Not at all!"

"Then shall I go?" He was poised to leave.

July quickly pulled him back.

Kyle turned back, his lips curled slightly, seemingly mocking her for being inconsistent.

July hastily found an excuse, "What are you laughing at? I’m just reminding you not to forget your luggage."

"It’s already packed, over there." Kyle pointed casually.

July then noticed a suitcase already placed beside the cabinet at the entrance.

A rush of inexplicable anxiety suddenly erupted in July’s heart.

"Alright then, hurry up and go. Take one or two months to return..."

She suddenly began urging Kyle to leave.

Kyle acted according to her words, picking up the suitcase and heading for the door.

Watching his departing figure, July’s nose unexpectedly felt a little sore.

Yet, just then, halfway through, the man suddenly set down his suitcase and turned back, once again pulling July into his arms, planting gentle kisses on her forehead...
