Chapter 61

Rose protested softly, “You’re the one nitpicking.”

It was fortunate she knew his tastes. He liked his coffee on the bitter side, yet he abnormally asked for a coffee seventy percent sweet today. Rose sensed then that he wanted to cause trouble out of nothing.

It was lucky that she had been mindful and cleverly exposed his plot. This stopped his unprovoked troubling of her just in time.

Only, she had greatly underestimated Jay’s penchant for seeking vengeance for the smallest grievances.

Jay turned on his computer and randomly brought up the webpage of a company under Grand Asia. Using his so-far peerless hacker skills, he added a few firewalls to the webpage, then looked at Rose and prepared to let her fall into his trap.

“Rose Loyle, Grand Asia’s Qiling’s network has been infiltrated by hackers. Turn on the computer over there at once and return Qilin to normal as soon as possible.”

Rose stared at Jay’s smiling-yet-unsmiling eyes and felt that there was something odd about this task, but one had to bow their heads beneath the eaves, so she could only obediently undertake it.

She turned the computer on. While she waited for the computer to boot up, Jay’s voice floated over like an evil spirit’s. “Rose, is one day’s time enough?”

Rose had always been the genius of the hacking empire. She had never met a worthy opponent ever since she was little. In the field she specialized in, she had once dominated the hacking empire for many years.

“Half a day is enough,” Rose said.

The corners of Jay’s lips lifted slightly. Qilin’s network issues were his handiwork. Rose wanting to unlock his key in half a day was such wishful thinking.

Forget half a day—she might not be able to resolve this even in her remaining lifetime.

On this earth, if someone could be his equal, it could be nobody but Angeline Severe.

“Half a day? Can you put that into writing?” Jay asked domineeringly.

Rose knew her success or failure concerned the entire Qilin’s regular operations. If the company webpage could not be used, a delay of an hour would bring losses of millions or even tens of millions.

Rose’s confidence made her accept Jay’s challenge calmly. “If I can’t finish this assignment in half a day, how you want to kill or break me is as you wish.” Rose possessed the chivalry of a jianghu person.

Jay nodded, smiling coldly. “Alright.”

He thought he could see this woman’s unconcealable look of shamefulness very soon. This was the result he was hoping to see.

Rose entered the primary page of the Qilin company’s website and noticed many of the functions’ links led to crashes. Moreover, the important database within was garbled. It seemed it did not require the skills she possessed, but it was clear it was a top-notch hacker’s malicious damage as Rose could not revert it to the normal system operations very quickly.

Jay watched Rose fully throw herself into her work. Seeing the area between her brows knit slightly, his sexy lips quirked up in a wicked arc.

When office hours were over, Jay sinisterly said to Rose, “I think you should succeed very soon, shouldn’t you? Remember to close the doors and windows properly before you get off work. I’ll get Mimi to prepare a personal office for you tomorrow.”

“Yes.” Rose did not have the time to deal with him.

Jay left gleefully.

This overconfident woman was so proud and arrogant, and she did not know to refuse him. He wanted her to have a taste of shame.

Tomorrow, she would still be unable to decipher the hacker code. How would she face him?

Grand Asia’s employees clocked out one after another. Rose sent a voice message to her kids, telling them that she had to stay at the company for overtime a little while and urging them to be careful on the way home from school as well as get dinner themselves.

What went around, came around.
