Chapter 52 The Wife Behaves Strangely Around Us

• Seeing Gary stare over, Wayne stopped talking. Jack looked at the two people in puzzlement. Just then, the school bell rang, and Ms. Emerson walked in to get ready for class. Jack scratched his head and opened the textbook, but his eyes involuntarily drifted toward Nicole. ‘She has a wasp waist.’ BANG! “What are you doing, Gary?” The entire class looked back and saw that Jack had fallen to the ground along with his chair. He was rubbing his butt indecently, looking confusedly at Gary. Gary, on the other hand, slowly pulled back his leg and looked at Ms. Emerson with a rectitude. Hearing Jack’s question, he said faintly, “Oh, my foot slipped this time.” Ms. Emerson looked suspiciously at the two from the podium. She then asked Jack to put the chair back up before continuing the lesson. This time, Jack had learned his lesson; he stopped looking at Nicole but stared at the hem of Ms. Emerson’s skirt and did not get kicked again. After class, Wayne laughed at him for gawking at Ms. Emerson. Jack looked at him austerely.“ You know nothing.” He must not stare at Nicole; otherwise, he would be kicked. So he thought he might just as well focus on Ms. Emerson. The longer he stared at her, the more peaceful he felt. After school, Nicole slowly packed up her stuff.
• Lulu thought Nicole was going back to her dorm and wanted to go with her, but Nicole was going to the café. There were too many eyes in the dormitory. She had better sit at the café and work on her mission from there. Since that was the case, Lulu said nothing further. Nicole was walking alone on the street and noticed that there were always some annoying, contemptuous stares from others. Nicole raised an eyebrow, knowing that it was because of Snow. So she did not bother to respond to them. Arriving at the café, Nicole said hello to the staff and sat down at her usual spot. It was her professional habit to find the safest spot wherever she went. The corner was well lit but not directly facing the window. There was also a thick partition separating her table from the adjacent ones, but this did not affect her line of sight to observe her surroundings. Besides, not far behind her, there was an escape route through which she could get away in case anything went wrong. Nicole sat down and took out her computer, which she had put in the bag this morning.
• People from all walks of life were going online, doing their stuff at the café. So it was an ideal place for hackers to perform their online activities. Nicole first logged in to her account. Specter was not online, so she left him a message, telling him she was safe before going offline. She then logged in to her new account, ready to check the progress of the $10-million mission that she had accepted. All hackers on The Hunters had heard about Lucifer. This was a nasty job, which she believed she was the only person who was willing to take. If the other party wanted to dig further, he or she would definitely pay attention to her backup &ccount. But five minutes later, Nicole was still staring at an empty chat box. She frowned. The person on the other side seemed more cunning and cautious than she thought. Nicole could not help but wonder if she had made a mistake somewhere and spooked them. Max was in a meeting at Johnson Group when he heard a notification on his mobile phone. The system automatically displayed an IP address, which was the location of Lucifer, who was daring enough to use a proxy account to accept jobs. Max motioned for the meeting to be adjourned and took out his phone and glanced at it.
