My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 1338

"Thanks," she said, ignoring the look of bafflement on their faces.

Nicole left the control room and returned to the office on the top floor, after which she switched her computer on and began the process of scanning the man's face. Although he was wearing a mask underneath, she possessed a cutting edge software which could restore the outline of the lower half of the perpetrator's face.

Nicole was pensive as she eyed the face that had been digitally constructed. She had never seen this person before, and it was unlikely that she had inadvertently instigated a vendetta.

Nicole logged into The Hunter, after which she posted forth a mission to seek information about this man. She had no time to spare on trivial yet arduous tasks such as these, so she decided to leave it to others.

Unexpectedly, Zeke called her not long after she had posted the assignment on the website. "Nicole, why don't you just call me when you have something that needs taking care of?"

Nicole did not expect that Zeke would even want to take on such a small task, and so, she frowned. "You're a phantom. How can you take on jobs such as these?"

"Yeah, sure, I won't take other people's work, but it is my duty to help you out!" he argued.

Nicole had aided him in a mission of his own before, and thus, it was out of courtesy that he had to return the favor.

"Don't you have better things to do?" Nicole raised her eyebrows, 'This guy can complete a mission worth hundreds and thousands of dollars, and yet he wants to do this?'

"This tiny task won't take up much of my time at all. I'll promise to bring you news as soon as possible." Zeke hung up directly after quoting the price.

Nicole could not help but curl her lips into a smile, 'Although this guy likes to screw around, he's still pretty reliable.'

Nicole then placed all of her focus on her work, and in the blink of an eye, time drifted. Before she knew it, it was already lunch time. She stood up to stretch, and was about to order herself a takeaway when she heard a knock on the door of her office. Nicole raised her head hesitantly and saw Edward's face.

'The last time I saw him, I was helping him deal with Rowan's affairs, and that was so long ago,' she thought. 'I didn't expect to see him again today. He was one of Preston's friends.'

Nicole did not treat him with coldness and indifference, opting to address him calmly instead. "What's the matter?"

"Oh, I came here to look for Harvey today," he said. "Instead I found out that your R&D center is here in Golden Coast. I was looking for a chance to thank you for the last favor you've done me, but I haven't had the chance to meet you since then."
