Nicole nodded, as she felt touched. "Okay."
With Jared by her side, she felt safe.
After he had dressed her wound and bandaged it carefully, Jared glanced at the time.
Realizing that it was quite late already, he got up and said,” You should get some rest. I'll go home now."
Due to the fact that she was injured, Jared did not wish to keep her from getting the rest she needed.
“Alright, let me walk you out," she offered.
In response, Jared teased, "It's fine. If you really want to send me off, give me a kiss."
Those flirtatious words immediately prompted the butler and the other servants to look away.
Nicole rolled her eyes at him. "What a joke. Quick, go home! I don't want to send you off anymore."
Jared was teasing, but it was then that he threw himself forward, quickly stole a kiss from her lips, and moved away at once.
Nicole's face instantly became bright red, and she quickly shot the butler a glance.
Luckily, they had turned away and were not looking at the couple.
Seeing this, Nicole playfully punched Jared. "Drive safe."
Jared smiled. "Don’t miss me too much."
Then, Jared left.
As Nicole watched Jared leave, she felt the heat on her shoulders, and her heart began to register a sense of sadness and longing.
That was the first time Nicole felt something like this. She could not understand why she had even began to feel sad about being separated from Jared. After taking a deep breath, she brushed those feelings off.
Then, Nicole turned around and headed upstairs.
After she had freshened up and put on a fresh set of clothes, Nicole took a seat in front of her computer, wanting to settle some school matters.
However, the first thing that caught her eyes was the news about the Fisher family.
There, it was confirmed that Fiorella Fisher had suffered burns on seventy percent of her body. In other words, she would be permanently disfigured.
Nicole forgot to ask Jared about the Fishers when he was still around here. Although she had a clear answer in her heart already, she still wanted a double confirmation. After all, Jared had really gotten into a huge conflict with the Fisher family because of her.
Nicole then took a deep breath and closed the webpage, preparing to hack into the school’s CCTV.
At the Finley family’s side of the city, Gary was helping Ryder with the managing of the system of the company's partners. He wanted to use this as an opportunity to hone his skills in IT.
However, at that moment, there was a warning of a breach in the school’s server.
Gary's eyes began to narrow. The Finley family's security system was the best in San Joto. That was why all of the local companies were willing to work with them.
Although it was just the school’s security system, it was a product of the Ellison Group. Their security was also considered to be among the best, but during the last time, someone had successfully hacked into the school's system. Furthermore, it was the top hacker, Lucifer, who had done it.
He knew that Lucifer was a member of the school, but he had yet to find out who that person was. And just like that, someone was trying to hack into the school system again.
"I've long waited for your arrival!"
Gary did not manage to catch that person the last time. This time around, he was determined to do so.
"Who knows? It might be Lucifer again!’ he thought.
On Nicole's side, she was browsing through the school's system when she quickly found the camera recording which she had been looking for.
At that moment, she felt that someone had noticed her hacking.
She pursed her lips in a playful manner. 'l never knew that San Joto has a person talented enough to notice my hacking.’
However, Nicole was not bothered by that. She simply typed a few lines of code and created a countermeasure at an instant. Then, she continued checking the CCTV footage.
Gary, on the other hand, immediately began to feel the pressure mounting on him because of the few lines of code which Nicole had typed.
