Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo

Chapter 17

Nicole had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree to it.

She could only take one step at a time now.

Meanwhile, Evan narrowed his eyes. Kyle’s hacking skills were taught by the world’s top hacker, so Nicole would definitely be no match for him.

Hopefully, after that, Kyle would think that she was stupid and come to hate her.

When Kyle can’t stand her anymore, I can tell him that she’s his mother whom he has been wanting to meet. By then, he will definitely not accept her.

That’d be great then!

“Dr. Tussaud is extremely good at hacking. She easily changed my company’s encryption key. So, Ms. Tussaud, don’t hesitate to guide Kyle while practicing with him, will you?”

Evan’s exaggerated bragging made it sound like Nicole was an expert, sparking Kyle’s curiosity so much that he wished to get it on with her right away.

Nicole’s heart was pounding as she listened to Evan. My cover will definitely be blown if we were to start hacking now.

I must do something.

“Kyle, didn’t you promise to get treatment first? It’s more important.”

“Alright, then. Make it quick. We’ll have a go after it’s done!”

Nicole had no choice but to nod her head in agreement.

This time around, Kyle was cooperative and did not even frown. It was as if he did not feel any pain at all.

However, Nicole felt distressed seeing a child showing such a high tolerance to pain.

“It must have hurt a lot. I can give you a break before continuing with other acupoints.”

“Enough talk. Keep going!”

Saying nothing, Nicole sighed and continued with the acupuncture.

After the acupuncture treatment was over, Kyle got off the bed immediately, ready to have a “hacking battle” with Nicole.

“Kyle, you can rest first.”

“Nah, there’s no need to! There are several computers in the study. You can choose whichever you want.”

Nicole was stunned for a while, feeling guilty. “I need to use the washroom first.”

After which, she left in a hurry.

Once she was inside the washroom, she locked the door and let out a long sigh.

She then took out her phone and moved her fingers on the screen as she muttered, “Juan, you’re the only one who can help me right now.”

She found Juan’s number and sent him a message. Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Five minutes later, she walked out of the washroom.

“I’m ready.”

Seeing her confident stance, Kyle frowned. Could it be that this woman is really good at hacking?

“Let’s go to the study!”

“But I have a request—we have to do it in different rooms!”

“Why?”

“To keep you from peeking at my screen!”

Kyle shot Nicole a disapproving look and wondered where she got her confidence to say such a thing.

“As you wish!”

Immediately afterward, the two of them went into the study to choose their “battle weapons”. After a while, Nicole held a laptop and walked into one of the guest rooms.

After that, she immediately texted Juan so that he could control the laptop remotely.

In the study, Kyle took his time to build the firewall, but it was cracked within a few minutes.

This lady is really something!

He raised the level of difficulty.

Similarly, it was cracked within minutes.

In a fit of anger, he raised the degree of difficulty to the highest, which was a feat taught to him by the world’s top hacker. He didn’t believe that it could be cracked.

Just when he was confident that he would win, a firewall alert popped up.

Kyle widened his eyes in surprise as he began to work on resolving it with intense concentration.

Looking at the screen, Nicole frowned slightly and suddenly halted Juan’s remote access to her laptop.

That’s enough. If Juan can really defeat Kyle, it will definitely deal a blow to Kyle.

On the other end, Juan thumped the table after his remote access was cut off. What is mommy doing?

I was still figuring out how to crack this rare firewall system.

The more he thought about it, the more upset he felt. Thus, he took his phone and called his mother.

Nicole glanced at the door before answering the phone with her voice lowered, “Juan, that’s enough help.”

“Mommy, the system Kyle builds is so complicated. I was still looking into it. Why did you-”

“Can you crack it?”

“I’m not sure. It is quite advance, and I’ve never encountered one before.”

It seemed that Kyle was still more skillful than Juan was.

“Alright, Juan, you’ve already done a great job. It’s inconvenient for me to talk now. Talk to you later.”

After she hung up the phone, she started to click around cluelessly.

Earlier, Kyle had asked her to practice with him for two hours a day. But since she had decided not to take it too far, she could just spend two hours dilly-dallying on the screen. Surely, Kyle would not come up with other tactics after this?

It was not until two hours had passed that Nicole walked out of the room.

“You’re amazing, Kyle. I can’t crack it. I surrender.”

Saying nothing, Kyle looked up at Nicole, feeling angry.
