Chapter 1154
Though they were situated in two different parts of the world, they were protecting the very
same thing.
The next day, Harvey knocked on Nicole's door. "Nicole, do you want to have breakfast
together?"
When the first rap was not answered, he knocked on her door a few more times. "Nicole?"
Then, her door creaked open, revealing a Nicole with tousled hair as she stood before him.
"Order a takeaway for me when you go out for your meal later."
Harvey was shocked to see Nicole looking so unkempt. "What happened, Nicole?"
"What do you mean ‘what happened'? I'm fine," she replied.
Nicole had stayed up all night, so her eyes were bloodshot and her lids were drooping.
"Are you sure that you're fine?" Harvey asked as he studied her from top to toe.
"What's wrong?" Nicole looked at him with her brow raised before turning to the mirror.

Then, she walked out after she was done grooming herself. "Why are you still here?"
"I'm worried about you," he replied. "What happened? Why do you
even look like this?"
Harvey was baffled as he wondered, 'She was perfectly fine yesterday, and we even strolled around the area. Why
does she look so tired this morning?'
"Like I said, I'm fine. I just stayed up to take care of some work- related stuff. You should have your breakfast now,
and please, remember to get me some food after you're done." Nicole pushed Harvey aside and walked out.
"Alright, I'll get you some food right now. You should catch some rest." Harvey looked at Nicole before heading
downstairs, worried and downcast.
Nicole closed the door and walked back to her room where she fell asleep before she even knew it.
Suddenly, she was jolted awake by a notification on her phone.
She then grabbed it and saw that Zeke had sent her a message. " The firewall yesterday was a success. It hasn't
been hacked at all. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to trace their exact location."
"The assault was a rather aggressive one, and yet you still weren't able to trace them? What's going on?" Nicole
responded, beginning to doubt Zeke's expertise.
"I'm bummed out too. With my skills, I didn't think I'd fail. Do you think that they might be professionals?" Zeke
texted back with a shocked emoji at the end of the sentence.
"Well, that's not impossible. You should focus on guarding the system today. I'll find another way to trace them,"
Nicole replied, and went off to give herself a rinse.
While she was in the midst of it, she heard a knock on her door again, and so, she hurried out of the bathroom to
answer it. " You're done eating already? Well, that's quick."
"No, not yet. I've brought it all up to eat with you because I don't want you to starve yourself," Harvey replied,
concerned as he walked over to the couch and took a seat.
"Thanks, you go ahead. I'll join you when I'm done washing up." Nicole then returned to the washroom to continue
grooming herself.
She walked out of the washroom and joined him on the couch thereafter, but the instant she
saw that the food on the coffee table had remained untouched, she asked, "Why haven't you

"I told you that I'm going to eat with you." Harvey felt a lot better the moment he saw Nicole's
current state. 'At least her hair is tidier now.'
"Tuck in." Nicole took a sandwich and gave it to Harvey.
"Nicole, are you still going to the manufacturing base of the manned flying cars today?" Harvey
asked as he looked at Nicole.
"Nope," she replied. "You and Kelly can do whatever you want today."
"Whatever we want? So where are we heading off to today?" Harvey looked at Nicole with his
head tilted.
"You can discuss with Kelly about this," she said. "I'm not joining you today."
"You're not joining us? What are you going to do then?" Harvey asked Nicole with a brow raised
and his forehead creased.
"I have to stay here and take care of something important," she answered. "I can't disclose the
details to you, though. Anyway, thanks for the breakfast. I'm done, so I'll get back to business
now.
"Oh, and remember to close the door on your way out." Nicole finished and made a beeline for
her computer.
