Chapter 443

Everett had finally made Dorothy his wife, with her name inked next to spouse on his official

documents, he found himself too giddy with joy to sleep for several nights

Dorothy was always surprised at how Everett, who appeared so stoic, seemed to have an insatiable

desire for her, as if he couldn’t get enough. But for Everett, it wasn’t just a newfound appetite for

pleasure. It was only in their intimate moments, in the tender whispers and the closeness of their

bodies, that he felt a deep sense of reality.

She was truly his.

His was her first love, his first sex experience, and his first wife.

Now, it seemed like the heavens had even blessed them with two children! Everett was over the moon,

yet that joy brought with it a fear

of loss

Having gained so much all at once, he tread carefully with every step, considering all aspects to avoid

future regrets.

As Dorothy stepped into the villa, she was immediately hit by a musty smell, a clear sign that no one

had lived there for a while. Dust lay thick on the chandeliers in the foyer.

She frowned delicately and scanned her surroundings, searching for the elusive cyber hacker she had

managed to make an Appointment with.

“Hello!”

Out of nowhere, a youthful voice called from behind her.

Dorothy turned toward the sound and saw a young man in a black hoodie lounging steady gaze

ng

on a

on a sofa by the villa’s window, watching her with a

“Are you Byte 7?‘ she asked.

“And you’re the one sent by the big shot at Lopez Corporation?” he countered without answering her

question.

Dorothy nodded, “Yes, that’s me.”

The sunlight streaming through the window made it difficult for her to see his face clearly, but she tried

to make out his features as best she could against the blinding light

“Spit it out. What do you want?” The impatience in the young man’s voice was palpable, his fingers still

tapping away at a keyboard. Hesitating for a moment, Dorothy asked with uncertainty. “The job I need

you to do… Can you keep the details to yourself? Don’t tell anyone, including Everett.”

“I don’t do arson or murder, and I’m not in the business of gossip for the smaller stuff, he replied briskly.

“Till take that as a yes, Dorothy said, taking out a damaged surveillance hard drive from her bag. “I

need to recover the data on this”

Finally, Byte 7 looked up at her, put his keyboard aside, and stood up.

He had seemed average height sitting down, but standing, he towered over her.

When he stepped out of the direct sunlight, his features became clear to Dorothy. He was a young man

with shining vigor.

He was tall, easily over six feet, but skinny. His clothes hung loose on his frame, and he had a slouch

that gave him a slightly rebellious

air.

He was not at all what Dorothy had expected from a top–tier hacker.

Byte 7 ignored her gaze, inspected her hard drive, and frowned, “This thing’s ancient.”

“Yeah, it’s almost five years old,” she confirmed

He took a piece of gum from his pocket, popped it in his mouth, and casually asked, “So, what’s your

offer?”

Dorothy’s face lit up, “You can do it?”

“Whether I take the job depends on what you’m offering.” He locked eyes with her for a few seconds

and then suddenly smiled slyly “You’re quite pretty. Are you single?”
