Chapter 889
My Wife is a Hacker
Gloria hurriedly pulled her back.
âWhatâs the hurry? Stay for dinner, and then only go.â
Since she last reprimanded Nicole at school, Gloria clearly felt that her relationship with Nicole was drifting apart little by little because of Norah.
Nicole gave up upon seeing her motherâs reluctance to see her go.
âOkay.â
Gloria and Daniel breathed a sigh of relief and smiled in unison. She sat in the middle of the couch with Nicole on her left and Norah on her right.
âNorah, has school been preparing for finals lately?â Gloria asked with concern.
âYeah, now Iâm studying and doing mockâup questions every day. Itâs killing me.â Norah complained.
ââThatâs tiring. Do you want to take a day off to rest?â Gloria was afraid that the pressure would be too much and wear Norah out.
âI have taken a day off and want to go out tomorrow to unwind,â Norah said, seemingly unintentionally, but her eyes glanced at Nicole.
âMom, is Sean going with you to Mr. Harmonâs house tomorrow?â Norah asked.

âOh, I told Sean about it. Since he is in charge of the Aegis Corporation project, he should build rapport with Mr. Harmon.â Nicole explained.
Gloria nodded her head.
âThatâs great. He can get to know Mr. Harmon, and it will make things easier next time.â
âMom, is Mr. Harmon someone powerful? I see everyone respects him a lot,â Norah asked Gloria curiously.
âMr. Harmon is the CEO of Aegis Corporation, so, of course, he is powerful. But as to exactly how powerful he is, Iâve never seen it. Only Nicole has seen him.â Gloria did not know how to describe Scott as a whole.
âNicole, since youâve met Mr. Harmon, can you tell us about him?â Norah, driven by curiosity, asked Nicole.
âThereâs nothing to tell. I donât know him well.â Norah did not give up.
âEven if you donât know him well, youâve at least met him. We havenât met him, so you can tell your parents about him in advance.â
Norah used her parents as an excuse, and now Nicole could not refuse. But she really had nothing to say; she was really not familiar with Mr. Harmon. Nicole sighed helplessly. As long as Norah was here, she would not stop.
âMom, Dad, I have only met Mr. Harmon once at the tender venue. The impression I got was one of authority but not intimidating,â Nicole said.
âItâs okay. Tomorrow we will get to know each other. Just be mindful of what you say and treat things as normal.â Daniel said, coming to Nicoleâs rescue. Otherwise, Norah would still ask endless questions.
With that, they chatted on the couch for a while longer. Mostly it was Norah talking to Gloria while Daniel and Nicole watched TV on the other side.
During dinner, Norah kept thinking about Nicoleâs invitation to Mr. Harmonâs house tomorrow. So she found something to say to Gloria.
âWhat time will you be back tomorrow? I will be waiting for you at home.â
âWell, Iâm not sure about that. You donât have to wait for us. Go hang out with your classmates,â Gloria said.
âHave you forgotten? Iâm taking a day off tomorrow, and all my classmates are at school. So thereâs no one to keep me company.â Norah sounded as if she was lonely.
âAah, my memory fails me. So you will be home by yourself tomorrow. I thought you were going out with your classmates.â
âYeah, if you guys come back late tomorrow, I guess I will be home alone all day,â Norah said with a sad look on her face.
Gloria saw it and could not bring herself to leave Norah alone at home.
âItâs not like you can take a day off every time. Being at home alone is too lonely. I will see what I can do.â
Suddenly Gloria thought of an idea and looked at Norah.
â Why donât you go with us tomorrow so you wonât be alone?â
