Chapter 30 Almost Busted Over at Malcolms end , the tech team was freaking out , faces white as sheets .
He couldnt wrap his head around how their smooth operation got wrecked so easily .
Malcolm was sitting next to Carl Ward , and the office vibe was 1 colder t than a polar bears toenails .
His eyes were a storm of mixed feelings .
Carl looked at Malcolm , guilt written all over his face , his voice shaky .
Mr.
Flynn , we … HE well , we blew it .
Didnt you just say everything was going smooth ? Carl had also mentioned hed dug up some dirt on this company .
Said it was a pretty impressive outfit , only hitting the big leagues two years that , it was just some no name studio .
Then a woman took over it , flipped the whole thing around , and in a short time , they were on top .
nago .
Before Now , they were right on their companys tail , and Malcolm was just starting to realize how fast theyd climbed .
He wanted to dig deeper , especially since last month , they snatched one of their projects .
To Malcolm , that was a slap in the face .
Carls voice was trembling .
Yeah … it was smooth at first .
But then , I dont know if they swapped out their team or what , but I couldnt get in anymore .
Instead , they hacked us and even stole one of our projects .
He could barely imagine how pissed Malcolm looked right then .
Malcolm squinted , a dangerous glint in his eyes .
Carl , we didnt hire you to make things easier for the competition or to make us look like fools ! Carl was brought on board with a fat paycheck because he was supposed to be a top tier hacker .
And now , he got outplayed so easily ? Talk about embarrassing ! Carl , scared out of his wits by Malcolms outburst , scrambled for a solution and blurted out , But … but even though they hacked us , I can location still trace t their Malcolms eyes lit up .
Well , track it down .
He was dying to know who this hotshot was that even the Flyn Flynn Groups best couldnt handle .
In no time , Henry pinpointed it .
He pointed across the street .
That person is in the cafe right across from us .
Malcolms eyes turned icy cold , and he barked at Justin .
Get over to that cafe and check everyone out .
There werent many folks sipping coffe a hit hour , and if it them off guard .

Perfect timing .
Justin nodded .
On it .
it was a hacker , theyd probably have a standout laptop .
Plus , if they moved fast , they d catch He quickly made his way to the café across the street .
Meanwhile , Reese had no clue Malcolm was onto her .
She casually took a sip of the coffey Calvin hadnt finished .
This coffees pretty good : Ill have them pack a cup for you to take back , Calvin offered , reaching for the waiter .
No need .
If Everly sees me bringing back coffee , shell just nag me more .
Shes worse than you guys .
Reese wasnt scared of Everly ; she could shut her up with a few words .
But she really couldnt stand anyone yapping in her ear .
It drove her nuts .
Calvin sighed and let it g gu .
Reese was a knockout, no doubt , but she was no delicate flower .
As he glanced down , he noticed the bracelet on her wrist , and it threw him for a loop .
Chapter 30 Atmost Rusted Reese , howd you end up with that bracelet ? Heese , clearly smitten with it , touched it again, a hint of pride flashing in her eyes .
My husband gave it to me .
Your husband dropped ten million bucks on that just for you ? Calvin chuckled , thinking back to yesterday .
If we knew Malcolm was buying it for you , we wouldnt have bid .
We jacked up the price from a few million to ten million , and your husbands cash ended up in someone elses pocket .
Yeah , no kidding Reese hadnt expected Malcolm to be so generous , splurging on such an expensive bracelet for her Alright , but I wonder if your husband would be mad enough to crush you if he knew he bought you that pricey bracelet and you stole a project from him .
Reese raised an eyebrow .
Depends .
Calvins gave Reese a thumbs up .
No wonder Im sticking with you till the end .
Youre definitely not like other women .
Is that a compliment or an insult ? Reese raised her hand , ready to punch Calvin .
He grinned mischievously , taking her punch and even patting it appreciatively .
Of course , its a compliment .
How could I dare insult you ? -Well … She didnt even finish her sentence when she spotted a familiar face out of the corner of her eye .
She instantly ducked down .
Calvin looked puzzled as Reese squatted .
Reese , what are you doing ? Shush .
That guy in the suit is Malcolms assistant .
He must ve tracked us down , Calvin suddenly remembered .
Oh crap , I forgot to disconnect the internet .
Cover me .
If he finds me , you better start looking for a new boss , Reese warned him Calvin was brimming with confidence .
Leave it to me .
Acting ? Im an Oscar worthy actor stuck in the wrong career .
werent in such a tight spot , she wouldve kicked him .
How did she end up with such a boastful subordinate ? If Reese werent in Justin scanned the cafe and finally zeroed in on Calvin .
His laptop was closed , but the power cord was still plugged in .
It was a high end model , the kind software pros use , and it looked specially modified .
No one would need that kind of laptop for regular work .
He walked over to Calvin .
Reese clutched Calvins pant leg tightly , accidentally pinching his flesh , making Calvin wince in pain .
Reese , youre killing me .
Sorry , grabbed the wrong spot , Reese quickly let go .
Calvins eyes widened .
Grabbed the wrong spot ? Where else did she want to grab ? Just then , Justin approached and politely addressed Calvin , Sir , excuse me , I have a document that needs to be sent out urgently , but I didnt bring my laptop .
Could I borrow yours ? Reese , squatting under the table , thought to herself , Malcolm really trained him well .
Even if hes here to test , he wouldnt say it outright .
Such a polite and friendly request if Calvin refused , it would only confirm that hes suspicious .
She wondered if that fool had closed all the relevant programs .
If Justin found even a trace , it would be hard to explain .
Calvin , smiling cheerfully , moved the laptop aside .
Chapter 30 Almost Husted so it might be a bit slow .
No problem , go ahead .
I was just playing a game , so it mig Thanks , buddy .
You wanna a coffee ? lustins politeness was impeccable .
If he wanted to ask Calvin anything later , Calvin would be more likely to answer .
Calvin declined , No need , 1 havent even finished this cup , Just go ahead .
