“The number you’re trying to reach is currently on another call. Please try again later…”
Victor tried twice, only to hear the same automated message.
“Who could he be
on the phone with for this lon?”
Dylan never spent more than a minute on any call, no matter who it was. If he was on this one for several minutes, it had to be important. Victor decided to give it some time, figuring Dylan would call him back.
But even after he got home, there was no word from Dylan. When he called again, he the same response.
That was when it dawned on him–Suzy was probably behind this.
“Think blocking his phone will stop me?” he muttered, heading downstairs.
Just then, his phone chimed with a message from Suzy,
got
“After all these years of Nadia doing everything for you, isn’t it time you made a move? Three days from now is an auspicious date–how about I organize a wedding for the two of you?”
Victor clenched his teeth and immediately called her on messenger, half–expecting her to ignore it.
But she picked up instantly.
“Seriously, Suzy? Using the same trick every time? Can’t you be a bit more creative?”
Suzy’s voice on the other end was calm and amused. “A good tactic doesn’t need to be changed if it works.”
“You-
If there was anything in the world Victor truly dreaded, it was the idea of marrying Nadia. He wasn’t afraid of much, but that? The thought of being bound to Nadia for life made him shudder.
She was practically a robot–dedicated to her work, with not a hint of feminine softness. Even if she were the last woman on earth, he’d rather stay single than tie the knot with her.
“So, have you given it any thought?” Suzy’s voice prodded.
Suzy’s voice snapped Victor out of his drifting thoughts. He chuckled softly: “The TI know fears nothing, yet suddenly, she’s tiptoeing around Dylan?”
Before Suzy could respond, Victor added, “If he ever found out that you deliberately got close to him from the start… how do you think he’d react?”

Victor thought he had her cornered, feeling quite pleased with himself–until she abruptly
ended the call.
Almost immediately, a message came through. It was an Image with a caption.
“What do you think of this invitation template? If you’re indecisive, I’ll send it straight to Miss Nadia for feedback.”
Victor scrambled to call her back, and this time, she took her time before answering. He
grumbled, “You win this round.”
Suzy laughed softly on the other end. “Sure.”
Sensing she was about to hang up, Victor quickly interjected, “Dylan wants the identity of Diana’s attacker within 24 hours. Get moving and let me know as soon as you find. anything.”
After all, Dylan had originally assigned her to investigate, and now, given her dual roles as Tand Diana’s former sister–in–law, she was the obvious person for the job.
Suzy didn’t give him a reply; she simply ended the call.
Staring at the blank screen, Victor–reconsidered telling Dylan the truth. If he couldn’t do it openly, he’d find another way–after all, in this world, no secret stayed hidden forever.
But he would need a careful plan to pull it off.
After finishing her call with Victor, Suzy returned to her laptop.
Her fingers flew across the keyboard, yet she couldn’t help but notice how sophisticated the counter–hacking was. It was as though the hacker was a step ahead–someone whose skill even surpassed hers.
In this world, only one person was capable of that: her mentor, Hawk. He was a complete mystery–throughout all her years in the organization, she had never once seen him in
person.
