Chapter 45


    Lena sauntered over with a friendly smile and took a seat next to Hattie, casting a concerned nce


    at Josefina. "Josie, you alright? I''m a doctor, so feel free to let me know if there''s any difort."


    "Thanks, I''m feeling quite alright now," Josefina responded with a gentle smile, even as her phone


    kept buzzing incessantly, vibrating with a persistence that demanded attention. She promptly


    dismissed the call and shot off a quick text.


    "I''m feeling a bit worn out, need to catch some Z''s. I''m gonna head up," Josefina finally dered.


    Hattie stood up, taking charge of Josefina''s wheelchair. "Let me wheel you up."


    Josefina, however, decided to address Oliver directly, "Oliver, see you around."


    Oliver''s grin was broad, "Till next time."


    As Oliver watched Josefina disappear into the elevator, he bid farewell to Garrett without sparing


    Lena a nce.


    Throughout the drive, Oliver was enveloped by a chilling silence that seemed to forbid any warmth.


    He whipped out his phone, his voice cold as ice, "What''s the progress?"


    Asher''s reply was tinged with anxiety, "We''ve hit a dead end."


    Oliver''s frown wasced with displeasure, "Keep digging."


    "Will do."


    With the call ended, Oliver''s icy stare was enough to freeze the air, making the driver too afraid to


    even breathe.


    ...


    Once back in her room, Josefina bolted the door and returned Luke''s call.


    "Boss, Oliver''s on the case too, but he''s hit the same wall we have. We''ve got squat," Luke


    confessed, burdened by guilt.


    "It''s okay, they haven''t seeded, so they''ll definitely n another hit. You guys just focus on your


    stuff," Josefina consoled him.


    Luke''s guilt only deepened with Josefina''s reassurance. He felt useless, unable to expose the


    mastermind despite the second chance at life she had given him.


    Recalling something critical, Luke added, "We''ve got a new order at the techpany. It''s from


    Oliver''s firm. They want you to set up a firewall for them."


    "Does Oliver''spany really need to outsource this? Don''t they have their own IT department?"


    Josefina was utterly baffled.


    Luke exined, "Their firewall''s been breached. Some hacker''s after their top-secret data. Last


    night, Oliver''s IT team pulled an all-nighter in a battle of wits with the hacker, narrowly clinching a


    win."


    Josefina''s cybersecurity firm was renowned for its robust firewalls. Considering Oliver had once


    saved her life, she felt inclined to help, but business was business.


    "Tell them I''ll be there Saturday, 3 PM sharp. I don''t work with an audience. Their IT staff needs to


    clear out."


    "You got it. Your terms will be ryed," Luke assured her.


    After hanging up, Josefina stood up and wandered for a bit. The wheelchair beside her was starting


    to feel like a nuisance. She settled down at herputer to sort out some business, theny down


    for a brief rest.


    ...


    Oliver was in his office, staring at hisputer screen, which was ying a clip of Josefina doling


    out a beatdown—graceful yet fierce.


    George was agape, watching the fluid martial arts disy, quick, precise, and brutal. Josefina''s foot


    connected with a man''s most vulnerable spot, causing George to reflexively protect his own penis.


    One look from Oliver and George awkwardly scratched his head. "Sir, I get the heebie-jeebies just


    watching it. Ms. Josefina is so capable, why is she hiding talents?"


    Oliver shot him a warning look. "Don''t ask questions you shouldn''t."


    George nodded vigorously, "You''re absolutely right, sir. I''ll mind my own business."


    Pleased with his quickpliance, Oliver finally nodded. "Now tell me, how did these guys end up


    with ck eyes and swollen faces?"Text content ? N?velDrama.Org.
