?Chapter 329:


    While Wesley was still racking his brain, Elliana had already walked into his office.


    Wesley hesitated and then followed her in.


    She sat on the sofa and gestured casually. “Have a seat.”


    He shut the door, poured her some drink, and sat across from her. “So, what would you like to discuss?”


    “Wesley, are you married?” Elliana asked out of the blue.


    He blinked, thrown off. “I… No.”


    “Do you have a girlfriend?” Elliana probed.


    Still baffled, he shook his head. “No, not yet.”


    Elliana grinned and quietly opened a small porcin vial in her hand. “Then how about I set you up with someone nice?”


    Before Wesley could even answer, a wave of dizziness crashed over him. Two secondster, he slumped back on the couchpletely unconscious.


    Elliana had knocked Myles out before with a quick sleep dart. They were close, so there was no need for much talk. But today was different. She was meeting Wesley for the first time. Knocking him out right away might raise suspicions. Yet, she had no other options since time was not on her side. Lunch break was ticking, and Cole could wake up any second.


    Once Wesley was out cold, Elliana slipped her vial away, pulled out her phone, and started hacking into the Evans Groupwork. As she expected, Jody—the system’s watchdog—was nowhere to be seen.


    Elliana nced at Wesley, passed out on the couch. Her heart did a little happy flip. It seemed her hunch had been right. Wesley was Jody. With him knocked out, no one would catch her sneaking into the Evans Group’s system.


    Just as she was about to reach thepany’s core database, Jody popped up out of nowhere.


    Elliana froze. Her fingers hovered over the screen. She quickly looked at Wesley. Still fast asleep. Deeply out. s! Another wrong guy she had knocked out. She sighed in frustration.


    Mor shapters on ?????????ν. ?o??


    Just then, Jody pinged her. “Hey, afternoon vibes.”


    Already annoyed, Elliana snapped back. “Vibes, my ass.”


    “Ha, chill.”


    Typing fast under her alias, Quinn, she replied, “Are you stalking me or what? Every damn time I log in, you’re already here. Don’t you eat, pee, or sleep?”


    Jody shot back, “You’re sounding a bit pissed off.”


    “You bet I am! You drive me nuts!”


    Jody replied, “Says the one who always logs in when I’m napping. I swear, the second I doze off, you show up. You got a radar for my sleep or something? You hit it dead-on every time!”


    Elliana smirked. “Please. As if I care about you, you self-obsessed jerk!” And just like that, she logged out of the Evans Group system. She nced at Wesley onest time, still knocked out, and then slipped out of the cybersecurity department.


    In the elevator, Elliana started wondering—could Lance be Jody? It seemed quite possible. Even though she had mocked Lance during their earlier argument, deep down, she knew he was a top-tier IT guy. She was heading to the AI Research and Development department next.
