Rejected No More: I Am Way Out Of Your League, Darling!

Chapter 603:

“What’s the reason for being so late today?”

Daniela smiled smoothly.

“Just got caught up with some work at the company.”

Cedric nodded, his eyes scanning Daniela’s shoes, noting they were different from the ones she had on earlier in the morning.

“Did you change your shoes?”

“Yeah, they got dirty, so I switched them out and threw the old ones away.”

Though Daniela wasn’t someone known for extravagance, she did take cleanliness seriously. The fact that she had discarded her shoes implied someone had touched them.

“So, what happened?” Cedric asked.

Daniela simply smiled and waved it off.

“Oh, nothing major. I just spilled some coffee on them at the office.”

He gave a nonchalant nod, accepting her explanation.

“Alright, then.”

Cedric wasted no time in seeking out his hacker friend.

Data lines looped endlessly on the computer screen, but Daniela’s information was still scarce.

“I can’t quite crack it,” Killian Reynolds muttered through a mouthful of sandwich, clearly irked.

“Cedric, when did you find this girlfriend? She’s incredible.”noveldrama

Cedric sighed.

“Are you sure this profile is fake?”

Killian nodded confidently.

“It’s fake. A casual user wouldn’t notice anything, but for hackers like me, the layers of security scream custom protective programming.”

Cedric squinted thoughtfully.

“Aren’t you supposed to be the best hacker in the country? Giving up already?”

Killian chuckled.

“I’m the best in the country, sure, but what can I do when the other side is the best in the world? Cedric, are you certain Ryan’s the one who built these hidden codes?”

“No one else around Daniela is close to her level of computer skills,” Cedric replied firmly.

Killian took another bite of his sandwich, shaking his head.

“Then it’s not him.”

“Why not?” Cedric asked.

“Ryan’s good, no doubt, but I know his style. His codes are complex but not impossible to crack. This one, though, is deceptive. It looks simple on the surface, but it’s so hard to figure out and decode.”

Cedric arched a brow.

“Maybe Ryan’s leveled up while you’ve been slacking off. He is one of the top experts in the world, after all.”

Killian scratched his head, a sheepish grin forming.

“Really? So much progress in such a short time? Let me give it another shot.”

Determined not to concede defeat, Killian’s fingers danced across the keyboard with relentless precision.
