Alpha Kilian glanced around when he stepped through the door, but he didn't see Nelly anywhere. Alpha Kilian glanced around when he stepped through the door, but he didn't see Nelly anywhere.
He tried giving her a call, but there was no answer. Right as Alpha Kilian was about to go looking for her, he noticed a group of people in the distance.
As he made his way over, Alpha Kilian noticed that Nelly was sitting in the middle of the crowd and typing away on her laptop.
The people standing behind her all looked dumbfounded as they watched her work on the computer. Mike had a cup of coffee in his hand as he stood among them.
“I-Is this going to work? Are you really able to recover the files, Nelly ?” asked one of the people standing behind her.
“Yeah,” Nelly replied without even looking up from the screen.
Her slender fingers were moving so quickly over the keyboard that they couldn't even see what she was typing. The display on the computer screen changed a few times before returning to normal.
Everyone's eyes lit up with shock and disbelief when they saw that. “I-Is that it?”
“Check the files and see if any of them are still missing,” Nelly replied while handing him the laptop.
“They are all here! All the files have been recovered! You sure are amazing, Nelly !” the guy exclaimed happily after running a quick check.
Nelly had yet to say anything when Mike exclaimed, “Of course she is! Have you forgotten what she's capable of?”
He then handed her the coffee and continued, “Here you go, Nelly .”
“Thanks.” Nelly casually took a sip of the coffee before saying, “It's just ransomware, so it's not that big of a deal. I've upgraded your computer's security system, so you should be safe as long as you avoid clicking on suspicious links in the future.”
Everyone turned to look at him upon hearing that. “Oh? Suspicious links, eh? What have you been watching online, huh?”
“Yeah! Tell us!”
“N-Nothing!” said the guy with the laptop.
“Then how did your computer get infected with ransomware?” someone asked. “I don't know, but I haven't been watching anything weird!” the guy explained. “Expose him, Nelly !” someone shouted.
Nelly let out a chuckle as she said, “I was referring to advertisements.” Huh? What? Advertisements? Is that all?
The guy with the laptop exclaimed, “See? What did I say? I haven't been watching anything suspicious!”
Still feeling dissatisfied, someone said, “You don't have to cover up for him, Nelly ! Go ahead and tell us the truth!”
“Oh, I was telling the truth,” Nelly replied.
Everyone in the crowd exchanged doubtful glances with each other.
“As I said, I wasn't watching anything strange!” The guy with the laptop was rather young, so he blushed rather easily.
“Oh, please! Nelly was clearly lying to save you from embarrassment! You should be grateful and just keep your mouth shut!” Mike said.
He then turned toward Nelly and continued, “How do you know this stuff, Nelly ? Could it be that you—”
Alpha Kilian cut him off, “What are you all doing standing around my woman?”
Upon turning around and realizing that it was Alpha Kilian , everyone quickly stepped aside and addressed him respectfully, “Greetings, Boss!”
With a steady stride, Alpha Kilian exuded an authoritative aura as he walked straight toward Nelly , who looked rather dazzling as she stood among the crowd.
If anything, she kind of resembled a superstar being surrounded by her fans.
Nelly looked up at Alpha Kilian when he stopped in front of her. “Are you two done talking?”
“Yeah,” Alpha Kilian replied with a nod. He then glanced at her and the people around her as he asked, “What are you doing?”
Nelly was about to say something when Mike cut her off, “Someone infected this new guy's computer with some kind of virus and tried to blackmail him. A few of our tech guys tried to unlock it for him but to no avail. That was when Nelly came to the rescue and got it all taken care of!”
He then turned to look at Nelly as he continued, “What were you doing before this, Nelly ? Were you a hacker or something?”
“I...”
“She was a programmer,” Alpha Kilian replied on her behalf.
“Huh? How can a programmer be that good?” Mike exclaimed in disbelief.
Realizing what Alpha Kilian was trying to do, Nelly said with a smile, “I helped the police crack similar viruses while I was attending a training course overseas. That's why I have some experience with this kind of stuff.”
Huh? What? Advertisements? Is that all?
The guy with the laptop exclaimed, “See? What did I say? I haven't been watching anything suspicious!” Mike nodded. “Oh, I see!”
Mike nodded. “Oh, I see!”
