In the evening, returning to the Forest Hill
Dominic stood in the room, looking at the bright lights, pondering for a moment, then returned to the computer and used hacker software to send a message to Cobra.
[Cobra, did anything worth sharing happen today?]
[There is, but... why should I share it with you.]
Cobra replied quickly from the other end, obviously also using a computer.
Dominic smiled and quickly replied to the message:
[Because I'm not happy, I need your good mood to cheer me up.]
[Why are you unhappy? Actually, I don't have much, it's just that my brother is getting married, and I'm happy for them.]
Dominic read the words on the computer screen, feeling almost ecstatic. But with his calm demeanor, his happiness was just a slight upturn of his mouth.
Dominic analyzed while feeling happy.
His hunch was indeed correct, Alessia was Cobra, and Cobra was Alessia.
Alessia's hacking skills were so similar to those of IronRose, and she had lost her memory. Could Alessia be IronRose? She might have broken the appointment because she encountered danger and something bad happened at the time.
She didn't even log into the forum later, and then completely lost her memory, which allowed Tiffany to take her place.
Once this idea took root, it grew out of control.
The more he thought about his connection with Alessia, the more he felt palpitations that had intertwined since their youth.
The more he thought about it, the more urgently he wanted to confirm something.
His mouth was dry, and he couldn't wait any longer to send a message to Cobra.
[I want to see you!]
Alessia leaned against the head of the bed, flipping through a book in her hand, and heard the message alert, just glanced at the computer.
When she saw the few words sent by Eagle, she sneered indifferently.
Does he know where she is? Wants to meet her?
Alessia scoffed inwardly, tapping on the keyboard with one hand, and sent a message back.
[Okay, as long as you can find my location, I'll meet with you.]
The message was sent, and Alessia's fingers tapped on the book. Waiting for Eagle's response.
She admired Eagle's hacking skills, so she looked forward to another showdown with him. The main opponent was hard to find, and she was itching for a fight!
But after waiting for a long time, there was no reply from Eagle.
The message seemed to sink without a trace, as if Eagle had suddenly disappeared.
Alessia didn't know why, but she suddenly felt a little lost.
Realizing that her thoughts had been completely taken away by this computer, she simply pushed the computer aside, out of sight, out of mind.
Alessia turned her attention to reading.
Though her intention was good, she had barely read two pages of the book when she heard footsteps coming from the stairs outside the door, and before she could react, she saw the door handle being turned from the outside, and the next moment, the door to the room was pushed open by someone.
Alessia thought of herself wearing a nightgown, even covering her long legs with a blanket, feeling cold, she looked at Dominic with displeasure.
"You're coming into my room without knocking, Mr. Carter, where's your gentlemanly demeanor?"
Dominic's eyes were all on Alessia, he stepped forward, his voice as low as a violin, "Sia, I've told you, I want to meet you."
Alessia felt puzzled, "When did you say you wanted to see me?"
"Just now, I sent you a message." Dominic said confidently.
"Just now?"
Alessia thought carefully, and suddenly froze, her pupils dilated, unable to believe it.
"You're Eagle?"
Hearing her own ID number from Alessia's mouth was indescribable.
It was like her exclusive secret had been discovered by Alessia, and exchanged, and their feelings had progressed further.
Dominic's lips curled with satisfaction, "Yes, Cobra, I'm Eagle."
Hearing Dominic's answer, Alessia was briefly stunned, but quickly accepted the fact.
Through Tiffany, she had long known that Dominic was a hacker expert. With Dominic's character and means, if he liked something, he would surely want to do it to the extreme.
In this regard, he was quite similar to her.
Moreover, if Dominic wasn't Eagle, how could Tiffany have asked for his help to find her before she participated in the hacker rematch?
"Oh, Eagle, what do you want to see me about?" Alessia asked.
Seeing Alessia quickly returning to normal and still wearing a cold face, Dominic smiled.
Alessia seemed unfazed no matter which identity was revealed.
Dominic stood by the bed, looking down at Alessia from above, "I have something to discuss with you."
"Speak." Alessia closed the book.
"When you came into contact with the hacker industry again abroad, did you feel familiar, as if you had already been in contact with hackers before?"
"How did you know?" Alessia didn't deny it.
Dominic was excited. He sat on the bed and hugged Alessia, whispering in her ear.
"This is great, Sia, you're IronRose. You're also the first woman who dared to stand me up."
Alessia understood Dominic's analysis and felt helpless. She pushed him away.
"How can you be so sure? After all, I've lost my memory, and besides, isn't IronRose Tiffany Olsen?" She didn't want to offend anyone.
Dominic let go of Alessia and grabbed her shoulders. Seriously, he said to Alessia, "Tiffany is not IronRose. Your hacking skills are exactly the same as IronRose's. I noticed it the first time we competed. I won't be mistaken again."
Seeing Dominic's serious expression, Alessia shrugged in compromise.
IronRose was just a name to her, and since Dominic was so persistent, she let him believe what he wanted.
Dominic seemed to see through Alessia's thoughts. He emphasized,
"Sia, IronRose is special to me. IronRose is you. You don't know how happy I am, it's like dreaming. Sia, let's go to Niagara Escarpment again, to fulfill the appointment we didn't finish."
Hearing Dominic deliberately or unintentionally bring up the matter of confirming their relationship, Alessia gave Dominic a stern look.
Even with the glare, Dominic was happy at this moment. He let go of Alessia, stood up, and announced as if it were an important matter.
"Sia, don't worry. I won't force you to go to Niagara Escarpment for the appointment until you recover your memory. When I talk about the appointment, it will definitely be after you recover your memory."
Recover memory?
Alessia felt helpless. She didn't know when this day would come.
