NovelEnglishChapter 171
Apart from Kieran and Nicholas, the office was bustling with people.
At this moment, Nicholas raised his head and looked at Timothy. “Come over here and take a look for
yourself.”
After giving a slight nod of his head, Timothy walked over to the computer.
Next to him was a technician clicking on the screen. “There’s a problem here-it looks like something
invisible is blocking the video. I’ve tried several methods, but haven’t been able to bypass it no matter
how I try to start the program. Is there a bug?”
“Let me see.” With that, Timothy’s fingers began to fly so rapidly across the keyboard that the only
evidence of what he was doing was the sound of the keyboard clacking.
Not long later, he pressed the Enter key and stopped moving.
The light that indicated the software was working lit up and the originally frozen video began to play as
well. Following that, ethereal music began to play in the background.

It was after Timothy inclined his head once more that he explained, “It’s not a bug. It’s a hidden
protection software that I previously installed. As I was afraid that our information would be stolen,
installed the software and was prepared to unveil it on the eve of the listing, but kept forgetting to
inform you guys about it. I apologize for the trouble.”
Hearing that, Nicholas lifted his head and deeply looked at Timothy.
On the other hand, Kieran threw his arm around Timothy’s neck with a smile. “Who knew that you had
such hidden depths, you little scoundrel? You’re more capable than I thought.”
In response, Timothy offered a somewhat embarrassed smile.
The only reason why he had installed this software was precisely because of the incident where his
computer had been snatched by Silas and Lauren. He was afraid of such a situation happening again.
The technician was so astonished that he commented, “How could we not have discovered it before?”
“I set it in such a way that it wouldn’t lock unless the program was shut down,” Timothy explained.
“Since you had kept the program running before, you wouldn’t have been locked out. Today must have
been the first time you exited the program. I’ll teach you how to unlock it now.”
Since all the employees present were elites of the IT industry, the only reason why they had been
bamboozled was because they hadn’t known of the hidden protection software. Now that they were
aware of it, they were quick to learn the method to unlock it.
They understood the basics in a short while.
Then, another technician asked, “Are there other programs apart from this which are locked in a similar
way?”
“Yes, I installed them on five programs in total. Each one has a different method of unlocking, which are
these…” Timothy moved the mouse once again to point out the remaining four areas.
Then, the technicians quickly memorized the methods to unlock the respective softwares. “Not bad;
you’re very capable. We weren’t able to discover this software even after working on it for ages.”
An apologetic Timothy smile. “It’s my fault for not mentioning it earlier, though. Once again, I’m sorry.”
After pointing out a few key parts for the technicians to take note of, he looked at Nicholas. “If there’s
nothing else that you need, President Sawyer, I’ll be leaving now. Do call me if there are any other
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmquestions.”
Tilting his head, Nicholas questioned, “How’s your company doing?”
“We’ve found the physical space that we need and are beginning to hire people, but it’ll take a while
before we’re on the right track,” Timothy replied.
Nicholas nodded. “Let me know if there’s anything you need my help with.”
Although he was angry at Tessa’s departure, he was not one to distinguish between personal and
public affairs. Thus, he naturally wouldn’t vent his anger on Timothy, who was not involved in the
situation.
Moreover, he had admired Timothy’s way of resolving issues without dragging it out.
Furthermore, he was a firm believer in fostering talent and Timothy was an IT genius who deserved his
assistance.
After a moment of hesitation, Timothy said with some embarrassment, “There is a small matter that I
may need your help with.”
Looking up at him, Nicholas responded, “Tell me.”
“The Berlin Philharmonic is coming to Brentwood City to perform, but the tickets have been sold out.
Sawyer Group has more influence and connections than me, so I was wondering whether you’d be
able to help me secure a ticket. Of course, it’s okay if you aren’t.”
