The entire special department was stunned.
Damon, who was seated in front of the computer, even cried out with excitement, “Y! Oh my god, to
think I have the opportunity to talk to Y in this lifetime of mine!”
Someone echoed him.
“First, it was Q who invaded us today, now it’s Y.What kind of sheer dumb luck is the special
department having? My god, I feel like I can brag to everyone else in this line of work from now on!
This is a big boss we’re talking about here!”
The people next to them were stunned.
“But why is Y suddenly hacking into our system?”
“Yeah, and with such a big fanfare too.No one introduces themselves the moment they appear,
right? Besides, judging from his tone, he doesn’t have ill intentions.”
Someone glanced at Ruth and made a guess.
“Could it be that Y has specially come over to explain on behalf of Ruth? Is he afraid that we won’t
believe her? There is actually really no need for him to do that…”
“It’s also possible that Y is saying hi to us on account of Ruth, right? Also, judging from what he
said, Y seems very friendly…”
“Can I quietly say something? Y feels more approachable than Q.Q is too cold and
unapproachable-”
“What’s the point now? I’ve already heard everything you said.Besides, Ms.Smith is still here.What
if she overhears and tells Q?”
While everyone was speculating, Johnson laughed again and said, “Seems like Mr.Y is a very polite
man! I’ve also sent him an email before to invite him to join the special department, but he didn’t
pay me any attention.Come to think of it, Ruth gets more respect from him after allt”
“As expected, the relationship between Y and Ruth isn’t a simple one after all!”
“If all this is true, then I suddenly have a bold guess here, and that is —Y likes Ruth!”
Nora:”??”
What the f*ck? Was this something that could be tolerated? The corners of her lips spasmed and
she sneered, “That’s not necessarily true.”
“Even if it’s not necessarily true, it’s still Ruth who got Y here!”
Johnson said, “Therefore, no matter how you look at it, it’s all still Ruth’s credit!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe looked at Morris again.
“You must consider one’s personality when you recruit someone! Morris, this is not an era where an
individual should be trying to play the hero.Teamwork is what matters the most! An approachable
person like Ruth would definitely bring more pleasant surprises to the department!”
Johnson looked at Ruth and said, “Work hard, Ruth! You have a promising future!”
Ruth, who had been utterly stunned when Y appeared: She stared at the computer screen blankly,
feeling dumbfounded! Why was Y here? While she was still surprised, another few words appeared
on the screen: “Apologies, I don’t have a Messenger account, so I can only use this method to
clarify some things with everyone.”
No personal Messenger account…
When those four words appeared, Ruth felt as if a bomb had gone off in her mind! However, the rest
hadn’t realized it yet.
In particular, Damon was even typing a reply excitedly: “It’s okay.What do you want to clarify?”
The others were also quietly marveling.
“Advanced hackers approach people in such peculiar ways…”
“Yeah! I suddenly find his actions so cool!”
“What do you mean ‘so cool’? It’s more like ‘too cool’, okay?”
“It’s obvious at a glance that you guys are science and engineering majors.How uncultured! This is
called ‘the coolest ever’!”
While they were being silly, someone suddenly realized something.
He said, “Why wouldn’t he have a personal Messenger account, though? Isn’t he friends with Ruth
on Messenger?”
As soon as he said that, the entire IT department suddenly became dead silent.
In addition, almost as soon as he said that, another row of words appeared on the computer screen:
“Just to clarify, I don’t know any lady named Ruth.Of course, if the special department ever needs
my help, Ms.Nora only has to say the word and I will do my absolute best.”
The whole room fell dead silent again.
Surprised, everyone slowly turned to look at Ruth.
As if she had suddenly contracted some kind of contagious disease, the few people who had
gathered around her silently moved away at once.
Ruth clenched her fists tightly.
She stared ahead of her in shock.
Never would she have ever imagined that a master-level figure like Y would suddenly descend upon
their department, and even hack into the IT department with great fanfare just to clarify something
like that?! How could this be?! It was just like someone bragging outside that they knew a certain
celebrity.
Would the celebrity specially make a public social media post to clarify that they didn’t know them?
How would a nobody like Ruth possibly attract the attention of someone as talented as Y?! It must
be Nora! Y was the Hunt Corporation’s consultant.
In order to make herself look good again, Nora must have approached Mr.Hunt and asked him to
talk to Y, right? As Ruth figured this out, she suddenly felt like she had accidentally messed with the
wrong person! She clenched her fists tightly.
In the midst of her fury, Morris’ low and serious voice rang out.
“Ruth, please explain what on earth is going on.Do you or do you not know Y?”
Ruth couldn’t help but stammer.
She swallowed and suddenly said, “I , I…How are all of you so sure that this person is Y?”
Damon’s jaw tensed up and he slowly said, “By his abilities.Do you think that any old hacker can
hack into our IT department?”
Ruth:”!!”
She clenched her jaw.
Suddenly, she lowered her head, her demeanor so aggrieved that even her eyes turned red.She
said, “I’m sorry, everyone.I…I might have been deceived!”
She took out her cell phone, opened the chat window with Y, and said, “I chat with him a lot.When
he said he was Y, I believed him.I didn’t expect that I’ve actually been deceived!”
With her in tears, it would be hard for the others to continue blaming her.However, the corners of
Brenda’s lips spasmed and she clicked her tongue loudly.
She said, “The moment you joined the department, you claimed that you knew this person and that
person.So, you’ve found out that the Y you knew is a fake? In that case, might the Black Cat that
you claim to know also be a fake? Which other big boss do you also know?”
Ruth’s face flushed at once.
Seemingly unable to bear the pressure, she ran off in tears covering her face.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter she left, everyone in the special department started to whisper to one another.
“What’s going on?”
“Maybe she really was deceived?”
Johnson felt as if he had been slapped in the face.
He stared at the people in front of him and suddenly said, “Alright, stop speculating.What’s there to
say? Go and do your jobs!”
As soon as he said that, Morris said coldly, “Captain Johnson is right, go do your jobs right now! You
can’t get any work done just by flapping your lips! Do you think you’re special just because you
know certain people? Also, let Ruth serve as a warning example for all of you.Despite being a
member of the special department, she was deceived by a conman! What an embarrassment!”
His words were simply too mean! Nora almost laughed out loud.
Johnson flushed even redder.
He looked straight at Morris.
“You—”
But before he could finish, Morris interrupted him and said, “Johnson , the department should be
recruiting people who at least have a functioning brain! Also, their character takes priority!”
Morris left straight away after saying that.
Johnson felt as if his cheeks were stinging and burning hot from being slapped in the face.
He looked at the people around him again , waved, and said, “Alright, begone! What are all of you
looking at?”
Nora left the IT department with a smile on her lips.
As soon as she entered her office, her cell phone rang.She picked it up and took a look—it was
Justin.She raised her brows a little and pressed the answer button.
“Nora.”
The man sounded very aggrieved.
“Remember to give me the opportunity to explain the next time something happens!”
Nora looked straight ahead of her and leaned back on her chair
“…Alright”
Her perfunctory tone, however, made Justin very dissatisfied.He heaved a quiet sigh and said, “We
are lovers.If even lovers have to be so suspicious of each other, wouldn’t life be too tiring?”
Nora kept quiet for a moment.
She had never been in love, nor had she ever known how to interact with people.
