My Evil Genius Wife

Chapter 298 - Hide And Seek (III)



  Barista Cafe`

Hu Jun stood in the middle of the cafe` and looked around to search for the person he came to meet. He was still shaken about the events of the last night and couldn't believe that someone not only managed to hack his system but also lured him to agree to work for him. 

Is he going to work with him? What if that man is some fraud or wants to use him to do some shady stuff? 

He pursed his lips and looked around anxiously. Should I just leave? He wondered. 

Even though he came to the cafe, he doesn't know anything about the person. His name, how he looks, or what kind of clothes he is going to wear today. He knows nothing. How will he recognize him now? 

" It's 11 sharp. I will wait for 5 minutes more and will leave. Yeah, that sounds like a good plan." He thought and stood in the middle while looking around at everyone sitting in the cafe and tapped his foot on the floor anxiously. 

He was wearing a denim blue shirt and black trousers and was dressed tastefully unlike his usual black t-shirt and his favorite superman red boxers that he wears at home. He wanted his first impression to be smart and intellectual, and not dull and weak.

He has fine looks and if he dresses well, he can easily intimidate the other person. He cannot be defeated in terms of looks, not at all. Today, he wasn't even wearing his round-shaped glasses, instead, he was using brown contact lenses to go with his outfit. 

Although they were uncomfortable, anything for fashion. 

He looked at the time on his watch again and smiled to see that 5 minutes were already up. " Since he didn't show up yet, I can leave without feeling guilty. It's his fault for not showing up on time," he murmured before turning around to leave. 

However, just as he was about to leave, a waiter called him out from behind and tapped on his shoulder gently, " Sir, your table is over there, behind the pillar." He pointed towards a table in the far back that was covered behind a large pillar. 

Not only that, but he also handed him a tissue on which it was written in capital letters, " HOLA!! YOU LOOK QUITE DASHING IN BLUE, HUH!"

He frowned and gritted his teeth upon reading the chit. Pervert. 

He looked towards the table to which the waiter was pointing at and squinted his eyes to look at the person. Someone was sitting at the table since a glass of cold coffee could be seen but the person was hidden behind the pillar and couldn't be seen.

He wanted to leave without meeting that person. But... Argh...so annoying.

Xu Nuan was sitting at the table, waiting for Hu Jun to arrive. She was wearing a lavender, cold shoulder dress. The dress was cute and was stopping before her knees. 

The black and lavender floral prints on the dress were contrasting with her fiery personality, making her look gentle and innocent. Her chestnut brown hair was loose on her shoulders in soft curls and was complimenting her overall pretty girl look. 

She was sitting with her legs crossed, with one leg over the other, and was patiently waiting for Hu Jun, who was preparing to leave only after 5 minutes of his arrival. However, she didn't come here to let him leave like this. 

_

Hu Jun walked to the table that the waiter pointed to a while ago and shouted, " Are you a pervert? Were you watching me from-

He pursed his lips and swallowed his words to see a beautiful woman sitting at the table instead of the man. His cheeks turned red to see how beautiful and tender the girl looked in the lavender-colored dress. 

It was his favorite color and she looked like an ethereal goddess in it. He nodded in embarrassment and apologized, " Ah, I am sorry. I was looking for someone else." 

Xu Nuan raised her brows to see him changing his tone suddenly and smirked. Well...she is too pretty to be this intimidating, isn't it?

He scratched the back of his nape in embarrassment and looked away to look for the man.  He frowned to see that there was no one other than a girl, " What the hell? Where did he go?" He gritted his teeth. 

He not only made fun of him but also made him embarrass himself in front of a pretty girl. 

He was looking around and was wondering if the man was still in the cafe or not when the woman spoke to him. Since she was speaking in a low voice, and the music was also loud in the cafe, he couldn't hear her properly. 

He turned to her and moved close to her, " You're saying something to me?" He was confused and surprised at the same time. 

It was the first time in his life that a beautiful girl like her was talking to him. He was smiling shyly at her and could feel his ears turning red. 

'Is she interested in me? Should I give her my number? Or buy her a coffee or something?' he wondered.

Xu Nuan raised her brows to see him leaning close and smiling at her shyly. She smiled back at him and whispered in his ears softly, " What would you like to drink….Number 4?"

Hu Jun was smiling to hear the first part of the sentence but when he heard the last part, his mouth was left parted in shock. His pupils wavered as he was speechless, and didn't know how to react to this news. 

Did she call him by his pseudonym? How does she….

He looked at her cautiously and gulped to see her smirking at him. She was looking like an innocent, gentle girl in this dress but her smirk was reminding him about the conservation of his with Moon last night. 

Is she really….Moon?

" Should I introduce myself again? My name is Xu Nuan, you can call me...Moon." she smiled at him and extended her hand for a handshake with him. 

He was speechless but shook hands with her in a daze. What in the world…

_

Hu Jun was staring at Xu Nuan in a daze, who was sitting opposite him. He still couldn't believe that the person who hacked his system and was threatening him last night was not a young brat but a….beautiful girl? 

Xu Nuan sipped on her cold coffee and smirked seeing his shocked expressions. He was staring at her like this for a while now and wasn't saying anything.

She cleared her throat, " Should we get on with the business now? Here's the contract. If you're done staring, then sign on it." she said straightly while pulling out the contract that she had prepared in advance and placed it on the table in front of him. 

Seeing the contract, he almost choked on his drink. 

Now when she was talking like this, it reminded him of the chat that they had last night. She is scarily straightforward. 

" You...are you seriously...Moon? That Moon?" He asks her hesitantly. 

" Are you still doubtful of me? Do you want me to send the details to the police, will you believe me then?" 

He gasps upon hearing her cruel words directly. It sounds even more scary and ruthless when she says it like this and not on the chat. 

He takes a deep breath and picks up the contract to read it. " The eagle eye cyber security company? What kind of strange name is it?" He commented upon reading the name of the company on it. 

" It's still better than your ominous name." She stated indifferently. 

Hu Jun shakes his head and raises his brows upon reading the details. Rather than a fixed payment, he was offered 15 percent of the profits. Not only that, the contract was for a trial period of a year which said that if he indulges in any illegal activity without her knowing, he will pay her 10 folds in a fine of what he has been paid already. 

He frowns. " First of all, it's a cyber security company. I have never done this kind of work before. I don't think I am fit for it."

" Moreover, what do you mean 15% of the profits instead of the fixed incentives? It's obvious that it's a new company, do you think you will make enough to pay me well? I don't think the 15% will even give me anything."

He can make more than that by doing hacking and gaming. This shit is cheap as hell. 

Xu Nuan chuckled and put her empty coffee glass on the table before looking at him, " First of all, I am hiring you because I need your skills. Even if you haven't done this work before, I know a way to make you do it."

" Secondly, thanks to your attack on Gu Enterprises and me saving the damsel in distress, the company is gaining quite a lot of attention and there are numerous companies that are lining up to work with me. That's why I need someone skilled who can handle these projects well for me. I am quite a busy person, you know." 

He frowned upon hearing her explanation. " So...you're saying that you blocked my advances at Gu Enterprises? Are you sure you didn't hire anyone to do it?" He asked suspiciously. 

Xu Nuan chuckled, seeing him still doubtful of her. " You know that you don't have a choice, right? Either sign it or go to jail, the choice is still yours. What will you choose?"

" Leave your shady past behind and work for me, or...go to jail to repent for your crimes. What would you like to do? Huh?"

Hu Jun gulped upon seeing her indifferent expressions and picked up the pen that she had passed him earlier and hurriedly signed his name on it. 

Who cares if she is incompetent or is paying him less than he deserves? What matters is...he can't let anyone reveal his secret. 

He was crying inwardly, wondering what mess he got himself into. Attacking Gu enterprises was the worst decision of his life.
