Astreille knew her capability as a hacker and how her strength in that field can ruin someone else's life. For years, aside from writing stories, she also managed to survive by reading some stories a mysterious writer wrote. Astreille doesn't know anything about that man but it's strange that she still loves him without knowing who he is exactly. Until one incident changed everything, and she found herself standing in front the man she only loved secretly, and he's not standing in front her as a man she idolized, but as her boss
Chapter 1 1
Astreille massaged her nape when she felt how tired her body was. She's been sitting and facing her laptop for hours now.
Her agency assigned her a new project once again. This time, her opponent's software will be harder to defeat so she had to endure hours.
She quickly stood up from her seat and went out of her room. She needs to unwind for a minute, she can't stand sitting in front of that laptop again while hacking that software. Its security was too tight, so she knows that her enemy, the security team, is very skilled.
Astreille went to her kitchen and made herself a glass of milk. Milk is a big help for her, she can't sleep properly without drinking milk. She also can't focus on work..
Her mother used to do this for her, but now that she's gone, she needs to do these alone.
"How nice," she whispered while pouring hot water in her milk.
Until now, she still can't forget her mother's death. Except for the responsibilities she was forced to carry, her mother also left unpaid debts in which she ended up responsible.
That's why she's working in that agency, she needs money in order to pay her mother's debts. She's tired from the insults she received from her work mates, but I need to earn money.
She wiped the tears that fell on my cheeks while blending the milk. She's really a cry baby, she cries even in the smallest things. She's like a child.
No wonder why her co-agents insult her. She can't deny that she's weak because she really is. She was trained to fight, but she's too scared to hurt a human being. Her soft heart will surely kill her.
She panicked when the alarm in her room rang. She quickly ran upstairs to stop it. She saw a red warning on her screen so she quickly sat in front of her laptop and swiftly typed numbers on the keyboard.
It took only a few seconds to block that alarm. The other system is trying to return the favor by hacking her.
She smiled sweetly because she immediately blocked it. This is the only thing she's proud of, she's good at computers because she's an expert in this field. She learned hacking dangerous websites when she was 7 years old because of her IQ.
Until now, she's still carrying that intelligence, the problem is that she only excels in this particular field. Not on the others.
Her eyes went to the bottom part of the screen when a message from the agency popped up. She opened it immediately.
"Give me this man's data, as soon as possible."
She saved the picture before typing different numbers on her keyboard. After a while, she saw some websites with the man's picture, so she quickly clicked one of the links.
It's a private website, but that's easy for her.
She copied the website's link before scanning it. When she was done with that, the password popped up on her screen.
She logged in using that password. The man's name and instantly welcomed her. She put on her anti-radiation glass while reading information about him.
A hitman?
Because it's risky to take a screenshot from her laptop, she used her cell phone to take a picture of the monitor.
She sent it to her agency within a minute.
"A hitman. Another project?" she slowly whispered before biting her bottom lip.
She felt alive again when she saw that alo the data of the system she broke in were currently downloading. They failed to track her location, they tried to hack her so the walls through their software opened. She successfully went in while blocking the red warning.
She smiled sweetly while looking at her screen.
"SUCCESSFULLY DOWNLOADED."
When she saw that pop up, she took down the software immediately and quickly removed all the traces she made.
She can be tracked by her enemy again, so she needed to destroy the laptop and throw it on a river far from her house after she got the USB.
When she was done, she quickly drove her car back to her house.
Now she can finally rest, her work is finally done. She studied those codes for hours just to break in, but because of her enemy's negligence, she easily got in.
She removed her jacket before sitting in front of the laptop which she personally owned.
She has a lot of laptops in her house that were sponsored by her agency, she needs to have a whole lot of them to maintain her clean work.
She sent the files to her agency, she waited only for a few minutes before her boss replied.
Good job, as expected, you pulled this project faster than I expected. You can rest now.
It's like the best thing she read that day. You can rest now.
"A very powerful word," she whispered before chuckling.
She slumped herself down to her soft bed and took the rest she was deprived of.
"That's a very tiring job, I wonder if he has an update?" she talked to herself.
She reached for her phone on the side table and opened the writing app that she likes to be busy with whenever she's vacant. She almost jumped in happiness when she saw a notification, her favorite writer just posted a poem!
She immediately read the poem. She knew it's a masterpiece because it's her favorite writer who wrote it.
She was smiling the whole time while reading the masterpiece.
It's all about a guy who's really into this particular girl. Based on the words the writer used, it seemed like he was the guy himself in that poem.
"She's like a flower in the garden. Fragile, sweet and innocent."
She wonders if this writer has someone in his heart already? It made her sad to think about it. She's admiring this guy from the very start. But if he already loves someone else, she'd be happy for him.
