Aria's lips twitched hearing Monroe Grayson and glared at Alan.

Alan doubtfully asked Aria, "Sweetheart, If I have my way down there with you, how could it be called a one night stand?"

​​

'Brazen man'

Aria turned to Monroe, "Miss, will you suit President Morgan for one-night stand?"

Alan easily understood she was testing Monroe Grayson but he didn't care to see Monroe and served dinner.

Monroe blushed heavily looking at Alan which turned Aria's face dark.

If Monroe really could make it to his bed, she would make sure to marry him too.

How could she be satisfied with just a night with her love?

Monroe didn't respond directly, "Compared to bumpkins like you, I'm far better."

Aria wasn't dumb so she easily understood Alan's secretary was ready to get into her husband's pants. 

"Miss, Alan likes bumpkins like me so show yourself out..." Then her voice increased and sounded cold, "Guards."

Monroe was flustered, "President Morgan, I... I didn't..."

"We don't want any disturbance. Send...." 

Aria couldn't finish saying it and helplessly looked at Alan who fed her ignoring what she was ordering.

The guards still understood and dragged the stunned Monroe Grayson out. She couldn't believe what she just saw. Alan had pulled Aria closer to him and fed her with his spoon.

She knew the guards wouldn't allow her inside anymore hence she just stood outside at a corner thinking how could Alan like such girls.

She looked at herself thinking whether she should change her dressing style too...

Inside, Aria didn't touch the food and glared at Alan for a pretty long time as he fed her, controlling his smile from seeing jealous Aria.

Aria anyway couldn't continue because she knew Alan did nothing. She started talking. "How should I control the Focus network? How about I paralyze the overall network and keep them wandering in the network to trace us?"

Alan carefully fed her as he asked, "Do you want them to run around to find us or just sit in front of the system?"

Aria smiled with puffed cheeks due to mouthful. Aria would just attack but Alan gives them hope and destroys them slowly.

A slow painful death.

"They should run around everywhere to catch us when we have our good night's sleep." She joyously said. 

"Stop inviting me." Alan said, giving her a 'You seductress' look.

Aria: ○_○

'I didn't mean that. Did I?' 

Aria really doubted her vocabulary after hearing him and seeing him nonchalantly working on his laptop sending some message from his applications to his men.

Aria finished their dinner feeding him as she ate. Alan established a network for her to attack.

Alan's laptop was modified which had high-end specification which wasn't in Aria's laptop.

Using the high processing power and Aria's speed she was quicker than usual as she started controlling several computers in the network fluently. 

Alan who was supporting his hand watching his serious wife moved next to her making himself a backrest for her to support her sitting posture.

Aria smiled when a soft peck tenderly landed on her cheek when her fingers were swiftly moving on the keyboard creating a rhythm sound in the private room.

Aria had connected many small scale business centers computers in the network easily. 

The ones who were still working in offices started facing issues to use the computer. Their restart choice wasn't helpful either.

Many started calling the technicians to check on it without understanding what was going on. 

While all the neighboring places were facing problems over the network, the club which they were in was working rather well without any hitch.

Aria could say, many had quite good security but they were noob in front of her continuous practices over the years.

Suddenly Alan's laptop started beeping alerting her. Alan's face darkened hearing it.

She was very careful over the network and didn't leave a trace and she couldn't understand where it went wrong. She was about to check on it but Alan pulled her laptop out from her bag quickly.

"Morgan Industries network is being attacked."

Aria's speed on the keyboard swiftly recovered without delay understanding it was an alert message for Alan from the company.

"Freeze him. Unbound the new virus to his system. There is a new one."

Alan just hummed and got on with his work as he traced the one who was attacking the network.

If Aria was sharp and intelligent, Alan was accurate and ingenious. 

Aria never won against him virtually or on real-time networks. 

His slender fingers moved like lightning on the laptop keyboard without bothering about the laptop configuration which wasn't as high as his laptop.

Both were in sync as they worked to tackle each stage. Anybody could find their harmony in silence or their short words.

Two rhythmic sounds of the tapping fingers on the laptop were tuneful in the private room which continued without a break.

Both were busy in their work without bothering about the outside frenzy.

Alan's speed didn't decrease even though laptop configuration was basic but as he worked he soon found out Aria had updated her software which had a high end set of routines, protocols, and tools.

They were helping his instruction run faster and the processor wasn't lagging anywhere and matched his speed.

"Sweetheart, why haven't you updated the configuration and concentrated on the application program interface?"

Aria leisurely asked back without losing the attention, "Why do you think?"

Alan stole a quick glance at her, "Do you think I have time to think about it now while this hacker is tracing me back?"

Aria smiled. She knew it would be difficult to think of other things while battling in the network.

It was just like an online game, a few seconds of distraction can become the reason behind the loss.

Aria didn't respond as she knew he was smart to understand it.

She was amazed by the structure of the firewall of Focus International. She studied the security patch levels as she broke each one of them.

"Hubby, I think the firewall is built by a hacker. This isn't by developers and testers. His skills are pretty amazing and there are many traps. Normal testing and maintenance team couldn't find these loopholes to report it for developers."

Alan had a smile hearing her, "But my dummy wife is fantastic than that developer." because she didn't fall into their trap.

'Dummy and fantastic?' Aria had no words for her husband.

Alan was surprised looking at his laptop screen, "My foxy, deceitful wife, your low configuration laptop leads to the instigator falling into your trap. I like it."

'Foxy and deceitful? Is that a compliment or criticism?' She wanted to cry hearing it.

Soon enough, Aria skillfully broke the outer firewall of Focus Internationally sending the alerts to the Focus department purposefully depicting it as a blunder.

---

On the other end, the department quickly got into action and tried to stop the attacker and they informed Xoan West.

Xoan West was having dinner in a luxurious restaurant with his family when he answered the call.

"CEO West, we have been attacked. Our main firewall is completely broken."

The evilly handsome man's face turned darker. "Update it to Xin and stop the attacker before he could cross all security levels."

"Roger that." 

Xoan hung up the call hearing the response and stood up.

"Emergency." After saying it, Xoan didn't wait for any response from anyone and left.

He had a top-level hacker and programmers under him. He didn't really take it seriously thinking the attacker might want to show off his skills but he never let anybody play on his company to display their skills.

He quickly hopped on his flashy Lamborghini and drove towards his company...

Xin had to be immediately notified who was busy tapping on his keyboard in his fully equipped office. 

Xin's assistant who went in that office felt his head spin seeing the codes run in small to big screens and wires all around him.

There were only black screens with neon green codes running on every computer which were alien to him.

"Boss Xin, our network is attacked."

Xin's fingers danced on the keyboard without taking him seriously.

"Boss?"

Xin's thin sharp brows furrowed high hearing the voice again. His lips cared to separate from each other, "So?"

He thought attacking was normal. With confidence, he frowned and grunted, "Get out."

"Boss Xin, The firewall is broken. The CEO told us to inform you."

Xin's hand froze on the keyboard but his lips were tilting up, confusing the man who was waiting for orders.

"Boss?"

Xin faced the man, his black iris sparkled like rare diamonds. The assistant involuntarily blushed by looking at Xin who was handsome and his smile was unbearably alluring.

"Seems like I got a competitor." His deep voice was mesmerizing yet cold.

Xin was the top hacker who won numerous competitions worldwide. Hence his arrogance suited him.

Xin stopped playing the noob hacker and aborted his previous work. He started working on catching the attacker who broke the firewall. 

His fluency was top grade hence in less than a minute he identified the location of the attacker.

Xoan West reached the office and heard Xin's announcement about the attacker.

"I got him. He is in the nearest club."
