Chapter 11 ~Track The Location~
IRIS'S POV~~
My cheeks turned hot in anger and embarrassment as I shot dagger glare on his cringe smirk.
He seemed to enjoy my poor state a lot. But I wasn't that kind of woman who would beg him to get my motive done!
I'm Iris who knew how to claim her own things!!
Giving him an indifferent glare, I hauled up from the cement floor before making my way towards the desk murmuring softly.
He smirked over my nonchalant attitude and leaned back against his office chair leisurely.
Plopping down on my office chair, my mind spontaneously scratched with numerous idea in order to impress this unscrupulous president. Unfortunately nothing came out until my eyes caught the sight of computer screen. A sudden thought flashed in my mind as I followed my own plan after stealing a glimpse of his face.
Soon after another awkward hour had passed away without exchanging a single word with him. I was too focused with my work thus nothing cropped in my mind for the time being.
This weeping awkwardness was interrupted by a sudden phone call on the telephone suddenly. Without averting my gaze from the screen, I saw him picking up the call from the corner of my eyes.
After listening the words from opposite side, his expression dropped turning into a cloudy gloom as he hauled up from his spot almost instantly. Ticking on his boots, he made his way outside without giving me any prior order.
Once he left the office, I looked up from my laptop screen confused later shrugged it off nonchalantly.
Why do I feel bothered when he hasn't said me anything???
XAVIER'S POV~~
I received an urgent call from Scott that the CEOS under my corporation had arrived in my office because of an emergency. I couldn't wait anymore and quickly trailed them towards my conference room. The fact that what had occurred all of sudden bothered me a lot as I just had cleared a mess.
As I pushed open the transparent door before stepping on the red carpet, they all had a terrified look as if they had witnessed a demon god.
I knew that I was known as ruthless, cold, domineering president for them but it didn't require to get tensed up all the time. Having a bad feelings about their sudden appearance, I plopped down at my king sized chair hesitantly before gesturing them to take their own respective spots.
I rested my fists together on the office desk before asking them with confusion surfaced face,
"What happened? You all have arrived in my office just in a short time."
The young ceo of Redhill Corporation spoke first pushing away a laptop towards my way,
"President, our personal server has been hacked all of sudden. Our database and planning regarding the upcoming project has been leaked to the hacker."
My face scrunched up as Scott pulled closer the laptop towards me. My eyes shifted on the hanging screen as I heard his trembled tone,
"It has happened an hour ago. At first, we thought that our IT departments could handle the situation. But this hacking team is way beyond to control and they couldn't recover the server till now. So we had to come here to seek for your help."
My mind went blank for a moment as I looked up at him asking coldly,
"Did you contact with my IT department? "
The other ceo replied nodding his head,
"Yes, we did. Even they are unable to recover it. "
My eyes flared up in rage as I gazed deeply into the screen. This was the first time that someone had the guts to attack my companies breaking the best security system of state.
But my mind was hinting at another noticeable point. The hacker didn't attack my own company" Eden International Limited" rather it had targeted the smaller companies who had collaboration with me. Is he giving me a threat?
I looked up at Scott who seemed stunned too and gave a brief order,
"Call Miss Young over here!"
Scott blinked at me for a few times before nodding and headed outside to call her.
It's time to prove her abilities of working under Xavier Gray!
IRIS'S POV~~
I was sipping my hot coffee holding a book from the desk and leaned against the office chair comfortably. My laughter sometimes echoed in the empty office room as I read the comics inside.
I can't believe that Mr President has such a hobby of reading comics. His face doesn't absolutely suit of a man who can enjoy reading comics.
As I immersed myself in reading, a hasty footsteps echoed in my ears along with Mr.Scott's urgent tone after pushing open the door half way,
"Miss Young, follow me. Mr President is calling you in the conference room."
My beaming face sank instantly as I put down my cup on the desk before getting up confusedly. Leaving me in completely daze, Mr.Scott urged me again to follow him fast.
I fixed my skirt uncomfortably
before making my way towards the conference room.Mr Scott walked too fast that made me breathless to catch up with his steps. Following him, quickly entered the conference room earning surprised glares from the row of people that were seated in the chairs.
Feeling a little awkward, I spotted the demon like man who was looking at me with his phoenix eyes. The other people seemed so surprised as if they had seen a ghost in broad daylight.
I quickly gave them a bow out of respect and looked at Mr President uncomfortably. Then I heard his magnetic tone commanding Mr Scott beside,
"Take a chair beside me."
Mr Scott quickly followed his order and set up a chair just beside him. Once again I was the attention of Mr President who gestured me nonchalantly, "Come and have a seat Miss Young. You have an important task to do here."
I looked down at the chair beside him hesitantly before approaching nearer slowly. Plopping down, I saw the people ahead completely dumbfounded. One of them suddenly spoke hinting his dissatisfaction,
"Mr President, this isn't any child's play. She is just a mere..."
His words were stuck when he received a cold glare from President harshly. The young man seemed afraid as he kept staring coldly uttering no words anymore.
I heard his confident and powerful voice buzzing across the room,
"Let me remind you Mr.Mendes. I am the president here of yours. I wouldn't have seated in the spot if I had treated this matter as child's play."
Mr.Mendes seemed completely defeated by his words and lowered down his gaze uncomfortably. The air in the room turned stiff as they all held a dissatisfied expression towards my presence.
I couldn't quite understand the entire matter until he pushed a laptop in front of me. I blankly saw a hang website and heard his order not bothering to ask my opinion,
"Prove me that you are eligible to work under me. This server is hacked for the past one hour. You have proudly mentioned that you have knowledge about programming. Now show your skills to me."
I looked up at his face that was staring at me deeply as if it was not giving me any chance to retaliate.
Well, I have been a hacker for two years only. I had worked with few international websites to ensure their security system. But I never revealed this job to anyone.
How.. how can he handover this important task to me? Did he find it out?
Even though he sounded rude and commanding, I saw the glimmer of confident in his ocean eyes for me. Like an intoxicated person, my mind stubbornly felt determined to not break his trust on me now. S
Pulling back my eyes on the computer screen, I shifted in my spot comfortably before sinking deep in my brain circulation. In no time, my body started emitting a dark aura of professional hacker as soon as my fingertips touched the keyboards. I treated everyone invisible around me and only kept my eyes on the computer screen glued.
Perhaps it was in the instinct of every hacker being secretive. I always preferred to do this part time work of mine alone at midnight.
Thus I completely devoted myself to finish this task and continued tapping..
Around Fourty Five Minutes Later,
I parted my lips to speak first still kept locking my eyes on the screen,
"The server is safe now and all the databases have been recovered safely. I have destroyed the leaked files too. Is there anything that I need to do?"
As soon as my words went out, the room was in uproar as I vaguely heard the commotion inside room without diverting my eyes.
I sensed those blue eyes staring at me with a glimpse of admiration that I didn't expect at all.
He ordered the noisy people coldly,
"You all may leave now. The further tasks wil be done by IT departments. She has done the main task already."
The Ceo's quickly left the room before glancing at me admiringly. I was still working on the last step of my coding when I heard his another command, "Can you track the hacker's location?"
I knew that I could. But still thought of replying,
"I will try."
He ordered bossily tapping on the desk,
"Do it..!"
I nodded my head slightly and started finding the exact location of this hacker. Soon after, my hands froze as I stared blankly on the screen.
This location....! I had no doubt of the person behind it.
Gulping down my discomfort quickly, I stopped working and glanced back at him saying,
"I couldn't figure out his exact location, Mr President. But the server is safe now. Your IT departments can start the next processes."
He looked at me frowning slightly as if he was holding suspension over my words. [
