Chapter 104 The Sister Who Shows Up Swinging\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla stared at him, bewildered.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kaleb snapped, \u201cEmmett, get her out of here. If you ever sneak her in again, you can go too.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Emmett froze. \u201cKaleb, calm down. Ayla is already here. How am I supposed to throw her out?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla looked from Kaleb to Emmett and understood. \u201cSo you ignored everything I told you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Emmett didn\u2019t dare admit it. \u201cAyla, no. I just \u2026 didn\u2019t think you\u2019d really help us.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kaleb\u2019s brows tightened as he glared at Ayla. \u201cYou actually know what you\u2019re doing?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re just an undergrad from Agron University. Not even an honors grad. How could you possibly handle this job?\u201d Kaleb didn\u2019t believe a word of it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla walked up to his desk. His eyes were sharp like a wolf ready to bite. Weirdly, she found it cute. She smiled. \u201cKaleb, you\u2019ve ignored me for years. How do you know so much about my life? Secretly keeping tabs on me?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
His face stiffened. \u201cQuit dreaming. Why would I care about you? Cutting ties with you can\u2019t happen fast enough.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cRight. Dawn of time to now, you can\u2019t say one nice thing to me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla glanced at the time, realizing she was wasting breath. \u201cTake me to your tech department. I\u2019ll patch the hole tonight. Over the next few days, I\u2019ll rebuild your firewall.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kaleb knew exactly how dangerous this breach was. She said it so lightly, like it was a three-day homework assignment. If she really had the skills, fine. But he was certain she didn\u2019t. It felt like she was mocking him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He was already angry and stressed. Ayla showing up only made it worse.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He swallowed the fire in his chest. \u201cFine. I\u2019ll take you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The tech staff had seen Ayla yesterday. After hearing her brag about finishing repairs and rebuilding the firewall in one week, everyone assumed she was delusional:\u00a0<\/p>\n
Now Kaleb actually brought her in himself. Could she really be good?\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Keaton, is she some top expert you hired?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kaleb shot Ayla a sideways look. \u201cDidn\u2019t you say you could handle it? Go on. Show them.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla curled her lips in a cold smile at him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat are you laughing at? Didn\u2019t you want to act all impressive?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ayla pinched his arm hard. \u201cTalk like a human.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

For a second Kaleb flashed back to childhood, when she bullied him all the time. His face twitched. Then he snapped, \u201cNo!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
It hurt like hell.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The tech team fell silent.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Everyone knew Kaleb and Emmett were the founders. Emmett was easy to get along with so no one was afraid of him. Kaleb was the opposite.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He was cold and had a bad temper.\u00a0<\/p>\n
So most of the time, Kaleb was the one calling the shots, and nobody dared to fool around when he was nearby.\u00a0<\/p>\n
So Ayla pinching him like that was unbelievable.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kaleb was rough but detail-oriented, young and arrogant. Nobody in the company could keep him in check.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The tech department had been suffocating under the crisis for days. The director tried to lighten the mood. \u201cMr. Keaton, is this your girlfriend?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla stared at him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
What kind of people had Kaleb hired?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kaleb grabbed a stack of folders and threw them at the director. \u201cWatch your mouth. You want lightning to strike you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The director blinked. \u201cIt\u2019s that serious?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He looked helplessly at Emmett.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Emmett slapped his arm. \u201cShe\u2019s Mr. Keaton\u2019s sister, Ayla. Open your eyes. They look almost identical.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHuh?\u201d The director looked again.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Same eyes. Same expression. Kaleb\u2019s features were sharper, which made his stare more intimidating.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The director flushed and apologized profusely,\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla pulled out her thick laptop and set it down. \u201cLet\u2019s start.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The director looked at Kaleb, panicked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She\u2019s actually serious?\u00a0<\/p>\n
The database had collapsed. They were drowning in work. They didn\u2019t have time to babysit the boss\u2019s\u00a0<\/p>\n

Kaleb glared at Ayla for a few seconds, then said to the director, \u201cWhatever she asks you to do, you do it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, sir.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He must have reached the point of no return.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla had stayed up all night building a repair model. She only needed to connect to their terminal and run it. Not a big deal, but she needed someone to assist.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She gave instructions, and the director followed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kaleb watched for a while but couldn\u2019t understand anything she was doing. He finally walked out to the meeting room and lit a cigarette.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Emmett wanted to believe Ayla could help, but logic said she couldn\u2019t. He lit one too.\u00a0<\/p>\n
They smoked in silence.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kaleb asked, \u201cWhat about the people you contacted?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI reached them. They quoted 15 million dollars. And they need one month,\u201d Emmett said, defeated.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kaleb\u2019s face darkened. \u201cHe might as well go rob a bank.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
