Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 387

The study filled with the frantic clatter of keyboards as Shanley and Juniper typed furiously.

At one point, Juniper glanced up at Shanley. He was fast, she had to give him that. He had the makings of a top-tier hacker for Binary Oracle.

Shanley, in turn, stole a look at her. Her fingers flew across the keyboard, a blur of motion. She was a natural. With a little training, she could easily take the top spot at Cybernetic Shadows.

Ten minutes later, both their systems crashed, heavily infiltrated by the other. It was a draw.

“That psycho”, Shanley thought, stopping his work.

“That old relic”, Juniper fumed, closing her game.

They stood up at the same time.

"Finished with work?" Juniper asked.

"Done with your game?" Shanley countered.

"Yeah."

"Mm-hmm."
