Chapter 384


    Hera slept in untilte morning the next day. She woke up with a pounding headache.


    She vaguely remembered going to a bar with Samantha the night before. She seemed to have met a handsome guy, and then it seemed like she went home with that guy.


    She sat up abruptly and looked around, confirming that she was in her room at the courtyard house. She immediately let out a sigh of relief, but then she realized something was off.


    She wondered how she got back and if she had brought that guy home with her.


    Looking down at herself, she saw that she was in her pajamas. She questioned if she really did bring him back.


    She immediately found her phone and called Samantha. The phone rang for a long time. When it was about to disconnect, a man answered.


    "Who''s this? Speak up or hang up. I''m still sleeping!"


    The man''s voice was groggy and annoyed at being woken up by the call.Content rights belong to N?velDrama.Org.


    Hera recognized the voice.


    "Shaun?"


    On the other end of the call, Shaun didn''t realize he had picked up the wrong phone.


    "Hera? Do you need something?"


    Hera didn''t know what to say. She wondered if Shaun and Samantha had gotten together.


    Hera calmly reminded Shaun.


    "I called Samantha''s phone."


    He was stunned momentarily, looked at the phone, and realized his mistake. So, he tossed the phone to the woman whoy beside him. "It''s for you."


    Samantha was jolted awake by the phone''s impact. She looked at the screen showing "Hera," and was immediately alert.


    "Hera, let me exin-"


    Hera didn''t want to hear her exnations and cut her off.


    "How did I get backst night?"


    "Mr. Killian took you back."


    Hera had a bad feeling.


    "Did you call him to pick me up?"


    "No..."


    Samantha recounted all the embarrassing things Hera had done the previous night.


    After that, Hera hung up the phone coldly and covered her face with her hands. She concluded that drinking would only cause trouble and that it made people stupid.


    After washing up, Hera administered an acupuncture treatment to herself, instantly relieving her headache. Then, she changed her clothes and went to have breakfast.


    "Hera, a young boy in the front hall is looking for you. He says he''s your brother," Everly said as she entered.


    Hera put down her fork and wiped the corner of her mouth with a napkin.


    "Bring him in."


    "Okay."


    Everly soon returned with Gino, who was carrying a heavy backpack.


    "Hera, I brought yourputer. How did you assemble it? Why can''t le make it work?" Gino asked as he ced the backpack on the coffee table. Then, he pulled out aptop and a half-assembled one. Content

    As Hera sat down to check on the half-assembledputer, Bernard happened toe out of the study. He saw theputer parts on the table and couldn''t help but look closer.


    "Did you choose this configuration?"


    He looked at Hera.


    She suddenly felt like the half-assembledptop was getting warmer. That''s because she hadn''t figured out a solution the previous night before she passed out and it hurt her pride.


    "That''s right, isn''t it impressive?" Gino said proudly.


    "I even got theseputer parts by exchanging the list Hera wrote for me with the shop owner—"


    Hera interrupted Gino, "I simply copied the list off a hacker''s forum."


    Gino was dumbfounded.


    He questioned whether he really heard Hera say she copied the list. He wondered how could such a list be worth two sets ofputer hardware and


    if the shop owner as dumb.


    "A hacker''s forum? Are you trying to learn hacking?"


    Bernard caught the keyword.
