Chapter 138 Broken Laptop


    J''sptop screen instantly went ck. A slight sizzling sound came from inside it, and it


    coughed out a puff of smoke. The air smelled of coffee and burnt metal.

    J hurriedly tried to wipe the coffee off herptop with some tissue, but it was toote. When she


    picked it up, the wholeptop was dripping with coffee and couldn''t be turned on.


    "Oh, my God! I''m so sorry! The coffee was so hot, and you cup was made of ss, so I dropped it


    identally!" Kaya''s hands flew to her mouth and she kept apologizing.


    "Let me see if the data in the hard disk can still be restored." Angry but helpless, J didn''t know


    what else to say. She quickly took theptop to the Technology Department downstairs.


    The technical staff carefully pried out the hard disk from theptop and inspected it. A brief moment


    later, they shook their heads and told J that it waspletely soaked and was irreversibly


    damaged.


    Standing beside J, Kaya apologized again. "I take full responsibility for this. I''ll buy you a new


    laptop, I promise."


    "This is apanyptop. It''s only right that you pay for it. But all my drawings were in this


    computer. Now the data is damaged beyond restoration. What are you going to do about that?"


    J''s tone was calm, but her eyes shed dangerously.


    Kaya lowered her eyes, unable to utter another word.


    It turned out that the woman in front of her wouldn''t be as easy to bully as she thought.


    "Why are you so angry? I already said sorry and that I''d take responsibility. Is it really necessary to


    be so aggressive?" Kaya pulled a long face, as though she was the one who was wronged.


    Just then, Tiffany happened to pass by and overheard their conversation. She knocked on the ss


    door from outside.


    "What''s going on? Go outside if you two want to fight. Don''t disturb your officemates." Tiffany shot


    the two women an icy cold look.


    Biting her lower lip, Kaya tried to defend herself. "Ms. Fisher, here''s what happened. I''ve been


    working overtime every day this week and I''m exhausted. On my break, I made myself some coffee


    and offered Miss Lind here some, but it was too hot that I identally dropped her cup. I spilled the


    coffee on Lind''sputer, but it was just an ident. I''ll take responsibility for it and buy her a new


    laptop."


    She especially stressed the fact that she had been working overtime for a week. Her voice dripped


    with sarcasm, which made J feel that something was wrong. It sounded like Kaya was implying


    that J hadn''t worked overtime for the past few days, unlike her.


    J didn''t want to see Kaya in a bad light, but now it just didn''t seem like a mere coincidence.


    "So what about my design drawings, which were stored in myptop? How will youpensate me


    for that?" J looked at Kaya sharply.


    "You need to redraw them yourself of course. How can I do that for you? Plus, I''ve already


    apologized to you." Kaya raised her chin slightly, but there was no mistaking the indifference in her


    tone. She reasoned that J could do nothing to her.


    In this stage of thepetition, Kaya was most likely to be selected for the promotion. But she had


    heard from other designers that there was a promising neer in thepany. It was said that


    this neer was a dark horse and would make for a strongpetitor.


    Kaya had to get rid of J as soon as possible, so she came up with this ploy.


    Kaya''s indifferent attitude annoyed J. "I don''t have enough time to redo everything. How can I


    start over and finish on time when the deadline is tomorrow?"


    "I can only take responsibility for theptop. As for the rest, that''s your problem." After saying that,


    Kaya turned around abruptly and was about to leave.
