Chapter 8
The phone call ended abruptly, with Ellinor barely having time to ask anything before hearing the busy
tone. She had no clothes to wear, and all she found in the closet were the weird guy’s clothes.
She put on a random men’s white T–shirt, which hung down to her knees like an oversized casual
dress. It didn’t look too out of ce. Then, Ellinor rushed out the door.
At Nexus Industries.
Ellinor was clocking in at the front door when Gemma, who had a head full of troubles, rushed out to
find her.
“Ellinor, finally, you’re here! The manager wants you in his office ASAP, brace yourself….”
“The manager wants me?”
Ellinor rarely saw Gemma this anxious, “What on earth happened?”
Gemma looked around to make sure no one was listening and then whispered to Ellinor, “All the
company’sputers have been attacked by a virus. The system ispletely paralyzed, all the
important internal files have been lost….”
Ellinor frowned, “What’s that got to do with me? If there’s a problem with theputers, they should
call the tech guys.”
Gemma said worriedly, “The tech guys are on it! The point is, Debby told the manager that it was
because you downloaded a game on thepanyputer, causing all theputers to get infected!
And today, the boss invited an important client to check out our new project. The presentation of the
project we’ve worked so hard on can’t be pulled up now. The manager is furious. He’s definitely going
to me you!”
Debby? Thepany’s nepotism kid! She and Ellinor were both still in their internships.
Nexus Industries was a Fortune 500pany, with many outstanding students wanting to join every
year. Ellinor got here through the rmendation of the president of Creston University due to her
excellent grades, while Debby, was said to be the manager’s rtive..
There was only one official employee spot in thepany this year, and it would be between her and
Debby.
Ellinor had a rough idea of what was going on.
Before Ellinor knocked on the manager’s office door, she heard Debby inside trying to calm the
manager down.
“Don’t worry, theputers will be fixed! It’s all Ellinor’s fault, ying games during work hours….”
Morgan angrily said, “Where the hell is that damn Ellinor? Why isn’t she here yet?”
Ellinor knocked on the door and pushed it open. “Manager, you wanted to see me?”
As soon as Morgan saw her, he started yelling. “Ellinor, so you finally decided to show up? On a
workday, youe to work at this time? You took a day off without a reason yesterday. Is this your
work ethic?”
Ellinor walked in and politely exined, “I’m sorry, I got married yesterday, and I ran into some trouble
this morning, so I’m a bitte.”
Morgan found Ellinor’s excuseughable, “Married? Even if you really were getting married, don’t you
know to ask for leave? Do you think this is your house? Come and go as you please, bete if you
want to, y games if you want to!”
Ellinor replied, “This is my first time getting married, and I have no experience. I will ask for leave in
advance next time.” Debby just couldn’t stand it anymore.
“Ellinor, you’re shameless. Skip work, and you even use marriage as an excuse. This is just a
ridiculous excuse!”
At this point, the office door was open.
Thepany’s CEO Joseph and a formidable man were standing at the door, just in time to hear
Ellinor’s reply to Morgan. Theo squinted slightly.
Morgan was about to continue scolding Ellinor when he saw the two men at the door, he quickly stood
up and went to greet them with a big smile.
“Oh! Mr. Joseph, when did you and Mr. nchet arrive, pleasee in….”
Debby took the opportunity to look over, when she saw the handsome and chic man next to Joseph,
she was immediately
smitten
Ellinor didn’t care too much, she just nced over, and then her eyes widened!
That weird guy? Why did she see him everywhere!
Thepany’s CEO Joseph asked seriously, “Morgan, what were you guys arguing about just now? I
heard that thepany’s system ispletely paralyzed, what’s going on?”
Morgan, sweating profusely, pointed at Ellinor and said, “…Joseph, it’s the new intern. She was ying
games during work hours, leading to thepany’s system being invaded by a virus, the tech
department is currently fixing it urgently….”
Joseph angrily said, “What? Why are you still keeping an intern like this, are you nning to hire her
officially?!”
Morgan quickly shook his head, “No! Joseph, I’m going to fire her right away!”
Debby smirked smugly. Theo nced at Ellinor with a cold look, not lingering. Just like he never knew
her, he said coldly, “Joseph, it seems I picked the wrong time toe, so let’s do this another day!”
“Mr. nchet, I’m really sorry to let you see this…”
Joseph felt very guilty, he knew it would be even harder to invite Mr. nchet again.
At this point, Ellinor saw Gemma anxiously peering in from the office door. She suddenly remembered
that this new project was Gemma’s first time leading a team independently. If this project failed, she
could never get a chance to take on important tasks again. Gemma had always taken good care of her
during her internship.
“Mr. nchet!” Ellinor suddenly spoke up.
Theo, who had already turned around, stopped.
Ellinor walked up to him, “Mr. nchet, I know your time is precious, but since you’re here, you should
do something. Otherwise, missing out on a good project would truly be a waste of time!”
Theo looked at her, “It seems you don’t have anything to show me right now.”
Ellinor confidently stated, “Just give me a coffee break, and I can get the new project’s PPT
presentation in front of Mr.
nchet!”
Joseph and Morgan looked at Ellinor in disbelief. Debby rolled her eyes contemptuously. All the tech
experts were scrambling to solve the problem, and yet there was Ellinor, talking big about how she
could fix it.
Was she just blowing smoke? Was this her attempt to make up for her previous screw–ups?
After a two–second pause, a hint of interest showed on Theo’s poker face. “Youngdy, you have a
strong fighting spirit. Joseph, since I am here and feeling a bit parched, let’s have a cup of coffee
before I go!”

Snapping back to reality, Joseph immediately ordered, “What are you waiting for? Go make Mr.
nchet a coffee!”
“Roger that!”
Seizing the opportunity to interact with Theo, Debby rushed off to make the coffee.
Ellinor returned to her desk and plugged a USB into herputer.
Gemma walked over curiously and asked, “Ellinor, what are you doing? Do you actually know how to fix
aputer?”
Focused on the screen, Ellinor replied while clicking her mouse, “I’m installing an antivirus software.”
Gemma sighed in disappointment, “Ellinor, that’s useless. The tech guys said thepany was
targeted by a hacker. Antivirus software won’t do a thing.”
Lifting her head slightly, Ellinor gave Gemma a faint smile, “Let’s just give it a shot. Who knows,
miracles do happen.”
