The next morning, Lisa returned to the office still feeling troubled. She was not in a good mood. Last night's incident really made it difficult for her to sleep, so let alone focusing on her work.

With puffy eyes, she turned on the computer on her desk. The light on the computer screen was so dazzling that it made Lisa squint.

"Sister Lisa, this is last year's archive. Please check it again," Sarah said, placing a pile of A4 sized folders on Lisa's desk.

Seeing the pile of files made Lisa take a deep breath as she rolled her eyes.

She stared at the computer screen lazily and languidly. If Oscar hadn't come and made trouble with Rangga last night, she would've finished her work smoothly today.

After a few minutes of typing, Lisa couldn't take it anymore. The drowsiness was so strong that it overcame her eyes' ability to grapple with the piling files that were as thick as a tombstone.

Lisa then decided to go to the pantry and made a cup of hot coffee. She hoped that the coffee would get rid of her drowsiness and help her focus. The aroma of the coffee she had just brewed was so great as it filled the finance department's room.

Lisa then returned to her desk. She blew the steaming hot cup solemnly. The scent of the coffee entered her sense of smell, relaxing her mind.

She sipped the coffee cup slowly, quenching her thirst.

However, Lisa was shocked when she stared at the suddenly black screen of her computer. She didn't remember turning off her computer screen when she went to the pantry, but why did it shut down like this?

"Sarah!" Lisa suddenly said, her right hand waving at her colleague.

"What's wrong, Sis?"

"Did you mess with my computer?" Lisa asked suspiciously.

Sarah shook her head. The woman then walked over to Lisa's desk. She glanced carefully at the computer screen.

"Try turning it on again, the power button," Sarah said, pointing.

Lisa pressed the button but nothing happened. The computer screen was still black, not a single light appeared.

'How strange.. it was fine when I left it,' Lisa said in her mind.

"Sis, try asking a technician for help just in case," Sarah said, giving advice.

"Now, I'll try to turn it on again. Then I'll ask the technician for help," Lisa checked all cables and heavy computer hardware carefully. Nothing unusual. Everything looked normal but why wasn't the computer screen turning on?

Lisa started to get worried. If her computer couldn't function until afternoon, her work would pile up by tomorrow.

She started circling in her place, feeling confused. "What's wrong with this computer! It doesn't help when I need it the most!" She complained then hit the table.

From a distance, Riani looked at the anxious Lisa with a satisfied smile. Seeing her coworker suffer like this was entertaining for her.

"Sis, what if it got a virus?" Sarah said spontaneously.

Lisa turned her head, looked at Sarah with disbelief. "Don't we have antivirus installed on all computers in this office?"

"I don't know. But some of my friends have experienced the same incident with your computer," Sarah casually replied.

Hearing that explanation, Lisa started to panic. She did not want her job to be delayed because of a trivial problem like the one that had just happened.

Unintentionally, Lisa exchanged glances with Riani. She stared into Riani's eyes and noticed her cunning glow. Lisa suspected that Riani was the culprit.

However, she didn't want to be rash. She also didn't have enough evidence to accuse Riani of what she might've done to her computer.

"Sis, instead of going around looking all anxious like this, shouldn't you call the technician department?" Sarah handed Lisa the office's phone receiver, but the woman ignored it.

She was still spinning on the spot like a confused chicken.

Not long after, a man in a gray shirt and black pants walked in. With a steady pace, the man approached Lisa's desk and smiled kindly at her.

He brought a toolbox and placed it on Lisa's desk.

"Excuse me, Miss. I heard that the computer won't turn on, right?" The gentleman asked Lisa politely.

"Ah, yes, the screen suddenly turned off. I don't know why, it was on when I left it!" Lisa answered plainly.

"Let me check the cable first," the man knelt down, sorting through the tangled strands of computer cable.

With a deft movement, he connected one of the cables that Lisa couldn't see.

The man then stood up and said, "Miss, the cable is broken!"

Lisa breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the man's words. She lowered her head and thanked him.

"Wait, I will check whether the file's safe or not," the man turned on Lisa's computer screen several times. The first time he tried, it didn't turn on. The second also went the same, but after the third time, a light appeared from the computer screen.

The man was tinkering again with Lisa's computer. Deftly, he typed on the keyboard and took care of everything. "Okay, the file was safe. Luckily it's just the screen that has the problem, but I've fixed everything!"historical

"Thank God! Thank you very much for your help, sir!" Lisa shook the man's hand excitedly. A smile radiated from her haggard face.

From behind her desk, Riani looked at Lisa with a sour face. She didn't like seeing Lisa beaming with joy. Her plan to torture Lisa failed because of the man in the gray shirt.

"It's really weird, I've checked the cable earlier but I didn't see anything bad. How come it's broken?" Lisa asked.

"The broken cable was on the inner side, Miss. It's hard to spot it," the man explained, touching the nape of his neck.

"Oh seriously, if nobody helps me, my work will pile up!" Lisa added, making small talk with him.

The man then replied with a smile on his face. That smile looked very sweet and charming. If looked closely, he had a pretty handsome face. Pure white skin without scars and thick shiny black hair. A sharp nose and a pair of radiant eyes.

The man looked like a model for skincare ads!

At first glance, the man looked familiar to Lisa's eyes. Then she looked at his face and remembered.

"Um, sorry," Lisa suddenly said. "Have we met before? Why are you familiar?"

The man chuckled and then replied, "Oh, I used to work at Petersson Communication in the hiring department. You used to work there too before, right?"
