Chapter 93
After finishing her call, Caroline went to the police station to get her laptop.
“The laptop has been completely destroyed,” a policeman said. “I’m afraid It can’t be fixed.”
Caroline frowned.
There was only a week left before the competition’s deadline. There wasn’t enough time, even if she redrew the design.
After some thought, Caroline still decided to head to a repair shop in the city center.
There, the staff took one look at the laptop and said, “It’s been completely destroyed. You’d better buy a new one.”
Feeling low, Caroline walked out of the repair shop. After a few steps, she heard someone calling her.
“Ms. Evans?”
Caroline looked back to find Sean waving at her by the road.
“What are you doing here, Dr. Yates?” Caroline cheered herself up and went over.
“I heard there’s a restaurant serving authentic local cuisine around here.” Sean fidgeted with his GPS. “But I can’t seem to find it.”
Caroline moved closer to take a look. She laughed and explained, “It’s in an alley. No wonder you couldn’t find it. Let me take you there.”
Sean didn’t reject her offer. He parked the car, and they both headed toward the restaurant.
After a lot of walking, they entered a quiet alley. It was so secluded that it didn’t seem to belong in the bustling city.
The restaurant was at the end of the alley. The paint on its sign was peeling.
“This is the one!” Sean was as excited as a kid in a candy store.
Caroline had achieved her goal. “Then I’ll be going now.”
“Don’t!” Sean stopped her. “It was fate that we met. I’ll buy you a meal.”
It was great timing because Sean had something to talk to Caroline about too.
Thinking about her laptop, Caroline didn’t have any appetite.
‘It’s alright. I still have something to do.” This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
*One meal won’t delay you too much, right?” Sean had already gone inside and asked for a table for two.
The restaurant was well maintained. However, there weren’t many customers at this hour.
A waiter brought the menu over, and Sean let Caroline order first, like a true gentleman.
Caroline ordered some of the chef’s recommendations, and Sean ordered a few more. Then, the waiter left.
Once the waiter was gone, Sean asked. “I saw you walk out of the repair shop. Are you fixing up your laptop?”
“Yes.”
“May I have a look at it?”
Caroline handed her laptop over to him.
Sean gave it a few looks and tutted. “How did it end up this way?”
Caroline didn’t respond.
Sean continued, “But that’s alright. Even if it’s in this state, Kirk can get it fixed for you.”
Caroline wasn’t hopeful. “The repair shop said it couldn’t be fixed.”
‘That’s their opinion.” When Sean brought up Kirk, he was very animated. “Leave it to Kirk. He can save anything.”
