Chapter 37 - Strange man

He saw her departing figure and thought inwardly, 'My laptop is no ordinary laptop, it's the most advanced laptop available in the market, then how can this little girl fix it'.

"Your coffee, sir… Enjoy it", she politely put the coffee cup in front of him.

"Hm! Thank you!" He picked the coffee cup and takes a sip, "There is some issue in this laptop, and it keeps on crashing. Can you fix it too? I will pay you for that". He tries to test her.

"Sir, I already fixed the issue, it was a minor glitch. Now it won't give you anymore problem in the future." She left him alone and went inside.

He nodded at her response and concentrated on his coffee.

When she came out with the bill, he had already left the place. On the table, she saw 200 dollars and a note.

'For 2 coffees and a broken cup, the rest is for your hospitality.'

"Strange man!" She shrugged and started cleaning the table.

"Wowwww! Boss! How did you fix this issue? This laptop is working perfectly!", his IT expert exclaimed while checking his laptop.

Feng Jianyu is sitting on his chair and reading a document. He looked up from the file, "Test it for a week and report me about it a week later".

"Alright boss!".

"Wait!" , He was about to leave when Feng Jianyu stopped him.

He halted in his steps and turned back, "Anything else, boss?"

"Make sure you test it properly. It should be a real test!", He said with a meaningful look in his eyes.

IT expert raised his brows, "No worry boss! In 1 week I will squeeze each and everything out of this laptop." He grinned mischievously.

"Hm! Good! But no unfair means", He sternly warned him with scary eyes.

IT expert gulped and shook his head continuously, "NO… NO… NO… Definitely No…", chanting it like a mantra he left.

In this 1 week, he daily went to the coffee house to drink coffee. Every night while heading back to his hotel after work, he would stop by the coffee house and order the same coffee.

Since it's a small coffee house and at night customers rarely come to drink coffee, therefore she is the only employee at night. Daily she would make him a cup of coffee.

But they never spoke to each other after their first meeting. After completing his order, she would go back to her work.

He would just sit in the coffee house and drink his coffee. But in reality, he used to watch her discreetly.

One day he got off early, and when he went to the coffee house she was repairing the coffee machine and a toolbox was kept aside. She picked up a screwdriver and started dismantling the machine. One by one the entire machine was opened in front of his eyes. She was so engrossed in her work that she didn't notice his presence.

He also didn't announce his arrival and quietly settled himself down. He chose the table from where he can watch her clearly. With a frown on her face, she was carefully studying the machine.

Upon finding the problem area, her eyes lit up and she smiled. Picking a tool from the tool kit, she started repairing the problem.

In no time the problem was solved and she praised herself, 'YES… good job'

In the next 5 minutes, she reassembled the entire machine and sighed in relief.

She looked at her wrist watch and muttered, "Thank God it got repaired on time, that strange man is about to come".

Feng Jianyu "…."

'Did she call me strange?'

She lifted her head and found him sitting on the chair. She smiled sheepishly at him and said, "Just give me a minute sir, I will take your order".

She washed her hand and took his order.

That day he saw her different side, and this only piqued his interest more into her.

After 1 week his IT expert came to him running, "BOSS! BOSS!....."

"Jianyu?"

"Jianyu? Where are you lost?", Wang Shi put his hand on Feng Jianyu's shoulder and bring him back from his reverie.

"Hm? What?", his eyes flickered.

"I asked… Where are you lost? What are you thinking so deeply?" He turned Feng Jianyu holding his arm and looks into his eyes. "If you are worried about her, then this only means that you don't trust me and my capabilities… I told you she is fine. Nothing is wrong with her. Stop worrying."

Feng Jianyu rubbed his hand over his face and exhaled audibly. "NO… I was just thinking about 7…..", he stopped mid-way and took a deep breath. "Anyways leave it… Is there anything else?"

"Yes! But first, let's go to the other room… I have to check your injury too"

"No, I am fi…"

"Come-on! It's my order!", Wang Shi did not allow his brother to complete his sentence and dragged him out of there pulling his arm.
