Joanna hung up in such a hurry that Corinne was left listening to the dial tone before she could even ask anything.
Since she was still wrapped in a towel, she opened the closet to see if there were any clothes she could wear. Unfortunately, however, it was filled only with Jeremy’s clothes. With few choices available, she grabbed a random white T-shirt and put it on before hurrying out the door.
Jeremy’s T-shirts were sufficiently big for her that the hem reached down to her knees. It was the perfect size to be styled like one of those oversized casual shirt-dresses.
…
Upon reaching Alpha Enterprises, Corinne swiped her access card at the door, and Joanna—who seemed particularly agitated—ran out to find her.
“Corinne, you’re finally here! The manager wants you to go to his office immediately! You need to prepare yourself. Well, mentally, at least.”
“The manager is looking for me?”
It was rare to see Joanna looking so nervous.
“What happened?”
Joanna glanced left and right, making sure that no one was around. She then whispered to Corinne, “The company’s computers were all infected with a virus, and the system has crashed completely! All of the company’s important files were lost…”
Corinne frowned. “And what does that have to do with me? They should be calling a technician to fix it if the computer’s broken.”
Joanna was evidently anxious. “The technicians are doing their best to repair it. The point is, Zoey reportedly told the manager that the virus came from your computer after you downloaded a game using the company computer.
“To make things worse, the boss invited some big shots to take a look at the company’s new project today, but it’s impossible to recover the presentation file that our department has worked so hard on. The entire situation left the manager fuming, and he’ll definitely blame you right now!”
‘Zoey? Zoey Firwood? The one whom everyone says has inside connections in the company?’ Corinne thought.
Zoey, like Corinne, was still midway through their internship period. Their company, Alpha Enterprises, made the international top 500 list of companies. Annually, a large number of high-achieving students put in a tremendous amount of hard work and effort just to try and get into the company.
