The Kiss that Sparked it All

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 place. 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’s computers have been attacked by a virus. The system is completely 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 the computers, 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 the company computer, causing all the computers 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 blame you!”

Debby? The company’s nepotism kid! She and Ellinor were both still in their internships.

Nexus Industries was a Fortune 500 company, with many outstanding students wanting to join every year. Ellinor got here through the recommendation of the president of Creston University due to her excellent grades, while Debby, was said to be the manager’s relative..

There was only one official employee spot in the company this year, and it would be between her and Debby.

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
