Chapter 37 - Strange man (1/2)

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.

”Woe 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.
