The Day I Kissed An Older Man by Cher the Cherished

Joanna felt that Corinne was very optimistic, and by contrast, she was already prepared for the worse. As depressing as it was to face the fact that the project plan which she had spent a whole month preparing for was irretrievable, there was nothing she could do to change the situation.

With a sigh, Joanna went to the pantry. “Do your best, Corinne. I’ll make you a cup of coffee to boost your concentration.”

“Thanks!” Corinne replied. At the same time, a red progress bar appeared on the black screen of the computer.

Once the progress bar was full, Corinne immediately cracked the password. She clicked open a hidden dialog box and tapped away on the keyboard. Then, she hit [Enter] and sent her message.

[What kind of grudge do you have?]

The shocked hacker replied, [Who are you? How were you able to bypass the AJ League’s ultimate encryption system?]

Corinne’s fingers danced across the keyboard. [My identity isn’t the main issue here. The main issue is why you hacked Alpha Enterprises’ computer system. Behind every grudge is a specific person, and you ought to be settling scores with the person who provoked you, rather than ruining innocent people’s fruit of labor.]

The hacker refused to back down and immediately fought back. However, his attacks were successfully intercepted by the defense system that had been set up by his target. He could not help himself from feeling a sense of admiration for his mystery opponent whose skills were superior to his own.

…

By the time Joanna came back with coffee, Corinne had restored the computer system to its previous state, and that included all the files within.

“It is fixed! You’re amazing, Corinne! How did you do it?”

Corinne pulled out the USB flash drive and twirled it on the tip of her fingers. She leaned back lazily on the chair and said with a smile, “This antivirus software that I bought online for a dollar during a promotion sale claims to work against all sorts of computer viruses. Looks like they weren’t lying after all. I’ll be sure to leave them a good review later!”

Joanna frowned in confusion and said puzzlingly, “Huh? You fixed the computer using antivirus software? The technical department said that antivirus software was useless, but I’m beginning to think they’re the useless ones!”

Corinne reached out to take the cup of coffee in Joanna’s hand. She nodded and said, “Alright. Don’t you think you should get around to copying the file and showing it to Mister Alfred?”

“Oh, right. I’ll go right now. You’re the best, Corinne!” Joanna blew a kiss to Corinne and hurried off.
