A Love Rekindled (Nancy and Bruce) novel Chapter 34

Cindy choked and looked at Bruce helplessly.

Bruce hadn't expected me to say that, and there was a layer of frost in his eyes as he said, "It's just a laptop. Do you really need to make such a fuss, Ms. Fisher?"

Just a laptop.

He didn't remember. Or perhaps, he didn't want to remember.

I clenched my teeth, rage bubbling up in me. Then I pointed at Cindy's office table and said, "Then give me one of those in rose gold, Mr. Harold. You've always had a good eye. It'll save me from having to make a choice."

Bruce probably hadn't expected me to be so bold. He was stuck for an answer.

Cindy, the culprit, turned red, then white.

The atmosphere was tense.

Caroline quickly swooped in. "Although Ms. Lane didn't do it on purpose, the laptop is clearly broken. As she is still a student, the company will pay for the price difference."

Cindy's eyes widened in confusion. Her lips moved, as if she was on the brink of saying something.

"It's alright," Bruce refused decisively. "We will do as Ms. Fisher wishes. I'll arrange for it."

"Bruce," Cindy said agitatedly. "You can't. How can I make you pay…"

"Oh, Ms. Lane. Let's just resolve it this way." Caroline interrupted her. She smiled and said, "You're very lucky, Ms. Lane."

Then she looked at Bruce and asked, "Are we going straight to the mall, Mr. Harold?"

Caroline was more practical than I was.

Therefore, Bruce, Cindy, and I went to the mall together.

The shop owner saw that my laptop was ruined, so he sighed and said, "The motherboard is burnt and the damage is too great for repair."

I hadn't planned on repairing it, but there were too many important documents stored inside. I had to be sure that they would not be leaked.

Bruce got straight to the point. He pointed at a rose gold laptop that cost 9999 dollars and said, "Wrap this up for me."

He was so decisive that it stymied the owner, who paused and then introduced the laptop. "Sir, there's an upgraded version of this that will only cost an additional 2000."

Bruce looked at me at once, as if he were asking for my opinion.

Before I could speak, the owner said," Your girlfriend must be in the IT industry. Laptop brands are important in the industry, so you should choose a better one."

Beside us, Cindy suddenly spoke up. "Bruce, since the owner says so, let's get Nancy an upgraded version."

The owner's eyes flicked between the three of us, and his expression was unreadable.

Bruce looked at Cindy and said, "As you wish."

When Bruce had swiped his card, the owner asked happily, "What do you want to do with this?"

He was referring to the laptop that Cindy had drenched.
