Chapter 586 That’s the Problem?
Elise understood what happened. She probably was going to go on a date with her boyfriend, but I called her, so she said no. “Did I get in your way?” Elise quickly went over and pushed Mikayla and Miquella closer together. “Go on your date. I don’t want to disturb you guys.”
Mikayla blushed. Miquella quickly took her away. “We’ll be going then. You guys have fun.”
They went to the door and disappeared a moment later.
Elise saw them off, feeling rueful. Mikayla says she’s a sucker for good looks. If the guy isn’t handsome enough, she won’t even feel her heart flutter.
Miquella wasn’t as outstanding as Jack was, but he did resemble a popular star called Randy, and he made a good boyfriend for Mikayla. She used to worry that her friend might get hurt because she only cared about Jack, but now she realized that fate had other plans for her.
Miquella’s friends were amused that he left them behind. “Hoes before bros, huh?”
“What should we do? Are we still watching the competition?”
Elise looked inside. She didn’t think they would need that big of a place, so she asked Sheldon, “They’re my friend’s friends. Why don’t you let them watch the match in the café while we reserve a room?”
“Suit yourself.” Sheldon went into the room. “It’s almost time. Stop fooling around.”
The boys put their hands in a prayer. “Thank you for your blessing, lady. Thank you, rich man.”
Elise said nothing. The three of them came into the biggest room. “Not a bad PC,” Elise praised not long after she turned the PC on. “Sutherland Corporation’s CPU improved.”
I’ll get Arthur to send me two sets. Laptops are convenient, but PC’s are faster. If I used this baby back when I was talking to the fake Joseph, I might have been able to lock in on his location.
Sheldon looked at her and teased, “Wow, you know your stuff.”
“Just a little,” Elise said humbly.
If Alexander was around, he would know what her ‘a little’ meant, but Sheldon thought of it as a joke. He thought Elise only said that so she wouldn’t embarrass herself in front of them. What do girls know? They probably think it’s a good computer just because the resolution is higher. But what she said next shocked him.
“It’s the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon core. It has twenty thousand nodes, and hardware acceleration only takes 0.6 seconds. It’s unparalleled for its rank, at least in the domestic market.”
Even Elliot craned his neck to look at her. “You’re from computer science, aren’t you?” He looked at the reception. “No wonder he charged us a hundred an hour. It’s worth the price. I wanna ask him where I can get this. If I can get a couple of them back to school, I don’t have to come out ever again.”
“You want to buy a PC?” Elise asked. “Then get it from my friend. He’s in this industry. He can give you a discount.”
“Not the point. See this? It’s produced by Sutherland Corporation. It’s not sold anywhere else. Probably only circulates internally. Most people can’t buy it,” Elliot said.
