Five Years Wasted Now They Beg Her Back novel Chapter 284

The sounds of a heated argument were audible even through the door.

“Can you people at Silvergale Computing do anything right? You send a cripple to placate us? This system has been down for three days! We’re burning money every minute! If you don’t fix this today, I’ll see you in court!”

The client was a portly, middle-aged man, sputtering with rage.

The head of the Aurelian Reach branch, a young man, was sweating bullets. “Mr. Moorland, please, calm down. The expert from headquarters will be here any second…”

“Expert? You mean that one at the door?” Mr. Moorland pointed at Grace, who had just walked in, his face a mask of contempt. “Anyone can call themselves an expert these days?”

Grace closed her umbrella, droplets of water pattering onto the floor.

She took a pair of blue-light-blocking glasses from her bag, put them on, and walked straight to the main console.

“Move.”

Her voice was icy, devoid of any warmth.

Mr. Moorland was taken aback by her presence and instinctively took a step back. “You…”

“I’m here to solve a problem, not listen to you complain.”

Grace sat down, her long fingers flying across the keyboard.

Lines of code cascaded down the screen like a waterfall.

The young man from the branch office stared in disbelief. “Ma’am… Ms. Hart, the system’s underlying architecture is a mess. It’s what the last guy left behind. It’ll take at least three days to sort out…”

“Three minutes.”

Grace didn’t even turn around.

“Wh-what?”

“I said, give me three minutes.”

The frantic clacking of the keyboard suddenly stopped.

Grace hit the enter key.

The alarm screen, which had been a solid, dead red, instantly flashed to a reassuring green.

The server room fell silent.
