"Miss Dalton, I’m sorry, I’m really sorry, I... I didn’t think there’d be sothing in my pocket!" The young maid stood to the side, nervously pinching the corner of her clothes, "I... I’ll compensate you!"
The maid had just been hired by Sally Dalton to help tidy up the room and cook als.
She couldn’t cook, and Nathan Leafcastle was busy every day, she was just worried about his health.
"It’s fine!" Sally Dalton saw the maid was frightened with a pale face and smiled at her reassuringly, "No worries, just tidy up here!"
While speaking, she pinched the USB disk and walked to the living room, taking out a tissue to wipe it.
Nathan Leafcastle followed, taking the USB disk from her hand, removed the cap and wiped off the water.
"Does it have any important docunts inside?"
"Um... I’m not too sure, Vera Wave asked to give it to you. When I returned, she and Kris Cooper were downstairs, saying they wanted to pass it to you. I’m really sorry, I... I got busy and forgot."
Nathan Leafcastle looked at the USB disk in his hand, "What’s inside it?"
"I don’t know either." Sally Dalton glanced at the USB disk in his hand, "I’m sorry, it’s all my fault!"
Nathan Leafcastle lightly curled his lips, "I’ll take it upstairs to wipe it, dry it out, it shouldn’t affect its use. You go ahead and eat first!"
Sally Dalton still felt a bit guilty, "Nathan..."
"It’s okay!" Nathan Leafcastle smiled at her reassuringly, "If it doesn’t work, we can call her to ask for another copy, right?!"
After escorting her to the dining table, he turned and went upstairs back to the study room.
Carefully using tissues to wipe the water stains off the USB disk, he rummaged through the drawer to find a work box, carefully disassembled the USB disk and wiped off the water stains bit by bit.
Looking at the watermarks on the zinc plate, he rely frowned, and imdiately picked up his phone, dialing the assistant’s number.
"What should I do with a USB disk soaked in water?"
"Is it clean water or dirty water?"
"Clean water."
"If it’s clean water, try drying it before use, otherwise, it might damage the computer and the USB disk."
Nathan Leafcastle hung up the phone and carefully put away the parts, he thought for a mont and picked up his phone, pulled up Vera Wave’s number, hesitating whether or not to call her.
Knock knock knock!
Soone knocked on the door.
"Co in!"
Sally Dalton walked in, looking at the USB disk parts on his desk.
"Still... not working?"
"It needs to dry for a bit!" Nathan Leafcastle put down the phone, "Let’s go, let’s eat downstairs first."
The two headed downstairs together, after dinner, Nathan Leafcastle returned to the study room, took the USB disk from the box to look at it, knowing it hadn’t fully dried, he reluctantly put the parts back in the small box.
On the desk, the phone rang.
Seeing Mr. Smith’s number, he imdiately answered the call.
"Mr. Leafcastle, I have discussed with my partners, we have decided to collaborate with you, when can you sign the contract?"
Nathan Leafcastle lightly curled his lips.
"Now!"
"Great, I await you."
After hanging up the phone, Nathan Leafcastle turned and walked out of the study room. By now, Sally Dalton had also returned upstairs, seeing him carrying his suit out of the bedroom, she stopped in confusion.
"Going out this late?"
"There’s sothing urgent, I might be back a bit late, don’t wait for , go to sleep early!"
Walking over, he gently hugged Sally Dalton, Nathan Leafcastle quickly walked down the stairs and drove away.
Sally Dalton stood on the terrace watching his car go far away, and lightly sighed.?
