“123 movies got me again...” Lina sheepishly handed over her laptop. Maybe she should get a new one at this point (it was 8 years old now) but where would she be without walking into this shop every now and then with it? Other times she just visited with gifts. Speaking of! Lina went into her purse and pulled out some good ‘ol chocolate syrup. “And here is some tip!” Bright smile, Lina—bright smile. Maybe he won’t kill her.
He was going to kill her.
Well, that was until she pulled out the chocolate syrup anyway. She knew his weakness for chocolate, damn it.
He shifted his hold on the laptop in order to take the treat, a sigh heavy on his lips as he stared at her with narrowed eyes. How many times had he fixed her cursed laptop now? He’d lost count. Yes, it was his job and he was getting paid for it but, he certainly felt like he deserved a pay rise for dealing with this repeated ( and frustrating ) situation. They could call it the Lina Bonus™ or something.
“Evangeline.” He used her full name like a punishment and let the moment drag for an uncomfortably long time. Then, finally – “One day I’m not going to be able to fix this relic, you know.”
That day was far off, he knew, but she didn’t, and so he hoped she would at least make more of an effort to be careful.
