Nathan pulled out a USB drive from his pocket, preloaded with a virus, and plugged it into Ava's computer. Once the computer read the drive, the virus would attack the system. By the next day, when someone tried to use the computer, it would be completely crashed, with all files wiped out.
"Ava, I'm sorry. I just want you to stay by my side..."
The next morning, Ava was awakened by her alarm clock. Today was the submission day, and she needed to get to the studio early to compile the design drafts. When she left, Nathan, for once, wasn't awakened. Watching Nathan's sleeping face, she felt a pang of guilt for the late night he had endured waiting for her. Once this project was over, she planned to make it up to him.
As soon as Ava entered the studio, Natalie followed her.
"Good morning! What brings you here so early?" Ava's mood was unusually cheerful, likely due to the project nearing completion.
