Chapter 316: Good Guy Award

True to her words, it took Raelle exactly two hours to be done with her meeting. She sorted out her things and sent a voice message to Hyson: "I'm clear!"

Hyson replied with: [Don't log in through your phone. Go and find a computer to play.]

Raelle stared at this message for a minute then she looked around the room. Eventually, she stood up and walked out of the door. Seeing Raelle at the door, Anna stepped over and asked, "Is there anything you need, Missy? Or are you going somewhere?"

Raelle looked at her and nodded saying, "Where can I find a computer to play games?"

Anna paused for a split second before replying, "We can look for an internet cafe in the vicinity."

Raelle liked that idea somewhat and agreed, "Then find out if there is an internet cafe nearby."

"Yes, Missy!" Anna pressed the communicator in her ear and instructed the others to look for a cafe. Looking back at Raelle, she said, "Why don't you wait inside? If we learn something we'll let you know." Before Raelle could agree or disagree with her suggestion, Anna heard something from her communicator and told Raelle, "There is an internet cafe just right around the corner."

"Lead the way," said Raelle as she closed the door behind her and stepped out to follow Anna out of the hotel. 

As she was told, the internet cafe was really right around the corner and it was a high-class one as well. Raelle stood at the counter of the internet cafe looking at the girl who was solving test papers of maths. Looked like she was a high schooler.

When the girl looked up and saw Raelle standing on the other side of the counter, she was stunned for a minute. For no other reason than the strikingly beautiful face of hers. She really couldn't look away. And as good people are pleasing to everyone, her tone also softened as she asked, "Yes, how can I help you?"

Raelle turned her head to look at Anna as if asking her to answer the question. Anna's lips curled up slightly as she thought inside, 'Aren't you usually eloquent? Why aren't you answering yourself?' But she didn't say it out loud and didn't let her thoughts disrupt her work. She faced the high school girl and asked, "Do you have private rooms?"

The girl nodded her head, "Yes, we do."

"Then we'll take the private room," said Anna. She extended her hand towards Raelle and said, "Card."

Raelle pulled out her wallet and placed a credit card in her hand. Anna froze when she saw her doing it so naturally.

"Missy, I need your ID card to register," informed Anna.

"Oh," Raelle finally got it and took back the credit card before exchanging it with her ID card.

The young girl standing at the counter also saw this exchange and was actually amused. She didn't think Raelle was dumb. She found her quite unique. 

"How many hours?" she inquired.

Anna looked at Raelle and repeated the question, "How many hours you're planning to stay?"

"I am not sure," said Raelle. She really wasn't sure but playing games often end up being a long-time affair. So, she answered, "Let's go with four."

Anna told the girl who nodded her head and punched it in the system. "How will you be paying? WeChat pay?"

"I don't use digital money though," said Raelle.

"We accept cash as well," said the girl.

"I don't think I have cash either," was Raelle's response. As she was about to pull her credit card out again, Anna stepped in to show her phone screen to let the girl scan the QR code.

The girl politely returned the ID card and said thank you before telling them they could enter. Anna directed the way and brought Raelle to the second floor where the private rooms were. First, she entered to check up on everything. Then she even used the wet wipes to clean the table for Raelle. And only after doing all that did she say to her, "Missy, do you need anything? Anything to drink perhaps?"

"Water will do," answered Raelle.

"I'll bring it right now," Anna went out and brought back the bottle of the water for her. "You can use the computer here. I'll be downstairs waiting for you."

Raelle had never been to an internet cafe before. She never had the need to visit one either. So, she was unfamiliar with everything here. Even the process of registering for a computer. One thing she was most familiar with was the computer. No matter how high-performing computer it was, she'd be more than familiar with it.

She expertly logged in to the game and put on her headphones. Seeing that Hyson was online, she sent him a message, [I'm here!]

Hyson pulled her into his team and opened the voice function to question, "Did you find the computer?"

"Yeah," she told him.

"Where?" he questioned.

"Internet cafe," answered Raelle.

"Wow! You actually went to the internet cafe?" asked Hyson in surprise. 

"Had no other choice for now," was Raelle's response. "In fact, it isn't bad here. The computer is at least good for gaming."

"Of course, the computer is good for gaming," retorted Hyson. "Why else do you think there are internet cafes?"

"Why?" asked Raelle in pure curiosity.

"So that youths can waste their time playing games," she heard another voice that definitely belonged to Shui Koshing. "Your husband used to ditch classes to waste his time in internet cafes."

"Really?" Raelle couldn't tell.

"It seems, Xian Ge had his moments," said Hyson. 

"Don't even mention it! I so wished to beat him back then but I could only ground him or stop his pocket money," Shui Koshing seemed to be complaining as he let out his grievances. "Yue Fai, did you also spend time in an internet cafe?"

Hyson grinned bashfully, "I've always been a good kid, Uncle Shing."

"Hyson has been so good Bà that it's a shame he hasn't received the good guy award by now," Raelle chimed in.
