They Hated Me in My First Life, But Now I Have the Love System -
Chapter 247 - 247 Stupid Girl
Chapter 247: Stupid Girl Chapter 247: Stupid Girl Evelyn’s expression, which had been twisted with worry, was now calm, too calm.
And then, a confident smile crept onto her face.
Lady Chineye, still watching everything unfold, felt her stomach churn.
Something wasn’t right.
Something was very, very wrong.
“Damn it!” Nnenna cursed under her breath, something she rarely did.
But the situation was too frustrating.
Realizing what she had just muttered, she quickly bit her lip and muttered an apology.
It wasn’t a good thing to say, private or public, but this was a disaster.
Her phone had died.
The battery was dead.
Completely.
She felt like slapping herself.
How could she have forgotten to charge it before coming out?
She had been in a rush.
And since her phone’s battery was usually durable, she never really had to worry about charging it often.
But today, of all days, she had completely forgotten.
Now what am I supposed to do?
she thought, her heart pounding.
She briefly considered running to borrow a charger, but, the crowd was growing impatient.
People were already whispering.
Suspicion was creeping back into their eyes.
From the corner of her eye, she saw the manager’s face darken.
This was bad.
Just when the manager opened her mouth to speak, no doubt ready to rebuke her harshly for wasting their time, Nnenna blurted out the first solution that came to mind.
“Can I borrow a charger?
Does anybody have a Type C charger?” Evelyn “…” The Crowd “…” Lady Chineye “…” The entire room fell silent for a split second.
Then, waves of laughter exploded through the crowd.
People clutched their stomachs, shaking their heads, finding this entire situation hilarious.
“After all that suspense, this is what we get?” someone scoffed.
“I swear, this girl just loves drama!” another laughed.
Even some of the staff exchanged amused glances, while others shook their heads in disbelief.
But in the middle of it all, Nnenna stayed calm.
She had been in tight spots before.
And she knew one thing, panic never helps.
So instead of flinching at their laughter, she raised her chin and looked around.
“Well?” she asked again, this time louder.
“Does anybody have a Type C charger?” The laughter slowly died down.
And then, the real question began creeping into their minds.
Was she really telling the truth?
Or was this another one of her games?
But for the first time that day, Evelyn wasn’t laughing.
She wasn’t smirking.
She wasn’t even breathing properly.
Because she knew, if that phone turned back on, it might all be over.
Fortunately, no one was in the mood to lend the girl a charger.
The manager’s expression darkened.
So this was what all the fuss was about?
A dead phone?
She had doubted her judgement, almost made a public spectacle, all because of this girl’s baseless confidence.
Unbelievable.
The laughter from the crowd had started to die down, but the mockery remained in their eyes.
Even the security officers looked annoyed now.
The staff members exchanged glances, some shaking their heads, others outright murmuring about Nnenna.
Was she playing games?
Did she just enjoy attention?
The manager sighed heavily, pinching the bridge of her nose.
She was definitely firing this girl after today.
Meanwhile, Nnenna physically fist pumped.
But it wasn’t out of excitement, it was frustration.
She knew it.
She just made things worse by asking for a charger.
She had been so sure, so confident, so determined to expose Evelyn, and now she looked like a fool.
What do I do now?
she groaned internally, feeling a rare sense of helplessness.
And that was when the love system spoke up.
“You do realize that I can charge your phone, right?” Nnenna froze.
Wait.
Wait.
She had a system.
A freaking system.
How did she forget?!
Forgotten love system “…” The system remained silent, but Nnenna could practically feel its judgment.
Nnenna cleared her throat.
“Ahem.
Well, how much does it cost?” “50 good points for 50% battery.
100 good points for 100%.” Nnenna “…” Her face fell.
“You know I don’t have that much, so why even say it?” “Just doing my job.” Nnenna rolled her eyes.
“What about 15 good points?” She remembered she had earned a tiny amount of good points before, so maybe “That can get you 15% battery.” That was better than nothing.
She nodded.
“Fine.
Charge me up.
15% is enough to expose this backstabber.” And just like that, her phone flickered to life showing a charging sign.
The crowd, who had been watching her weird dilemma like it was a comedy show, immediately fell silent.
Ho-how?
They wondered.
They saw the phone screen light up.
The manager, who had been mentally preparing to fire Nnenna, paused.
The security officers straightened up.
Even Evelyn’s face visibly drained of color.
For the first time since the entire incident began, people started taking Nnenna seriously again.
And Evelyn had a feeling, her time was up.
Ding!
“15 good points deducted to charge your phone to 15%.
Balance is now zero, by the way.” The system’s voice had a hint of warning.
But Nnenna wasn’t shaken.
Zero good points?
So what?
She still had weeks before she needed to renew her life, and that was more than enough time to earn more points.
At this moment, she had bigger things to focus on.
The crowd watched with thinly veiled impatience.
Some had their arms crossed.
Some tapped their feet.
Some whispered to each other, clearly doubting that this girl had anything useful to show.
The manager was fully done with her.
Nnenna’s confidence had been entertaining at first, but now?
It was just wasting time.
She didn’t even wait for Nnenna to start talking.
Instead, she turned to the security guards and motioned to them.
“Continue what you were doing.” Meaning, take Lady Chineye away.
Nnenna’s voice rang out immediately.
“Ah, it’s done charging!
Now, for the evidence.” Her tone was so confident that even the manager hesitated.
The security guards stopped mid step.
Done charging?
How?
