My (Un)Real Friend

She is Weird

Now he is kinda having second thoughts about it. But his doubt is completely gone when he looks into the transparent manager's office.

I'll make you happy Mrs. Willow

No!

Nora, I promise I will make you happy

I swear with all my blood, and gut and ....

His Trevio phone is vibrating, disrupting his daydreaming. He pulls the phone out of his pocket and looks at the screen. Agnes is there.

She can just show up? I didn't even accept the call

She is wearing a blue t-shirt with a cartoon image on it. Somehow she manages to drastically change her hairstyle from a long straight blonde into a red pixie bob. She looks like a teenager now.

"Oh wow, nice haircut there. Kinda radical change though," Dillard comments.

"Well thank you for noticing. By the way, no daydreaming at work."

Dillard is a bit confused. "What? Wait how do you know?"

"Duh, I hacked the CCTV in front of you."

"Oh wow, you can do that?" he reacts in awe.

"Piece of cake really. The WIFI system in your workplace still uses archaic WEP protocol," she explains. "You can recommend upgrading to at least WPA2 protocol to Mrs. Willow if you wanna score some cool points." She gives Dillard a wink.

Dillard smiles in reaction. "What about hacking a smartphone though?" he then asked.

Agnes suspiciously stares at him. "Ha! You think I don't know what you are planning."

"Hey! I'm not going to do something bad. Just curious," Dillard argues, trying to defend himself.

Agnes pauses. She seems to be pondering whether she should tell him or not.

"Blueborne vulnerability," she finally says. "Security loophole in Bluetooth protocol pre-2018. It allowed hackers to gain full access including the front camera to any unpatched Bluetooth devices."

"Oh shit, Am I vulnerable too?" Dillard's face shows concern.

"Your smartphone is new right? So nope."

"Okay cool." He breaths out a subtle sigh of relief.

"Pssst! Your supervisor is looking at you," Agnes suddenly whispers.

Ah, Shit!
