The Doormat Wife’s Ultimate Glow-Up novel Chapter 337

Reese stopped in her tracks and turned around, but instead of looking at Sofia, her eyes went straight to Bailey.

“Where’s the development lab? I want to see if your platform can actually run Blade.”

Sofia’s face went pale with anger at Reese’s cold tone, but when Bailey gave her a look, she had no choice but to walk over and gesture down the hallway. “This way. I’ll show you.”

Matthew trailed after them, a subtle smile tugging at his lips as he watched Reese’s confident stride.

The lab was spotless, filled with rows of computers and several techs huddled around a central workstation. Sofia walked right up to the main console, grabbed the mouse, and clicked through a few windows until a cascade of code filled the screen. Clearing her throat, she started her pitch. “Matthew, this is the platform we built at Vista Tech. We’ve already tweaked it several times for Blade’s specs. There shouldn’t be any issues.”

“That’s not for you to decide,” Matthew replied, pulling a USB drive from his pocket. “This has a partial build of Blade’s system. Let’s see if it works.”

“Of course.” Sofia took the drive, plugged it in, and launched the program. Her fingers flew over the keyboard as she set everything up.

A progress bar appeared, steadily rising. Sofia gave a confident smile. “See? I told you it’d work.”

Her smile barely had time to settle before it froze. The progress bar stalled at fifty percent, then a red error message flashed across the screen.

Warning: Insufficient system resources. Unable to run program.

Warning: Data mismatch. Integration failed.

Sofia’s back broke out in a cold sweat. She frantically started typing, but nothing changed. The error message stayed put, and the progress bar didn’t budge.

Reese ignored all the chatter. She stepped up to the computer and started typing, focused and fast.

A few minutes later, she stopped and pointed to a line of code on the screen, her voice calm. “Here’s your problem. The logic in this algorithm is off. It’s causing the system resources to be allocated unevenly. That’s why Blade can’t run.”

She pointed again. “And this protocol doesn’t match up with Blade’s core module. That’s what’s triggering the error.”

The lab went silent. The other techs leaned in to look at the screen, and recognition dawned on their faces.

“That’s it! That’s exactly the issue!”

“We’ve been debugging this for days and never caught it. No wonder she works in Blade. Incredible!”
