She decided to buy a new laptop because she couldn’t continue doing her job without it. Before she could get there though, she got a call from a man asking if she was Daisy. It was Nihad, a fellow passenger on the tube, who had seen her name on her laptop screen, googled her, found her LinkedIn profile and wanted to return the laptop. When she offered to repay him for his help, he said he didn’t need anything. He also complimented Morris’ startup and wished her luck with it.
