Kicked Out I Unlocked My Ultimate Boss Mode novel Chapter 104

104 The difference in our dreams.

Leilani,

I hate to say this but I didn’t return to the restaurant. I didn’t go back for Maya because for some reason, the longer I stayed away from the restaurant, the stronger my resolution to not be in any form of close relationship with Gavin became.

About forty-five minutes after I left, Maya texted to say she was taking an Uber home, but I didn’t believe her. I also didn’t try to push it, so I went back home and buried myself in my work.

About two hours into my job with rest, I finally got a call from an unsaved number. Cautiously, I picked it up, brought the phone to my ear and waited.

The first time this happened, it turned out to be my mother on the phone, and right now, I wasn’t ready for new surprises.

“Leilani?” A familiar feminine voice called out softly, sounding almost like they were whispering, and as soon as I heard it, I stilled. My hand clutching my phone froze, and for some reason, my heart began to frantically beat against my chest.

I drawled; “Agnes, I told you not to call me until you find something important—”

“But I did find something important!” She snapped quickly, catching my already spiked curiosity. She sighed. “I just found out that the cameras around your father’s house haven’t been changed or repaired in years. And it’s probably never been checked before.” She said, and as soon as I heard that, my heart leaped into my throat.

I nearly set the phone down due to excitement, but after managing to school my emotions in check, I rasped; “Are you sure?”

“Yes, I asked Bill.” She answered with sass. “He’s the head security guard… and don’t ask why I was able to get him to talk. You don’t need to know that we tumble around sheets sometimes.”

“Ewww!” I gasped, shrinking my nose. “TMI!”

“I’m so sorry!” She cried, “…I guess I just wanted to let you know I didn’t go sniffing the wrong stuff in the wrong way. That I didn’t ask anyone I wasn’t supposed to… I’ve been pretty discreet about it all too.”

I rolled my eyes at her words, but after realising that she obviously couldn’t see me,

fixed my face and drawled; “Thank you… and please; Keep being discreet.”

“Sure.”

“Now, what you’ll do for me is easy.” I said softly, calmly. Like someone trying to lure a baby to sleep. “How close are you to Bill?”

“We’re pretty close. We’ve seen each other’s nakedness.”

My face coloured. “Besides fucking each other, how close are you both?”

“Close enough to know that he has mommy issues, and that he likes it when I tickle his balls.”

Now, I was more disgusted than curious. My face scrunched up into a deep frown- one that I fixed by closing my eyes and counting from one to ten- before I peeled my eyes open and pinched the bridge of my nose.

I sighed. “Please I want something more significant, Agnes. If you ask him to do something for you, will he?”

“Oh, of course he would! He’s been hit by Ms Chalice several times for standing up for me,”

I gasped, my mouth forming an O-shape before a sure small smile spread across my lips. “Then tell him that you need to get your hands on the hard drive… and Agnes?”

“Ma’am?”

“Never mention my name.”

“Oh, I don’t even know your name anymore, Kristi!” She sassed. “I’m sure it was Kristi, but now I don’t know if it is Amy or Clara!” She said, chuckling.

It was nice to see that she still had her humour intact, but due to how severe this situation was, I couldn’t bring myself to laugh.

“Also ma’am,” she cut in carefully, her voice dropping a few notches and from how I could clearly hear her sudden pants, I knew she was about to ask something. Something I may find uncomfortable.

So I braced myself. I asked; “What?”

“Why do you need it?”

“Huh?”

“Why do you need the hard drive of the CCTV cameras in your father’s house?”

Her question made me go silent for a few seconds. And usually, even though I’d expected that at some point she would ask me that, hearing her say it now made me more than a little uncomfortable.

I shrugged. “That’s for me to know and for you not to,” I said softly. “So just get me the damn hard drive, okay?”

“Okay…” she murmured quietly. “…it may be difficult to do that seamlessly but I’ll try. And I’ll talk to Bill today.”

After giving her a few more instructions, I ended the call and dropped my phone, my heart racing at the thought of what was to happen.

And girlll, I couldn’t wait.

I couldn’t wait to have my hands on that footage.

It was the final touch of evidence I needed before going toe to toe with Chalice at the law court. It was exactly what I needed to ensure that she crashes and burns.

And I’d make sure of that.

Chalice.

I clutched my phone and purse tightly in my pale hands as I walked through the fancy hotel lobby. When I arrived at the reception, a pretty blonde girl smiled at me, her face dazzling as she asked;

“Hello Madame, what can we do for you today?”

Her sweet voice grated against my ear, and maybe it was due to the color of her hair, but she vaguely reminded me of Leilani.

I frowned. “I’m here to see Mr Louis Hawthorne. What’s his room number please?”

“Is Mr Hawthorne expecting you?” She asked, and for a brief moment, my mind wandered to the sexy pink lingerie I had underneath all the layers of my clothing.

I nodded. “Yes, we have an appointment.”

She smiled at me then, and I watched silently as she clicked on a few buttons in her computer. To be sure, she called his room to ask if he was expecting any-
