Chapter 59- The Real Mastermind
“ What did you see?" My boss asked as she turned to look at me. It wasn't something much but it was something.
" It's nothing much,” I said.
" Show me,” she commanded and I passed my phone to her and she looked at it wondering what information I was talking about.
I bent my head and I took the phone from her to show her what I was talking about.
" Look very closely, it's so hard to see if you don't look very closely,” I said and she turned to me with a glare.
" Mr Smith, do I look like I have all the time I'm the world?” She asked.
" Sorry ma'am,” I said as I decided to point out what I was referring to.
“ So look at this," I said as I pointed to the screen.
“ Just as the door was closed the hand of the hoodie went up and if you notice you'll see this person has one finger missing and then there's a tattoo of an alligator on the same finger, zoom in you'll see,” I said and she zoomed my screen to get a clear view of what I was saying.
“ I see what you're saying but Mr Smith, how does this help?" She asked and I couldn't help but look at her in confusion.
Was she dumb or something?
“ Mr Smith, I'm not dumb I asked you a question because I want to know," she said. My face must have exposed me because I know I couldn't have said those words out loud.
“ What I'm trying to say is that this person could either work in the hotel and with this tattoo we'll be able to find this person," I said.
" What if the person is no longer with the emerald eye and has sold it or something?” Was this woman trying to annoy me with useless questions?
Of course if we find out whoever that person is he or she would provide whoever the real mastermind that is behind everything.
“ If we get one person we get others that are involved," I said.
“ Hmm" she hummed.
“ Take care of the everything, you can go now," she said and I was about to take my phone from her when a message popped up.
‘ I miss you’ the message read and I knew my boss saw it because my phone was right in front of her. These women wouldn't leave me alone.
Perks of being a hot man.
She quickly took her eyes off my screen like she hadn't seen the message already as I took my phone and put it inside my pocket.
“ I'll be in my office," I said as I walked out of her office.
I walked back to my office as I quickly called the private investigator.
“ Hello, I finally found something after looking at the CCTV clip so many times," I said.
" What did you find?” He asked.
" If you look closely you'll find out that the person in the video has one finger missing and a tattoo on the finger, an alligator,” I said.
" I didn't notice something like that, how did you see it?” He asked.
" It just happened, just watch it again you'll see what I'm talking about, then you can take over from there,” I said.
" Thank you for the information, I'll look into it.” He said.
" Keep me updated,” I said.
" I will, enjoy the rest of your day,” he said.
" You too,” I said before I ended the call.
At least we were getting somewhere.

ARIANA'S POV
I felt very lightheaded, like I had been drinking all day instead of working.
I rubbed my eyes trying to relieve them of the pain I was feeling there.
I did a good job of clouding my mind with work and I could say that I got a lot of work done but now that I was exhausted everything came crashing down on me.
I didn't know where grandpa was.
I wouldn't go home and meet him in his study or in his game room playing video games.
I felt my eyes burn with tears but I tried to blink them back.
We've talked about this Ariana, be strong for your grandpa and mother, even my Dad wouldn't be happy if he knew I was like this instead of being strong.
So once again I took deep breaths and pushed them all in.
Now was not the time to cry.
I couldn't help but laugh when I thought about how my grandpa used to trick me to stop crying when I was little.
He'd say; ‘ You're too beautiful and crying doesn't look good on you’ and then he'd tickle me.
I miss him, it's not even up to day without him and I miss him already.
I'll make sure that whoever that person is that kidnapped him would get a taste of their own medicine.
How could he ruin my grandpa's happy day and get away with it? I'll make him or her suffer.
It's a promise I'm willing to go through with.
And I needed to have a serious talk with our security team in the mansion, I've not really been in the right frame of mind to do that. They can't tell me that they didn't notice anything out of the ordinary that day.
At least the criminals must have made a mistake or something.
And they can't tell me that the whole CCTV footage was tampered with and they knew nothing about it. Someone was about to get fired.
I turned my eyes on my computer as I got back to work.
It was when the screen was beginning to blur in front of me that I realized it was time to stop.
I shutdown my computer as I stretched my hands and then slowly got up but I quickly held my table for support when it seemed like the world was spinning.
What the heck?!
When my head calmed down and it didn't feel like I would pass out I took my jacket and wore it as I carried my bag and started walking to the door.
But just as I reached the door my vision blurred and I tried to reach out for something but there was nothing and the next thing I knew I was heading to the floor as darkness covered me.
