Chapter 85- Shocking Call
“She was there to steal but she didn't get away with it this time, and because she's a big time criminal and has been wanted by the police for a long time now, I don't think the Chicago authorities would release her which means if you want to see her you'd have to go to Chicago,” he said.
“ Oh, that is good to hear, we're going to go there as soon as we can, she'd have to confess who she gave it to," I said.
“ Yes," he said.
“ So did you find anything concerning Mr Miller or the black van, anything that could show that everything was all staged?" I asked.
" I'm sorry but I'm still on that but as soon as I have any information I'll let you know,” he said.
“ Okay, thank you, do have a nice day," I said before I ended the call.
I quickly took my things as I walked out of my office to my boss's office, she was already walking out of her door when I reached there.
“ Is there a problem Mr Smith, you look rather, I don't know disturbed?" She asked.
“ I got a call this morning about the emerald eye," I said.
“ What did they say?" She asked.
“ They finally have her but she's in Chicago and they don't plan on releasing her to the authorities here which means we'd have to fly to Chicago." I said.
" That's something Hardin, now that they have her she'll confess who she gave it to and we'll be able to get it back,” she said as a smile took over her lips. I'm glad that she was happy even if we haven't recovered the emerald eye back but we had hope.
“ Let's go for the meeting, we don't want to keep them waiting," she said and I nodded as we both walked into the elevator.
The meeting soon concluded and we both walked out of the meeting room to continue our day, we had other things that needed our attention.
We walked out of the company as we got into the car and then I drove us to where we would be picking a dress.
When we reached the boutique, I stopped the car as I got out and before I could turn to the other side, my boss already opened the car door and walked out. Usually she waits for me to do that for her.
At least she's becoming less bossy.
We walked into the boutique together and as soon as she entered she was greeted by the manager. I found out that this is one of her favorite clothing stores where she gets almost all her clothes.
“ Hello, Miss Miller, so nice to see you again,” she said as she kissed my boss's cheeks and then she turned to me.
" Mr Smith,” I said as I stretched my hands out and she took it with a smile. I knew there were many questions going through her mind so I decided to clear her confusion.
" I'm Miss Miller's assistant so please give her the best dress you have,” I said and the lady nodded making an ‘ow’ sound.
“ Come with me, I'll show you our latest collection," she said and we nodded before we followed her as she took us to a private section and then my boss sat down and I just stood beside her.
“ Hardin," she called as she tapped the space beside the couch… “ don't stand, you're not my bodyguard," she said and I nodded before I sat beside her.
Soon dresses after dresses were brought to her for her to make her choice, some on a hanger while others were on a mannequin for her to pick the one she would be going with.
She tried a few but rejected almost all the dresses they brought to her. I really don't know what she was looking for.
“ I haven't seen what I want Lauren," she said as she shook her head when another dress was brought and they returned it.
“ I think I know just what you might like," the manager suddenly said as she snapped her finger before disappearing to go bring whatever it is she wanted to bring.
Some minutes later she brought what looked like a mannequin that was covered.
“ Believe me you're going to love this dress," she said before she slowly removed what was covering the mannequin and I heard my boss gasp.
“ Oh my God Lauren why the hell didn't you show me this first?” She asked as she got from where she was seated on the couch and went to look at the dress closer.
“ I knew you were going to like it," the manager said and I tried my best not to roll my eyes. She knew she was going to like the dress yet she refused to bring it out, especially when she knew how my boss cannot be easily satisfied.
“ We'll take this," my boss said as she ran her fingers on the black shiny dress. It had a lot of black stones so the dress was basically shining. I just know it would be all glitter at the fashion show.
“ Should I have it delivered to your resident or you'll take it now?" The manager asked.
“ I'm taking it now, I'm not leaving this place without the dress," she said.
" Alright, as you wish, once again I'm going to say thank you for always trusting us,” The manager said as she handed the dress to one of the girls to go package it.
" Yeah, just try to bring the best first next time,” my boss said.
" I'm sorry about that Miss Miller," she apologized as we made payments and then we started making our way to the exit, but just as we reached the exit my boss stopped as she turned to me.
“ Hardin, wouldn't you like to get something for yourself too?" She asked but I shook my head.
" I have a lot of clothes I'm yet to even unwrap, I'll get something to wear,” I said and she looked at me like I was weird. I had a feeling she also had clothes she had never touched but women never miss the opportunity to shop.
“ Oh, okay," she said before we both walked out of the boutique.
I opened the car door for her and she got in but as I was about to close the door, my phone started ringing. Knowing it might be an important call, I quickly picked up the call.
The news I got wasn't something I prepared myself for.
It was shocking.
