While she was in the elevator, the sound of her phone made a sound showing she got a new notification so she went through her phone and she saw a message from mr Logan. His house address "if only he knows when not to disturb someone". The elevator door opens as she slowly walk of it, she saw a lot of people laughing, carrying thier system from one desk to other asking questions, while some where just focus on thier system, some doing some paper works.
She been in the front desk for almost three years but these faces looks unfamiliar. They are like the second gods in the company. This department is litrally one of the respected department in the company, their skills in the computer section is really a great one. Anything base on media, hacking, getting information that has been hidden for years, coding, programming, these are their features.
"Miss Layla" a slim, beautiful lady who was on glasses handed her a cup of coffee and smiled at her. Layla took it "thank you, I did not realize someone would know my name here". She sip from the coffee "Am Steph, litrally everyone knows you, you work at the front desk and now mr Logan, so we will definitely be seeing you more often".
She smiled they know her but she have not seen thier faces before "do you all pass through the main entrance". Steph smiled and nod "we pass through the lobby ". She now get the reason why thier faces are not familiar. "Am looking for Mike". The lady pointed to an empty desk "that is his table there and " as she look around for where Mike could possibly be"and there he is, always playing" she laugh out.
She really has a wonderful smile "Thanks again for the coffee". Layla headed toward where Mike was, he was actually disturbing the others from working. "Mike" she try tapping him and he slowly turn around "oh Layla" he came down from the table he was sitting and the guy who Mike was actually disturbing looked at her and smile "thanks Layla don't make he come back here".
He went back to his desk and offer her a chair "Everyone here seems to know me ". She took the chair and sat down while Mike sat down and started operating on the system. "You were one friendly receptionist, no one ever stop talking about you, and now you work directly from Mr Logan". Then he stood up and went to the printer and brought out what he printed "we have been praying so you won't get kicked out, I guess our prayers are actually working".
He smiled at her and drop what he printed out on the table "I guess am really popular ". He showed her a picture "this is Mr Allen, one popular man for selling illegal stuff and doing illegal activities, laundering of money, killing and other sort of things, if I was giving more time I would have find out more, opening different account with helpless people names, fraud and lot more, you really don't want to know ".
Layla brought out her phone "I found some details too can you help me print it out". She gave him the phone and went through the document that was given to her "I wonder why he want details about him as she kept looking and another picture came out "actually because of this lady". Mike pointed at the lady in the picture.
Layla look at the picture, it was a lady and Mr Allen having a handshake and the other was when Mr Allen was standing behind the lady. "I won't give you this copies, he already know about them". Before she could say anything Mike took the pictures of the man and lady from her. "But why " Mike brought another picture of the lady and Mr Allen having lunch together and gave it to her "this is better, he can have this one".
He stood up and went to the printer and came back "who is the lady". He went through the document he printed from Layla phone as he sat on the chair . "is not my business to tell and either ways is also not your business to know".Layla knew he was hiding something which she was not sure of and she really did not care, but who ever that lady was, she was about to cause a very big problem. "Wow where did you get this information, it a lot and where detailed am sure the person use years going on searching about this, the person really dig deep". He smiled gaving her an envelope.
"A friend of mine who is a news reporter gave them to me". He handed back her phone to her "where ever she got those infomation was really deep, I barely found just this in two days and it really not even worth it"
"Thank you" she took her phone back from Mike. Mike decided to see her out " He is really a scary man and deadly, he is the davil himself both you and your friend should take care and be careful ". When they got to the elevator tgey waited for it to open "don't get involved with this case, let Mr Logan deal with it himself, he sure know how to protect himself ".
When the elevator open she walk in and waved her hand to mike and the door close Before she left the IT department she already booked a ride, so not long before she got out of the building, her ride was already waiting for her. She got in and show the driver the address and they both left and the drive was peaceful and quiet, just the sound of the music from the radio was heard. She relaxed and slowly close her eyes.
After what was like 30 minutes the ride finally came to an end she paid the driver and went to the giant gate looking at her. From what she saw it was like this was the only house around here maybe the next house will be around ten kilometers. She stood at the gate closely observing it but she seem not to see any building. She tried opening the gate but it could not open. She tried pushing the gate but it was not a success the gate was still locked. She called Mr Logan countless time but he did not answer the call. Or was she in the wrong address.
Then a truck came toward the gate and she turn around finally having hope. It was Mr Logan's driver. "miss Layla" she finally had hope, she was in the right place "am here to see Mr Logan but the gate is not opening ". He smiled then came down from the truck and went to the gate "you can press this button "he press the button and the gate automatically open "or face the right direction facing that camera" he pointed to one little camera "and the gate will open ".
"All this drama for just a gate" he smiled and went back to the truck "I can give you a ride tho". She was about into insist "I can just use my legs to walk in". He laugh "it is definitely not so close to walk to". Looking at his face and then she look through the gate, she saw no building, just how far was the building". She got into the truck and he started driving into the compound "I am his butler also".
Layla wonder why he saw his driver here and now that was the reason "and you can call me Mr louis". She nodded and after a five minutes drive she finally saw a building, a huge and delicate building. The outside view looks so welcoming, how then will the inside look. She got down from the truck and was admiring the house "Thank you Mr louis".
The house was really nice and the environment was peaceful quiet "Mr Logan would be inside". She held the file in her hand and walk into the building. She gasp for air as her mouth was left opening, inside was even more beautiful than the outside. He definitely has a good taste. She stood in the middle of the sitting room which was really huge and she turn around admiring the place.
"You would definitely not stand there with your mouth open for so long" it was Mr Logan he was on a robe and he went back to where he was coming from. Immediately Layla ran to follow him. When she got at the entrance, the aroma that hit her was the cooking of something really nice. As she walk into the kitchen which also has a big space and she saw Logan on the counter cutting some carrot "you can cook".
She walk to the other end and notice he was cooking some rice and chicken sauce. He did not pay attention or even raise his head to look at her "is it a crime for a guy to cook". Definitely not a crime but it felt a little embarrassing that the whole almighty Logan can cook and she can't even prepare noodles just pasta which she learnt from her dad.
"It quite surprising because I can't cook". Logan raise his head. "You cant prepare anything". He look at her and smiled, this was actually the first time she is seeing him smiling. "I can prepare pasta and just that". She went to sit down at the chair opposite of the counter and monitor what he was doing.
She wished she could eat because she was really hungry and she just had chicken and a coffee. Her phone rang it was Thea after talking with her she went back to looking at what Logan was doing. "join me and eat". She was not expecting Mr Logan to ask her to join him "sir I really have a place to be right now and " Logan took the tray of food to the dinning to set the table " I won't disturb your beach party, just eat with me, I feel bad having to cook and you are here and not have a single taste of it".
She wanted to insist but Logan already push out the chair for her to sit. He serve her and went to sit down to eat. Immediately she took a spoonful of rice and the chicken sauce, she felt she was in an expensive restaurant, how was he so good at cooking. While they both ate, there was no single noise after eating, she claer the table and decided to wash the dishes.
Logan did not complain, after she was done with the dishes she gave the file to mr Logan. "Mr Allen is not someone to joke with". She stood behind in where he was sitted as Logan went through the files. "He does illegal activities and kills people and the police has not find a reasonable evidence to put him behind bars.
"He fold his hands after seeing the picture between Mr Allen and a lady"what was she up to this time around". He murmured to himself. " we have a mini meeting party to attend tomorrow night, dress presentable, I will send you the details". She nodded and get her bag "I will be leaving now sir". Logan did not turn around, he just left her there and climb upstair.
When she got out, she realizes she has no way of going back to the gate "someone with out no car can't get in here ".
Immediately she saw Mr Louis watering the garden and ask for a ride. Immediately she got to the gate she saw Thea car out and she ran and enter into the car. " Who lives in a this kind of hidden gestures". Thea looks around "just few houses are located here thank God for the map".
They both laugh and drive away to the music they were vibing to. Layla open the window of the car and brought her head out "finally". She shouted.
