He didn't have a password lock and his computer booted up real quick. Her heart was racing in no time.
She took a deep breath, plugged in the USB into the computer and logged into her social media account.
After a successful login, she quickly sent the document over to her schoolmate.
Everything went surprisingly smooth, and t
he document was successfully sent out before twelve.
Every extra second she stayed, she felt panic. Her fingers, gripping the mouse, shook uncontrollably when she was shutting down the computer and accidentally clicked on a random folder. The folder popped open out of the blue.
Her eyes widened, taking a curious look at the content of the folder.
Five minutes later, she walked out of the study.
Lacey breathed a sigh of relief, "See, I told you. The boss isn't coming back that soon, right?"
Violette was feeling all sorts of emotions, feeling like she had stumbled upon Elijah's secret.
She was somewhat regretful for using his computer, "Lacey, is there a camera in his study?"
"No. But there's one outside the study." Lacey said.
Violette went pale, "Then he'll definitely know I went into his study."
"Just explain to him when he gets back. I checked the time, you only used less than ten minutes. He shouldn't be that mad." Lacey tried to comfort her.
Meanwhile, her phone dinged.
Violette picked up her phone and saw a notification for a money transfer.
Her classmate had transferred five hundred to her. She didn't expect the reward to be that high. She made five hundred dollars in just two hours!
The money eased her anxiety for a bit.
She didn't mean to use his computer or to look into his files.
When he got back, she would explain everything to him, hoping he wouldn't get mad.
After all, she had agreed to divorce him. Once they were divorced, they would never see each other again.
His secrets had nothing to do with her anymore.
After lunch, Violette went back to her room and closed the door.
She sat in front of her vanity, looking down at her belly, whispering, "Baby, mommy doesn't want to let you go either. But if you were born, your life might be harder than mine right now..."
Maybe it was because of her pregnancy, she fell asleep on her desk in no time.
In the afternoon, there were hurried footsteps outside her room.
Violette woke up in a start.
Before she could fully regain her consciousness, the door to her room was pushed open.
"Madam, did you touch any of the files in the boss's computer?" Lacey asked her with a shocked expression.
Violette's heart started to race, "He... Is he back? Did he find out?"
The urgency in Lacey's voice was palpable, "Weren't you just sending a document? The boss just said you touched his other files. He's in the study right now, furious. Madam, I really can't help you this time."
Violette's heart was pounding.
There was only one thought in her mind: she was screwed!
Now she might not even need to think about the divorce, because he might just lash out at her directly.
