Chapter 84 - Ch. 84 The Creepy Stalker
The moment Declan saw a familiar-looking feature on his tablet, he directly took action at his company the next day.
He was the founder of a security and technology company that controlled almost all electronic objects. To track someone or look for something through CCTV cameras on each street was not difficult.
Declan checked CCTV cameras at shopping malls around Kaylee's apartment and the girl's studio building.
While he was picking up Kaylee and escorting the girl home, Declan noticed someone's figure. At that time, he didn't think about it because he thought the person was just an ordinary walker or happened to live in the girl's residential area.
Moreover, the distance between the studio and Kaylee's apartment was very close. It only takes fifteen minutes on foot. Thus, it was not surprising to see the same people walking around the studio area or Kaylee's house.
Besides, Kaylee lived as an ordinary girl and stay low as the girl wasn't an attention-seeker type. Therefore, it was unlikely for someone to target her.
But it was unusual that this person appeared when Kaylee went to the shopping mall or wherever Declan took the girl out on a date.
This annoying stalker wore a hat to cover his face so that he couldn't see the face. But his posture couldn't fool Declan's eagle eyes.
Declan called one of his assistants, and soon a slender woman with light golden blonde hair with brown eyes entered his room.
"Yes, Mr. Black?"
"Ask Hawk to reach my second line."
"Yes, sir."
It didn't take long before the small light on his office desk phone came on. Declan pressed a button without glancing at the phone and began speaking with an authoritative tone.
"I had sent you a recording video. I need you to check out this person."
"Okay."
"Do it in ten minutes."
"Easy."
Declan was still looking at other recorded videos to find out when this person has been stalking Kaylee secretly while waiting for news from Hawk.
Precisely ten minutes later, a notification from his computer appeared indicating Hawk had finished researching and sent an email.
Without waiting anymore, Declan opened the report's results and saw the face of his fiancee's stalker. To his utter surprise, this creepy stalker is working inside the Kaylee studio building?
Isn't that even more dangerous?
At the same time, Wendy Larson and Danielle arrived at Kaylee's studio building and called Osbert to the office on the third floor.
Osbert was an orphan and started working in this place last year when Kaylee met him accidentally on the side of the road. Kaylee felt sympathy for him and decided to give him a job at her place until the young man found another better job.
However, after one year had passed, instead of looking for a better job, the young man did not want to quit his current job even though Wendy and Danielle often pressured him without Kaylee's knowledge.
'That guy is dangerous, Wendy. You have to get rid of him right now before it's too late. I won't be able to protect her if that stalker attacks her.'
Wendy recalled the conversation when she met the 'girl' two nights ago.
The 'girl' had often told her to persuade Kaylee to fire Osbert, but Kaylee was too naive and kind-hearted to have the heart to kick him out.
Kaylee always said she needed a good reason to fire her employee, and Wendy didn't have the proof that Osbert was bad news for the innocent girl.
Wendy and Danielle joined hands to think of a way to get Osbert out of his own accord, but their attempts always fail.
The moment Osbert entered the room with a downcast gaze, Wendy smiled sarcastically inwardly. If other people saw them at this time, everyone would think Wendy and Danielle were some bitches who were bullying weak people like Osbert.
If only Kaylee were here, they were sure that girl would also think the same and defend this young man rather than her own best friend.
They could only get this chance when Kaylee didn't come to this place and was on campus. They decided to end this stalker's evil intention toward Kaylee today.
This was one of the main reasons why Wendy tricked the innocent girl into disguising herself as Nicholas to go to campus. If Kaylee was too busy with her college assignments, she won't come to the studio too often and meet this pretentious dangerous man.
"Osbert, you don't need to work here from today on. You're fired."
The young man still lowered his face as if he did not dare look into Wendy's sharp and firm eyes. But Wendy and Dani knew very well. This creepy stalker wasn't afraid of them at all.
Their guesses were correct when the young man lifted his head and looked straight at Wendy fearlessly.
"My boss is Miss Roe. As long as she doesn't say that I was fired directly, I'll still work here."
Dani had expected this, and she knew that Wendy was doing her best to remain patient so as not to punch him in the face. Dani thought she could be patient and proud enough for it. But the moment she saw the man's crooked smile that seemed to be mocking them, her patience reached its limit.
"We do not need to wait for her presence because we are sure Miss Roe will put you in prison." was the cold, indifferent tone from the friendly-looking Danielle.
Wendy even felt the hairs of her neck stand up at the cold tone that her best friend's assistant's chilly demeanor.
Danielle picked up a white tablet and searched for a video before playing it to show Osbert.
The hidden camera recorded Osbert entering an elevator and using an access card that he shouldn't have to get to the fifth floor. Afterward, the video showed how Osbert entered Kaylee's private room secretly and took a small object that Kaylee would never have noticed.
Seeing this recorded video made Osbert frown in displeasure. Since when were cameras installed around the fifth floor and in elevators?
He was sure there weren't any cameras when he got into the elevator or sneaked into Kaylee's private room.
"You have two choices. One, leave this place quietly and never come back. Two, we will submit this video to the police and hand you to the authority. Your choice."
Wendy glanced at Dani in surprise. Why did this girl give Osbert an easy choice? If Osbert chose the first option, didn't that mean they would let the young man roaming freely outside? They would never know when the stalker would harm Kaylee or kidnap her to satiate his sexual desire.
Even though she was confused and wanted to protest, Wendy remained silent and let Dani take over. After all, they both know that Danielle was not just an assistant.
"What is your answer?" came the deep ice-like tone from the assistant.
"One. I will go willingly."
"Good answer. Let's hope you never get in jail, Mr. Osbert, because once you do, you will know what the hell is like."
At first, Osbert didn't especially pay attention to Danielle, who he thought was just an ordinary assistant who couldn't do anything. The target of his hateful gaze was Wendy because it was that girl who repeatedly searched for his weaknesses to make excuses to fire him.
But after their interaction, he realized… the person who held the absolute authority was Danielle. The girl's aura seemed stronger than Wendy Larson's, as if he was dealing with a lioness.
If only he had dealt with Wendy, Osbert believed he could win this 'game.' He could kidnap Wendy, beat her, and invited all homeless beggars to rape her so that she wouldn't have the face to bother him.
Just like Kaylee, Osbert also stalked this girl and knows what her weaknesses are. Unfortunately, he miscalculated his plan and never thought that his real enemy would be Danielle.
This girl barely showed up and only came here when Miss Roe meets her client. Danielle always smiled and showed the impression that she was defenseless yet firm in following the existing schedule.
But now, the girl was not smiling and looked like a mother beast protecting her cub from other predators.
If he wants revenge, he has to find out about Danielle and get her out of here.
Without saying much, Osbert decided to step down and resign from his job.
After making sure the creepy stalker left the building, Wendy asked Dani.
"What do you think?"
"He will target me. He plans to find my weaknesses and get rid of me from here."
"What? Are you going to be okay?"
Dani showed Wendy her usual smile and said, "I'll be fine. I'm not hired as miss Kaylee's assistant for nothing. Mister Zouch wanted me to protect her and that I will do it with all my life."
The assistant girl took her tablet when she heard a bell-like notification sound.
'Interesting.. Mister Black is starting to notice that stalker's presence.'
