Chapter 206 At 5 a.m. the next morning, Elliot‘s phone vibrated. He had received a text message.
It was not until two hours later that he woke up and saw the message from Chad.
(Sir, according to Mike, he‘s an expert hacker.)
(He‘s gay.)
(I‘d like to take the day off, Sir.)
Elliot‘s brows furrowed as he read the three messages.
How did Chad manage to find out this much crucial information in the span of a night?
Mike was not someone who was easy to deal with.
He would not simply reveal personal details to a stranger for no reason.
At that thought, Elliot dialed Chad‘s number.
“Chad, how did you get all that information from Mike?”
Chad remained silent for two seconds, then said with a hint of exhaustion in his voice, “I was drinking with him last night. He told me after a few drinks.”
“That‘s it?”
“Yes. Also, I had too much to drink, so I‘d like to take the day off.”
“Okay. Stay home and get some rest.”
Chad‘s eyes were red at the end of the phone call.
No one would believe what happened to him the night before.
He had no plans to talk about it, anyway.
It was too humiliating.
At eight in the morning at Starry River Villa, Avery was getting ready to take the children to school.
“Didn‘t Uncle Mike come home last night, Mommy?” Layla asked with her backpack on her back and a curious expression on her face. “I checked his room and he wasn’t there!”
Avery had called Mike at 11 p.m. the night before.
I hope
“He probably had too much to drink and ended up staying at a hotel,” Avery answered. “Don’t worry about him. He‘ll be fine.”
Avery found her daughter‘s words both laughable and infuriating.
