Chapter 8 - Rebecca Grows Increasingly Suspicious Of Missing Corporate Files
Saturday morning sunlight pierced through the heavy velvet drapes of the Winnetka master bedroom, illuminating dust motes.
Rebecca sat up in bed, rubbing her eyes before rolling over to find Daniel already dressed in an expensive suit.
“You’re leaving early again?” Rebecca complained, pulling the silk sheets up around her bare shoulders.
“I have to meet with the senior auditors at the downtown office,” Daniel said, adjusting his cufflinks in the mirror.
“Have you figured out why the main server password won’t accept my administrative override yet?” she asked sharply.
Daniel stopped moving, turning around with a frown furrowing his brow as he looked down at his mistress.
“What do you mean? You said you cleared the administrative block days ago,” Daniel said defensively.
“I tried accessing the 2018 land acquisition archive last night, and the system locked me out with a level-four security lockdown,” Rebecca admitted.
Daniel walked over to the edge of the bed, his expression turning dark and suspicious as he processed her words.
“Nobody should have level-four lockdown access except Victoria herself,” Daniel muttered under his breath.
“Could she have set up a secondary vault before... you know... the crash?” Rebecca suggested nervously.
“If she did, I’m going to find it and wipe it clean before the probate board audits the accounts on Monday,” Daniel vowed.
