After She's Terminal The Alpha Regrets (Elaine and Lucas) novel Chapter 125

Chapter 125

The glass doors provided an easy view of the receptionist counter inside.

Because of what happened yesterday, surely Elaine wouldn’t be here. And none of her employees would recongnize her. It was the perfect opportunity for her to get inside.

She waited until the receptionist was busy with some guy who’d walked in. He looked like a rogue, didn have any distinct pack scent.

Then she made her move.

Ayla went right in through the front doors, going straight for the hallway. No one called her out. Good.

She kept walking, keeping her glasses on as she read the signs above each door. There had to be something incriminating behind one of them.

There!

A storeroom.

Ayla bet that’s where they kept all the foundation’s important information. But when she tried the door, it wouldn’t budge. She jerked the handle. Nothing,

A huff of pure frustration escaped her. Then footsteps from inside the room. Ayla quickly stepped backward, hiding behind a plant as the door opened.

Nancy stepped out, talking briskly on the phone.

Ayla hurried forward once Nancy’s back was turned and caught the door before it closed. She slipped inside.

Stairs led downward, so down she went. Into the lower levels of the foundation. And to the jackpot of information. A room filled with shelves brimming with boxes. Dozens and dozens of boxes…

“You’ve got to be kidding me,” Ayla muttered as she stepped inside, turning a circle around herself. There was no way she was going to be looking through all of these.

Then she spotted one labeled ‘Finacial Report Q1‘. It was as good as anything else. She pulled the box down, letting it drop on the floor before thumbing through the pages. That’s when she found it. The printed record of Lucas‘ donation.

One hundred thousand dollars.

Though there was no name associated with it. Anonymous. Ayla found another report for spending, nearly a hundred thousand. Yet it didn’t state where the money went. She hummed softly to herself.

She could use these.

She folded the pages and tucked them away before hurrying out of the storeroom. Back up the stairs. Down the hall.
