Falling in Love : I love you, Today and Forever
Chapter 206 - Despicable ManUnknown to Joshua, as soon as he had hacked Tim's phone, somebody got an alert about it on her phone. Hearing the notification, the woman smiled victoriously. She had been typing non-stop on her laptop when she was disturbed. But it was a notification she had been waiting for long. So, she was not angry about being interrupted.
"I have been waiting for this day. Let's see who is the one who could hack this software and I hope it's the man I have in mind." The woman started to locate the IP address. But how many ever times she tried, she could not trace back to the person. However, she was not dejected. Instead, she was happy. The only person who could break through her encryption was Joshua. He was the best, even better than her.
Now that she could not track the device that had initiated the hacking, she confirmed without any doubt that it was him. She was clearly well versed with his style. He had his own way of handling things when it came to these matters. Even she who knew some coding could not do anything like him. She had tried to imitate his way many times, but it had not yielded any results. In doing so, she had given her opponents some loose ends. So, she had stopped trying to imitate him.
"Joshua, thank god it was you. Now that you have found out about Tim, I hope you could get to them faster." She wished out loud. "Please." She pushed the spectacles that were lying low on her nose and continued to type on her laptop. But she did not forget to send a message on her phone. "I hope everything goes well."
"Maggie," She heard someone call her and she looked up to see who it was. It was the man who was on her hate list. She despised him as he was the assistant to the man who she wanted to kill with her own hands. However, she did not show anything on her face. She was as calm as ever.
"Yes?"
"Come to the hall right now."
"Okay."
Maggie followed him to the hall and saw many of the other men in the gang standing in line waiting for someone. She did not have to guess who they were waiting for. It was the for the man whom she had vowed to destroy, Jared Augustus.
She stood quietly at the side while the other men gawked at her. She was one of the few females who were allowed to attend the meetings with Jared and this always irked them. They did not like the fact that a woman was held at a higher position compared to them. She was present at all meetings, even at those to which some of the men in the hall were not even allowed. This was a big blow to their egos.
Maggie sensed the glares from the men around. But she did not say a thing. She had been accustomed to it long ago since the time she had joined the Vipers. She sneered at the men much to their dismay. This agitated the men more and before they could get back at her, Jared arrived with his assistant.
He sat down on his usual throne like chair while everybody else stood in front of them silently. Even Maggie who was leaning against the wall stood straight as soon he had entered. He was wearing his mask as usual. So, nobody could see his face except his serpent like eyes which was clearly visible. Some of the men even did not know how he looked like and that he and the businessman Jared Augustus were one and the same. But Maggie was not among them. She knew who he was before she even joined the gang.
Jared ran his eyes across the hall, glancing at each and every person present before him. Maggie noticed that Jared's gaze lingered on her a little longer compared to everybody else.
"How is everyone?" Jared asked. Though he asked the question to them, he did allow them to give him a reply. He continued talking. "What a question to ask? I know everybody here is doing good. Am I right?"
Even if they had complaints, nobody had the guts to speak about it. The man in front of them was dangerous, crazy even. He would not hesitate to put a bullet through their heads if they spoke out of place. Anything and everything would trigger his craziness. So, nobody wanted to rake the risk.
"Yes, Master. We are fine." Everybody, except Maggie, answered in unison. Jared noticed her being silent and he smiled inwardly.
"Maggie, do you have something in mind?"
His voice startled her. Every time he called her by her name, she had the strong urge to punch him in the face or chop off his dick. But she hid it coolly, not showing her true emotions. It was not time yet to reveal her true self. She wanted revenge and she wanted it to be perfect. She had all the time in the world. So, Maggie did nothing reckless that could foil her plans.
"Yes, Master." She hated herself for calling him that. When she did so, she wanted to cut off her tongue. She hated herself all the more for doing something she loathed. But she had to do it. This was an order from her Deputy and her friend.
"What?"
"I was just wondering why we are being called for a meeting all of a sudden. Seeing that Master is in a good mood, I was under the assumption that we will be doing something exciting."
"Ah," Jared exclaimed loudly. "This is the reason I like you, Maggie. You know me so well." He laughed out loud, his laughter filled with wickedness. For a second, everybody in the room was scared of him. Even Maggie could not help but shiver.
"As Maggie said, I have a mission for you guys. Now that the news about the virus and David Peters has curbed a little, it is high time we execute our plan. We have already been delayed a lot. I cannot wait any longer."
Hearing his words, Maggie was thunderstruck. The previous time when he had planned the same thing, she had somehow managed to evade the disaster from taking place. Now that he was coming with the same plan again, what was she supposed to do? How was she going to tackle its situation?
"I have ordered for twelve canisters of the virus. It will be delivered to us shortly. Everybody be ready to get your orders. This time I am not going to trust anybody. Last time, my entire plan went down the drain for trusting that bastard of a Peters. This time, I'll handle everything and there will be no mistakes. Is everybody with me?"
"Yes, Master." Everybody, including Maggie, shouted. She did not want to be questioned again. So, she answered him. But her mind was filled with horrid thoughts and she could help but gulp in fear thinking what would happen if this lunatic's plan became a success. She had to inform her Deputy as soon as possible and stop him from creating havoc in the country when it was already at war.
Without another word, Jared stood up. His assistant helped him with his coat and in a blink, he was gone. Maggie did not wait for anybody, nor did she speak with anyone. She returned to her room in a hurry and locked the door.
Maggie stayed in one of the rooms in Jared's large hideout. Nobody was allowed inside her room except for Jared and his assistant and it was very rare for them to come there. So, she had no worries about them visiting her at abnormal times. Even if they did so, she had a backup plan that could save herself.
She picked her laptop and sent an encrypted message to her Deputy. It was important that the message went to her as soon as possible. 'Val, I hope you get my message and you can understand it.' She prayed in her mind. After the message was sent, she deleted all traces of it and flumped on the chair. She removed her spectacles and massaged her forehead.
Since the time she had started working for Jared, she had been getting nightmares of her getting caught. Though she was not afraid of death or of being caught by Jared, she did not want to be careless as she still had a lot of work to do. She had to extract details of his all wicked plans from him. So, Maggie had to keep her guards up all the time.
This was a case her Deputy had trusted her with and she had to do everything to keep herself alive. Nobody other than Valarie knew where she was. Even Ryder did not know about her secret mission. Everybody had assumed that she had gone on a world tour as she had always wanted to after leaving her job. Thinking about Ryder brought a small smile on her face. She remembered his stern face whenever she involved herself in dangerous missions and the next moment her smile became wide. 'I wonder what he would think when he finds out how dangerous my current mission is?'
Barely five minutes had passed since she had sent the message. She got a reply. 'Got it, Margaret. Will start working on it. You please take care of yourself.'
