Chapter 1286
Raeleigh raised her hand and keyed in a string of numbers. Santiagoughed. "It seems that
Lamarre trusts you very much."
"I''m his apprentice. Of course, he trusts me."
Raeleigh didn''t really have anything else to say. With that, she pushed the door open and went in.
As there was no one inside, Raeleigh knew that Lamarre wouldn''te back here anymore. He
had made it very clear that he wouldn''t being back ever again. After all, he had handed in his
resignation letter.
Raeleigh walked inside and stared at Lamarre''s chair. There was a hint of mncholy in her heart.
She was just an intern, so how could she sit there?
Driven by intense pressure, she couldn''t bear all this responsibility.
After staring at it for a while, Raeleigh walked around the room. She touched the chair her master
had sat on for numerous times and plopped down as well.
A momentter, she switched on theputer and picked up the phone to call Lamarre.
In the meantime, Lamarre was on his way to the airport with several other people. He never
expected Santiago to be so tough. After forcing him to resign the day before, he had sent some
people over to help him pack and drive him to the airport that morning. In a sh, they had packed
up his luggage and sent him off.
Lamarre had met all kinds of people in his life and finally understood something. Jepherson was no
match for someone like Santiago.
Originally, he wanted to alert Jepherson, but he didn''t expect Santiago to move so quickly. It was
impossible to do anything nor drop a warning for Jepherson.
Lamarre was also very surprised to receive a call from Raeleigh, but...
"What''s the matter? Why are you calling me so early? Don''t you know I need my rest?"
Lamarre''s voice sounded indifferent. Raeleigh could tell that there was something wrong with him.
"Master, we agreed that I could look for you if there is something I don''t understand. Have you
forgotten?"
"I didn''t, but I''ve just bought a ticket for a vacation trip. What do you have to ask me about? Just do
it yourself. Wait, just ask Santiago about it. He understands things better than I do."
Raeleigh looked at Santiago who was sitting idly in front of her and sighed, "He''s still a kid."
With his back towards Raeleigh, Santiago was dressed in a jade-green down overcoat, blue jeans,
and white sneakers. Raeleigh thought that if it weren''t for the fact that he looked like a pixie, he
wouldn''t have the air of one. However, in the end, Santiago did look better than everyone else. It
was unlikely that anyone in thepany would look more ethereal than himi.
Santiago paused for a moment before looking up and staring at the ceiling. His eyes moved about
before finally fixing themselves on the ground. He walked about leisurely. From time to time, he
would stop and reach out to fiddle with something.
Raeleigh thought that Santiago hadn''t heard anything. Even if he did, there was nothing to worry
about.
"A child? He''s smarter than me and his IQ is double that of a genius. You say he''s a child but is he
in a lower position than you are? Is there anything he doesn''t understand that you do?"
Lamarre said this with a bemused face, "If you''re asking for help, just ask him. I will be the first to
hold him ountable if anything goes wrong. Although I would have arranged this sooner orter, I
didn''t mean to have you take over so soon.
That''s why I''ve decided to hand you over to Santiago from now on. If anything happens, he will be
the main person responsible."
After saying this, Raeleigh moved her cellphone away from Santiago. Lamarre was sounding as
though he was about to go to war.
She took a deep breath and continued, "But there''s always something that needs to be dealt with.
For example, you should tell him what you are doing right now. Even though he is an expert in his
field, it is impossible for him to always know everything."
"I''ve prepared a document and ced it in my mailbox. You can open it. The password to my
mailbox is my ID number. You know it, right?"
Lamarre remembered that Raeleigh had taken note of his ID number before. She gave it some
thought and said, "I do."
"Once you''ve opened it, search for a document that was prepared at six o''clock this morning. You
can download it and store it on theputer. Everything you need to know is inside, and there are
some private things that I''ve left for you as well. You should take a look if you have the time. It will
be very helpful for you."

"I am no longer your mentor and I have nothing left to teach you. Just listen to Santiago. Don''t get
hurt by others and just do your best." "Wait! So will you not be using this mailbox anymore?"
"Are you kidding? What am I left with if you decided to take over my mailbox?"
Lamarre burst out inughter. This silly apprentice of his was really worried about him leaving.
"I see. I''ll logout the minute after I download those documents you told me about."
"That''s more like it... By the way, save the information I''m leaving for you in your own USB drive.
There are some things in there that will help you. Don''t share it with anyone else."
"After you log out of my mailbox, reformat my entireputer and wipe out all of the data left on it.
I''ve made a copy of the important documents I have and will send it to youter."
"Thepany''sputer is usually connected to thepany''s main server, but mine is an
exception."
"And remember to bring your ownptop to work and bring it home daily after work."
Lamarre gave Raeleigh very thorough advice and was very thoughtful for Raeleigh''s sake. It felt as
though she would never see him again.
"Master, you..."
"Pass the phone over to him. I have something to say," Lamarre wasn''t willing to show his affection
for her. Since he was already a dead man, he decided not to leave things unresolved.
Raeleigh froze for a moment and did as he asked. Santiago turned around and looked at Raeleigh''s
teary eyes as he chuckled, "Ohe on, you don''t need to cry over this."
Raeleigh sniffled and gave the phone to Santiago, who walked to the other end of her new desk and
sat down. Then, he took the phone and lowered his head, muttering, "What''s the matter?"
Lamarre seemed to have said something, prompting Santiago to reply after some thought, "I
understand."
After a while, he asked Lamarre, "Is there something else you need to say?"
It seemed that Raeleigh was expecting something.
Instead, the call ended. Lamarre had hung up.
With that, Raeleigh was greatly disappointed.
Santiago gave the phone to Raeleigh and tapped theputer while rubbing his chin. He
shrugged, "Normally, you''d have a meeting at nine o''clock. It''s eight o''clock right now. Go get your
things."
Raeleigh didn''t hesitate at all as she wanted to see all the things Lamarre left her.
She then began to scroll through all the information after sessfully logging into Lamarre''s
mailbox. However, Santiago urged her to retrieve the information he had left behind. Thus, Raeleigh
first sent the information to Santiago''s mobile phone before reformatting theputer.
Santiago ced his phone and his hands in his pockets. He asked, "Do you really trust me that
much?"
Raeleigh said while she worked on theputer, "Who else would I trust if not you?"
"Are you sure? I might just sell you out."
Raeleigh was amused but didn''t say anything.
Just then, someone knocked on the door, "Mr. Lee, we should have our meeting."
In a sh, Raeleigh looked up. Santiago raised his chin, hinting for her to answer.
"I''ming."
When the people outside the door heard Raeleigh, they remembered that she was Lammare''s
prized apprentice. Thus, they left without saying anything.
After they left, Raeleigh looked at Santiago and asked, "What should I do now?"
