I must admit: The expression "I must admit" is generally used to introduce an honest reaction or statement on the part of the speaker. For example: I must admit that your letter surprised me. The expression is not synonymous with "certainly".
at my disposal: The idiom "at my disposal" is used in a few different ways. Generally it refers to a person's capabilities or the options available to them.

Which of the following words could replace allegedly in the above sentence?
The terms "allegedly" and "certainly" are not synonyms. The word "certainly" means something is sure and without doubt. For example: Everest is certainly the highest mountain in the world.
This is correct. The terms "allegedly" and "supposedly" are synonyms. The word "allegedly" refers to something that is supposed but not proven. Example: There was allegedly a break-in last night but nobody saw it happening. Bruno is suggesting (with irony) that there is doubt about his status as boss if he is receiving customer service calls!
The terms "allegedly" and "reluctantly" are not synonyms. The word "reluctantly" means to do something in an unwilling manner (with reluctance). For example: He reluctantly went back to work after the holidays.
The terms "allegedly" and "legally" are not synonyms. The word "legally" means to do something "within the law" without "breaking the law". For example: At the age of 17 you are legally allowed to drive a car in the UK.
