Husband you've abandoned me Fine I'll focus on raising my son novel Chapter 101

Chapter 101: Old workplace

JASMINES’ POV

When it was time for me to clock out at 5:30 I went to see Louis in his office.

"Okay so I rescheduled your meeting on Wednesday for Thursday afternoon so it won’t clash with you preparing for the event," I informed him.

"Sounds good," he said.

"What’s this fundraising event even about?" I asked him. I’d never heard of it before this, so this must be the first time it’s happened. It wasn’t a recurring event like the annual Acland party.

Before Louis could answer and explain the event I then said.

"You know what I’ll see when we go."

"No, you’re not coming with me for this one," He told me matter-of-factly.

"Why?" I asked him.

"Because you don’t have to," he told me.

I was literally going to accompany him to most of his meetings this week. I wondered why there was suddenly an issue.

I contemplated for a bit confused as I thought of the event. I imagined it was a big event with lots of socialites who would be attending. And if that was the case...

"Is Keith going to be there?" I then asked.

"Yes," he slowly replied.

Now it all made sense. "I see," I replied. I wouldn’t want to bump into Keith after our last encounter. I recalled hechad yet to follow up on my divorce request.

"I just want to prevent any incidents from occurring ," Louis told me.

I let out a sigh. He was right about that but there was also another issue.

"If anything I’m also worried for you as well. Last time you two were staring at each other like you were going to fight.

I promise I won’t do anything," Louis answered a little too quickly.

My eyes narrowed in suspicion. That man was lying to me I knew it.

"But anyway on Wednesday you’re going to see your old coworkers, how do you feel about that?" he changed the subject. I shook my head at this.

On Wednesday I had to do a follow up on some of the restaurants including the one I used to worked for.

I was looking forward to it since I was going to see Megan, Mike and the manager again. Have a conversation with them about everything.

"I’m looking forward to it," I answered him.

When we arrived home I greeted Tony who was already home. We had dinner I spent some time with Tony afterward before he went to bed.

When I retired to my room for the night I checked my phone and saw a message on my Stargram. It was from Rebecca. Excited I opened it.

"Jasmine, I just wanted to say thank you so much for everything! The restaurant’s HR reached out to me and say they will be helping me testify against Gatwick and even said I will receive compensation for the situation! Thank you so much!"

A wide smile was on my face as I read the message. I was so happy things had worked out for us.

I then recalled the email from the clinic I had received and decided to send my brother the message even if he refused to respond I would just try.

Once my message was sent I then continued to go through the files I’d borrowed from Louis to continue learning about the company. I also continued researching and studying finance and management to better understand and be more adept at work.

The following day at work I continued working on the paperwork I had to do and Ms Deepak handed me more that I had to deal with. I received a response from my brother.

"Jasmine considering the situation you’re in that is the last thing I expected you to contact me for," his response read. ’Shouldn’t you be more focused on your husband? How will accessing mothers health documents help?’

My brother to my knowledge, had no idea I had left Keith, filed for divorce and was staying with Louis Carrington. Neither did I plan on telling him. We rarely ever talked. It’s like we were strangers. Whilst my brother didn’t abuse me like my father, he did cosign my father’s treatment of me. He never challenged it.

’Please I really need your approval for the document access.’ I messaged him back .
