JASMINE’S POV
I stared at the men Louis had hired. As I assessed them, I felt that this would be enough to raid Kolton’s place. Then I looked down at the guns in their hands and turned to look at Louis, who had a gun ready as well.
"I’m sure you understand why we have to take these measures," Louis told me as he presented me with the gun in his hand.
I nodded my head in understanding.
"Yeah, I get it," he said to him. Hopefully, things wouldn’t get to the point of actually having to use the guns. But we had to take precautions and ensure that we were prepared.
"What about work? Will you be able to take a break from work?" I asked.
"Don’t worry about it. I have it handled at least for today and tomorrow," he told me.
"Father?" I asked, a little confused, why he necessarily needed to communicate with his father.
"Yes. Oh, right, I forgot to tell you. My father has made me the acting CEO of the Carrington Group."
"What?" I asked him in surprise. "Louis, this is amazing! But how? What happened to your brother?" I asked. I was surprised by this. It seems so much had happened when I was at Keith’s estate.
"Well, let’s just say it’s thanks to you."
"Me?"
"But I’ll explain on the way," Louis told me. "Let’s go before Keith gets here," Louis said.
"Yeah, he’s definitely going to come here," I told him. "That means we might bump into him if we return here," I said nervously.
"I’m not sure if we’ll return here, but I’ll for now let’s just focus on Tony," he told me.
I nodded my head in agreement.
He turned away from me and made to leave the foyer of his apartment.
" Louis, wait," I said, then grabbed his arm.
"What’s wrong?" He asked me as he turned to face me.
"Thank you, Louis, for all of this," I said to him gratefully. He was taking away time from work. He could get in trouble, and then he had prepared so much in advance to look for Tony.
I wished I had started the investigation with him instead of Keith. I felt so supported and seen.
"I want to do this, so don’t worry about it. Let’s find Tony," he told me before he squeezed my arm and gave me a reassuring smile.
He then turned away from me and took my hand as we walked out of his apartment. We had spent just over an hour in his apartment planning how we were going to break into Kolton’s house.
We went down to the garage, where Louis let me into his blue Chevy that was waiting for us. Louis’s men followed us to the garage as well. Behind the Chevy were several black vehicles that they would be using.
We got in the cars and drove off in the vehicles.
It took us about half an hour until we arrived in the neighborhood where Kolton’s mother’s house was.
"Now we have to figure out how to get inside," I said.
