Husband you've abandoned me Fine I'll focus on raising my son novel Chapter 60

Chapter 60: A meeting that can’t be avoided

"No, not yet anyway. For the past few months he’s been awkwardly flirting with me and being suggestive towards me whenever he comes. However, I have a feeling his advances will get worse with time," she explained. "Imagine my surprise coming out of the bathroom and bumping into him."

"I’m so sorry, you’ve had to go through that," I told her. Mike continued to comfort her and caress her with his arm around her.

"I swear he’s been harassing me more often ever since Rebecca left," she said.

"Yeah," Mike said in agreement as he thought about it.

"Who’s Rebecca?" I asked them. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

"She’s the waitress who used to work here whom you replaced," Mike informed me.

"She started working here a year before Mark and I. She’s a college student like us, around 21 years old. Gatwick would always target her when he came to the restaurant. It got to the point where even the manager would try to have her out of sight whenever Gatwick came," she explained.

"Apparently, she.....now we don’t know if it’s true. She never told us anything," Megan explained.

"Tell me," I encouraged her to go though she wasn’t sure.

But we think Mr Gatwick did something to her that made her quit working here," Megan said. "A few months ago, there’s a time Gatwick came to the restaurant. We didn’t see Rebecca for a while who had been on shift. When we saw her again she came running out of the staff area crying and immediately left the restaurant. The next day she didn’t come to work and the manager said she had resigned."

My eyes widened in horror at the story. "Oh my god," I said in disbelief. Though they said they didn’t know if anything had happened. It wasn’t hard filling in the blanks that Gatwick must have done something horrible to her.

"Again we’re not sure since she didn’t speak to anyone after the incident but it certainly looks like something had happened, I believe it," Mike said.

"And there’s nothing you can do about it? You said the manager is aware of the issue, perhaps he can tell the CEO, right? " I asked.

"The man’s practically untouchable. He works with the CEO and everything that gets to the CEO first goes through him. He can threaten anyone who tries to tell on him. I’m sure if one of victims tried to sue him with more money and power his victims would lose. Even the manager is powerless. The manager just does his best to prevent incidents. He’s been trying to avoid hiring younger female employees."

So that explains part of the reason I was hired. Reminded me of Diana I thought to myself. He threatens anyone who stands in his way.

"It’s probably why the manager was frantically looking for Gatwick just now. He was probably worried he was up to something." Mike said.
