Husband you've abandoned me Fine I'll focus on raising my son novel Chapter 79

Chapter 79: Investigative hats on

JASMINE’S POV

I left Louis’ office feeling lightheaded and blushing wildly from embarrassment. What was wrong with me? I asked myself.

Why was I checking out his body like some pervert? I recalled glancing at the muscular body underneath his shirt as well as the way it felt when it was pressed into mine against the bookshelf.

Louis was my dear childhood friend who was helping me. The last thing I wanted was to make this weird for him. Also, I was six years older than him. He probably saw me as an older sister the same way I should see him as a younger brother. I was also single mother why would he want someone with ’baggage’?

From my bridal training I was told it was important for me to be a virgin and child-free because men considered a single mother to be someone with baggage. Personally, I had no problem being a single mother, Tony is the best thing that ever happened to me. I wouldn’t change a thing. If that meant I was going to have a hard time finding a partner, so be it.

Not to mention I saw Louis was going to get married to a beautiful woman around his age and child-free.

I felt myself calm down as I internalized the obvious reality of the situation.

Just act as you always did with Keith; respectful and knowing my place.

Back in my room, I put down the files down on my bed and began to go through them. I had taken more than I needed to because of the additional folders I had dropped whilst picking the files up. As Louis had said I might have a hard time understanding the technical language being used in the documents. The internet was free, however, so I was willing to do the research I needed to.

I received a response from Rebecca

’Hi Jasmine, what do you want to ask about the Garden House?’

’I want to ask if Andrew Gatwick had done anything inappropriate to you during your time working at the restaurant.’

’I don’t want to talk about it. In fact I have nothing to say.’

That made no sense. So it was just as Megan and Mike had said, Andrew Gatwick had done something to her. She was afraid I thought to myself. I would have to have to get her to trust me.

’I understand if you are afraid. Perhaps you’re worried about threats that were made to you. I want to assure you that I am a representative of the CEO investigating Mr Gatwick." I lied to her. Technically it wasn’t actually a lie. I was with literally with the CEO.

"The CEO?"

"Yes, he is conducting an investigation on Mr Gatwick unbeknownst to him. I promise you won’t get in trouble I just want to ask you some questions over some concerning things he’s heard he has done," I told her.

I said I was going to use the advantage I had of being in contact with Louis.

For a while I didn’t receive a text back from Rebecca. I thought to myself she probably doesn’t want to chat to me.
