Chapter 81: Rebecca’s Nightmare

After almost 10 minutes of waiting Rebecca texted that she was in the cafe. I got up from the table to look for her. Once she came to view my arms raised to signal to her where I was. I recognized her from the pictures on her stargram. A look of recognition appeared on her face once she caught sight of me. I assumed she recognized me from my stargram as well.

"Rebecca pleasure to meet you," I greeted and shook her hand once she arrived. I then had us sit down at the table.

I then signaled for the waiter to come serve us. I told Rebecca to feel free to order anything she wanted as it was on me. I took a cappuccino and she took some matcha drink.

"Thank you for taking the time to meet with me," I said to her.

"You said you work with the CEO of the restaurant?" she asked me as she looked me up and down. I made sure to dress extremely professional and smartly to look the part I also had a notebook open and held my pen.

A small cough escaped my mouth, recalling my lie from last night. "Yes," I told her. I then reached into my pocket took out a business card I had put together and printed the night before. I took inspiration from Louis’ business card that I had seen lying in his home.

"What sparked the investigation?" she then asked me.

"Well, we’ve been hearing whispers of incidents that have occurred concerning Mr Gatwick. However, no one has ever come forward. It’s why the CEO began an investigation to find out if it’s true," I explained.

Her eyes softened at this information.

"No one comes forward because that man threatens," she said. "I never imagined that the company would ever be aware though. Why did you reach out to me specificallyly? Why on Stargram? I never told anyone anything."

I had to quickly come up with some explanation.

"I’m sure you have a lot of questions about this and I completely understand. You see this investigation is being kept tight-lipped. Mr Gatwick has no knowledge an investigation is being conducted on him because we first want to confirm the facts. I contacted you on Stargram because I thought it would be less likely to be found out by him compared to if I contacted you through more formal means. I mean we both work with the CEO after all," I quickly came up with a lie.

If I couldn’t convince her I worked closely with Louis she wouldn’t talk to me.

"As for why I reached out to you specifically. From the rumors we’ve heard Gatwick typically targets young female workers. Across all the restaurants you’re the recent youngest female worker to quit or leave the job."

Now this fact was actually true. From the files I had gone through last night she was the most recent young female worker to either quit or leave the job.

She processed my answer and then slowly nodded in acceptance. "Okay," she replied.

"Now I didn’t know if anything had happened to you but from your response last night when I contacted you, you confirmed that something had happened." I went on.

Her lip quivered and she nodded her head.
