Chapter 91: An arrest

JASMINES POV

I opened my eyes and found Louis holding Andrew’s arm.

"Louis," I said his name in surprise.

"Mr Gatwick what exactly is going on here?" Louis asked furiously.

"Mr Acland!" Gatwick said his name in horror. "What are you doing here?"

"That’s not how one should react to their boss arriving is it?" he asked as he continued holding onto Gatwicks arm.

Louis then turned to me for a moment.

"Are you alright?" he asked me in a gentle tone, the anger leaving him for a moment. I was taken aback by how his mood quickly shifted.

I nodded my head. "Yeah, I’m fine," I replied. Now that you’re here I wanted to add. He had such impeccable timing.

He then turned to Gatwick once more. "Let me ask you again, what is going on here?" he asked.

"It’s not what it looks like," he stated.

"And that is?" he asked him. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

"That bitc—woman set me up!" he yelled as he pointed at me with his free arm.

Something seemed to switch for Louis, whose pupils dilated in anger at Gatwick’s words.

He then forcefully pushed Gatwick with the arm he held onto. Gatwick groaned and fell backward landing hard on the floor.

"Set you up for what exactly?" Louis asked even angrier. His aura was frightening as he towered over Gatwick like he was going beat him to a bloody pulp. Even I felt a little intimidated by him in this moment.

"Sir," Gatwick cowered in fear. His whole body was trembling.

"From what I saw you lunged at her whilst she was simply standing there. No one set you up to do that," he told him. His voice was cold and frightening.

"I—I didn’t mean any of it, sir" he begged. I almost felt sorry for Gatwick but then I recalled how he’d treated all his victims. He never cared for the fear they felt.

"You told me to come here, explain to me what’s going on," Louis then asked me.

I cleared my throat and stepped forward. "Andrew Gatwick has been abusing his power as the chief of staff of the restaurant. He has been exhibiting inappropriate behavior with several young female employees for a while and has been threatening anyone who tries to report it," I told him.

Louis’ pupils widened in shock upong hearing this. "Is that so?" he then asked as he turned to Gatwick still seated on the office floor.

"Sir, that’s just hearsay you can’t believe anything she’s saying!" he said.

" So you swear that if I look into this I will find you to be innocent" Louis asked anger laced in his voice.

Megan winced from the reprimanding. "I’m sorry, guys" she apologized and he rolled his eyes. "Honestly, I really fucked up. Literally my actions were about to get me, you and the manager fired. If it weren’t for you Jasmine and the CEO..." she trailed of.

"About that," Mike started as his gaze shifted to me. "The CEO mentioned that you called for him, Jasmine."

"Yes, I did," I answered. Right, how was I going to explain this to them? I asked myself.

"How did you get in contact with him? In fact, who were those bodyguards you came in with?" he went on to ask the questions I knew he would ask.

"Yeah," Megan chimed in.

"Well—" I started as they both curiously looked at me. " It’s a bit complicated."

"Jasmine, Let’s go," I suddenly heard a familiar voice say to me.

I looked up and found Louis standing by the table edge. I hadn’t noticed him come to the table.

"Okay," I replied to him. I then turned to Mike and Megan once more who were looking at Louis and I in shock. I’m sure they were wondering why we knew each other.

"I promise I’ll explain everything to you guys soon. Take care." I gave them my final words before standing up and walking away with Louis.

"I can’t believe all this was happening behind my back," Louis said in disbelief as we walked out of the restaurant. "He’s an experienced well-accomplished man who my family chose for the job. I thought he would do his job only to find out all this. I should have done a better job of checking on the restaurant."
