Chapter 816 - Take care of him (1/2)

~ Golden Ocean Resort ~

6:38 AM

Bridgette crawled over Steve in order to reach her phone.

”Yes…”, she drowsily answered when she saw that it's a call from the resort's main line.

Bridgette listened to the man for few seconds, and suddenly was wide awake. ”What? … I will be there in fifteen minutes!”

She scrambled out of the bed and rushed to the bathroom to get ready.

”What happened?”, Steve asked when he got into the bathroom.

Bridgette was brushing her teeth with rapid strokes.

”Someone raised a complaint about a sexual assault. Last night…”, Bridgette huffed with mouth full of foam, and it made part of it fly on the mirror in front of her. ”Oh, Anna just left and it's already a mess.”

”You can handle it.”, Steve encouraged her. He took the comb and helped her brush her hair.

7:09 AM

In the resort owner's office, Bridgette is listening to Mr. Turner.

”I'm sorry for your unpleasant experience, Mr. Turner. I can assure you that we will investigate thoroughly what happened last night. We have video surveillance in all hallways, and we will start with that. Do you have any clues who assaulted your daughter?”

Mr. Turner nodded. ”Aiden White.”

Bridgette dropped the pen from her hand. ”Who?”

…

7:27 AM

”Miss Martin, what is with the wait?”, Mr. Turner was impatient. He was pacing through the office for some time.

”Resort staff is retrieving the footage from last night as we speak. There was a lot of people, they are making sure that the right clip is sent over. Please, be patient.”, Bridgette responded while her eyes didn't leave her laptop screen.

The door of the office opened, and Bridgette exhaled in relief. Reinforcements arrived, and now she does not need to deal with this messy situation by herself.

Mr. Turner turned toward the door and all color drained from his face.

Elanor gave a reassuring nod to Bridgette and took a seat on the sofa without paying attention to Mr. Turner.

The door opened again, and Stella entered.

Elanor and Stella exchanged silent greetings before Stella sat next to Elanor.

Mr. Turner looked at Elanor and took him some time before he found his voice. ”Mrs. White… what brings you here?”

Elanor's face was expressionless when she faced him. ”My daughter-in-law owns the resort. It is normal that in case of an emergency when she is not available I am one of the contacts. Especially when someone accuses one of my sons of sexual assault.”
