You saved me

Part 1

One Monday morning Nathalie had come into work a bit early to get some of her  admin done before she started receiving the daily load of emails from irritating suppliers or customers, she would usually even have an extra cup of coffee to prepare herself for the unpleasant early morning customer who would be demanding first pick from the new line and of course this customer was none other than Chloé bourgeois herself.

Just as Nathalie had finished the company's financial spreadsheets, there was a ring at the door. Nathalie wasn't informed by Gabriel or any one of the staff that there were going to be any deliveries or anyone stopping by for that matter, but non the less she had answered the bell and the recipient on the other end had replied that they were one of the suppliers that had come to drop off some specific sample fabrics that were called for by none other than Gabriel agreste and had to be delivered straight to him by the company.

Nathalie didn't know how comfortable she felt about a supplier coming into the mansion and handing Gabriel some sample fabrics, she thought if it was that important he would have told her about it, but she didn't question it any further and opened the big iron gates and walked to the large wooden doors to escort the supplier through to her bosses office.

When she had opened the main doors to the house she had looked at the so called supplier and thought he had looked rather familiar, but Nathalie just wanted to get him out of there as soon as possible and so she had just brushed the thought off and carried on walking through her office.

Just before they entered the long corridor  outside of Gabriel's atelier leading to his private studio the supplier had lunged forward and pushed Nathalie into the wall whilst dropping the box of "fabric"

"Sir! What is the meaning of this? If you do not mind I would like it if you could please remove yourself off of me and drop off the fabric and leave at once!" Nathalie had said with shock echoing throughout her voice.

"And what if I do mind, my sweet little Nathalie" said the supplier

Nathalie looked up into the face of this supplier and soon felt her whole body freeze up as she felt a ton of bad memories from high school starting to flood back into her head.

FLASHBACK
  It was Nathalies last year of high school and she had just started a relationship with one of the hottest and most popular guys in school, his name was Cameron. He was the most caring and most compassionate boyfriend Nathalie had had yet, they were so happy together throughout the year and supported everything the other did that once they had graduated they had bought an apartment to share.

They had been living together for over 8 months and they were both very happy with their relationship, until one week Cameron had started coming home later than Nathalie had thought was normal and she had started to suspect that he was cheating.

And on one night she had decided to confront him about it and that conversation had turned upside down very quickly, and had turned into a shouting match and then suddenly Cameron had lost it and raised his hand and had slapped Nathalie across the face causing her to feel dizzy and at that he had taken advantage of her semi-conscious state to lock her up in the closet so that she wouldn't call the police or break up with him.

The next morning Nathalie had woken up feeling uncomfortable and hungry, she had banged on the closet door for hours calling and shouting for Cameron and saying she apologized and didn't mean anything she had said, until the door she was banging on fell away and she stumbled out onto the carpet.

In front of her were two men who were dressed in police uniform and in one of the men's arms was Cameron with his hands behind his back and an angry look plastered over his face.

She was told that one of the neighbors had heard all of her shouting this morning and had called the police who had now decided to take Cameron to court and file a case for harassment.
——————————————
Nathalies look of horror morphed into a look of great and utter fright, she realized that he must of found out that she worked for Gabriel and disguised himself as a supplier to get to her. At this sudden realization Nathalie became furious

"Get out"

"No, I want to start again with you Nat, I miss you so much, please come back to me"

"Get out! Or I'm calling the police!" Nathalie had shouted with a mix of fright and frustration.

After Nathalie had dragged Cameron out of the mansion and kicked him out onto the street, Gabriel had met her at her desk with a look of concern on his face.

"Nathalie, are you alright, I heard shouting. What happened?"

" don't worry it was Nothing sir I was on the phone with my brother, he can sometimes be a bit troublesome"

"Oh alright, I see. But If something is wrong you know you can always come and talk to me."

"Thank you sir" said Nathalie on her way out to his studio to go and grab a file she was missing.

But little did she know, she had left her phone face up on her desk with her ringer on and on full volume.

A few minutes later her phone started to vibrate frantically. Gabriel had started to get a bit annoyed, and so he walked over to turn it off.

Once he had reached her desk his eyes glanced over all of the messages from a guy called Cameron Clark,which mostly read out...
- please Nat, you can't do this to me
-I want you back
-I love and miss you
-I didn't mean to hurt you
and 13 consecutive missed calls filling up her home screen.

Gabriel was furious, he suddenly realized that's what all of the shouting must have been from. He suddenly became curious over who this guy was and tried to do a bit of a background check on him. He found out that he went to the same high school as Nathalie and he has now currently been fired from 6 jobs, all because of harassment to his colleagues.

Gabriel felt a bit of sympathy towards Nathalie, but before he could confront her about the situation he had felt a very strong pulse of negative emotion.
