“Viola please tell the security guard we’re seeing Mr. Tai about the case.” Haruka speak impatiently.
“Armitage you should understand art of being patient and besides we are early for our appointment,” Shizuru calmly spoke back.
“Geez Viola how you able disregard the important of justice since people have lost their jobs due one of employees embezzle money from the company.” Haruka was talking at Shizuru.
“I understand you very passionate about the case seeing justice for workers don’t have their 401k anymore but we’re representing the company and also you and I are corporate attorneys in civil case fighting for restore people’s dignities and self-respect and faith within the company,” Shizuru is reinforcing her point.
“Viola you’re the better arguer than me but I’m more passionate than you and I like to punish evildoers who steal people’s livelihood for their selfish purpose,”
“Armitage I believe that the main reason you’re my law partner in our firm,” Both of them are headed to the elevator. After the elevator ride, they got off and head to a spacious office where a middle-age blond man sitting at a grey and large desk seemingly age about a few years as someone will indicate.
“Hello Ms. Viola and Ms. Armitage please have a sit.” Sergey motion them to two chairs. “I have deal the media over this scandal everyday constantly and the reporters are harassing me and my family I can’t even have a day to relax because of them. The PR firm that we hire is working on damage control and the CEO is vehement denying any wrongdoing. The reason why we hiring you two due your excellent record and we believe in you to regain our reputation in this mess,” Sergey was looking at both Shizuru and Haruka for some reassure.
“Mr. Tai that why your company hired us to stop the lawsuits against you and prove they not responsible for the embezzlement it done by one individual and white-collar crimes are a serious matter that affect about everyone including the people are saving their retirement funds and benefits,” Shizuru spoken through intelligently.
“I back my partner up by having the person held to the responsibility of making the employees suffer to their greed. Don’t worry Mr. Tai we have this case tidy up before end of the year,” Haruka was speaking confidently.
“Thanks I need some way not making this escalate even further down the line,” He shake both of their hands and then they left.
“We should do some research on the case before present it to the court Armitage,” Shizuru was talking to Haruka. Haruka didn’t response to her friend.
“Oh I sorry I was thinking what Yukino should cook for dinner. I felt we probably going be separate since I don’t know how long this case going to last I’ll very focus. How your wife is doing Shizuru?”
“She was cute couple of days ago after she gave me a good-bye kiss before hurried up to her job,” Shizuru was fondly thinking about Natsuki.
“Sometime next week we could have dinner together and talk everything isn’t work relate Shizuru,”
“Haruka I believe that good idea since we haven’t any get together in while and this case will consume our time so in best interest enjoy the moment before spend countless hours finding the facts,”
After saying their goodbyes to each other they head to their respect homes.
