Chapter 19 - Let’s Continue
"Due to some personal reasons I have to go abroad and I want your company to pay all the expenses of this trip . Also the appointment I need to arrange and their fees too . If you don't then I won't go inside and even destroy the only evidence that can save you . " said Aria .
Bekora and Ramolo remained silent and surprised when they say Aria's expression, serious, calm , emotionless with piercings eyes . It felt as if she would really destroy their last hope in an instant.
"Agree ?"
"We agree with all your terms Aria so please don't destroy it and finish this ." said Bekora anxious that Aria would actually break the evidence .
"Alright ! I will obtain victory in this case and you guys cover my trip expenses . " said Aria in a serious tone .
The three of them headers towards the court hall . Aria looked at her phone and saw that there was still ten minutes left before the seance began so she decided to go at the toilet .Bekora and Ramolo weren't sure if they had to follow her or not . Aria saw their expression and turned around.
"I'm going to the toilet , I am not running away . If you don't mind going in the ladies toilet then you can gladly come . " said Aria with a smile .
"N..no no , we will wait here for you ,it's better ." said Bekora in an awkward tone .
Ramolo came closer and nodded in sign of agreement with what Bekora said .
Aria then left for the toilet . On her way she saw Anna talking with
mr Ben , miss Karen and another person too . They were discussing something important but it was hard to liste to it . The other person was a forty year old man , with a classic working costume . He was short and fat .
"God sure is helping me a lot . I may not be able to hear them but some pictures will definitely come in handy for later ." said Aria with a grin .
She took the pictures and then put the phone on the inner pocket of her jacket. After taking the photos she left .
Before Aria could leave completely Anna cached a glimpse of her .
" Is the girl that took the deleted informations from the company tech department. Did she see us ? " asked Anna worryingly.
"It's not important even if she saw us. Who could believe her with the best lawyer, mr Ben Graz on our side ?! You have never deluded me nor in the past nor will you now , right ? " said ms Karen in an evil tone . Please visit 𝗳𝚛𝐞𝘦wℯ𝚋𝓷o𝚟el. 𝐜𝘰𝒎
"Y..yes madam !" said mr Ben but he still felt a bit uneasy. For the first time he wasn't sure if he would win the case or not .
Anna , Karen and the other person went ahead cause mr Ben decided to go to the toilet .
' I am one of the best in my field of work but why would I feel uneasy in front of a little girl like her . The feeling of confidence that her eyes emit are no joke . I better prepare for a fierce battle. ' though mr Ben with a serious expression while walking towards the toilet .
When he arrived he saw Aria that was about to enter in the ladies toilet . The moment he saw her , he couldn't forget about how calm she was as if she had the victory in her hand .
" If it isn't mis Aria . What a coincidence to see you ! " said mr Ben .
Aria turned her head and saw that mr Ben was behind her .
" I don't usually believe in coincidences mr Ben ." said Aria annoyingly .
"You're too confident and this leads to your unkind behavior but is understandable since you're young . As your senior in I ask you to first learn from experience then come here . This case is not something you should use as a practice. " said mr Ben in a sarcastic way .
' Is this forty year old snake trying to disregard my abilities ?! ' thought Aria who was already really angry .
" Wether I can take care
of this case well or not , you will see it.Sometimes experiences aren't enough mr Ben ! " said Aria then left leaving mr Ben annoyed .
"This brat has too much confidence. It may be troublesome ." said mr Ben .
His eyes went towards the ladies
toilet 's door and a sly idea came to his mind . He decided to lock the toilet's door and so he did . After locking it he threw the key in the trash bin .
"Let's see your arrogance now ." said mr Ben proudly and then headed back to the court hall .
Aria was washing her hands when mr Ben locked the door so she couldn't hear anything. She dried her hands and wanted to open the door but it didn't open . Aria started to pull the door again with more strength but it was useless.
She remained silent a few seconds , trying to calm down and organize her thought then understood that mr Ben had locked her in .
"That old snake !" said Aria angrily.
Aria hated closed spaces . Her head started to turn around and her vision became blurry. She took her phone out while she was still conscious and called the first number she saw .
"Hello ! Sis ?!" asked Ace .
It was Ace the one she had called .
"Ace I am at the city main court . Pleas come fast , I ..I am locked in the ladies toilet . " said Aria while hardly trying to catch her breath.
"What !! Are you alright ?! Who locked you in there ?!!! " said Ace worryingly.
"Mr Ben locked me , the lawyer of the other party .... I..am alright ..just please hurry . " said Aria with all her force .
She decided to call Bekora too but then her battery died .
"Sis ?!!! Oh no ! Shit , I have to hurry or she won't be able to resist till the end of the juridical seance .
In the past Aria was locked inside the bathroom three times , since then she couldn't stand small places and each time she were to be locked inside a bathroom she would hardly breathe then at worse cases even faint .
Ace took their dad's car and hurried towards the main court .
' How dare he lock my sister !!!! See if I won't teach you a lesson you damn asshole lawyer. ' thought Ace while driving like a car racer .
Meanwhile in the court mr Ben had entered. Bekora and Ramolo were still waiting for Aria to come but she wasn't showing up .
"Where is she ? " murmured Ramolo .
"She said she would come . " said Bekora .
"Are we sure she didn't change her mind ?!" said Ramolo to Bekora in a low tone .
In that instant Bekora remembered the moment he first saw her and the determination that she had shown .
"I highly doubt that . She will come , I am sure of it ." said Bekora .
"I hope you're right ! "
Mr Ben looked at Ramolo and Bekora's worried expression and decided to annoy them even more .
"Your Honor ! We have already waited for mr Helios's lawyer for five minutes now . I think that we need to continue with the process . I have also invited a witness that need to attend other matters later and has to finish his duty here fast . " said mr Ben and in a sly way looked at Bekora and Ramolo .
"That bastard ! " said Bekora , and was about to get up but Ramolo stopped him .
" It's no use being angry . We need to find Aria first ! " said Ramolo .
"You go search for her ! I will stay here and try to gain more time . " said Bekora .
Ramolo went to look for Aria . The situation had gotten really difficult now .
The prosecutor saw mr Ben and thought that he wasn't entirely wrong .
" Okay , we will continue ! " said the prosecutor .
"Your Honor , please allow is more time . Our lawyer had an important issue to solve . " said Bekora .
" More important than the case right now ?!" said the prosecutor angry .
"No Your Honor ! It is related to the case otherwise she wouldn't miss ."said Bekora with serious tone .
When the prosecutor saw Bekora's determined attitude, he changed his mind .
"All right ! We will wait till mr Ben finishes presenting all the evidences in his hand . If until then , your lawyer hasn't arrived I will ignore your counter arguments or evidences and give the rights to miss Karen , even if you're innocent. That's option I offer you . Agree or not ? " said the prosecutor.
' It must be the forced agreement day today ! At the beginning Aria now the prosecutor. Haizzz I hope this finishes soon . I need a break .' thought Bekora .
"Agree Your Honor ! " said Bekora and then sat down .
" Good ! Let's continue ! " said the prosecutor .
