The Support

Chapter Twenty-Five

Hestia's eyes widened when she heard those words from the man, she gripped the armrest of the chair and almost want to sink herself into it.

Jaypee just admitted his feelings in front of his superior's superior that's why.

Zaim looked at Jaypee for seconds before nodding and looking at the young lawyer, Kristian on the other hand sighed and ripped the paper that he holds.

"What's going on?" Amethyst asked when she noticed his actions.

"Congratulations Macaraeg, you just passed a test." Kristian said.

"A fucking what now!?" Jaypee asked in irritation.

"Well, that paper was an evaluation from your resident shrink that I got. She wrote---" Kristian said and shuffled through the ripped paper. "Well, if I will going to translate. She wrote that you are full of anger and incapable of feeling other emotions other than that and you need serious help." He interpreted then gave him a grin.

Jaypee's eyes narrowed at him and took a deep breath.

"When I get out in these handcuffs, I am going to find you and strangle you with it." He threatened.

"Macaraeg." Zaim warned.

Jaypee huffed and glanced at where Hestia was sitting, only to find out that she wasn't there anymore. He looked at Syrel and Syrel signed that she walked out.

"Now, let's continue this trial." Zaim declared.

Jaylene's forehead furrowed when she saw Hestia in the lobby of the building where they are currently having a trial.

"Hestia, you're here." Jaylene said but it seems like the younger woman is in deep space and didn't hear her. "Hestia." She said and put a hand on her shoulder.

She jumped at the contact and immediately looked at the one who did it and she saw Jaylene.

"Hi." She greeted softly.

"Are you okay?" She asked and sat beside her. "I know we are not on good terms the last time we saw each other but you can still tell me if you're not okay." She explained.

Hestia sighed. "It's nothing, I just walked out from the session...I need air." she said.

"Did he say something?"

"Who? Jaypee? or that lawyer?"

"Both." Jaylene answered.

"It's nothing serious don't worry, I'm just shocked," Hestia said and flashed her a small smile. "I won't hold you back, thanks for checking." She said.

Jaylene nodded and stood up from her seat and walked toward the room where Hestia walked out earlier.

On the other hand, Hestia also stood up and walked away from the lobby.

Ignoring the eyes that watching her move ever since she walked out of that room.

Gemma barged in the door, earning the attention of the people inside.
