Midnight in December (BINI Series #2)

Chapter 29: The Possibility of Letting Her Go

Aiah's POV

She did not let me down. She gave me a reply the next day that she had set up the meeting with her supposed complainant and had agreed to meet us somewhere private. Eventually, that day is today. Informing me two days ahead before the actual settlement was beneficial as I had gone through every document and prepared myself for today's meeting.

The place we decided to meet was somehow secluded, it was a coffee shop outside town that offers private room for private meetings.

As usual, Mikha is still late. Minutes later, I saw a girl accompanied with a man dressed in his suit which led me to believe that the girl is the client and the guy was a counsel.

"Good morning. You must be Attorney Arceta?" I nodded subtly.

"It's nice to meet you. Would it be alright to wait for a while before we start? Ms. Lim ran an errand last minute." I tried to make some excuses. I directed then to take their seats.

Mikha. Why is she so tardy all of a sudden? She used to be on time with all of our dates before. Usually 10 minutes early pa nga eh.

It was then that we heard the glass door opened, arriving in a brown full suit, Mikha strutted towards us exuding with at most charisma drawing people's attention towards her.

"Sorry I am late. Shall we start?" And as expected she went down to business.

It was Attorney Flores who began "As you all know, and as stated in our complaint, we just wanted a compensation for the company's violation of terminating my client's contract just like that." He began explaining even further.

I observed how his client was already squirming on her seat as my seatmate was glaring daggers over their side. Her usual poker face look.

I decided to clear my throat which Mikha might have caught up to and soften her gaze elsewhere.

"I totally understand your point with that but you do know that we have evidences that could turn your allegations as merely allegations." I took note of the attorney's reaction as he had froze in his seat.
