Chapter 16: Lawsuit

Yami stormed into the mansion. He was beyond pissed. He slammed the door, not caring who heard.

Suzanne and Martin were startled at the suddenly slamming and knew that Yami was in a bad mood.

Yugi, who was in the living room, jumped when he heard the door slam. He stood up and went into the hall and found Yami.

"Yami, what's wrong?" Yugi asked.

"What's wrong? That bitch Mika is what's wrong!" Yami growled.

"What did she do?" Yugi asked.

"She's suing me." Yami said.

"Suing you?! For what?" Yugi asked, shocked.

"She's saying that the only reason I fired her was because you don't like her." Yami said.

Yugi was startled. "That's not why you fired her, though." Yugi said.

"No. I fired her because of her lousy work ethics. The lawyer she has probably doesn't know about how she did when she worked for me." Yami said.

"So, do you think that you can fight this lawsuit?" Yugi asked.

"I'm going to fight it. My lawyer is on the way over here now to talk to me." Yami answered.

Yugi frowned. "Why would Mika do this? She knows that I'm not the reason that you fired her." Yugi said.

"Mika's like a lot of other women that I knew. They thought that they could sue me for different reasons to get their hands on a part of my money. Of course, all of the other lawsuits were easily shown bogus and dropped quickly." Yami said.

"Well, I hope that this one is solved just as quickly." Yugi said.

"I'm sure that it will be." Yami said.

"Anything that I can do?" Yugi asked.

"No. Just make sure that if Mika approaches you under any circumstances, don't say anything to her. I don't need anything to hurt this." Yami said.

"I won't. I would never see her anyway unless she came looking for me." Yugi said.

"Good." Yami said.

"What do you think, Hiro?" Yami asked.

"Well, to be honest, her lawsuit is something viable, but given what you have just shown me, I think that it will be easy to beat it." Hiro said.

Hiro Tanikashi was Yami's lawyer, and he was very good at his job.

"You think that her lawyer knows about any of this?" Yami asked.

"Her work ethic, no. If her lawyer did, then I am certain that he wouldn't have agreed to this. One look at her work ethic, and he would have known that you had grounds to fire her. It was just this that she was fired for, right?" Hiro asked.

"She came onto me at my restaurant one day, and I found out that she was trying to wait on me when she wasn't assigned to my table and was ignoring the other tables that she was supposed to wait on. I had her entire work record sent over to my office and saw her work ethics. That's what I fired her for, not the fact that Yugi dislikes her. In fact, I don't even know that Yugi dislikes her. He's never mentioned her to me before." Yami said.

"I see. Well, you know the drill. Don't talk to her at all. Let me deal with this." Hiro said.

"I understand. I won't contact her, and I already told Yugi not to speak to her, either." Yami said.

"Good. I'll talk to a judge. He'll have a private talk with us and this woman and her lawyer. We'll see if we can get this lawsuit dropped fast." Hiro said.
