Enzo |Complete|

[62] Trade off

Mia's POV:

I make my way downstairs dressed in a white sundress and some heels. My hair is out and left wavey and my make-up minimal. As much as I don't want to be leaving the house, I'm just glad I haven't been sick this morning. 

"Morning." I give my parents a fake smile, just like I have since the day Enzo ended our engagement. 

"Good morning Sweetheart, where are you off too? You look lovely." Papa says from the kitchen table as he and Mum eat breakfast.

"Aw thanks Papa. The chief of police has asked me to come in and speak with him, I'm assuming it has something to do with my official complaint." I roll my eyes

"Is that safe, would you like me to come with you?" 

"No, I'm sure I'll be fine. I'm your lawyer remember Papa, I'm here to look after you, not the other way around." 

"Yeah well I'm still your Papa and I still worry about your safety." 

"I'll be fine, really. Enjoy your breakfast." I head for the door

"Call us if you need anything," Mum calls after me

"I will, I love you both" I wave and head out the door. 

...

I arrive at the office building and make my way up the millions of stairs before I reach the reception area. 

"Hi, Mia Ricci I have an appointment with the Cheif," I tell the lady behind the desk

"Perfect, he's expecting you, the first office on the left." She points down the hall 

"Thank you" I smile and turn on my heel, headed towards the office. 

Once I reach the door, I raise my fist and knock. The Cheif opens the door and allows me in. "Miss Ricci, thank-you for coming at short notice." he closes the door 

"You're welcome, now what can I do for you?"

"As you're aware the police officers who put your client away after framing him are now being investigated."

"As they should be." I cross my arms over my chest 

"Let me just cut to the chase, what's it going to take to make this all go away? To make the complaint go away. As you can imaging this is rather embarrassing for us." 

"Make it go away?" I raise a brow "You mean as if it never happened at all?" 

"If possible." He nods 

"Sure" I nod with an amused look on my face. "I'll take back my statement and complaint if you promise that you'll stay away from Enzo Moretti, and that goes for every single officer not just you and dumb and dumber." 

"Done"

"I wasn't finished." I place my hands on my hips "You'll always turn a blind eye to all matters to do with the Cobras, and I mean all matters." I raise a brow

"Miss Ricci we can't-"

"Do you want my complaint to go away or should I tell judge Harrison you called me in here and asked me what it would take to retract my statement?" I pull my phone from my pocket and begin playing the conversation we'd just had on my recording device.

He lets out a deep breath and nods his head "Okay deal, I don't know a thing about the Cobras and I'll call off any investigations." 

"Perfect, will that be all?" 

"Yes, thank-you Miss Ricci." 

"Have a good day Cheif" I exit the room and strut down the hallway feeling proud of myself.
