72 Wrapping It Up (1/2)
The other three women in the room kept mum. They tried to say something but were too scared to. Elisabeth was in a dilemma: on one side was her profession on the other was that person. She couldn't afford that woman and all she could do was to carry on with the plan.
Thus, with a newfound determination she started her speech,
”Do you think just recording us or making conjectures about us is enough to shift your blame on us? Do you think you can play us on your fingers!?”
She stared maliciously at Sia with her unconcealed hate. If not for this woman's craftiness she wouldn't be in such a nerve-wrecking state, trembling for the fear of her future. If before her hate was unfounded and stemmed only from the words of that woman, now she sincerely hated this doctor with all her being.
Looking at Sia's smug face she was even further enraged,
”What the h*ck are you smiling at!?”
In contrast, Sia continued smiling lightly and chose not to answer her question. Instead she felt like infuriating even further,
”Your image miss Elisabeth, keep your precious image.”
Before Elisabeth could flare up even more, the doors to the room opened to reveal two men in professional black suits. One of them had a head full of white hair while the other looked young and suave.
The young man looked across the room and stopped his gaze on Sia. When she noticed his gaze they both gave each other a smile and a nod. The man walked to her side and took the sit next to her. He then lifted his briefcase and gave some documents to Siana. Sia skimmed over the papers and her smile started growing wider by the minute. This sight and the chairman's gradually darkening face made Elisabeth's uneasiness increase by a notch. Bracing herself for anything to come she tried to break the suffocating silence,
”Chairman Coleman, this ...”
”Shut up!” Chairman Coleman interrupted her straight away.
He had been enjoying his day when he had got a call from the best lawyer in the country who straight away called him to the court. If it wasn't for his alibi and really not being involved in the case whatsoever he would probably have already lost his job. Just looking at him sitting and chatting to the young doctor already made his heart jump in fright. Who didn't know about him in their country? He was well known for being picky with his clients: he didn't even care about protecting the rich and famous, he would only protect those he considered worthy. And despite this, he was still one of the very few lawyers who had never lost a case since the start of his career.
And here she was, being falsely accused by some unknown manager for no rhyme or reason. He had already more or less guessed the situation, and already knew that, to begin with, none of the required procedures had been carried out correctly. Afterwards, the doctor in the Northern hospital had handed them a fabricated medical report, that was easily discovered because of the back up information they had. This all smelled fishy but as if this wasn't even enough, he got to know that this Elisabeth went to further lengths and tried to revoke her qualifications.
Taking a look at the women in the room he couldn't help but think: did these women really take Siana Illes as your average woman who could be toyed with? This was going to be the death of him if he didn't deal with the problem fast enough.
