Mr Adam just sighed and decided to end the ridiculous conversation. "Well, let's just say that you guys don't make out in the office," he said, which actually got an annoyed look from Camilla and Kairav."But ...." Mr Adam continued. "I hope you can focus more Mr. Kairav. The problem we are facing is on the verge of crisis. We could have expanded our cooperation more, but now we are stuck solving this legal case."Kairav was silent, of course, he understood the consequences here. No one was more worried about this case than he was. "Of course, Mr Adam. Leave everything to me and my team of lawyers. You just need to focus on maintaining the stability of the company."Mr Adam nodded. "I hope your case can be resolved sooner, Mr Kairav.""Wish me luck in court." Kairav walked from the sofa to his desk. "By the way, what brings you here, Mr. Adam? You must have something to report," he asked, remembering later."Ah ...." Mr Adam rubbed the back of his head. "I was going to ask you what yo
The courtroom was quiet and certainly deserted in the visitor's seat. Only Camilla, Mr Adam, and his assistant Mr Laurant were seated there. On the other side of the visitors' seats, two members of David's family wanted to observe the proceedings.It is now ten o'clock in the morning. The judges have not yet entered the courtroom. The prosecutor or public defender had already taken his seat to the right of the judge's table, opposite the table of Kairav and his lawyer.Kairav and Mr Arguss had not yet entered the room. Only Mr Laurant, his lawyer, was seated at the table.The disabled chief commissioner was still in the waiting room getting ready to change into his prisoner's or defendant's clothes. Of course, accompanying the man inside now was Mr Arguss the head of his legal team.Camilla looked at the watch on her left wrist. Ten o'clock in the morning. 'It'll start soon,' she said to herself. She nudged Mr Adam who was sitting next to her."I wonder if David will come today?" she
"Well, in my opinion, the judge seems to be either neutral or not neutral. You'll see how the two judges among the three respond." Camilla expressed her concern as she and Mr Adam were sitting down for a break at a restaurant near the court premises.They were having lunch while waiting for the outcome of Kairav's first hearing which would be decided after the break."Yes, they didn't go into much detail about the origin of the evidence obtained by the prosecution," Mr Adam responded, sipping his iced coffee."The prosecution also interrogated Kairav with questions that Mr Laurant said were not on the inputted questionnaire," Camilla disagreed."I feel safe now, yes. Because it's only the first trial. Judging from Mr Laurant's tenacity earlier, I'm sure his arguments can win the first hearing, or at least get the upper hand," predicted Mr Adam."Hhhmm... hopefully." Camilla munched on the small cake that the waiters had just delivered to her table. "The charge is five years, you know.
The mobile phone inside the waist bag rang, making its owner immediately grab the bag on the table.Kairav with a sour face immediately switched off whoever was calling him because now the man was in the center of the courtroom and sitting behind the table with the defendant's name on it.'Fuck!' he muttered under his breath as he finished switching off the mobile phone and received intense stares from the prosecutor and the judge, plus the audience who had come to see his trial was also now directing interested glances at him."Are you all right, Mr. Kairav?" asked Mr. Laurant, the lawyer.Kairav just nodded silently, he cleared his throat a few times and hoped that the matter would not be discussed and ignored.Today was the second hearing of his dispute with David. The man was still absent due to health reasons. Fuck health! The man was just pretending to make things worse and wanted to gain sympathy from the judges."We had a pretty bad first hearing, Mr. Kairav," Lawyer Laurant w
Bastian laughed while looking at Kairav who was silent and seemed stunned by the statement, "Why? You must be surprised how I found out that you had a role in the plane bombing, Kairav?"Kairav clenched his hands by his thighs. Something in the back of his mind now reminded him of the days leading up to the plane bombing that had been part of the tragedy of Camilla's life. It reminded him of a decision he had made for that day, which had never been revealed even to Camilla herself.Seeing that Kairav was silent, Bastian grinned again with a sharp look. "No need to play innocent and ignorant like that. You had a hand in that bombing, imagine if Camilla found out.""Shit! Shut that mouth of yours! After threatening to kill that girl, you're now going to make her disappointed in me? Huh! You think I'm scared?" Kairav tried to bluff, but unfortunately, Bastian had too much of a hold on his weakness."I don't care if I have to eliminate the girl or make her disappointed in you. Either way,
"Mr Kairav, how are your criminal courts going?"One of the dozens of journalists who surrounded Kiarav and Camilla asked a question that was then jumbled with other questions."Are you confident of winning this court?" asked a reporter from another news channel.Kairav and Camilla looked at each other with a bit of panic. They both forgot that they were still wanted by the press, they had been hiding in vain to avoid being chased by the paparazzi, Kairav had even temporarily moved to a villa far from the edge of town, but he and Camilla had let their guard down and had come to this crowded event on their own."Have you met with David, Mr Kariav? Isn't there an amicable route?"Various other questions arose. They ranged from questions about the courts, Kairav's opinion about the courts, and how David responded to them to questions about why Kairav killed David.Several journalists were busy thrusting microphones at Kairav's mouth and face. "Why did you kill David? Was it purely becaus
[Atlasa Gweyn]: Hello, Camilla. It's me, Atlasa. I wanted to see you to discuss something. Wouldn't you also like to talk to me about the trial of my husband and Mr Kairav?Camilla's forehead creased in annoyance as she read the incoming message from the woman who had accused her of being her husband's seductress. Surely Atlasa, David's wife, wanted to talk about her husband's harassment and attempted rape.Just remembering the incident made Camilla upset as well as scared and troubled. How could he be able to meet with the perpetrator's family, even that woman? But on the other hand, she was quite curious about what Atlasa would do and talk to her."Is she going to try to threaten me?" Camilla thought. "Well... that could be. David's side might want to persuade me to withdraw my complaint to the police," she wondered.Camilla sighed as she considered that possibility. "Oh my God... what more drama will come after this..." she resigned wearily. She was already too sick of being threat
"Camilla." Merry approached the girl's desk. "A guest is waiting at the reception on the bring floor," she said.Camilla who had just switched off her computer straightened up. 'Wow? He's really coming.' Who else was coming if not Atlasa, David's wife?The girl thought that the impromptu schedule and time she had proposed to Atlasa would not be honored. However, it turned out that Atlasa really did come. Right on the same day.'Then, what she has to say must be really important and urgent,' Camilla thought again. 'I should get ready.Honestly, Camilla could pretty much predict what Atlasa was going to offer her, but strangely enough, she had no idea what materials or weapons she could wield to keep Atlasa at bay.Camilla took the office phone to call the receptionist downstairs, she requested that the guest be escorted directly to Kairav's floor. Camilla was sure that no one would mind if she used the room to meet with Atlasa, Kairav would definitely allow it and no one would interrup
