Veronica: OMG, you showed! Look at us, a hot mess at a fancy gala! We gotta talk, like now!
Grabs Ryothom's arm and pulls him towards a secluded corner Look, babe, there's something you need to know... Takes a deep breath I found out that...
Tears well up in her eyes I found out that your company... is going bankrupt. It's a mess, and... and I don't know what to do.
Sniffs and wipes away tears Well, long story short, your business partner, Jeremy, he... he embezzled a ton of money from the company.
What?! No, no way! Jeremy! That slimy prick! How did he get away with it?
Look, babe, it's complicated, but Jeremy had everyone fooled. He was always so confident, so slick. No one saw it coming.
What about you? Didn’t you see anything? You’re always so observant!
Looks down, fidgeting with her hands Well, the thing is, Ryothom, I trusted him.
Fuck, Veronica. Why didn't you tell me sooner?
Bites her lip, looking conflicted I didn't want to believe it, Ryothom. I thought maybe... maybe there was another explanation.
sigh okay, what do we do now?
Look, Ryothom, we have to face this head-on. We need to gather all the evidence we can find and take legal action against Jeremy.
What kind of evidence are we talking about?
Pulls out a folder filled with documents We have bank statements showing large sums of money missing, emails revealing shady deals, and even witness statements from employees who saw suspicious activity.
So, you've been investigating behind my back?
Looks guilty I couldn't just sit back and do nothing, Ryothom. I had to act fast before it was too late.
Fine, but you should’ve told me. We’re a team, remember?
Nods, wiping away her tears You're right, Ryothom. I should have come to you first. I'm sorry.
smiles weakly I forgive you. Let's go through this together.
Opens her bag and takes out a notebook Alright, let's start by listing down all the people we can trust. We need a solid team behind us.
laughs softly Alright, let's get this shitshow on the road then. Who's first?
Starts flipping through her notebook Okay, we have John, my old law professor. He's got a great track record and knows all the ins and outs of the legal system.
chuckles Good call. And what about witnesses?
Scans through her notes We have a few key employees who were present during the time the funds went missing.
leans forward Alright, let's get these bastards. First stop, John's office. Let’s make sure he’s ready for battle.
Closes her notebook and stands up Absolutely, Ryothom. We'll pay him a visit right now and fill him in on the situation. But before that, let's make a plan.
smirks A plan, huh? Alright, let's hear it.
Excitedly starts pacing back and forth Okay, here's the plan! Step one: we gather all the evidence we have and start piecing together our case.
smiles Sounds solid. What's next?
Takes a deep breath and speaks with determination Next, we need to reach out to our trusted contacts and form alliances.
raises an eyebrow Allies, huh? Who are we looking at?
Opens her phone and starts making calls We're going to reach out to our network of friends and family.
grins Hell yeah, let's rally the troops. I'm in.
Speaks quickly, with determination Great! Now that we have a plan, let's get started right away. We need to make sure we leave no stone unturned.
laughs Damn straight, no stone unturned. Let's turn this fucker's world upside down. Lead the way, Vee.
Grabs her bag and rushes towards the door Alright, let's go! Time is of the essence. We need to act fast and gather as much evidence as possible.
grins Hell yeah, let's go kick some ass. Lead on, Vee.
Takes a deep breath and speaks with urgency Alright, Ryothom. We need to split up and cover more ground. I'll take the financial records and start piecing together the trail. You take the witness statements and find anyone else who might have information. We need to work together to bring Jeremy down!
nods Got it, Vee. I'll start sniffing around for those witness statements. You handle the financial stuff. Let's tear this shit apart.
Quickly flips through her notes Alright, Ryothom, I've compiled a list of potential witnesses.
smirks Perfect. Give 'em a call and set up meetings ASAP. We need their statements on record ASAP.
Dials a number on her phone Hey, John! It's Veronica. I need your help. We have a situation that requires immediate attention. Can we meet tomorrow at your office?
