Chapter 276: In Service
"Are you ready?" Lana asked Kyle while they were in the car. She was handling a very complicated case at that moment in which the victim was a woman who was beaten up, molested and raped by her employer.
The case had become a little complicated since the woman was working as a prostitute also as her part-time while being a waitress in the club. She used to go out with high-profile clients for providing special services to them.
"Yes, but why do you insist on coming when you know how dangerous it could be for you to go there? You must think it over once again before stepping in there? I don't think it's a good idea for you to get involved in this manner. You will put your life in danger..." Kyle scolded.
He was not comfortable with Lana's plan at all and he kept reminding her of serious consequences if things turned bad for them, but his Boss was too stubborn.
Lana's eyebrows arched as she mumbled in a jest, "Hey, do you want me to fire you? I had made it clear while hiring you, no questioning my decision anytime. Now... one more word from you about it and I will definitely look for another paralegal…"
Kyle just zipped his mouth when Lana strictly said all that and they soon reached the club.
She went out first and walked a block towards the club. Kyle soon followed but kept his distance and walked with others pretending as if they were strangers.
Lana went inside the bar where her client used to work and where the perpetrator was. She was in her casual partying outfit. Kyle scratched his head as he followed Lana inside, together with the rest of other customers.
He really had a bad feeling about it... His job for the night was to get some subtle interviews from other workers in the club and collect some more evidence of his habitual offender of molestation, but Lana insisted on going with him, disguising herself as a needy woman wanting to apply as a waitress.
"Did she even know how to behave like a waitress?" Kyle scoffed as Lana signaled him to start with his part of work as she walked in a different direction.
She was too poised and elegant usually but he noticed how she changed her expressions and aura looking meek and needy. He even complimented her in his heart, seeing how suddenly she transformed into a wannabe waitress, in dire need of a job.
He had to admit that Lana was too good in her act, maybe because she was trained well in the military in disguising.
Lana on the other hand, looked around once to check if the boss was around but he was not, so she presumed that he was inside his den.
She already hated that man knowing how that bastard was threatening her client, saying nothing would happen even if she would file a case since she was a GRO and it was her job.
Yes, it was her job, but she has the right to say No. Forcing a woman into something she was not willing to do was a crime. He ra*ped her, as he wanted to have sexual relations with her but she denied, and he forced himself on her without her consent.
Lana smiled and approached a man in uniform and asked, "Are you hiring for a waitress?"
The man looked at her from top to bottom several times trying to assess her by seeing her like that. "Wait here. I will talk to the boss." the man replied.
Soon, he was back and escorted Lana into the private office of the bastard who greeted her with an evil ear to ear grin. Lana could easily spot his lustful eyes hovering at her from head to toe.
"You can start as early as you can, dear. What's your name?"
"I'm Belle," Lana answered with a shy smile. She would need to work in disguise inside the bar so it would be easier for her to gather evidence to defend Mica. The poor woman who was molested and threatened, was really scared.
She was badly beaten up by his goons when she resisted him and tried to escape from his captivity the first time.
Mica was able to escape after a few trials and she ran far away from there. She reached this area where Lana's office was situated and was on the street wandering around when she came across her office.
She saw the board outside that read 'a lawyer in service for those who want to fight for justice'. She thought of going inside and talking to her but was hesitating in doing so and Lana saw her on her door, when she returned after buying some snacks for herself.
She saw her state and immediately understood that she needed some kind of help and encouraged her to get inside and talk to her.
Mica listened to Lana and went with her. After a little bit of probing and consoling, she narrated her entire ordeal to Lana. She was even trembling and crying as she opened in front of her and narrated all what happened with her.
Lana immediately made a move to help her and ensured her security first and also sent her for medical tests to gather the initial clues. She immediately started her further enquiry and decided to file the case once she gathered enough evidence to bring down Mica's employer.
Mica was taken for a complete medical checkup that proved her molestation and beating and then sent to a secure place with the help of her friend Drey.
"Belle!! such a nice name for a beautiful woman. You see, I'm a generous man to all of my employees. My entire operation is legal and I have a lot of high-profile customers that can give you bags of money if you will be just an obedient lady dear." The bastard said with a lopsided grin.
