THE BALLERINA SECRET LOVE
Part 179's. The Incident 8
Sara POV
"Sir, there's a guest. Said Miss Maureen's parents wanted to see you and Miss Sara." Hilda came up with an astonishing notice that weekend.
"They want to ask you to testify lightly for their son for sure. It doesn't have to be responded to." Francoise put up defense first. But I thought for a moment, I thought it better to listen first to what they wanted to say.
"Maybe we'll just listen because they got here." Francoise instantly furrowed an eyebrow as I agreed to meet them.
"Why do you bother listening to them?"
"They must be willing to pay dearly for their son's leniency."
"Then you want them to change money for you. It's demeaning to yourself."
"Not for me I guess." I have an idea now, how to take advantage of this situation. "There's something better..." Francoise watched my expression of arms.
"Who do you mean for?"
"What if we just meet them first let's see if we can use this opportunity. How about we play bad cop and good cop (bad cop and good cop) ..." I'm dragging Francoise who doesn't know what I'm gonna do about this. Francoise stopped my steps.
"Wait for what you're really planning, if we play the role so what you want to achieve. You have to tell me, if not how can I help you."
"Look..., what if we get them to apply for a sponsor for your mother's nomination to be Secretary of Energy?" Now Francoise is silent. I didn't have this idea myself before, but since he's come here why don't I just use this moment to make a profit. Francoise's mother got the sponsorship she wanted and I got face to face in front of Francoise's mother.
And Francoise began to smile broadly at my idea.
"No wonder all your spying operations are smooth, you're great at seizing opportunities. Your brain is sneaky." I'm laughing now.
"Dear you embarrassed me, your compliments are sky-high."
"Daughter-in-law, you want a kiss from Mother-in-law." I was stunned as she hugged and kissed me with anxiety. "Let's do me a bad cop and you're good cop, don't you mean...We'll push them to the point of desperation just filing a lawsuit."
"Fright baby." I agree, that's what I mean.
We went into the living room. Maureen Markson's father and mother were sitting there watching Francoise and me walk in. They brought lawyers. Francoise put on a dislike face while I was flat-faced.
"Have you come here, Mr and Mrs Markson, haven't you had enough trouble with your son? You brought a lawyer here? You guys want to threaten us?"
"No. No, we don't mean to threaten you, we want to apologize to you, and ask you for help. We have no right to threaten anything, don't misrepresent us." Now Maureen's mother speaks straight away. "Miss Sara, our son did the wrong thing, we as his parents apologize, we are also guilty of our son's actions. Please forgive us." I just kept quiet to hear their apologies. I won't be moved on the first try.
"You're perfectly good at apologizing for your child. Your son is very smoothly threatening, really perfect." Bad cop - Francoise speaking now.
"I've never bothered your child. He's the one who came to make it all mess." I finally spoke to Maureen's mother. Unwilling to forgive what he had done, he had to try even harder to convince me.
"Ohh you apparently want to bribe us with your abundant money." Francoise came forward to judge again as bad cop. I'm not talking about anything.
"Mr Francoise I'm talking this way because what my daughter did was outrageous, sorry it wasn't enough to pay for the damage she caused. He will pay of course, we cannot avoid jail, only I beg Miss Sara and Mr. Francoise to forgive us and ease the sentence." Beautiful words, my circus mind began to run, it seems that this mistress played a lot in the difficult lobbies.
"What do you want with bringing a lawyer here." Francoise asked.
"We know our daughter can't escape punishment, we want to negotiate terms to cooperate to ease her sentence."
"Darken..." Francoise immediately made an angry comment.
"We know the price we're asking isn't cheap. We are willing to negotiate any terms you request for the price of your Apology. It's not bribing you, but because we know an apology is not enough for anything. He will remain in prison, we ask that you be willing to slightly reduce the weight of his sentence. Lawyers we said it could be done." Maureen's father now changed his mind. He also tried to soften Francoise. It seems he believes softening Francoise also means a reduction in penalties can be done.
Francoise and I looked at. Look at them...
"We apologize to you and your help. Have mercy on us please grant us relief." Now Maureen's mother held my hand and cried. I want him to do it to this desperate stage.
Francoise slightly nodded her mark she thought this was also the time.
"All right." Mom Maureen raised her face looking at me with hope when I agreed.
"You ready? What conditions do you ask for? Please tell us."
"Be the sponsor. Mary Aides to advance to Secretary of Energy."
"Ohh..." Ms. Markson looked at her silent husband before saying.
"You seem to have known what you wanted from the beginning, ..." He sighed. "You want me to gather support for your Mother? Or support donations on behalf of your Mother." He's not talking to me anymore but to Francoise.
"Both." Francoise responded immediately. Now that he knew what he had to pay, the irony was actually how the situation turned around. Francoise's mother expected Markson to be able to support her in her candidacy, but now it's me who can force Markson to sponsor Ms. Francoise.
"good. But Miss Sara has to work with us on a punishment reduction arrangement."
"Agreed."
And that's how the day ended with the lawyer saying what I had to do to help him.
"I can't wait to hear Mom's face that doesn't believe that you're actually helping her move up to Secretary of Energy."
"I'm doing my best, not."
"You're the best."
