Her Favorite Lawyer
If Vi had taken a drink of her coffee, it would be all over Caitlyn by now. She actually needed to do a spit take at that revaluation. Vi’s eyes were practically bulging out of her head at this point, and now Caitlyn was sitting pretty uncomfortably under her gaze.
“So…?” Caitlyn said, needing to break the uncomfortable silence.
Vi relaxed a bit, still shaken up, and honestly a bit angry. “She did what now?”
Caitlyn looks down at her hands and whispers, “you heard me. And a bunch of people have seen it already. I need it gone, Vi. I need it gone now.”
Vi shakes her head to get herself to focus. Duh, she needs the video taken down. “Um… so we're filing a lawsuit?”
“Yes,” Caitlyn responds, like it's the most obvious thing in the world. And honestly, it was.
Vi let out a sigh. “So what's our goal here?”
“To make her pay,” Caitlyn responded firmly.
Vi sighs again and leans forward, looking Caitlyn dead in the eyes. “What if the court decides that she doesn't need to pay?”
Caitlyn scoffs in disbelief. “I am a celebrity! I am loved by everyone! They won't take her side!”
Vi leans back in her chair and pinches the bridge of her nose. “Caitlyn, what if the best you get out of this is the video being removed?”
Caitlyn's expression softens as she stares into space. “I hadn't thought about that…”
Vi leans forward again and reaches over to desk to gently touch Caitlyn’s hand. “If you want to file a lawsuit, I'll help you. Just… don't blame me if things don't go the way we want, okay? I will do my best to get you justice, but you know the legal system…”
Caitlyn gazes down at Vi’s hand on hers, tears welling in her eyes but she holds them back as she nods.
Vi smiles warmly and pulls her hand away. “Then consider yourself lucky, Kiramman. Your favorite lawyer is on the case.”
