I had seen the scary side of Mme. Empathy
which could send shiver down the spine of anybody, even Mr. Pride, the man who
sniggered at the physical ordeal of an Asian woman. Despite that, I could still see his points
that she was to be blamed for not having played by the book which led to my
lawsuit. He was also a victim of Mme.
Empathy because if it were not for her silver tongue, he may not have purchased
this defective property equipped with an extractor pipe installed illegally by
the former owner without the consent of the Syndic. In fact this was the main issue of my
lawsuit. My lawyers saw that my physical
suffering would not carry much weight in the court (wow!), but the illegality
of the pipe may. This is why the
otherwise confident Mme. Empathy was rattled.
She softened her expression and cajoled Mr.
Pride. Oh I have seen that transition a
few times myself. Mme. Empathy purred ‘But
we can get out of this if you follow my plan.
I will find some sucker to buy my machines off me. You just keep your mouth shut about the
pending lawsuits and I will not need to sue you.’ My lawyer did not think this was possible as
any sensible buyers would check the status of the restaurant permit. The prospective buyers would soon see the
records of the pending lawsuit and would stay away from the trouble. No problems as Mme. Empathy would choose her
preys wisely. Would her protector or my
Goliath give her time she needed to run?
Would there be another prey added to Mme. Empathy’s trail of
victims?
To be continued.
