Haruhi sat there calmly as she watched they lying Ms. Sakamoto take a seat in the witness box. Ms. Sakamoto was the perfect image of calm, despite the look of shock that had been on her face but minutes before.
Once Ms. Sakamoto was seated Mr. Shioya cleared his throat and began to ask questions. "Ms. Sakamoto is your employer Mr. Takashi Morinozuka?"
"Yes," Ms. Sakamoto said clearly and firmly.
"When did you begin working for him?"
"About six months ago."
"Alright, what was your job description?"
"I was technically a receptionist, but I actually took care of all the paperwork."
Mr. Shioya nodded slowly as he got back into his comfort zone, letting the shock of Haruhi's opening statement move behind him.
"Can you tell me what happened on June 8th?"
"On June 8th I was working late, trying to file some paperwork we had recently received from a veterinarian on the conditions of different animals that have been adopted. I was almost done when Mr. Morinozuka entered the room," Haruhi watched as Ms. Sakamoto took a deep breath, as if to settle her nerves. "I asked him if he needed anything. He didn't say anything at first. He came over and pressed me up against the filing cabinets. He then started groping me and whispering things in my ear. Things he said he wanted to do to me," tears began to slowly trail down Ms. Sakamoto's face. "They were horrible things. Then he pushed his mouth on me, I think he thought it was a kiss. While he was distracted with that I rammed my knee up between his legs. When he fell I ran. I had just gotten into my car and locked the doors when he charged out of the building, a look of pure rage on his face. I drove away as fast as I could. I didn't say anything to anyone at first because who would believe me over the son of one of the most powerful families in Japan? I finally changed my mind when I saw him doing the same thing to his partner and roommate, Ms. Chelsea Willingham. When she wouldn't join me in protesting against him I decided to do it on my own. No more women need to suffer this."'
Haruhi's eyes widened in shock as she realized that Ms. Sakamoto bad just repeated, word for word, what she had said during the deposition. She had memorized it, to make sure she wouldn't forget details. Well then…Haruhi would use that to her advantage.
"I'm done your honor," Mr. Shioya said to Judge Nozawa.
"Thank you Mr. Shioya, Ms. Fujioka would you like to cross-examine the witness?"
"Yes your honor, I would." Haruhi said as she stood and approached Ms. Sakamoto. "Ms. Sakamoto was Mr. Takashi Morinozuka your only employer during these past six months?"
"Of course," Ms. Sakamoto said calmly.
"Oh? Then why do I have proof of you being on the Sagisu Corporation payroll during those six months? According to this," Haruhi held up a copy of the payroll that Kyoya had obtained for her, "you were."
"Objection your honor! The defense did not share this evidence with us." Mr. Shioya called out.
"Is this true Ms. Fujioka?" Judge Nozawa asked.
"No your honor, it isn't true. I sent copies of this evidence, along with the rest of my evidence to Mr. Shioya's office multiple times. I even have a receipt to prove it," Haruhi held her receipt up.
Mr. Shioya seemed lost and confused again. "But, but, I thought you were just being overly cautious after your harddrive and paperwork was stolen!"
"So you never looked at the evidence Ms. Fujioka sent over? Then I believe your objection is not necessary. Please continue Ms. Fujioka," Judge Nozawa said.
Haruhi gave Ms. Sakamoto a small smile. "Well Ms. Sakamoto, why do I have proof that you were employed with Sagisu Corporation while you worked for Mr. Takashi Morinozuka?"
Ms. Sakamoto had no reply, she just sat there, a look of shock on her face, as her mouth moved up and down wordlessly.
