Miguel and Caitlin own competing computer software companies.The success of Caitlin's business was due largely to the work of her chief designer,Mia.During a recent party,Miguel asked Mia if she was happy working for Caitlin.Mia answered,"It's okay,I guess." Miguel then spent the next hour explaining to Mia how she would earn a great deal more money,and how she would be involved in much more interesting projects,if she worked for him instead.Which of the following statements is most likely TRUE?

B) If Mia does leave her job with Caitlin and begins to work for Connor,Caitlin will certainly be entitled to receive damages from Connor.
