Cf. the "Verapon" part where Tachibana is on the phone close to the start, I am about 60% sure that it is meant to be Cantonese. From the shape of her mouth when she speaks, I gather that she is trying to say "jit hor pun" (phonetic spelling according to the way I would say it). Literally, it means "collaborating companion" in Cantonese. I would translate it as "partner", where it means kind of like business partner.
