Looking at Akira, he asked,
"Are we cool then?"
She nodded her head with a smile of relief on her face . Even though she knew that Dr . Oshana's accusations on Dr . Nelson were preposterous, but she just wanted to confirm for the peace of her mind .
Then, taking a deep breath, Dr . Nelson said .
"Akira, I am way past the age at which the heart gets excited about silly things . And to be honest, I have known only one woman in my life and I will worship her till death . "
Saying that he didn't turn to look at her and neither did she, as she was feeling all silly for even having such a thought in her head . There was silence, that spread in the cab, only to be unmuted by the sound of Akira's mobile phone's vibration .
"Hello, Vikram . "
"Hello, Akira . How have you been doing?"
"Well, I was just busy with the new project . What about you?"
"I just came back to town today morning . "
"How is uncle now? Recovering well?"
"He is stable now, but vitals are not up to prime . So it was better that he stayed at the hospital . "

"Oh, I see . So, you will go back to Dallas soon?"
"Yeah . I had come here to get some official work done . Once that is over, I will travel back to Dallas on Monday . "
"I see . I will try to come and visit him on Tuesday or Wednesday . "
"No need to travel Akira . Once I go there on Monday, I will shift him back to New York . "
"I see . Then let me know when you come back . Will come to visit him . "
"Sure I will do . By the way, I called you for a favor . "
"Anything for you . "
Akira said, but her fists were all balled up .
"The thing is, I need to attend a big party tomorrow night, and I would really like to introduce you to some of the pillars of the business world, who will be coming to the party . That will be good for our new project . "
"I see . "
Akira said all casually, but her fingers were running on her forehead as she was unable to decide if how to say no to him . Blocking the mouthpiece of her phone, she looked at Nelson and mouthed,
"HELP ME, PLEASE . "
Dr . Nelson was startled at first, but then he realized that she wanted to dodge the call . So covering his mouth he said,
"Ma'am, the report is ready . We all are waiting for you in the meeting room . "
Just after he finished his dialogue, Akira said,
"Hey Vikram, I will call you in five minutes . Let me just reschedule the meeting . I don't want my folks to waste their time waiting for me in a meeting room . "
And saying that, before Vikram could even say a word, Akira disconnected the call .
She looked at Dr . Nelson and then smiled and said,
"Thanks . "
Dr . Nelson, leaned back a bit towards his side and looked at her and said,
"That's a new problem I suppose?"
Akira smiled and shrugged her shoulder, before calling up Raymond .
.
.
"Hello, Akira . "
"Hello, Raymond . Where are you?"
"I am meeting someone . Tell me . "
"Actually Vikram just called . He was asking me to accompany him to the party, I mean your dad's party . "
"Hope you said yes to that !!!"
"You want me to go with him?"
"Totally !!! His fate is always bleak whenever he plans to go out with you . "
Akira chuckled at his sarcasm and then said,
"Well, I stalled him . Wasn't sure if I should go with him or not . "
"To be honest, I am not sure what his condition will be after your press conference tomorrow morning . So I am not sure if he will still be ready to go with you . But chances are high that he will go . "
"Don't worry, no matter what I announce at the press conference, he will not be angry with me . He will never be able to imagine that I will make him bankrupt . "

"Leave all that to me, Raymond . You focus on your work . I will manage all this . "
"God should forgive me for turning you like this Akira . "
Raymond said and sighed .
"Like what Raymond? Sharper, smarter, wittier?"
"You know what I mean Akira . "
"I know that Raymond . It's not you . Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me . I am not going to be ashamed by anyone Raymond . "
Saying that Akira disconnected the call and texted Vikram .
"The dinner is on . Hope you will come and pick me up . " - Akira
A smug smile spread on Akira's face after she was done texting .
Dr . Nelson looked at her and asked,
"What's with that face?"
"What face?"
"That, you are going to be so sorry face . "
