Living In Heaven

Unknown to herself, Grace somehow did gather the courage to speak. 

She looked relaxed from outside but inside she was desperately praying to the all Gods living in heaven to protect us from Aza's wrath later. 

'Let be this successful.' She prayed

"Go on." 

Hearing Aza, Grace quickly fluttered open her eyes and saw looked at Aza through them.

Grace couldn't fathom what Aza was thinking but she could see a discreet curve of her lips. 

She exhaled a breath, "Well, I would have been happy if you accepted to be Kaden's partner for this project, o--only this one." 

Serene stuttered as she finished off.

She clamped her both hands around Aza's hand in a strong manner. This explained her desperation. Serene badly wished for Aza to not reject her plea. 

Aza pressed her lips together. Originally, she thought that her friends wouldn't care about the guy as they had done in the past with others but they proved her wrong.
