Chapter 115 - Akira vs. Damien (3)

"But…" Akira's voice shifted, a playful lilt to it.

"It won't work. Not on me. He's trying to make me curious, to wonder what he's up to. But I already know what he's doing."

She leaned back slightly in her wheelchair, her hands resting gracefully on the armrests as she considered Damien's actions.

The old woman could see the wheels turning in Akira's mind—this wasn't a situation that had taken her by surprise.

If anything, she seemed pleased by the turn of events, intrigued by Damien's boldness.

"So, what did he say?" Akira asked, her tone now casual but probing.

She wasn't worried; she was merely curious about the details of Damien's latest move.

The old woman, still keenly observant, offered a small smile as she replied, "He mentioned he's going on a date tonight."

Akira's eyes narrowed at those words, though the flicker of emotion that passed through her gaze was well-hidden.

A date?
