47 Don't think that I don't understand

After a few minutes when the receptionist didn't get any response from Akira she asked her again,

"So are you going to meet him or should I ask him to go back?"

Akira did not want to go through all the bitter memories again. She didn't want to look at Anthony's face because that would remind her of the pain which she had tried hard to forget. She was worried like anything and then she looked at Raymond like she wanted an escape route from him.

Even though Raymond knew about Anthony, he didn't want to let Akira know about it, so he asked,

"Is everything ok with you? Why are you panicking so much after hearing this guys name? If you don't want to meet him just send him away."

"Actually, he is my ex-boyfriend and I broke up with him a couple of weeks back. I am not scared or worried. It's just that I don't want to go back and remember what happened in the past because...." and her voice just trailed off.
