112 Why don't you ask him out?

After disconnecting the call with Raymond, Katherine called up Akira again. She was hoping that at least this time she would pick it up. She had been calling her multiple times but she hadn't picked it up even once. She understood what that poor girl's heart might be going through, so she was patient.

Finally, on the umpteenth ring, she picked it up.

"Hey there Akira", Katherine said sighing out of relief.

"Hi, Katherine. How are you?", Akira asked.

"I am good. I thought you won't pick up this time too", Katherine said.

"Umm... What happened?", Akira asked.

"Can we not waste our time over telephonic conversation and talk about the elephant in the room", Katherine spoke with her usual directness.

"What do you want to talk about Katherine?", Akira asked

"I don't want to discuss over the phone. I will be free from my clinic at around 6 pm. So can we directly meet? I will come to your office to pick you up?", Katherine asked.
