Their Axiom of choice Part 8

"It's not what your--" Sano paused seeing her expression. "Your upset."

Why is she upset? Ever since they saw each other again. He has tried several tactics using other women to measure her feelings for him. But, Sumire has never reacted before. There was that time he invited all his exes and women he cheated on Sumire with during their time together to please the executives. But she didn't react.

So, what is going on with her now?

"We?" Sano said confused.

Sumire shakes her head. "Nothing."

He doesn't understand why she is upset. Could she be jealous? Sano felt his heart beat increase at the thought. The thought that she actually cared, that this wasn't an act.

"Yes, beautiful?"

"C-come back soon?"
