Jess looked at him walk away and suddenly started to follow him.

"Mr, Akira! Stop!" She said breathlessly. He stopped when his name was called and looked at her with a suspicious gaze.

"What is it now?" He asked in a sullen voice, he sounded as if he had no interest in talking to her.

"I will give you back the recording!" She exclaimed.

Akira's brow lifted suspiciously and he slightly over his head in confusion. "You are going to give me the recording after saying you have no idea what I was talking about?" Akira questioned in detail with his walls of defence high up in the sky.

"Yes, I will." She replied confidently.

"Just like that? Are you not going to ask me for something?" He asked curiously.

Jess went blank for a moment then broke into a laugh. "Of course I need something in return!" She covered her face trying to act as composed as possible.
