“Life is very unpredictable,” she warns.
“But one thing is constant—my ability to forge my own path. I have learned from my mistakes. This time, I will protect the people I love and keep them close to me.”
Akira settles back in her seat, a pensive tilt to her lips.
Just then, my phone rings.
Adam.
I sit up straight. “Did you receive the email?”
The MTB passed our internal checks, but to manufacture a medical device requires FCC compliance. We have been waiting for a message regarding our approval status.
“I have bad news, Sazuki.”
My shoulders slump and disappointment surges down my spine, tensing my muscles.
“It got approved!” Adam exclaims.
I jerk up in my seat, my mind buzzing.
“Nova had the factory on stand-by. We’re flying over to finalize the contract.”
“I’ll secure a jet. It will be faster than flying commercial.”
“Show off.”
I smile and hang up.
Warmth spreads through my chest and the only person I want to share the news with is Dejonae.
I check my watch and realize that Dejonae should be finished with her last class soon.
“Akira, turn the car around.”
Twenty minutes later, she parks in front of Dejonae’s campus and glances back at me. “We should have contacted your protection team.”
“You are worth five of them,” I say genuinely.
She looks unimpressed by the compliment.
Eagerly, I leave the car and hurry to the music lecture hall. The doors open and students come flooding into the hallway. I glance past each of their faces, searching for the loveliest one.
One glimpse of her turns me into a pillar.
Dejonae is wearing a white dress with a thin braided belt around the waist. The jean jacket she is wearing over it matches the blue bandana braided across her hair.
A boy is speaking to her, standing a little too close for comfort.
I go tense instantly. My eyes narrow on where he is breathing her air.
Dejonae glances up and notices me. She stops. Her jaw drops. Her eyes widen.
I stalk toward her.
The boy wisely moves aside, putting as much distance between him and Dejonae as possible.
“Sazuki, what are you doing here?” Her eyes dart around.
