David blushed with her compliment and said,

"You are exaggerating Akira. The whole idea was yours. What our legal team and I did was to search in the direction that you suggested. So if the credit should go to anyone, then it should be you and only you", saying that David gave out a gentle smile.

Akira smiled back and then said,

"This bribery won't work on me, David. I am still not sure, how you kept away such a big thing away from me David. Didn't you feel pity for me? Didn't you feel like telling me the truth? How could you keep it to yourself for all these years?"

"Feel Pity for you?", David said and sank deep into the chair.

Then looking at Akira he said,

"There were days when after seeing you getting all drowned in the pang of separation, I hated myself, my entire existence, as I felt like I was the one who was causing all the pain to you. I have cried tears of blood for your sake Akira. So don't ever think that it was easy on me."

Taking a deep breath Akira looked at David and then said,

"I trust you David and Raymond trusts you more than anyone else in the world and I trust him. So I know that you had the reasons. But are we missing out on something? Are you not able to tell us something about Sebastian? Is there something that we should know about him?"

"What do you mean Akira?"

"What I mean is, it's not possible for someone to hate me so much so that he will go on the extent to kill me just out of the blue. There must be some solid reason behind this hatred. I need to figure out the reason before Raymond does. Because I don't know how bad it is. I don't know if he can handle it or not."

"What do you mean Akira? What are you trying to say?"

"What I am trying to say is, given the current condition of Raymond, I don't think that it is good for him to know about anything drastic. He is currently on a mission to find out why his father is after me and I know that he will not rest until he finds out why."

"So?"

"So I want you to assist him in finding the reason out, but do not let him know about the reason before I do. Because I don't want him to go through any shock. I need to figure out if in any way I have offended Mr. Sebastian in the past or something, none that I know of but still I need to figure out if I am related to him in some way or the other."

"I get that."

"And may I know what Raymond is up to currently? Do you know he has signed these papers and he gave them to me? What does this mean?"

Saying that Akira showed him the legal papers which had been given by Raymond when he had met her in the car.

David held the legal paper and read a few lines and said,

"Do not worry about this. Whatever he is doing is for your own good only. Just understand this part."

Taking a deep breath Akira said,

"Come on David, what is this going on? Why he has to hide what he is doing? At least you can tell me, right? Maybe I can help him with the stuff that he is attempting to do", saying that she looked at David all hopefully.

"Well were you not trying to do something behind his back just a few minutes ago, requesting me to figure out the reason before he did and to reveal it to you?", saying that David smiled at her.

"But this is different. I was doing this to protect him."

"Then maybe he has the same reasons Akira", saying that David got up from his seat.

He held the file and the papers in his hands and said,

"I am going to give these documents to the legal department and will inform them about your opinion and then we are going to give a call to Vikram's team. I think it would be better if you do the informing Vikram part. He won't be able to say no to you."

Then he left for the door exit but before that, he turned back and said,

"Have faith in him Akira. He is way more mature than his age. He will handle everything for you. Just have faith in him and a little bit of faith in me. We will not let you down in any way."

Saying that he exited from the main door while she kept glancing in his direction.
