As they reached the City Council, Akira was still grumpy. So she didn't even wait for Raymond to come and open the door for her.
After getting out of the car she looked at Raymond and said,
"You are not allowed to touch me today. Hmmphhh...."
"Are you sure?"
"A hundred and one percent".
"But I can bet that in just a couple of hours you will be the one kissing me first".
"Oh please. Not even my pinky finger would like to kiss you", Akira said and stormed upstairs towards the inquiry.
"We will see about that", mumbled Raymond and followed her upstairs.
At a distance of around fifty feet, an Aston Martin was parked with all black tinted windows screened up. The driver saw Raymond and said,
"Sir he has reached".
He shifted his gaze from the newspaper and looked outside.

Katherine and Shawn had already arrived before them and David was also there as Katherine had specially invited him.
"What took you guys so long", Katherine asked looking at Raymond and Akira.
