Raymond's gaze was fixed on her and some sort of mischief was lurking in his eyes. The moment she looked up and returned his gaze, he felt like he was getting lost in some unknown lands. So he decided to focus on his laptop. His heart was already racing like it was being chased by some unknown force.
He had stopped her randomly because his heart didn't want to allow her to go with Simon, but he was at loss of words. He didn't know what to discuss with her. But he had to say something quickly and something meaningful as well so that Akira would not think that he had stopped her just like that.
"Actually I just wanted to check if you are settled and everything is OK with you. Anyway we have a meeting post lunch where we can discuss everything, but just in case you have anything in your mind, you can let me know", he said and kept pretending that he was working on something on his laptop in parallel, to avoid looking at her.
