"Crystal, could you please pick me up from the Airport? I will arrive tomorrow afternoon, and I don't like using cabs. I don't feel safe at all," Akira whimpered, nearly crying.
She didn't mention that she would be flying back with her older brother, James.
"But..." Crystal was prepared to decline at the moment.
Although they had become closer in the last week, they had been conversing over Facetime, which she still didn't think was appropriate given that Akira was their president's sister.
She did not want her coworker to assume she had a brown nose.
Akira is adamant that Crystal pick her up, though, or else...--She will carry the guilt of whatever happens to her for the rest of her life.
In other words, Crystal caved and agreed to get her at the appointed time.
Akira ended the call with a smug expression as she considered her plan.
