“Are you nervous?” I asked even though I guessed that that probably wasn’t the case.
“Me? Of course, not…” Ace replied dismissively.
“That’s good, I guess. I’m really hoping that everything would go well. We’ve put in so much effort and time into this…” I said as I started to feel nervous instead.
Why wasn’t Ace getting to the point just like he always used to? It felt like he had something to tell me. Why else would he pull me into a private meeting room just when the press conference was about to start like this?
“Rina…” Ace called my name softly.
“Yes?” I replied in such a soft whisper that I almost couldn’t hear myself.
