Ryder dropped her at home before he headed back to his office after bidding each other goodbye.
"Grandma.. Grandma",Akai shouted in excitement as she entered her house.
She quickly changed her heels with slippers before running to Grace.
"Why is my granddaughter calling me?"Grace came out from her room.
"Grandma you can't believe that..."she started to say, but her words trailed off as she struggled to contain her excitement.
"Can't believe what dear?"Grace asked.
"That I won ...the second prize in the competition."Akai shared the news.
She grabbed Grace's hands and twirled her around the room.
"I'm so thrilled for you, Akai!" Grace exclaimed, beaming with pride as she saw Akai's excitement.
"I was so nervous, Grandma," Akai admitted. "The judges were all prominent figures in the art world. I thought my work wouldn't measure up."
