Chapitre 55: Admitting Mistakes

"I still can't believe you're giving me another exclusive!" Ceruty exulted.

"Is that all we are for you? An exclusive?" Aki argued.

She spoke to Ceruty through her glasses and let us hear her by turning on the speakers. Aki sat in front of me on the other side of my desk in the office, while Aya and Tomokazu sat at their desks.

"Aki," I scowled.

She glanced at me and her frown lightened. "Sorry."

"It's fine," Ceruty replied. "I'm sure it's obvious I do this to be the center of attention, but you guys helped me a lot, so I'll do anything I can to help you back, even if it's not something that will attract attention."

I doubt saying that will help Aki calm down.

"Anyway," Ceruty continued. "There's one minute left, I'll leave so you can relax because you know I won't hold back with the questions. I'll resume the call ten seconds before starting."

"Sure," Aki replied.
