She saw him leave and she knew that it was indeed something urgent, or else he wouldn't have left her in this completely vulnerable state. She wanted to know what was so important, but by now she had understood that he would only reveal when the time was right. So taking a deep breath, she continued washing herself up.
After finishing her bath, she came back and opened her laptop.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
Somehow the fact that the bartender had mistaken her for Dr. Nelson's wife was still protruding somewhere at the back of her head. She had ignored it till now thinking that he might have seen them together while coming back from the medical conference, but out of curiosity, she started searching for images of her wife.
As a search result, she found different images of Dr. Nelson and his friends but nowhere she could find the image of his wife. Then she found a blog which was written by a friend of Alita, about her journey and her pain. It was sort of an obituary from her side and there she found that since Dr. Nelson had given out all her medical records and details to public for help in research and analysis for other doctors, he had requested for her anonymity in some other way.
He had removed all sources of any sort of images of her from the web. He had taken down her picture from many sites using DMCA notices. The whole journey of Dr. Nelson and Alita was present in that blog.
She read it and took a deep breath before running into the arms of sleep.

The next morning as she got up, with the light filling the room with its brightness, the first thing that she did was to hold her locket all tenderly in her arms and whispered,
"Morning love !!!"
She didn't know if he heard her, but she didn't care, she was just happy being able to express herself. After yesterday had happened, she was sure of one thing, that her man would risk anything, literally anything just to make her happy for five minutes.
She unlocked her phone and checked her messages and there was an instant smile on her face.
"Sorry for that super unplanned and immediate exit. I promise to make it up for it." - PRIVARE_NUMBER
"More power to you for today. You make me proud," -?PRIVARE_NUMBER
Seeing his messages, the first thing in the morning, uplifted her mood like anything. She scrolled down and found a message from Dr. Nelson too.
"I will call Raymond today. Let's see if I can ask him to visit me tomorrow." - Dr. Nelson
A sense of relief was spread inside of hers after reading Dr. Nelson's message. He had promised her a day before that he would help, but still, she wasn't sure if he would because she was scared that someone or something might change his mind considering the amount of risk involved in the process.
That message from him brightened the ray of hope inside of hers. Now all that she had to do was to wait for Raymond to get persuaded.
Taking a deep breath, she got up from her bed.
Today she wanted to dress up to kill. Afterall Vikram was coming to her office to get the new deal signed. She had to poach him straight into the deal, without giving any access to his legal team before she got that signature from him.
After finishing her morning routine, she wore her body-hugging knee-length pencil skirt and paired it with an almost see-through white blouse. Then she wore a grey jacket on to complete her ensemble and drove herself to the office.
The time was around 11 am when she got a call from Vikram.
"Hey, Akira !"
"Hello, Vikram !"
"I am on my way to your office and I will be reaching there in another fifteen minutes," he said, looking at his watch.
"Oh super. The files are ready and waiting for you to sign them."
"Brilliant !!!"
"But come fast, I am extremely hungry. Had to skip breakfast today. Let's go out someplace nice to eat after the documents are signed."
"Then the documents can wait. Let me take you out for a brunch first."
Hearing his blatant eagerness to dine with her, Akira bit her lips in anger and then said,
"Oh, so you are going to make us wait for funds even more. That's an evil plan."
Unable to gauge the level of deception, a clueless Vikram chuckled and said,
"Oh fine !!! Don't pout un-necessarily. I will sign the deal quickly and take you out for lunch. Happy?"
The deal wasn't going to work the way he wanted to. He was unable to add the clauses that he wanted to, but he was still happy thinking about the fact that this deal would bring them even closer. A smile spread on his face as he drove through the busy streets of Brooklyn.
