531 THE INSENSITIVE MAN

Minister Shimada looked at Akira. 

"I am counting on you. Once this crisis is over, we can conclude the issue we were discussing earlier." She hinted with delicate subtlety. 

Akira knew that the minister was implying that she would not make things difficult for her if she helped her overcome the crisis. She kept her face neutral and nodded at the older woman. She already planned to do her best, but she would not say no to being owed. 

"I will deal with other issues for now. If you have any problems, reach out to me. For now, I cannot deal with your clearance level." Minister Shimada added as she put a card with her private number in Akira's hand. 

Akira felt like the woman was worrying too much. "Go ahead and deal with your business."
