The perks of dating a brainiac

After a while, Anya was rescued from Yuzuru by a knock on the door. His mum announcing that the breakfast is ready.

They all sat down together to eat and Yumi did most of the talking, explaining to Yuzuru how the negotiations are going. He translated some bits here and there to Anya, but she again seemed lost in her own world. His mum was now much nicer to her, but Anya could still feel her analyzing look on her as if she would be wondering what does her son see in this quiet girl.

As soon as Anya was finished with her food, she thanked Yumi and went to Yuzurus's room.
He followed her shortly after just to find her sitting again on the floor, her back against the wall and her knees pulled to her chin.
Yuzuru kneeled down in front of her, a concerned look on his face.

-Are you okay, Anya?

-Yes. But can you please leave me be for a moment, I am trying to think....

-About what?

-Stuff.

Yuzuru sighed.

-You sure you are okay?

She looked up at him, an agitated look in her eyes. Yuzuru decided to back off and sat on the bed, still watching Anya.
She rested her forehead on her knees to avoid his look and was just quietly sitting there like this for several minutes. Yuzuru was contemplating about what's going on but not daring to disturb her.

Anya then raised her head again, but her look seemed distant as if she was looking through Yuzuru and not at him. Then she just mumbled for herself.

-Let's go through it one more time.

Anya closed her eyes and started to unbraid and braid again the ends of her hair, Yuzuru now slightly terrified.

Once done, she got up and reached for her phone on the desk. Yuzuru didn't dare to ask what's going on. He always credited her quietness to her shy personality but right now she looked like she was on a mission and her silence and slow, calculated movements were making Yuzuru slightly afraid of her.

She dialed somebody on the phone and started to leave the room, Yuzuru hearing only the start of the conversation, not daring to follow her.

-Hey Jason.... it's me, Anya....
-....You still hate Rachel, right?....
-....And you remember you still owe me, right?....
-....good. Then cancel your plans for today....

And with that, she was already out of earshot.
Yuzuru started to guess what she was thinking about earlier, and a slight worry over Rachel's life crossed his mind.

After what seemed like an eternity she came back to the room and sat down on the bed next to him.

-Will you tell me now what's going on?

-I am not done yet.

She said and again dialed somebody on the phone.

-Privyet Viktor! Kak dela?

Yuzuru didn't understand the rest of the conversation as it was in Russian. Only that she spoke with some guy named Viktor.
Was she planning to hire a Russian hitman on Rachel?

After a while, she ended the call and turned to Yuzuru.

-Why on earth do you look like you gonna have a heart attack?!

-Anya, I hate Rachel too, but....whatever you are planning....don't.

Anya started to laugh uncontrollably, lying on the bed and trying to catch a breath.

-Yu-zu-ruuu

-Yeah?

-You can be---so silly----sometimes....
