"What are you thinking?" I ask him.
"You really want to know?" He replies in a voice so dark and full of warning it sends a shiver down my spine.
"Yes." I say, being utterly brave.
A small smirk lifts the corner of his lips as he walks towards me...

Emara.. Stubborn like a cat.
I couldn't help but smile, watching her from afar, knowing she is sitting there probably glaring at me.
I am pretty sure by now she might have figured out that my speech was aimed at her.
Being subtle is not my style.
I prefer to go full throttle, straight to the point. No tip-toeing around.
"Also, I forgot to mention." I lean into the mic, because why stop the craziness now?
"Our company HighBars System is arranging a round for the fresh graduates from Computer Science branch. Interested students can contact the team, or me."
Lies.
Well, not entirely.
It's just I haven't discussed this with my team yet, and they will be as surprised as the students in the hall. Except they won't be happy and cheering, like the ones in front of me.
I give the crowd a smile and depart away, where the Director and other faculties are standing.
"That was a great speech you choose for today, Dakota. Very inspiring for the youth." One of them said.
"It was my pleasure, sir. Anything for the college and students." I reply with a polite smile.
Honestly, my real reason for being here has nothing to do with these students or this ceremony. It's all about her.
The one who blocked me from her life, the one I couldn't get out of my head, the one who slipped through my fingers.
I was such an idiot. I had seven days to make her fall for me, seven nights to show her I have been in love with her for the past three years.
And under the influence of my revengeful personality, I fucked it up so bad.
But it's okay. I am here to fix that.
Even if I have to bend the knee, I will win her back.
I request the Director to let me hand the degrees for Computer and Science branch, just so I could have a little talk with interested students in AI about our Internship program.
Total lies..
But like they say, everything is fair in love and war.
I might have crossed all my limits when it came to getting my revenge on her, and now, I see no boundaries when it comes to winning her heart.
And I know she doesn't want me, but a man can always beg. Right?
