No, you reply with a smug grin, quite the opposite, actually!
The heiress raises an eyebrow.
It wasn’t easy, you shrug, but you did it! Mina’s eye widens as if you’d just told her she’d won the lottery!
“Th-the evidence?” She stammers with uncharacteristic shock in her voice! Damn right, you nod, on both her <span class="mu-s">CAMERA</span> <span class="mu-i">AND</span> <span class="mu-s">PHONE!</span>
“I…” Mutters the Class Prez, “You’re <span class="mu-i">certain</span>?”
You checked. <span class="mu-i">Twice</span>. She gets the picture, no pun intended!
Mina’s stiff posture relaxes a bit as she processes what you’re telling her. “This…” She begins before quickly regaining her composure, “You’ve… you’ve done <span class="mu-i">very</span> well, Diesel… I don’t relish being incorrect, but in this case I’ll happily admit it!”
A faint smile forms on the girl’s face along with a hint of redness in her cheeks. Now <span class="mu-i">that’s</span> something you’d like evidence of!
“I don’t know what you did to convince her, but I greatly appreciate your assistance in the matter…” she adds as she brushes some of her bangs out of her face. “As I’m sure you’re keenly aware by now, it’s not easy to negotiate with that one…”
What can I say, you shrug! You’re just special!
“<span class="mu-i">Clearly</span>.” The heiress nods with a singular laugh. “Is it safe to assume, then, that you have the <span class="mu-s">EMAIL</span> for me?”
Your mirth quickly fades away as you process her request. The uh…
“Did you save it?” She repeats as she leans in closer. “You were going to show it to me.”
