Suzie's POV

It's been almost a month here in Maldives and I am enjoying it. I wanted to visit here from a very long time and finally I came. It's just beautiful. Beautiful spots, beaches, wonderful people. Everything is amazing. I don't want to leave it yet, but it is time for a new assignment. Taylor has found a new prey, he says it's an individual task and I can do it very easily, but nothing is easy. He has all the information; I just need to meet him, get the details and act accordingly.

David and Emma are going on different assignments or have gone or not, I don't know, I don't care, its none of my business. I have always kept myself at an emotional distance from the 3 of them, after all, we are here only for ourselves.

To become a successful con artist, I have learnt many things over a period of time that includes people skills, manipulation, deceive, cheating, face changing, self-defense, computer skills, language skills, making passports, etc

To become a successful con artist, I have learnt many things over a period of time that includes people skills, manipulation, deceive, cheating, face changing, self-defense, computer skills, language skills, making passports, etc. and helped myself in making my missions successful.

I am just waiting now for a perfect life partner, with whom I can settle down and leave everything behind. I have to meet Taylor in Austin to learn about the new assignment and before that I need to visit my mother for a couple of days.

Saanvi's POV

It's almost a year and I still don't have any information on Riley's whereabouts. My professional life is going well. I left my job few months back and since then I have been working as a freelance Business Analyst/ Consultant and making good money. I am going to Kansas City tomorrow to meet client and I have an early morning flight.

"Ms. Goyal, I am Shaun Clarke from Banana Corporations, thanks for meeting in person and in such short notice." Said Mr. Clarke. "Pleasure is mine Mr. Clarke." I said. "Please have a seat. What would you like to have?" said Clarke.

We discussed the case and I told him that it can be solved. I told him the time frame and cost for the project. "The cost is not a concern Ms. Goyal, we are fine with it, but we do have one request." Said Clarke. "What is it?" I asked. "Our boss wants the person to carry out this job at the office, now I know that you work freelance and all, but this is it." said Clarke.

I thought for a minute, it's been long that I haven't gone out of Chicago, a little scenery change would be nice. "I see. Mr. Clarke, in that case, I need you to arrange for my accommodation and also, the cost will increase." I said. "Everything has been done Ms. Goyal. As I told you earlier, money is not a problem. We have rented an apartment for you, a car is waiting for you outside to pick you up and will be with you except the driver, consider it yours till you are here. And here is the cheque for the initial payment." Said Mr. Clarke "It looks like you came prepared. So, we start form Monday." I said.

We were done with the meeting by noon and after that I left in the car given to me by Clarke. It was a big studio. I got changed into comfy clothes and slept till the evening.

The same evening, I went to a bar to get few drinks. I was sitting on a chair and having my drinks. A man was sitting on another and then a girl came and sat on the adjacent chair and ordered a vodka, I didn't see her face clearly.

Girl: Hi. Give me a pint of the cheapest domestic beer you have.

Man: Very decisive. Barman, give her the same Vodka Martini I am having and put it on my tab.

The bartender served her Vodka Martini and the girl finished it immediately.

Girl: Look, I don't date men, especially married men, so thanks for the drink, I needed it and try somewhere else.

The man sat for a minute and then left.

Girl: Now, please give me the cheapest domestic beer you have.

Saanvi: Well, that was a nice way to dismiss him. (I don't know what happened to me to start a conversation with her.)

Girl: I am not in the mood of talking, besides what I said to him was true. So please, enjoy your drink and let me do mine.

Saanvi: I am sorry mam. (I got up from the chair and walked to a table away from the girl. I asked the bartender to bring a bottle of Vodka to my table, along with some nachos and fries.)

Music was playing at a nice volume which will not disturb anyone while talking and also let one enjoy it. Few minutes later, a waiter came with a bottle of Vodka, nachos, fries. I picked up a glass which was already on the table and poured some Vodka in it.

I was enjoying my drinks, food and music, when suddenly a girl came on my table. I looked at her closely with a questionable face. 

The girl was looking very beautiful in her outfit

The girl was looking very beautiful in her outfit. She looked at me and said, "I am sorry for earlier there. I shouldn't have talked to you like that." said the girl genuinely. "It's okay. No problem, I understand that sometime people just have bad time and they want to be alone. I am like that most of the time. So, no hard feelings." I said to which she had a small smile on her face.

"You around from here?" asked the girl. "No. I am not. Why are you asking?" I said. "Your accent is different." Said the girl. "I am Saanvi by the way." I said and forwarded my hands for a handshake. I am Olivia." She said and we shake our hands, they were very soft. We both didn't say anything for a minute and then she said, "Well it was nice to meet you Saanvi, I should go back."
