A young lady in her early twenties, with long blue hair, grey colored eyes, a small pointed nose and violet lips,is standing by a stall in the mall. She looks around expressionless and a young man also in his early twenties, approaches her from behind and speaks.
"Miss Day. If I didn't see with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe it. You've really grown from when I last saw you. But your face is still very much the same."
"You know who I am, but do I know you?" She asked, not even bothering to face him.
"Wow Siara, you've really changed." Hearing this statement, the voice sounded really familiar.
"O... Ozone‽" She exclaimed as she turned to look at him.

"The one and only." He said smiling. She gave a slight smile, and he could tell, she wasn't the same person he knew from childhood.
"It's been so long. What like 7... 9 years".

"12 years exactly."

"Oh wow, I didn't realize it has been that long.
Well, if you're not busy now, how about we catch up over coffee ☕, on me."

"Sure." She said nonchalantly"but, I pay for myself."

"No c'mon, I'm the guy. Let me pay. I..."

"I insist." Diara interrupted him before he could finish speaking. He lifted his hands in defeat and they got into the car and left to the coffee shop.
As they got into the car he said to her
"I can see why you're still single." She let out a cold giggle and said

"Oh, and why is that??"

"Simple, you're too domineering." He said shaking his head.

At the coffee shop

"So Sia, tell me. How have you been?"

"I've been okay. Finished schooling and I'm well settled. I teach at a high school, and I also work as an exec secretary for a small firm."

"Wow, that's great. How's mom and dad?"

"Dead."

"Oh, I'm so sorry, I didn't know."

"Yeah well there's a lot you don't know. You moved away for a really long time and never kept in touch."

"I'm sorry Sia, I couldn't do anything about it."

"Yeah. I know."

"You've really changed a lot."

"Yeah well, a lot has happened." She said as she took the last sip of her coffee. "Well anyways, enough about me. Tell me about you."

"Well, I finished tech school. I also own my own company. Sione (see-own) group. Sure you've heard about it."

"Yes I have."

"Well yeah, that's me. I actually haven't been here I just came in a few days back. I'll be here for a week before going back. I hope to see you again sometime."

"Sure." She said as she picked up an incoming call. She just answered mhmm then hung up.

"There's an issue that requires my presence at the company. We'll keep in touch." She said as she stood up.

"Uhh, sure. Nice seeing you. Say hi to Dinah for me."

"Same. Will do." She answered as she walked away in elegant strides.

Ozone couldn't help but wonder why she had changed so much.

As soon as she left the coffee shop, a black sedan, pulled up in front of her and she got in.

"Ma'am, we have the Hilton group and the Everglaze enterprise seeking a meeting with you in person".

"Tell them I'm unavailable."

"But boss, we need to cooperate with them. It'll help our company."

"Need I remind you that D² group doesn't need to cooperate with anyone. Our group is at the top of the economic ladder. Others need us."

"Yes, Ma'am...umm...also, you... You have an invitation to go clubbing tomorrow. Saturday."

"If it's one of the boards or a prospective client, then I decline."

"Umm, actually it's from..." Just as she's about to call the name, Miango, Siara's college Best Friend calls her.

"Let me guess, Mia?"

"Yes." Zina her assistant says and sighs.
She rolls her eyes and she picks up the call.
"What do you want Mia?" She asked with annoyance clear in her voice

"You, me, the girls, clubbing next Friday night."

"No." She answered abruptly.
