"…and with that we'll manage to increase sales by 30% within the next month or so. Meeting dismissed. Thank you ladies and gentlemen, for your valued time and patience."
I packed my papers and iPad and left the meeting room heading upstairs to my office. When I reached Pepp he stood up, and walked to me.
"Sir, we've received an email from Dupia claiming they stopped their child labor and are asking to buy from their cocoa again."
"Sounds like a lie, anyways send someone to check if their claims are true or not."
"Very well, sir."
As I walked into my office and settled down my phone buzzed, I pulled it out to read a short text from my best friend Fiona,
"Gumball!
Meetcha at Buttercups 2morow 1! XP "
I smiled and made sure to free up my schedule for tomorrow.

"GUMBALL!" Fiona waved from her seat enthusiastically when I entered the Café next morning.
"Good afternoon Fi." I greeted taking a seat across from her.
"Man! I thought you'd ditch me!"
"why would you think that?"
"Because I texted you out of the blue I guess? Without checking with your schedule."
"Nonsense Fi, even if I had a meeting I'd ditch it to see you."
"thanks." She laughed, "Oh, here. A bag of fine tea all the way from Thailand!"
"Thank you Fi! Cant wait to taste it." I said feeling delighted.
She giggled, "You know, when I was in Japan I happened to hear a very interesting myth."
"Really?" I said while opening up the package and sniffing the tea. Mmm~ smells good!
"Yup!" She nodded then took a sip from her cold drink "Wanna hear it?"
"Enlighten me." I said when a waiter placed a cup of steaming red tea beside me
"It is said that at birth two people connected by the red string are destined lovers, regardless of place, time, or circumstances. This magical cord may stretch or tangle, but never break" She said, gazing out the window with a dreamy look
I stared at her, not sure what's she's implying. "D-do you believe in it? The red string?"
"When I first heard it I immediately thought of you and Marshall. You guys are so fated for each –"
"Fiona please, Marshall and I are over."
"I don't believe you."
"Huh?"
"Do you remember what you told me 11 years ago? You said that you believed in the love between you and Marshall, you said that there wasn't anything in this whole world that would make you fall out of love with him, that you and Marshall are forever and ever."
"That was back then; things are very different now-"
"How?! How is then different from now?!" she argued
"Did Marshall send you?" I snapped feeling annoyed
"Does it matter?"
"Yes it does. I told Marshall to leave me alone. Did he send you to-"
