This work delves into the internal monologue of the narrator, Alex, who is disillusioned with society and its superficial values. Alex observes the people around him, Serena, Samantha, Nate, and others as they chase meaningless goals like career success, personal escape, or validation from others. Despite seeing through these societal lies, Alex realizes that he too is trapped in the same system. He criticizes the emptiness of their pursuits but acknowledges that he's still playing along, pretending to care while being shaped by the very system he despises. Ultimately, it's a reflection on the futility of trying to escape societal expectations, even when you're aware of their hollowness.

Will there be a second chance for them when they meet again 9 years later? A story about chasing dreams, friendship and love.... "A love story that will make you swoon. Definitely a fun, entertaining and feel-good read. " - A Reader's Comment Excerpts: 1) I saw her hug one of the guys in that department and kissed him on the cheek. I don't really deal a lot with our employees. I am mostly either inside my office or in the boardroom conducting meetings, so I do not even know who this guy she is smitten with. Just seeing her do that caused a twinge of jealousy inside me. I barely know this girl and yet, she is making me feel something I have not felt before. 2) I gave him a dagger look and tried to get away from his hold, but he did not let me. Instead, he put both his arms around my waist and pulled me closer to him. Our faces are just inches away from each other. He was looking at me intently. My heart is beating so fast. I feel like I am going to melt from his gaze. "I am just messing with you. I am sorry. Forget about what I said. Just dance with me. For old time's sake." He smiled at me. I continued to look him straight in the eyes. "Why did I ever leave this amazing man in front of me?" I asked myself regretfully. I set aside all my inhibitions and placed both my arms around his neck. Even just for tonight, I will enjoy this moment. I rested my head on his shoulder and nuzzled my face on his neck. I hope we can stay like this forever.Complete
