*tring tring *

The door opened to a shocked Sally.Well she didn't expect this, soon it turned into a happy face.

"wel well are you not welcoming me " Lily teased her .

"oh my dear friend what a pleasant surprise" Sally teased back and hugged her.

" ok ok let's get in Lily" Sally finally let go and ushered Lily in.

On entering Lily was a bit surprised. She was welcomed with an unexpected interior. All she saw was pink and white except for the little things there was no other colour.

She looked over Sally who gave her a 'what' look.

" Your style has changed_ a lot" she added after a pause.

"u hmmm" Sally nodded with a sad look.

Sally had already prepared the drinks and soon handed over.

They sat down for the talk.

...****************...

"and don't forget to board the earliest flight" Mrs Austy Lily's mother talked over the phone.

She has been talking about her going home once the vacation starts. This time Lily got annoyed but she does know that her mother really cared about her.

"ok mom good nite" Lily replied.

"good night " Mrs Austy replied.

Talking about her vacation Lily really doesn't get a good feeling about it. She remembered Sally mentioning about Jackson.

She shudder at the thought of meeting him again.

...;flashback;...

At Sally's house this afternoon

" You know that 'Queri ' that designing company" Sally asked .

Lily nodded with much disappointment. She had always wanted to be at the company.

Queri was really influential having reputation internationally and was as of now the best designing company in the nation.

She was sure of her capability but she lacks confidence, failing the interview.

"I heard MJC is buying it " Sally continued

This time Lily was really shocked "wasn't that Jackson's company. " she blurted out.

"yes" Sally nodded looking at Lily intently."I heard they are moving their base here"

Lily sighed to herself.Its been seven years . She thought she had long forgotten him but today she proved it wrong.

Right now she had that mixed emotion, she was 16 then and well she can kind of sort out her feelings .

But she wasn't sure then whether it was a like or the habit of liking him since the first time she saw him but when she heard about those rumors she was sad.

She has never felt that way before , it was not good .Before she could sort them out, he just left. Without any goodbyes or safe wishes.

Those memories were sweet but still they were sad too.

She had never heard from him. She had heard that he had been involved in the business of the MJC when she had first applied for her job when she was 21 .

Since then she had not heard about him.

She was just too busy with her job, she was busying herself with her studies and work so she would forget about it all.

She did hid them in the deepest part of her memory hoping to just forget it all but just his name made her troubled.

"seems like i should add more colour to it " she finally focused herself back to her work.

After her failed interview at the main company, she applied for one of the branches of Queri. She finally got in after two tries and just settled herself the year before.

In just a year she became a manager in group B of the designing area.

She had been working hard and had been diligent. Swift and decisive and that's one of the reasons her group has been given the project for the " Queri Design March" .

Tis the once in a year competition of the branches of Queri. Its main aim is to find capable employees fit to join the main company.

Many those who can't get in through interview or miss the chance can now have a chance.

The top ten most fit amony the hundreds of competitors would be allowed in.

This a golden chance for Lily, she was really into it not wanting to miss the chance.

The thing is ,right now she really can't focus anymore.

Her mind occupied by the thoughts of him.

Why move here?

Thinking about it she did think it was not that surprising. City X is by far the best place for any MNC's due to its best facilities. It is the best choice for any business related.

Just that starting its business by buying up the most reknown company was just a bold move.

Lily shook her head.

"Just get off my head" she shouted to herself like a maniac.

...****************...

At the Stains manor in City Hype

"this is all the information sir " a man in a black-suit put over a stack of files ona table beside a man who was facing the back, sitting on a chair.

The room was little dark and the only light was the lamp beside the bed, emitting a faint orange glow.

"you can leave, " the man replied coldly.

The other man bowed as he went away with a 'whoosh'.

His footsteps was light and within a second he was nowhere to be seen.

The man on the chair turned as he stare at the files. Under the darkness his emotions can't be discern.

Soon he picked the files up with his hands.

He had those slender and long fingers like one of those models.

He flipped through a page when he stopped to rub through the picture attached to it.

He close it and stand up walking to the balcony. He had a cigarette in his hand and with a flick of the lighter the cigarette starting burning.

The moon was at its brightest. It shone bright which made the stars near it to be invisible.

The man took a puff of the cigarette releasing lots of smoke. He was just about to take another puff but pause to look at the cigarette.

He then throw it away.

Standing in the balcony with those expressionless eyes he looked like an immortal with no emotions provided his looks. He had an attractive silhouette with broad shoulders.

" See you soon" he finally let out those words and went back with a smirk.
