"Another year is going to end still we managed to keep our first place as the 'Most popular brand' over the year. And I thank all of those hard workers whose work made our brand quality full and popular. Also, thank you all for joining us at this meeting, and remember 'No matter what we don't negotiate on trading quality full products'."

Everyone started clapping as I finished my speech. It's another achievement for our brand. Those who had doubts about our brand are now purchasing products from us. Now that's what I call an achievement. It was the last grand meeting for this year. Because from the next week my company will get off days till the 2nd January of next year. After that meeting, I have one more meeting with the other buyer companies to talk over the forthcoming deals. After that maybe I'll be able to call it a day. I was telling my assistant what role he has to play in the next meeting when suddenly my phone vibrated in my pocket. As I saw the caller id I was kind of shocked because it's been years since I got a call or a text from this one. As I received the call to greet the person on the other line of the call the person said,

"Hello, Sucker. it's been a while, isn't it?"

I chuckled a bit because he sounded as funny as he used to be. Then I answered,

"Well, it took you 4 years to understand that, Leo."

He laughed at my answer and said,

"Yeah. Just got back from the UK the day before yesterday. you available tomorrow?"

"May I know why?"

"You forgot? Let me remind you, Tomorrow is 15 November."

"So?"

"Dude seriously? It's Alviya's birthday tomorrow. Duh!"

"Oh, I forgot about that. Tell me where the birthday party will be held on. I'll be there on time."

"Oh, Gosh! Dude, what are you?"

"The CEO of the BLUE brand."

"Hell with your brand. Listen to me, I have planned to throw a surprise party for her tomorrow."

"You and your stupid mind. Alviya is a famous model. Maybe she has already planned her birthday party. And what if she's working overseas?"

"You don't watch News, don't you?"

"When do I get the time to look away from the business chart?"

"Okay listen carefully, I've already contracted the others and told them about the plan. You were the only one left and I couldn't get to you earlier. Anyways here's the plan, Alviya likes to spend time with her family and friends on her birthday, and the whole week she stays out of her professional life. So I asked, Ariba, to tell Alviya that she has to meet Ariba at 'Cafe Dreamland' because she had arranged a small party for Alviya. Alviya doesn't know about Me, Alex, Atiya, Ivy and you will be there too. So she'll be surprised and we'll be able to do a meet up too. So are you coming or not?"

"Hold on a sec, where's this 'Cafe Dreamland'? I've never heard of that place before."

"Because it's a newly opened cafe here. And we are going to be the first ones to book it for celebrating Alviya's birthday. Even if this place is new I can promise you that there will be no paparazzi and the food quality will be the best."

"We'll see about that. what time?"

"I thought you were the CEO of the famous brand 'BLUE'."

"You thought right. And I always have time for my friends."

"Okay see yah tomorrow at 11 am then."

"See you."

After ending the call I thought, Leo has mentioned everyone but her. Maybe he wasn't able to reach her. Well, she was the one to shut us all out. so there's nothing we can do about it. I still remember those 11th and 12th-grade days. Those were unforgettable gifts for me.
