Catching up (1)

I was having a fantastic day in Serina's apartment.

We shared a meal on the rooftop terrace and spoke about everything and anything while catching up.

I was fascinated to hear what Serina did in the last few years.

She told me that she finished her college online and that Aldus is teaching her about business and chemistry so that she can help him at Notte Pharmaceuticals; not only in leadership but also in coming up with new products. In addition to that, she learned several languages and took dancing lessons, and she picked up painting as a hobby.

Serina is beyond amazing.

"Can you paint me?", I asked, and my curiosity was piqued when she squirmed uncomfortably. "What are you hiding?"

She got her phone and unlocked it before handing it to me.
