"I bought it for a few minutes so I can have a quiet conversation with you. Don't worry, I also took care of the CCTV." She said and I couldn't help but scoff. Whatever she wants to say must be pretty illegal..."How long has it been? Nine years? It's really good to see you again Lucia. You look much more matured and way prettier than I last remembered." She said smilingly and I rolled my eyes away. She didn't change, still really slender with her mother's brunette hair although I noticed she dyed some part of it to blonde.
