A: Ah hello how you doing?

B: cool. So, how is the new job?

A: Good. I heard you too have left “alpha” ?

B: Ya man! It was getting too much….you know very well…..

A: Ya man! but I hope the new place is good.

B: its just the same man! but well I get paid more….so, I can bear it.

A: same here…..in touch with anyone from “ alpha” ?

B: Not exactly, but keep meeting people off and on ……

A: ( looks around) any news of “ X” ?

B: oh she got married.

A: really! The same guy?

B: no ya…he dumped her and she married some other guy!

A: ( relieved) Oh! That is sad! Where is she now?

B: In Singapore or so….not sure. Did you hear about “Y”
