LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 36: Chapter 36
As Alex settled into his new routine, he took a moment to appreciate the environment surrounding him. He lived in Riverbend, a cozy town situated about forty miles from Lakeside City. Riverbend was known for its tranquil rivers, lush parks, and a close-knit community that thrived on a laid-back lifestyle. The scenic beauty of the town contrasted with the bustling energy of Lakeside City, where skyscrapers pierced the skyline, and the hum of innovation filled the air.
The drive from Riverbend to Lakeside City was scenic, winding along the banks of the Blue River and offering breathtaking views of the countryside. Alex often found this drive therapeutic, allowing him to gather his thoughts before diving into the fast-paced world of crypto trading. He would often listen to podcasts or audiobooks during his commute, soaking in knowledge that fueled both his trading strategies and personal growth.
He couldn't help but wonder about the changes in his life and the connections he still had in Lakeside City. During his college days, Alex had formed friendships with several classmates, some of whom had chosen to settle in the vibrant city after graduation. He recalled Megan, a spirited friend known for her quick wit and charm. She had landed a job at a tech startup in Lakeside City and often shared updates about her experiences navigating the competitive landscape.
Alex remembered the camaraderie they had shared during late-night study sessions and group projects. He thought it might be a good idea to reach out to her, not only to catch up but also to explore potential collaborations or advice about the trading world.
As for Lisa, her new life in Horizon Bay—a city located even closer to Lakeside City—offered its own blend of excitement and opportunity. Horizon Bay was known for its booming tech scene, particularly in software development and digital marketing. Alex had heard snippets of her adventures through mutual friends but hadn't connected with her directly in months. He felt a pang of nostalgia thinking about their shared memories, but he also respected her need for space and growth.
While contemplating his past connections, Alex sat down one evening to draft a message to Megan.
"Hey, Megan! It's been a while! I hope everything is going well with you. I've recently started a consulting position with CryptoSphere Solutions and thought it'd be great to catch up. Would love to hear about your journey and any insights you might have about the Lakeside tech scene. Let's grab coffee sometime!"
After hitting send, he felt a wave of excitement mixed with apprehension. Reconnecting with old friends had always been a bit daunting, but he knew that these relationships were valuable. Just as he finished composing the message, a notification popped up on his phone—Megan had replied.
"Alex! So great to hear from you! I'd love to catch up. Coffee sounds perfect. Let's do it this week!"
As he read her enthusiastic response, Alex felt a renewed sense of connection. Not only did he have an opportunity to rekindle friendships, but he also had the chance to expand his network in Lakeside City, which could be invaluable for his consulting role at CryptoSphere Solutions.
