Billionaire’s Lost Angel

Lotus awoke early the next morning and changed into her yoga outfit. Then she took a yoga mat to the garden. Yoga had always helped her to relax. It had been her daily routine for the previous four years. She couldn’t help but notice the balcony where she had seen the stranger the night before. Strangely, she felt a connection with that man. She pushed all of this aside and began her yoga practice.

Lotus’s eyes were closed as she became aware that someone was watching her. When she opened her eyes, she was greeted by a handsome face. A handsome man stood across from her on the balcony of the villa. She felt nervous in the presence of his gaze. As a result, she left the garden.

Peter had become engrossed in his memories of four years ago. Even though he was drugged that night, he recalls her angelic face. Except for today, he had never seen anyone who resembled her in the previous four years. It was early morning when he awoke today, but he didn’t feel like sleeping more, so he went to the balcony for some morning fresh air. But the first thing he noticed was a lovely lady sitting in the garden of the mansion next to his. Her eyes were closed, and she was dressed in a hot yoga outfit. He knew she was the girl he saw the night before with just one look. But as time passed, he became aware of this face’s resemblance to the girl from four years ago. When he was focused on her, she opened her eyes and their gazes met. That’s it, this is her, he reasoned. However, she did not recognize him. She dashed out of the garden.

Peter is currently at his office, contemplating the possibilities of his new neighbor, and the girl from that night was the same person.

“How is this even possible? I looked everywhere for her. But when I gave up hope of ever finding her, she came to me as a neighbor?” Peter’s question was directed solely at himself.

When his assistant Tom came into his office, he was preoccupied with his thoughts.

“Sir, the meeting has been scheduled for 11 a. m. today, in the restaurant White Pearl,” Tom stated.

Peter shifted his stance and looked at Tom, perplexed by what he was saying.

“Which meeting are you referring to?” he inquired of Tom.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

Tom was taken aback by his question. This is the first time his boss has failed to remember an important meeting. “Sir, the meeting with the CEO of J&J Architects,” he cleared his throat and said to Peter.

Peter remembered the meeting and responded, “OK.” However, Peter stopped Tom as he was about to leave the room.

“Tom, please help me to find a private investigator for me. Make certain that he is the best “He then dismissed Tom.

Lotus went straight to the kitchen after leaving the garden to make herself a cup of coffee. While sipping her coffee, she received an email from her assistant informing her that the CEO of Robinson Group wishes to meet with her for the project. So she dialed her assistant’s number.

“Good morning, madam,” the man on the other end of the phone said.

“Stanley, good morning. Please tell me about the meeting “She inquired of him.

“Madam, I received a call from Mr. Brown stating that Mr. Robinson has returned to town and wishes to meet with you to discuss the project further.”

“All right, when does he want to meet?”

“At 11 a. m. today in the White Pearl restaurant,” he said.

“Who wants to meet for business in a restaurant?” Lotus grumbled to herself.

“In any case, say yes for me. I want to get started on this project as soon as possible.” Lotus was about to end the call when Stanley interrupted her.

“Madam, there is something else you should be aware of,” he said hesitantly.

“And what exactly is that?” Lotus, irritated by his slow movement, inquired.

“Officer George wanted to schedule a meeting with you. What should I tell him? “He inquired.

Lotus paused for a moment before responding, “Tell him I’m too busy to meet some random people.” And don’t forget to mention to him about my meeting with Mr. Robinson, including the exact time and location.” She then hung up the phone.

Stanley seemed to be in a daze. “Why would his boss want to let George know the location and time of her meeting if she didn’t want to meet with him?” he wondered. Finally, he did as his boss instructed.

The person on the other end of the phone, Lotus appears to be in a good mood. George wants to meet her, which indicates that her plan is working. She can’t wait to see him crawling after her on the road.

At the restaurant……..

Peter was seated at a table near the restaurant’s window. He had no important work today, so he decided to arrive early for the meeting. If he hadn’t left his office, the thought of his mysterious girl and his new neighbor would have driven him insane. He was reading some business news on his phone when he heard the sound of heels clicking on the tiles. When he looked up, his gaze was met by the most beautiful pair of eyes. Was he insane, or was he dreaming that his neighbor was approaching him? He was taken aback by her affirmation.

Lotus came to a halt in front of the table where her handsome neighbor was sitting alone.

“Do you happen to be Mr. Peter Robinson?” She asked the man to double-check that she had met the right person.

“Yes, I am. And you’re…?” Peter was unable to complete his sentence. Lotus reached out her hand.

“Hello, my name is Lotus Kent. J&J Architects’ CEO “She formally introduced herself.

When Peter heard her introduction, he was taken aback. He shook her hand tentatively and motioned for her to take a seat. Lotus sat next to him.

“I believe I’ve seen you before,” Lotus spoke up out of nowhere.

Peter’s eyes shone with radiance. ‘Did she remember their one-night stand?’ Peter wondered.

“I believe you are my new next-door neighbor. I saw you today in the morning.” Peter’s dream was shattered by Lotus’s response.

Peter quickly reorganized his thoughts and returned to himself.

“Not only this morning, but we met before,” he said to put Lotus to the test, but she didn’t change her expression.

“Yes, you are correct. We also saw each other last night.” Lotus gave a normal response.

“Yes, you are correct. We live next door to each other, but this is our first official meeting.” With a handsome smile, Peter said.

Lotus’ heart was warmed by his smile, but she quickly recovered from her feelings.

“It is, indeed, a coincidence. But I only moved here yesterday “She responded.

“I hope we’ll see each other a lot,” Peter said.

“Can we begin the meeting right away? I need to go inspect the location for my new office.” Lotus stated.

“All right, let’s get started.” They then began talking about business.

Lotus noticed George sitting at a table not far away from them as their meeting was about to come to an end. She pretended not to notice his presence and focused her attention on the handsome man sitting in front of her. They completed their meeting in a matter of minutes. Lotus was arranging her laptop and papers when she noticed George approaching their table.

Her mind wandered to a nefarious scheme. From the top of the table, she held Peter’s hand and looked at him lovingly. Peter was taken aback by her sudden appearance. When George approached her, he was about to ask her a question.

“Lotus! It’s a nice surprise to see you here “With a silly grin, he said.

Lotus rolled her eyes inwardly but maintained a sweet smile. She pretended to be surprised to see George there.

“Oh, George it’s you. What exactly are you doing here? “Her voice was surprised as she inquired.

“Yes, I came here to see a friend but ended up meeting you,” he explained.

“Meet my friend over here Mr. Peter Robinson. This is George, my brother-in-law, Peter “She introduced the two gentlemen.

Peter realized Lotus was attempting to manipulate him, so he cooperated.

“Good day, Mr. George. It’s nice to meet you.” Peter responded in a grating tone. But George ignored him and pursued Lotus.

“Lotus, after your meeting, could we have a private conversation? We can either go to my table or I will join you here.” George spoke without remorse.

“I doubt Peter will appreciate it if I leave him alone for my brother-in-law.” Lotus said this while playing with Peter’s fingers, emphasizing the word “brother in law.” Peter laughed in his head at this girl’s acting ability. He thought she was really interesting.

“Mr. George, we’re having a private conversation here. Do you have no qualms about invading other people’s privacy?” With a cold glare, Peter inquired. Hearing their words, George stiffened. George thought she was here for a business meeting, but she was here for a date with a handsome man. George was furious at the prospect of Lotus having a boyfriend. Peter interrupted him just as he was about to say something.

“Let’s go, sweetie. People in this town don’t know how to respect other people’s privacy.” With that, Peter rose from his seat and drew Lotus along with him. He took her out of the restaurant with a hand on her shoulder. Lotus was content with his actions.

George stood there, dumbfounded, staring at their retreating back. “Perhaps Peter was the one who helped her become a businesswoman,” he reasoned.

Peter drove Lotus to the restaurant’s VIP parking lot. He yanked his hand off her shoulder once he arrived. Lotus was taken aback by his generosity. She cleared her throat and considered a good reason to explain the incident to George inside the restaurant.

“Mr. Robinson, please accept my apologies for misusing you. I just wanted to avoid him because I don’t get along with any of my family members “She attempted to persuade herself in front of him.

“No problem, I understand your predicament. Furthermore, because we are neighbors, we should assist one another in times of need.” Peter mentioned her. His tone was friendly and welcoming to her. He was crazy about her before because of her beauty, but now he sees her sincerity.

“Thank you, Mr. Robinson, for understanding and assisting me,” she said.

“On one condition, I will accept your apology,” Peter said, his face frosty.

“And what is that?” Lotus inquired.

“You must address me by my first name, Peter,” he said with a heartfelt smile.

“Okay, Mr. Rob… sorry Peter,” with that they both cracked a hearty smile.

Rebecca was watching them from a safe distance. From her vantage point, they appeared to be very intimate and flirting with each other. She couldn’t take it any longer and dashed over to them.

Peter was discussing their next meeting and a visit to the construction site with Lotus when someone from behind wrapped two arms around his torso. When Peter turned around, he noticed Rebecca. His face darkened instantly. Lotus was taken aback by his sudden shift in mood. Peter yanked Rebecca’s hand away as if she had a contagious disease, then flattened his suit.

“What are you doing, Rebecca?” he questioned, annoyed by her presence.

“I came here for lunch with my friends and was very excited after seeing you,” she explained.

“You said you were working on a government project, but I see you’re working on something else.” Rebecca continued to speak to Peter while staring at the Lotus. Lotus laughed inwardly at this woman’s foolishness.

“I’m in this restaurant for a business meeting. She is the president and CEO of a well-known architectural farm. and I am not obligated to explain anything to you “Peter stated solemnly. He just wanted to make sure Rebecca didn’t have any doubts about Lotus.

“Hello, my name is Rebecca, and I am Peter’s fiancée.” With that Rebecca extended her hand to Lotus for a Hand share. Lotus examined her hand and shrugged her shoulders, saying, “I don’t shake hands with people who don’t have their own identity.” With that, she exited her car, leaving Rebecca fuming in anger.
