Stargazing
Lotus drove away from the parking lot with her car. Peter smiled proudly as he watched her drive away. Rebecca stomped her foot on the floor like the spoiled brat that she is.
“How come you didn’t say anything to her? She clearly insulted me in your presence “She inquired of Peter.
“Well, she didn’t say anything that wasn’t true,” Peter replied, shrugging his shoulders.
Rebecca was irritated by his casual demeanor. So, in a high-pitched voice, she questioned, “What exactly do you mean by “she was true”? Do you believe I don’t have an identity?”
“Why did you introduce yourself as my fiancée if you don’t have an identity? You should have introduced yourself as you.” Peter got into his car with that.
Rebecca was about to say something else when Peter started his car and left the angry Rebecca standing in the middle of the parking lot alone.
Lotus spent the entire day visiting various buildings, but none of them met her expectations. She eventually became tired and decided to return home.
“Just sit here and watch, bitch. I’ll show you what humiliation is once I’m married to Peter “Rebecca stated aloud. But because she was alone, no one could hear her. She quickly realized she was alone there and left to find her friends.
Peter was reviewing the project presented by Lotus in his office. He couldn’t concentrate on the presentation during their meeting because he was so preoccupied with checking her. However, as a good businessman, he must thoroughly review it. When Peter heard a knock on the door, he said, “Come in,” without looking at the visitor.
Tom entered and waited for him to look at him. Tom began speaking as soon as Peter looked at him.
“The private investigator as you asked, has arrived Boss. Should I invite him in or tell him to wait for you?” Tom inquired of Peter.
“Send him in right away.” Peter gave him the order while reading the documents on the table in front of him. Tom simply nodded and exited the room.
Peter sat on the sofa in his office. A middle-aged man sat across from him. Andrew patiently read through his file. He was a well-known private investigator in New York.
“I’d like you to learn more about a specific person. Learn everything you can about her past. Specifically, her location on June 4th, 2017. Where was she on that particular day?” He was stated by Peter. He was certain Lotus was that girl, but he wanted to be more specific. There is no chance for a mistake here. So he was curious about her whereabouts on that particular day. After explaining everything to the private investigator, Peter presented him with a Lotus visiting card. They exchanged a few words before the P. I walked away.
Lotus arrived home in the late afternoon. Lotus came inside while James and Jenny were playing with Monica. They both ran to Lotus, leaving everything behind.
“Mommy, we both missed you,” they said in unison
“My babies, I missed you as well. Have you finished your lunch?” Lotus inquired as she kissed them on the cheek.
“Yes, we had lunch and a short nap,” Jenny explained.
“Mommy, have you finished your lunch?” James inquired, concerned about his mother.
“I did, indeed,” Lotus replied and walked into the living room with both of them.
“You looked tired,” Monica said with a motherly concern as soon as she saw Lotus. Lotus became overwhelmed by her worries.
“I’m fine, Monica,” she replied cheerfully.
“You go up to freshen up. Take some time to relax. I have the babies with me.” Monica urged her. Lotus nodded and set the kids down. She rubbed their backs and went upstairs.
Lotus spent some time with the twins after freshening up. When it was time for dinner, she fed both of them and then took them to their bedrooms. The twins soon fell into a deep sleep. Lotus then went to her study to do some work. She attempted to sleep after finishing her work but was unable to do so. As a result, she went to the balcony. She had always enjoyed gazing at the stars since she was a child.
Late at night, Peter returned home. He went out to eat with one of his clients for business. He was about to go to bed after a quick shower when he remembered something. He went to his balcony with his phone in hand. Lotus stood there looking at the stars, just as he had expected. He pulled out his phone and texted her.
Lotus had become engrossed in stargazing. She checked her phone when she heard the message tone and discovered a message from Peter. “Does the universe have a special relationship with you?” it asks. Lotus smiled as he read the text and looked for him on his balcony. She noticed his well-built body standing there.
She quickly typed back, “My mother is up there with them, so I’ve loved watching stars since I was a child.”
Peter became saddened when he saw the text. He quickly changed the subject and asked her another question.
“Have you located a suitable location for your office?”
“Nope, none of them meet my requirements,” she replied via text.
“If you want, I can assist you. We recently finished a building that is for sale.” Peter replied her
“I would love to see them,” Lotus replied in his text.
They texted some other things and said good night to each other. Both of them had a sound sleep after a long time.
