Family Drama
Lotus decided to begin her work today after confirming that James was feeling better. She dialed Peter’s number hesitantly. He received the call after three rings.
“Good morning,” Lotus said as soon as he picked up the phone.
“Today is a good morning for me.” In a cheerful tone, Peter said.
“Sorry, I don’t understand,” Lotus said, unable to explain his upbeat demeanor.
“Forget it, good morning to you as well. How is your son doing today?” Peter avoided her question.
“He’s doing well. Can we inspect the building today?” Lotus inquired.
“Yes, I will be waiting for you in one hour before your front gate. Please leave your car here and I will take you there “Peter proposed.
Lotus was feeding James at the table, and Monica was assisting Jenny with her breakfast.
“I’m sorry, but I’ve changed my mind. The doctor recommended that you meet other kids your age. As a result, I’ve decided to enroll you in a playschool “Lotus stated.
“We’ll be going to school, yeeeeeeeeee Mommy, when are we going to begin? “With delight, both children inquired.
“Today is a busy day for me because I have some important work to do. We’re going to school tomorrow “Lotus responded. Her heart was also flattered when she saw their happy faces.
Lotus prepared herself after breakfast. She double-checked herself in the mirror before leaving her bedroom.
“There’s something on your face,” Monica said with a serious expression as soon as Lotus came downstairs.
Lotus panicked when she heard Monica and checked herself in the mirror on the living room wall.
Lotus frowned and said, “There’s nothing on my face.”
“There is something there. Let me take a look. It’s an excitement “After carefully examining Lotus’s face, Monica said. Behind her serious expression was a sly grin. Lotus took a moment to realize Monica was joking with her.
“Monica, you’re starting to resemble James and Jenny. Stop joking, you’re a grown woman “Lotus said with a grin.
“Sorry for bothering you, but you look stunning today. May God always keep you happy “Monica stated. Lotus then kissed her on the cheek and said goodbye as she exited.
directly in front of her gate, Peter was standing with his back to a sapphire Ashton Martin. In his grey Armani suit, he looked hot and bossy. Lotus took a look at herself and noticed that she was also dressed in a grey business suit from Chanel. Lotus took a step closer to him. Peter turned to face her after hearing the sound of her silhouettes. He moved in front of her and opened the passenger side door for Lotus. Lotus simply nodded and climbed into the car. Peter then climbed into the driver’s seat and turned on the engine.
The car was silent as they both were thinking about how to begin the conversation. Lotus’s phone rang inside her bag just as Peter was about to say something.
“Hello, Stanley. How is Mr. David’s project progressing? “enquired Lotus
“They liked the design, madam. They desired to meet you in person “Stanley replied.
“Tell him that I am currently a little busy, but that I will meet with him as soon as possible,” Lotus stated the following.
“OK, madam.”
“Another thing, find a good kindergarten for James and Jenny by today. I am now going to visit a building for the office; you can call me in the evening to report anything.” With that, she hung up the phone.
“So you’re going to put them up at school? How old are they? “inquired Peter
“They are only three years old. In a few months, they will be four “Lotus responded.
“Great. I’d like to apologize for what happened last night. I should have asked before approaching you.” Peter attempted to explain.
“It’s okay, forget about it ever happened,” Lotus said to bring this topic to an end.
“I’m not going to forget it so easily. It was a memorable experience for me ” he said this, making Lotus blush.
“How long will it take to get to the location?” Lotus asked to change the subject.
“We’re on our way there. Tell me a little bit about your boyfriend “Peter wanted to learn more about her.
“I’m not in a relationship. I am a single parent “Lotus replied as the car came to a halt.
“We’ve arrived,” Peter declared.
Lotus looked ahead of her. They are located in the city’s official district. They both got out of the car. Lotus was taken inside a 40-story building by Peter.
“We finished this structure last month. The first thirty floors are occupied by several companies in the Robinson group, while the top ten floors are vacant. If you want, you can buy or rent the top ten floors for your office. It is entirely up to you “As they entered the lift, Peter said, The Lift went straight to the fortieth floor.
“This lift is only available on the top floor. You can use it as your personal lift “Peter proposed. Lotus simply nodded to him while inspecting the floor.
They exited the building after an hour. Lotus remained silent the entire time except for asking for some details.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
“I loved this location. I was looking for something similar to this. This is located in the heart of the official district, not far from the cafe and restaurant. I’d like to take this position.” Lotus stated.
“You can complete the procedure at our headquarters,” Peter said.
“Thank you very much for your assistance. Otherwise, I’m not sure how long it would take me to locate one “Lotus stated.
“I am delighted to assist you. Furthermore, I am profiting from you.” With a wink, Peter said. They both smiled after that.
Lotus received a phone call from her father as they walked towards Peter’s car.
“Yes, Mr. Kent, please tell me how can I help you?” Lotus stated solemnly after receiving the phone call.
“Don’t be such a jerk, Lotus. I am your biological father “Steven stated
“I am not rude,” Lotus responded.
“Are you coming for lunch?” Steven inquired.
“Yes, I’ll be there,” Lotus says as she hangs up the phone.
Peter had a frown on his face as he looked at her. Lotus noticed his reaction as he climbed into the car.
“I’ve got some family drama here,” Lotus explained. Peter simply nodded. Peter’s phone rang at the same time. It was also his Father.
“How are you, Dad?” Peter inquired.
“I’m all right. It’s been a long time since you’ve returned home. We have something to talk about with you, your mother and me. Please come to lunch with us “Mr. Robinson stated.
“OK, dad, I’ll be there,” Peter replied.
“I have some family drama as well,” Peter admitted to Lotus as they drove back to their house.
“Please leave me here on the right. My driver is standing by with my car “Lotus indicated her car on the other side of the road. Peter nodded, made a U-turn, and came to a stop in front of Lotus’s car.
“Stay safe. I’ll see you at home “Lotus, Peter said.
Lotus felt a warm sensation in her chest. She simply nodded and said goodbye before exiting the car. Peter waited for Lotus to leave with her car before heading to his parent’s house.
At Kent Mansion….
Lotus was sitting in the living room of Kent Mansion. She looked around. This mansion was her mother’s dream home. She spent her entire childhood in this house, but everything seems so different now. Lotus was contemplating her past when Steven and Miranda entered the living room. Steven’s eyes widened when he saw Lotus. Miranda, on the other hand, was unconcerned.
“I am delighted to see you, my dear,” Steven said.
“I’ll get straight to it. Why did you want me to come here? “Lotus, with a determined expression, inquired.
“You’ve changed a lot. You used to be sweet and soft like your mother, but now you’re tough and strong like your father. I am so proud of you “Steven stated.
“Before, I was foolish and trusted the wrong people, but now I know whom to trust and whom not to trust,” Lotus stated bluntly.
“I called you today to bring our family back together. Kindly call Lilly, Miranda. She has to apologize to Lotus. “Steven stated.
Miranda left and returned five minutes later with Lilly. Lilly seemed to be a zombie. She wasn’t as pretty as Lotus, but she was adorable. But now, with all of the recent events in her life, she was looking even worse.
“Take a look at what you’ve done to my daughter. George left her here and sent her a divorce agreement “Miranda sobbed as she spoke.
“So you requested me here to save her marriage?” Lotus inquired of Steven.
“Lotus, I know she’s made mistakes in the past, but she’s grown up. Look at her condition; if George abandons her, where will she go? We are a family. She is your half-sister. Please forgive her.” Steven stated. Lotus’s lips twitch in a stern smile.
“You’re thinking about your daughter and family right now. I also happen to be your daughter. Why didn’t you consider me when you kicked me out of the house? Have you ever considered me? How did I make it all these years?” Steven was being yelled at by Lotus.
“I apologize for the past, dear. Please consider my reputation and forgive her, as I am your father. If you forgive her, George may forgive her as well.” requested Steven
“Are you certain that if I forgive her, George will accept her back? No, I don’t believe so. I believe he has lost interest in her. Perhaps he has found someone else.” Lotus stated.
“You want to take George away from me, you scumbag. That’s why you’re doing everything you’re doing. You’d like to marry him. You want to steal my husband, you slut.” Lotus was yelled at by Lilly. She attempted to hit Lotus, but Lotus was swift. She avoids Lilly and slaps her across the face.
“I’m not a slut, but you are. You seduced and slept with my fiancé. And, for the record, I’m not interested in George. You are free to keep him. I only have one desire.” Lotus stated.
“I’d like to know the name of the person who was your partner in the hotel that night.” Who was it that you sent to my room? “I’d like to know who that rapist was,” Lotus stated coldly.
“I had no idea who was with you that night,” Lilly stated.
“Of course you know you’re lying. “You were the mastermind.”
“Believe me, I’m not sure. I had intended to send you with one of George’s friends who liked you, but the hotel staff misplaced you in the wrong room. It was too late when I discovered you had been assigned to the wrong room. As a result, I stole a keycard and went to that room. I didn’t see the man’s face. When I walked into the room, you were both sleeping naked. I took the help of a hotel staff member and returned you to your room, along with your clothes. Then I left the hotel.” said Lilly.
Lotus stiffened up. She always assumed she’d get an answer from Lilly, but Lilly knew nothing about that man. That man was not part of Lilly’s plan. Where would she find him now?
“Lotus, please tell George to forgive me,” Lilly begged. Lotus approached her and slapped her once more.
“Do you still believe you deserve forgiveness?” “You’re paying for your own sins,” Lotus said as she exited the house.
“I’m embarrassed for you. You got what you deserved “Steven went to his room after saying this to Lilly.
Robinson Mansion…..
Mr. Robinson and Nina were sitting across from Peter. Rebecca mentioned Lotus to Nina, so here they are.
“It’s been a long time since your engagement with Rebecca. We want you to tie the knot as soon as possible “Mr. Robinson stated. Peter was well aware that his father was a puppet for his stepmother.
“I’m not going to marry Rebecca, Dad,” he said.
“What do you mean you’re not going to marry Rebecca?” Nina inquired again.
“I got engaged to her because I was forced by your health condition, but I will not marry her now. I’d like to marry someone else “Peter stated unequivo
