George couldn't believe his ears when he received the news that Lotus had left the state. His mind was still in a state of shock. Anger filled him, it was his fault. All his. It was as if his entire world had been flipped upside down, and all plans to ever get to Lotus broke into tiny pieces.23 How could she just abandon everything she had worked for like that?
His mind swirled with thoughts of revenge. He couldn't let Lotus get away with the effort he had put in place he needed to win Lotus' heart and the only way was by tackling his rival. No, he needed to establish a company, a rival to Peter's, and prove to everyone that he was not to be messed with and maybe, Lotus would find her way back to him.
Frustrated and seething with anger, George picked up his phone and dialed his head agent, John. "What do you mean Peter escaped?" George barked into the phone, his voice laced with fury.
