The taxi driver glanced at Laura through the rearview mirror. He had never seen such a beautiful woman before, but she also looked so tired and exhausted.
He could see that she was asleep, her head resting against the window.
The taxi continued its journey to the Grand Continental Hotel, the city lights illuminating the night.
The taxi finally arrived at the Grand Continental Hotel. The driver gently tapped on the window to wake up Laura.
"Miss, we're here," he said quietly, not wanting to startle her.
Laura slowly opened her eyes and sat up in the seat, rubbing her eyes. She looked out the window and saw the familiar sight of the Grand Continental Hotel.
"Thank you," she said to the driver, her voice soft.
The moment Laura walked inside the lobby she was ready to go to the elevator when she notice a group of man walking inside the lobby like they just came from somewhere all them cleared the hallway of people who did not dare make a move. These people weren't just bodyguards but high ranking officials military officer that are known as the Crimson Dragon Soldiers joining there military rank is a great honor for anyone. Laura wasn't really interested in this she went to to play her game on her phone.
A powerful aura that seems to command respect and authority walked through the front door.
"Ahhhh that's Lennox Salvatore!" A woman shouted.
"Look how handsome he is!"
All the female staff of the hotel and guests were all staring at the man that walked in. He was tall, with a muscular physique, and an air of authority about him. His name was Lennox Salvatore, the feared boss of the Italian-American General of the Army and Fleet Admiral., known as the "Young Patriarch" of the family. Lennox has countless of nicknames and one of them is God of War his truly a man who is feared across the world.
All the women in the lobby were swooning, but Laura was completely disinterested, playing on her phone.
The Young Patriarch, Lennox Salvatore, stood in the lobby, surrounded by his guards and staff. He was like a king surveying his domain, his eyes scanning the surroundings.
He noticed a young woman standing off to the side, completely absorbed in her phone. It was Laura.
Lennox's eyes narrowed as he observed her. She seemed to be completely oblivious to the commotion around her, her fingers tapping away on the screen of her phone.
"Ms. Frost stay away from my son, trying to use him to seduce me won't work, and you aren't my type," Lennox said in a deadly cold voice. Countless of woman gaped at this young lady she has guts. Laura mind became confused son..? Since when did she go to this man son? Try to seduce him!? Lennox already has walked away from Laura.
Laura lifted her head from her phone and looked around, trying to figure out who Lennox was talking about.
"Excuse me?" she said, her voice puzzled.
The women around her whispered to each other, all of them looking at Laura in disbelief. Who was this young woman who had caught the attention of the feared Young Patriarch?
"I heard some woman are daring enough to use Commander Lennox five year old son to get to Commander Lennox the last person who tried that not only lost all their fame over night they were forced to marry some old man who had had many wives."
"Yes Mr. Salvatore hated those who use his son to get to him the most!" another woman. At this moment Laura understood what Lennox meant by stay away from his son and trying to seduce him! What an arrogant man! Laura was so angry since when is she shameless to use a five year old to get someone that's just…forget it let's not think about it.
Lennox's guards and staff all nodded, their expressions stern.
"Mr. Salvatore is very protective of his son, and anyone who tries to use him to get to the Commander will face severe consequences," a guard said in a serious tone.
Laura just stood there, feeling frustrated and annoyed. She had no idea what they were talking about, and she didn't appreciate being accused of trying to use a child to get to Lennox.
The women around Laura all looked at her with disdain and disgust.
"Disgusting, how could she even think of using a child to get to Commander Salvatore," one woman whispered to another.
Another woman shook her head, her expression full of anger.
"She's nothing but a gold digger."
"Let alone use Commander Salvatore only five year old son."
Laura could hear the whispers and murmurs of the women around her, their words filled with judgement and disapproval.
She clenched her fists, her face flushed with anger. How dare they accuse her of such a thing? She had no idea what they were talking about, and she certainly had no intention of using a child to get to anyone.
The women continued to whisper and gossip, their words becoming more and more hurtful.
"She probably just wants his money," one woman said.
"Or maybe she just wants fame and power," another added.
Laura ignored the comments, her expression stoic and unchanging.
Laura took the elevator all the way to the presidential suite she walked down the hallway she opened her room and she saw the lights were off she checked on the twins she kissed their kids and her eyes closed she felt so tired. Laura walked to her room and she sat her Zreyn laptop on the desk she touched the holographic screen.
"Solo tell me more about this Lennox Salvatore," Laura said to the other man who was a famous hacker.
"Damn you Laura do you think you are all that good?"
Laura chuckled.
"Laura don't forget who gives you a pay check, now I want information about him," Laura said coldly and she leaned against her chair her eyes narrowed seduce him haha he would be the last man she would want to date!
Solo sighed in resignation. He knew better than to argue with Laura.
"Alright, I'll send you the information," he said, his fingers already tapping away on the keyboard.
A few minutes later, a file appeared on Laura's laptop screen, filled with information about Lennox Salvatore.
Laura scanned through the file, her eyes quickly absorbing the details.

"So Solo he is that respected by all the country and feared and my guess is this is what you can get without trying to hack through United States military system?" Laura asked.

"Useles," Laura said she chewed a piece of candy and she shook her head forget she doesn't have to worry about a man like him.
