LEO POV
'She looks beautiful, elegant. She looks different from my Arsinoe,' I kept thinking why would she marry an old man if she had all my money, so that means the information Alex gave me was legit, but nothing adds up🤔.
During the entire meeting I kept staring her, she felt cold even from a distance, which reminded me of how sweet and warm my Arsinoe was. Her smile that could melt even the strongest metal, 'what did they do to her?' as I was consumed with all the thoughts that kept consuming me, I couldn't hear, my assistant calling me "Mr Yoshida, My Yoshida..." that's when I regain back my grip, and that was the first time her eyes meet with mine, She stared at me so blankly, there was nothing there, she does not remember, the only trace i could see was pain. It's been years but I how she looks like when she is in pain. "Mr Yoshida, we have done our part, its your turn" she spoke, her voice was firm, she really does not know me. After making sure everything was fine I gave a go signal that the Imperial company has approved the alliance. "Me Alexandrea, its nice doing business with you, we shall stay in touch." I said. As I was leaving I could not help but notice something on her neck, "I remember that!" I said to myself. Before I left seventeen years ago, I gave her a half pendant, and thats what she is wearing, this changes everything I thought but she did not even want to look at me
ARSINOE POV
The meeting went well but I could not stop myself from looking at him. When I received the information on my way here I almost dropped out of shock. It was him, Leo, my Leo, we finally meet again,
When I entered the meeting room, and i laid my eyes on him my heart could not help but skip a beat, I thought maybe he guessed who I was, which made me feel even worse, he might think I'm just one of those cheap women who cling on rich men. Oh if only we would have meet on a different circumstance🤦♀️. When he got up to leave, I looked away, how could I look at him in the eye, I felt embarrassed.
I spent the entire day in my office busy indulged with all the work that was left pending. Eli gave me power over his asset two years ago after he fell very ill. He did not trust me but that did not mean he trusted his sister either, and between his sister and I he choose me, If only he knew? he would have given his sister everything, but i made sure this time I win. and I made sure of it.
in the few weeks that I have been in country Z I have been extremely busy, and since we had an alliance with Imperial company, all there events were held at the Royal Empire Hotel. Over the period of time Leo and I only meet twice but we never got the chance to talk. I guess it was better that way. 'knock, knock' Laura came in handing me a few documents before saying "Madam, you have a lunch meeting with Mr Yoshida, or should I cancel?" a few days ago Leo schedule a meeting with my assistant, Im not sure what the meeting Intel's but we shall find out today. " No, don't cancel anything, I will attend the meeting".
