The Heiress No One Recognized Chapter 37
The misplaced HeiressBy the time the meeting finally ended, Lysandra felt like she had been sitting in that chair for an entire week. This is what the last three days have been like. She gathered the papers in front of her and exhaled. “That was exhausting, I’m starting to wonder whether I’m actually cut out for this or not.” Sylas, who was standing beside the table collecting his own documents, gave her a knowing look. “It’s only been three days, Lysa.” She picked up her purse and turned towards him. “Exactlyyyy! And I’m this beat up by it all already. What's it gonna be like in a week or even months?” “No, no.” He shook his head. “What I meant was, it’s only been a few days, you’re still new to it all. You’re going to get the hang of it all eventually.” “Errm, I wouldn’t say entirely new…” “Of course, but that was just one company. Now you’ve got more on your plate. Besides, tell me,” he walked towards the glass door of the conference room. “How’s Andra Luxe coming along?”“I

The misplaced HeiressHer phone buzzed against the table, she glanced at the lit-up screen and a slight frown appeared on her lips. The first call had come while she was reviewing the weekly reports from the first company she was meant to visit the morning of tomorrow. She had ignored it, but then it rang again a few minutes later. This was the third time but once she saw who it was, she let it go to voicemail, this was the same thing that had happened the day before. She stared at it contemplating whether she should call him back or not.“Focus, Lysa.” Sylas, standing beside her, brought her back to reality. “Hargreave’s renovation request. Tell me your thoughts on it.” “Right,” she exhaled and turned the phone face down, pulling the report closer. “Revenue per room is up twelve percent. He’s presenting that as proof the hotel is thriving. But repeat bookings fell by nearly a fifth.” She turned the page. “He raised prices, the new guests paid them, and the regulars quietly left. T

The returned Heir Alastair entered the car and got comfortable brooding at the back. Elliot glanced at him through the mirror but wisely said nothing. The drive was quiet. Halfway there, Alastair took out his phone. He stared at Lysandra’s name for a moment before pressing call. It rang four times before going to voicemail. He ended the call. Two minutes later he decided to try again, still went to voicemail. On the third attempt, his finger hovered over her name. He contemplated whether it would make him look too desperate or not. Then he decided he was her husband so he called again. “The person you are trying to reach is unavailable. Please leave a message after the beep.”He hung up before the beep and sighed deeply, tossing his phone aside. In the mirror, Elliot was watching the road with great dedication, of course, he’d seen what was going on.“Sir—”“Just drive, Elliot.” “Right away sir.” By the time they arrived back at the office Alastair’s mood could be felt a mile aw

The returned HeirThe Maybach pulled out of the parking lot and disappeared around the corner. Alastair watched it through the window until it cleared the intersection. Then he turned and stared at his food as if it was what caused his father to leave. For several seconds none of them spoke. “Well,” Hero eventually broke the silence. “That went south real quick.” Alastair lifted his glare to Hero, who lifted his hands in defence. “Don’t look at me like that. I’m not the one who drove him away.” “Of course you’re not. I’m pretty sure if your dad showed up to have lunch with you after you ignored him for weeks you wouldn’t be so hostile at first meeting.” Laird bit out spitefully. “I’d watch myself if I were you, Laird,” Alastair warned. Laird was silent for a moment and then a deep humourless chuckle echoed from his chest. “I should watch myself? That man came here to have some quality time with his son and his friends. But said son couldn’t even master the decency to be polite en

The returned Heir The private lounge was an elegant, secluded room within the restaurant, with plush seating, dim lighting, and a beautifully set dining table. It offered complete privacy away from the main dining area.“So tell me, son, who is this mysterious wife of yours?” Zayn slid into one of the chairs, opting to get right into it. “Actually, let’s start with this. How have you been, son?” Alastair took his seat beside Laird, across from Zayn while Hero took the one next to Zayn. He picked up one of the candy bars set out on the table. A waiter approached them. “Good afternoon gentlemen. May I please take your drink orders?” “I'll have the Hazelnut Mocha. Thank you.” “I second that.”“Passion Fruit Swizzle Mocktail for me please.” “And a Café affogato. And make it with vanilla bean gelato.” “Alright, gentlemen.”After the waiter left, Alastair looked out the window at the incoming clouds and looked back at his father. “That’s my car.” “I’m aware.”“I’m well, Father. Thou

The returned Heir Alastair got into the car.“That oblivious little man,” Laird said, sliding in after him. “I liked him better when he was still hoping we’d buy the glass pool.”Hero climbed in last, eyeing the mini fridge built into the door panel. “Please tell me lunch is happening soon, because I need a good meal after all that.”“Get in,” Alastair said, ignoring him fondly. “I’ll fill you all in properly on the way.”They’d barely cleared the gates when Hero, still mid-complaint about his stomach, glanced out the window and went quiet.“Wait, isn’t that—”“Yes,” Alastair said, before Hero could finish his query.Laird leaned across to get a better look. “And that’s your father driving it.”“I’m aware.”What Alastair found stranger than the car itself was who was driving it. Zayn never drove himself anywhere, hadn’t in years, and yet there he unmistakably was, alone behind the wheel, idling just far enough from Amsterdam & Co.’s gates to look casual about it.Elliot caught his ey
