It's day three already and Julian still have no information whatsoever on Lotus. Despite the fact that Julian placed a private investigator on her, they only know where she lives and the type of car she drives. The only thing her neighbors know about her is that she just moved in. Julian investigator who happened to be Julian's best friend said everything was ridiculous. So considering the fact that the Lotus have successfully covered her tracks before approaching them, her motive will at least hurt one person. Whether she is working alone or working for someone, who cares? She is dangerous.
But right now, Julian couldn't care less about all of this. This past two days have really been tough on him with all those nightmares, so as long as Lotus reminds him of Claire and bring her memories back alive he have no intention of letting her disappear again. Standing now in front of Lotus and teaching her how to stick to the basics of securing her system before hacking triggers memories from eight years ago.
************************
14th of April 2011 was the first time Julian Gary met Claire McGrath who at the age of twelve became a library owner after quitting school to pursue her dreams. Now seventeen, she is launching her 15th book titled "Devil's incarnation". As young as she was her decision making skills were so great that if she had decided to stay in school, she would have made it to the top of the world's business chart. However her decision to start a career with her talent was far better, it didn't only grant her a good life at seventeen but also freedom to go anywhere and do anything. What more could a teenager want? Her decision to quit school was quite reasonable. First school is bull s**t, it kills creativity and individuality. School, also happen to be intellectually abusive. Don't get this wrong because it has been scientifically proven that school is an ancient institution that has out lived it usage.
During the launching of Claire's book there was quite a lot of people like, Barack Obama, Duke of Sussex , Lucas Carlson, Nora Robert, a few other brilliant writers, volunteer students from Cambridge, fans of Claire McGrath and many more. The idea of Devil's incarnation was of an handsome and wealth man who died in the evil of his own making because of love
The story line must have attracted Julian Gary, one of the Cambridge volunteer students to Claire McGrath. As talented as Claire was, dating and romance just weren't her thing but she took a liking into Julian Gary. First of May was Claire's birthday and that day was the same day Claire started tutoring Julian how to become an efficient writer. Then, they became friends and Love blossomed but by the end of May they were no more.

"Quit staring at me" Lotus said to Julian after their lunch break.
"Who said I was staring at you" Julian asked coming back to reality
"Then what where you staring at"
"The portrait behind you"
Lotus looked behind but there was no portrait "Liar" she said.
Later Julian noticed Lotus was not really with him. "You look like you want to tell me something" he said
"Well, it is about the night of your birthday"
"I told you to forget about it or should I apologize again" Julian said extra politely.
"Not that, am talking about this" Lotus said and drop a box she brought out from her bag on the table
"What is in that box?" Julian asked
"I wanted to give you this as your birthday gift that night but it didn't happen and the next, I didn't bring it because I thought you had still be mad" Lotus replied.
"Again, am sorry for my behavior that night and thanks for the gift"
"It's a gold watch" Julian said beaming with smile as he brought out the watch from the box. Of course he had to be happy because except for the watches he get from Vincent every years, he literally get no gifts, well for security reasons.
"But last time Mr. Spencer said you don't like the color"
"Don't mind that. So, what color is your favorite?"
"Blue"
"Why do you like the color." Julian asked
"Because your eyes are blue" Lotus replied. It took a while for the two of them to realize how awkward that sound.
"Okay, I will wear this" Julian said to ease the awkwardness. But Lotus noticed he had one on already
"But you have one on already"
" You can have it. I prefer to wear the one you bought"

"Where is Julian" Vincent asked his bodyguard, Mark Warner as they entered his office together.
"At Rafael's house" Mark replied
"Are you sure the tracker in his watch still working"
"Yes sir"
"But why would he go to Rafael's house" Vincent asked confused
"I don't know sir"
"Do you think he knows we placed him under hypnosis" Vincent asked suddenly uneasy
"I don't think so"
"Find out why he went there"
"Yes sir" Mark said and headed for the door. As he opened the door, he almost lost balance to see Julian there
"Julian?" Mark mumbled
"Why are u here?" Vincent asked afraid that Julian might have over heard his conversation with Mark. But the tracker in his watch said he was at Rafael's. How come he his here?
"What do u mean?" Julian asked confused. Can't he be here again.
"I mean when did you leave Rafael's house" Vincent asked. He wasn't meant to say that.
"I never went there" Julian replied
"I see." Vincent said and relaxed for a bit. Then he realized Julian has changed his watch "So, what happened to the watch I gave u" he asked clearing his throat
"I gave it to Lotus because gave me a new one"
"So any news on Lotus" Vincent asked
"Yes, we know where she lives and the type of car she drives"
"Good job. Keep digging" Vincent said and gave Julian a thumbs up "Find out the relationship between Lotus and Rafael" Vincent ordered the moment Julian left the office
