Two hours later.

Aron had finally completed his preparations for the meeting and was heading to the garage in order to head to the meeting when he was reminded by Nova that he forgot his watch.

"Thanks" Aron thanked Nova while he was heading to the basement to pick his own made watch.

"I nearly forgot you," Aron said, looking at his digital watch.

[As I said, I will always be there to remind you] Nova's voice came from the watch replying to him.

Yes the watch had one of the four remaining quantum chips.

He made it because he wanted to always have Nova in her full capabilities with him at any time at any place.

Although he could have had her be with him using his phone, he currently didn't have the time to create one and also it being a watch allows it to blend and not attract too much attention like how a custom phone would.

With that Aron left the basement heading to the garage.

Then he left the house while being driven by Donald, one of his bodyguards going with him to his meeting with Rina.

..

"I Will be back in about two hours or more, so go and buy yourselves some food" Aron said to Donald and his other bodyguard buddy as he left the car.

"Yes Sir" Donald said he then started driving the car to the parking lot.

As Aron stepped through the front door of The Ritz-Carlton, he felt a rush of excitement at the opulent surroundings, because despite him being a billionaire he never really lived like one at all.

The testament to this was that it was his first time entering a five star hotel in his life.

The lobby was grand and spacious, with towering columns and a glittering chandelier that cast a warm, golden light across the room.

The walls were adorned with works of art, and the plush carpets and sumptuous furnishings added to the sense of luxury and refinement.

After looking around and attracting a little attention from the people in the lobby, Aron made his way to the front desk, where he was greeted by a friendly concierge who welcomed him to the hotel.

"Welcome sir, How may I help you?" She asked Aron.

"I have a reservation in one of your restaurants under the name of Nova" Aron explained his reason for being her.

It was under the name Nova because she was the one who made the reservation for him.

She used her name because she knew Aron didn't want their meeting to attract the attention of anyone.

As for why choose a five star hotel for a meeting you don't want to attract too much attention. It was because of Rina, as a member of the Rothschilds family her going to a normal restaurant would attract more attention and suspicion compared to going to a five star hotel.

After looking through their system and finding the reservation under the said name, the concierge offered to escort him there.

"Sure," He agreed without any problem, because he knew he would be having trouble finding his way if he chose to go by himself.

As they walked, Aron couldn't help but marvel at the attention to detail that had gone into every aspect of the hotel's design.

The walls were lined with beautiful artwork, and every piece of furniture seemed carefully chosen to create a sense of elegance and sophistication.

Finally, they arrived at Navio, and the concierge wished Aron a pleasant dining experience before taking his leave.

Aron took a moment to take in the breathtaking ocean views from the dining room before being greeted by the matre d'.

He was then escorted to the private room, where he settled in and started his waiting for Rina to arrive for their meeting.

"Any bugs?" He asked the void after he was left alone in the room.

[No sir] Nova's reply came from the watch.

Nova had immediately taken control of everything that had internet connection within the hotel's premise the moment he was in the proximity.

She was monitoring everything, making sure that nothing dangerous happens to Aron during the period he is within the hotel.

...

15 minutes later.

The door to the private room was opened and his breath caught in his throat as he caught sight of the stunningly beautiful woman who stepped into the room.

She was beautiful beyond compare, with cascading waves of dark hair, sparkling eyes, and a smile that lit up the entire room.

"Nova you have a competitor" These words couldn't help but come from his mouth due to Rina's beauty being comparable to Nova's virtual body.

Thankfully no one heard him as he managed to say it in a low enough voice that only Nova could hear him.

Nova's reply to this was nothing other than her vibrating the watch to show her displeasure in her beauty being compared to Rina's, but even she couldn't refute what he said.

The reason they were surprised is because although they had seen her pictures it wasn't of the highest quality one, this was the result of the Rothschild family wanting their family members' lives to be far from the public eye.

Aron stood and extended his hand to her for handshake while he said "Welcome, I'm Aron Michael"

Rina shook Aron's hand then she replied saying "I'm Rina Rothschild" with a smile on her face.

'Why would Rottem cheat on her, is he dumb or what' the thought appeared on his mind.

"Let's have a seat" Aron said after shaking her hand which came as a surprise to Rina.

Rina was used to people getting lost in her beauty and forgetting what to do, but for Aron who had spent about a week with Nova's virtual body within the simulation it was manageable for him, although he was mesmerized he managed to control and not embarrass himself in front of her.

Rina sat on the other side of the table sitting face to face with Aron.

"Are you by yourself?" Rina asked because she was wondering why they were in a large private room.

"The small ones were booked up for today and only this one remained" Aron replied honestly without beating around the bush.

"Now let's get to the main topic, what do you want for your favor that needs me to come and meet you face to face?" Rina went directly to the main topic without wasting any time with small talks.

"There seems to be a misunderstanding from your side." Aron said while showing that he was taken aback by her reasoning to reach such a conclusion.

"A misunderstanding you say? Then what are we doing here?" She asked when she received a different than expected response.

She thought the meeting was for her helpers to meet her and cash in their favor. That's why she came prepared to repay whatever they wanted if it is within her capabilities.

"Yes a misunderstanding, I'm here to extend a helping hand for the second time due to some coincidences on our part".

"What will you want in exchange for the help you will provide?" This time she asked due to her wanting to know what will she have to give up for their help for the second time.

"Nothing at the moment," Aron answered without wasting any time."But we will need your help very soon once you regain your position within the family".

Rina hesitated to accept the help because she didn't know what they would want from her when she regained her position in the family.

When Aron saw the hesitation in her eyes, he decided to assure her lest she decides to not accept his help. He was going through all these troubles because he really needed her to be on his side.

This is because, for one of his future plans to succeed without a hitch he needed someone within the family with powerful political say to support him.

Although the plan could succeed without anyone's help, having it would expedite its completion.

"You don't have to worry, We won't ask for something that would harm you or jeopardize your position in the family. It might even seem trivial and useless when we ask you of it, " Aron said, trying to assure her.

"You have my promise" He added.

After a few seconds of silence she finally gave up and agreed as she really needed his help at the moment and she was ready to lose an arm to get her position back.

"Okay then, what do you have that can help me this time? I'm assuming that you know my current situation in the family"
