The Prince Who Cannot Fall In Love & The Missing Heiress - Chapter 325
“So many people have an interest in the Holodeck,” the girl commented, watching the crowd with a smile on her face.
Mischa followed her line of sight and nodded. “Holodeck is indeed a very popular product. It has many uses and at the moment, it is the most advanced technology in the world for 3D simulation. We are planning to make holodeck donations to a select few schools.”
“Whoaa.. I am sure it will be very useful,” said Vega. “My younger brothers really enjoy learning using the various features of the Holodeck.”
“Your brothers are very lucky that their father is the owner of RMI,” said Mischa with a laugh. He then pulled the girl’s hand into the auditorium. “Come sit with me at the front. In a moment, I’ll give a speech to open this event.”
Vega nodded and walked, following Mischa’s steps. They entered a large auditorium with approximately 1000 seats. Only people with invitations could enter here.
The guests included various government agencies, various other corporate partners who use the products and services of RMI’s subsidiaries, and research centers and individuals who were deemed important enough to attend.
The head of the event organizer rushed over to Mischa and bowed respectfully to him.
“Welcome, Mr. Rhionen,” said the middle-aged man kindly. “You’re early.”
“Yes, I like to be early, as you know,” Mischa responded with a smile.
“Ah.. you are our role model, Sir,” said the man, respectfully.
He stretched out his hand and greeted Mischa, then nodded politely to Vega. With great respect, he led them to the row of honorary seats at the very front.
When they sat down, there were already many distinguished guests around them. Those people were watching Mischa and Vega who had just arrived, with curious eyes.
Seeing their very young age, the other guests did not think that these two people had important positions or came from a large organization to be given seats in the VIP section like them.
If Mischa and Vega were not personally led to their seats by the head of the event organizer, maybe the other guests around them would think Vega and Mischa had taken the wrong seats by going to the VIP section.
Ahh .. apparently not. So, these two were really important people, huh? they thought.
But, who were they?
As Mischa told Vega, he appeared very rarely in public, and always limited the number of people he saw or worked with in person.
That’s why so many people didn’t know who he really was, and if he got a seat in the VIP seat like these, people would become curious about his identity and started gossiping about him.
Mischa just rolled his eyes when he realized the people around them were talking about him. Somehow most humans were too curious about other people’s business.
Okay. Soon, they would find out who Mischa really was, because he would be the one to deliver the opening speech for this grand exhibition.
At 10 am sharp, the auditorium was closed and everyone who was still standing or looking for a chair hurriedly looked for a seat and sat. The event would start soon.
“Welcome to the RMI, Rhionen-Meier Industries’ Annual Exhibition.” A well-dressed young man came on stage and greeted all the audience.
After giving a speech to the people who came and read the list of events, the MC invited Mischa to come on stage and delivered the opening remarks.
It was obvious that the people present were surprised to see that the person who was going to open the exhibition in Paris was still very young.
Vega could hear the whispers of the female guests excitedly gossiping about the young and handsome boss of RMI.
Mischa stared at Vega with a smile, before turning his gaze to the audience. Fluently and without text, he greeted the invited guests.
His deep voice was soft to her ears and his warm tone made people pay him attention wholeheartedly. This was the first time Vega saw Mischa at the work setting and she felt that Mischa always looked the same, both in personal and professional settings.
The man remained warm and approachable. His words were smooth and clear. He even made jokes that made the guests laugh. His charm was so obvious, captivating all guests, especially the opposite-sex, in the auditorium.
Throughout his speech, Vega stared at Mischa with a faint smile on her face.
Ahh … even though they had not seen each other for a long time, Vega still had memories of Mischa like this.
In her eyes and in her memories, Mischa was an impressive mature man who was also very handsome, warm, and kind.
Secretly she pondered Mischa’s attitude toward her for the past two days. From his actions, and even what he said, it was obvious that Mischa liked Vega and wanted to date her.
Vega actually did not mind Mischa and his efforts to approach her. As a single girl, being chased by a handsome and well-established mature man like Mischa made her heart flutter.
She may just need to search her heart, to determine whether she had the same feelings for Mischa, or not. Seven years had passed since she liked Mischa when she was a teenager. After so many years of not seeing each other, feelings could change.
She understood that seven years ago Mischa did not see her romantically, because he considered her a minor. Now that Vega had grown up into an adult woman, his feelings might have changed. That’s why he now decided to go after Vega.
By the way, what did he say yesterday? He just wanted to get married and settle down with his wife in a beautiful place in the mountains of Switzerland and live peacefully?
For some reason, Vega felt her cheeks heated up at the thought of that moment when she and Mischa were chatting about the future.
Currently, she was 23 years old. It’s old enough for a woman to date and marry someone. However, she felt that she still needed to experience more and seek life experiences. She didn’t know whether she would be able to match the much older Mischa.
“Jeez … what am I thinking, anyway? My father and mother are 94 years apart and they’re fine. Grandpa is older by 400 years from grandma, and they’re fine too,” the girl muttered to herself.
“Who are fine?”
Mischa’s voice from beside her suddenly made Vega shocked, she almost jumped up from her chair.
The girl grabbed her chest and scolded Mischa.
“Gosh .. don’t startle me …” said the girl, pursing her lips. “I didn’t hear you coming.”
“I didn’t mean to startle you,” said Mischa. “I have ended my speech. Earlier, I thought you were watching me giving my speech, but it turned out you were just daydreaming. You didn’t even realize that I have walked down from the stage and stand next to you.”
The man pretended to be sad that Vega did not watch him talk, and made Vega feel guilty.
“Ahh .. oh, I’m sorry. Earlier I did pay attention, but only halfway. After that I was suddenly thinking of something,” the girl admitted, looking down shyly.
“Ahahhaa .. it’s okay, really. I was just pulling your leg. I didn’t say anything interesting. You shouldn’t listen to me,” said the man casually as he sat beside Vega. “What are you thinking about? Earlier, I heard you mention something about your father and mother, and also your grandpa is older by 400 years from your grandma, but they are fine..”
Vega chuckled when she heard Mischa’s question.
Jeez …! There was no way Vega would admit that she was thinking about the age difference between her and Mischa.
The girl hurriedly shook her head and changed the subject. “Where are going we after this? Do you have to stay here until the opening ceremony is over?”
Mischa shook his head. “No. After this, they will introduce every company under RMI that will participate in the exhibition, so that they can show their products and service to clients, partners, and journalists. If you want to stay here to see everything, I will stay with you.”
“Ahh .. there is no need for that,” said Vega with a laugh. “I think I know enough about RMI and its subsidiaries, so I don’t need to hear more.”
“All right. Then let’s go out now and take a walk. What do you think?” asked Mischa.
“I’d love it,” said Vega.
“Very well. I can take you to visit all the halls where the exhibition is. Immediately seeing the contents is more interesting than listening to speech after speech.”
Mischa extended his hand to help Vega up, and then the two of them walked out hand in hand.
