The Prince Who Cannot Fall In Love & The Missing Heiress - Chapter 327

“What happened?” asked Mischa attentively.

Vega shook her head. “Hahaha.. nothing. I just think he’s so handsome. Now, I understand why the women here are so eager for him to move on from his wife. No wonder.”

Mischa held his breath for a moment, then nodded. He tried to control his jealousy and asked Vega jokingly. “Who is more handsome? Me or him?”

Vega chuckled at this man’s question. She shrugged. “I don’t know. I can’t decide. You and he are different. So I can’t say who is more handsome between the two of you. It’s like asking me to choose which one tastes better, apples or oranges because they are different. Each fruit has a unique taste.”

“Hmm … do you think so?” asked Mischa.

“Sshh .. we should be quiet. Looks like the event will start. I want to know what he will say,” whispered Vega while pinching Mischa’s arm. She tilted her chin forward and signaled Mischa to be quiet.

Mischa complied with the girl’s request. He raised his face and looked straight ahead. Ren Hanenberg sat on a chair in the center of the stage with a microphone in his hand. Beside him sat a woman wearing glasses and a bald man.

“Good morning, everyone. Welcome to the SpaceLab’s hall,” said Ren in his calm voice as he immediately wowed everyone present.

Professor Renald Hanenberg looked very impressive just standing on the stage without saying anything. So, as he began to talk and discuss his various plans for SpaceLab in the future, his charms multiplied.

The audience was struck in awe by his intelligence. Vega even closed her eyes and listened to the man speak because she was mesmerized by his calm and soothing voice.

Mischa turned to the side and watched Vega with a frown. Did Vega remember Ren’s voice? Was there anything inside her that moved when she saw Ren and heard him speak?

Mischa admitted that Ren was a genius whose mind was always thinking so far ahead to the future. It was also one reason why Elios allowed him to atone for his sins by devoting his life to advancing SpaceLab the way his father wanted.

Now, in just a few months since he rejoined the company, there were so many innovations and breakthroughs that he had made at SpaceLab.

Even the investors agreed to hand over control as the chief executive to him at the shareholders’ last general meeting. This was yet to be announced, but insiders, including Mischa as the RMI representative, already knew.

Ahh, in the eyes of so many women, Ren was an ideal man, the dream husband. No one knew the crime he had committed.

Vega was also a woman. Like those other women, she must admire Ren because she only saw Ren from the outside, thought Mischa.

“Stop staring,” Vega muttered, pinching Mischa in the arm. Apparently, the girl could feel that Mischa was staring at her from the side, even though she didn’t open her eyes.

Mischa chuckled. “You’re funny. Why are you closing your eyes like that? It’s not the radio.”

Vega opened her eyes and looked at Mischa. “I don’t know .. I think his voice is very calming. That’s why I closed my eyes, so I can listen to him better.”

“Can you hear him properly?” asked Mischa. “Did you hear what he said about all the upcoming SpaceLab programs?”

Vega nodded. “I think Professor Renald Hanenberg is very ambitious. I wonder if he will be able to achieve all his dreams with SpaceLab.”

“We’ll see,” said Mischa.

They listened until Ren had finished speaking. He shared with the audience about SpaceLab’s new vision and missions and their mid-term and long-term goals for the next decade. Then, the question and answer session began.

Fortunately, the moderator of the event was very good at his job. He selected journalists and people who could ask great questions to keep the short seminar interesting. It also attracted the attention of many people around the world.

The audience was not only from the attendance at the hall. The event was broadcasted live through SpaceLab’s Virconnect page. So, many people from all over the world could also watch.

After they felt satisfied with their visit to the SpaceLab hall and listening to various information from SpaceLab leaders, Mischa and Vega decided to go out. They continued their journey to see other halls.

“Ahh .. I’m tired,” said Vega. She stretched her arms and pointed to the cafe outside the expo building. “Would you like to sit down somewhere and have coffee? What time is your lunch interview with Tatiana?”

Mischa looked at his watch and replied, “In half an hour. We can go to the restaurant where the interview will be taking place. Let’s just have coffee there while waiting for Tatiana to arrive.”

“Oh … I think that’s a good idea,” agreed Vega. “Where is the restaurant?”

“Not far from here. We can walk there.”

“Okay.”

***

The interview was fluid and fun. Since Tatiana had known Mischa before, coupled with the presence of her high school friend who was close to Mischa, the lifestyle guru felt so relax, and she could ask various questions as she pleased.

Tatiana asked Mischa about RMI, Mischa’s career in the group, his plans for the future, and his personal life.

The girl became very brave with her questions, which were borderline super personal. Mischa was very friendly and didn’t seem to mind any questions.

This made Tatiana very happy. Many people she interviewed withdrew or turned defensive when she asked them about their personal lives.

However, Mischa was not like that at all.

He was always friendly and pleasant from start to finish, even when Tatiana asked very personal questions like his love life.

“Hmm .. my love life is almost non-existent,” said Mischa with a laugh. “I’m too busy working. That is why I will soon resign from RMI and focus on my personal life.”

“Ahh … does this mean you will stop working and focus on finding love?” asked Tatiana with a laugh. She then turned to the camera. “Good news for all of us, ladies! Mischa Rhionen is still single, and he will soon resign from RMI in search of love. Who will be the lucky woman? Maybe you??”

Tatiana glanced at Vega, who sat across from her, not captured by the camera. The beautiful girl was trying to hold back her laughter.

“Actually, I already have a girl I like,” said Mischa hastily. He waved at the camera and shook his head with a chuckle. “She is a really special woman, and I like her a lot.. it might even be love. Indeed, I’m still single now, but if she accepted my love, then maybe I will immediately leave this single status. So … please, don’t misunderstand.”

Tatiana burst into laughter at the man’s words. She almost couldn’t hold back from dragging Vega to the front of her camera.

“Okay … I think I know the special woman you were talking about.” Tatiana cleared her throat. “Good luck.”

“Thank you,” replied Mischa. He didn’t need to turn to Vega to know that the girl’s cheeks were flushed red. The man just smiled faintly.

Hello, I am sorry for the slowness in updating the book as it’s nearing the end. So many things are going on with my life right now. I hope you can be patient.

Btw, you might realize by now, the privilege is dissolved. It happened because I marked the book completed (and marked it back to on-going afterward) to test something.

So, what happened was, I have exhausted my quota of 20 books in Webnovel, I cannot create a new book on the site. Don’t worry, I don’t plan on writing a new book until at least this book ends. I only want to create a new book for a writing contest (Spirity Award) in March or April.

However, since I have reached 20, the system doesn’t allow me to create a new book. My editors kept saying I can create a new book if I marked most of my books as completed.

I mean… 14 books were already marked completed but, still, the system refused to allow me to make a new book. I write in two languages, that’s why I used up the 20 book quota faster than other authors who only write in English.

So, two days ago I marked 18 books completed (even tho some are still ongoing, like this one), just to prove their words. Well… it turns out, they are wrong. I still cannot create a new book.

However, those books already marked as completed and all the privilege chapters are dissolved into regular chapters. It means I cannot join the win-win event with them.

It’s OK though. It actually lifts the burden from my chest a bit since I no longer feel pressured to publish every day. So, I hope you understand the slowness in publishing these days.

I want to take a break by writing slowly and in a relaxed manner. I promise to see this book to completion, I hope in one more week (crossing fingers!).
