The Prince Who Cannot Fall In Love & The Missing Heiress - Chapter 328
Tatiana then ended the interview by saying thank you to Mischa and whispering ‘good luck’ once again. After the camera was turned off, she immediately put the camera back in her bag.
“All right. After this, we will go to the lounge across the street and have tea with Professor Renald Hanenberg,” said Tatiana after taking a deep breath. She turned to Mischa. “Is it okay if I borrow Vega for an hour?”
Mischa laughed, “Why are you asking me? Vega is your friend, and she is happy to accompany you there. You don’t need my permission.”
“I don’t understand why do you need me to go with you to see Professor Hanenberg,” commented Vega. “I just saw him talking in the SpaceLab’s hall. He didn’t look scary at all.”
“Oh, he didn’t? Did you really see him from up close?” Tatiana looked very interested. “He looked cold and distant, right? His words must be short and curt too…”
Vega shook her head. “Actually, no. He wasn’t all smiles like Mischa here, but I don’t think he’s as scary as you think. His voice was also very calming. When he spoke, you could hear that he was highly intelligent.”
“Hm … is that so? “Asked Tatiana.” I’ve been to one event where he was a speaker. At that time, I thought he was unapproachable and ruthless. I don’t even know why he agreed to have tea with me and do this interview…”
Vega shrugged. “Maybe it’s all in the past, and now he has changed? We don’t know if the events that have occurred over the past year make him changed…”
Tatiana took a deep breath. “That makes sense. Hmm .. alright, we’ll see about it.”
“Then, you girls, please have fun, okay. I’ll go back to the expo and meet Altair.” Mischa distracted the two girls from their gossip and said goodbye. “Do you want me to pick you up later, or do you want to come to the expo again and see us?”
“Hmm .. I don’t want to bother you. So, no need to pick me up,” said Vega. “Tatiana and I will go back to the expo on our own.”
“All right,” said Mischa. He took his coat off the chair and headed out of the restaurant. “Then see you later. Your bodyguards are already waiting in the lounge. They will make sure you and Tatiana are fine while I’m not around.”
“See you later,” Vega waved at Mischa, who almost reached the door. The man looked back and smiled sweetly.
For a moment, the light from outside that fell on the man’s face made him look like he had a halo around his head. The two girls were stunned as they admire the beautiful sight with sheepish smiles on their faces.
“How come he is still as handsome and young as seven years ago? Mischa doesn’t look a day older from when we were still in high school. In fact, from my observation, he actually looks more handsome today than before,” Tatiana commented. She cupped her face and lamented. “I’m only 23 years old but already feeling old … He has to tell me his secret. What is his diet or which plastic surgeon he went to.”
Vega just laughed at Tatiana’s words. Ahh … there was no way she could tell Tatiana that Mischa’s secret to looking young was not his diet, let alone plastic surgery.
The man received an immortality potion 12 years ago. That was why his appearance remained when he was in his 30’s. To the Alchemists, Mischa’s appearance was actually older than average, because he took the potion late.
Most Alchemists looked like they were still in their twenties. In fact, if Vega and Altaïr now went out with their parents, people would think the four of them were siblings, especially because Altair and Vega looked a lot like their father.
“Already … don’t overthink about other people’s looks,” said Vega with a laugh. “Have you prepared the list of questions for Professor Renald Hanenberg?”
Tatiana nodded. She immediately forgot about Mischa’s secret to the fountain of youth and took out a notebook from her bag. “I have prepared the questions here. A lot of them are similar to the questions I asked Mischa. But it all depends on Professor Hanenberg’s responses later. If he seems willing to open up, I will ask the hot questions, things that my readers are curious about. But, if he is still as curt as he used to be, I’ll limit my questions to his professional life only.”
“Very well. Good luck,” said Vega, patting Tatiana on the shoulder, encouraging her.
Tatiana exhaled and blew her hair. “Uff … yes, I hope the next interview will be as successful as the interview just now.”
Tatiana immediately grabbed Vega’s waist and pulled her out of the restaurant. They will head to the lounge across the street, which is famous among Paris’ upper-classes.
“I have an appointment with Professor Hanenberg,” Tatiana said to the waiter who received them at the door. The waiter’s face was beaming.
“Ah, please come in. Professor Hanenberg just arrived. I will take you to the private lounge where he is.”
She signaled for Vega and Tatiana to follow her. The two girls followed the waiter’s steps to the second floor. At the end of the hall, they stopped at the door to their left. The waiter knocked on the door and opened it.
“Good afternoon, sir. Your guests have arrived,” said the waiter respectfully. She invited Tatiana and Vega in and took her leave.
Tatiana thanked the waiter and then entered with Vega. Inside the spacious lounge, they saw Renald Hanenberg sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed. He was reading something on his tablet while occasionally scribbling the screen.
For a moment, the two girls were stunned. Renald Hanenberg looked very serious but also very handsome. This was what usually made women go crazy about him. He looked so hot being smart. Tatiana was no exception, she was so starstruck that her steps halted.
For a moment, the girl’s body seemed to stiffen. Vega, who realized Tatiana was not being herself, pulled her friend to sit in front of Ren and greeted the man.
“Good day, Professor Hanenberg,” said Vega, representing Tatiana. “Thank you for agreeing to accept us for tea together.”
Ren lifted his face and stared at Vega closely. “I think you’ve got the wrong person.”
“Eh … what?” Vega frowned, not understanding. Wasn’t this Professor Renald Hanenberg himself?
Vega saw him earlier in the SpaceLab hall. Indeed, from such a close distance, Professor Hanenberg looked younger than his real age … but there was no mistake. It was really him.
Tatiana also looked confused.. She had seen Ren at a royal event prior to today. This was Renald Hanenberg, right? Why did he say they’ve got the wrong person?
