Chapter 23 – Drone Expo

last update Last Updated: 2025-08-07 21:34:17

The event hall was lively the whole morning even when the official event will only start in the afternoon. The morning is open for public to showcase the smaller drones for home and personal use. And I can tell it’s already a huge hit especially to children. The afternoon is a formal invite-only event where all stakeholders will be present to do press briefings. Our aim is to entice the public to buy our products but it seems we don’t need the afternoon event any more. We’ve already reached our sales quota within the first three hours of opening. And I can’t be any happier now. Nothing can shake my mood for the whole day.

Or so I thought.

As soon as the invited guests started arriving in the afternoon, the expo hall became livelier than usual. But no one was prepared when a certain someone walked in in a tight-fitting, off-shoulder black dress that accentuated all her curves in the right places. It wasn’t a revealing dress, but it makes people want to linger more trying to figure out

  • My Tenant is a Mafia Prince   Chapter 25 – Bad Reputation

    If I’m hesitating before, now I’m convinced that I cannot write about the budget discrepancy carelessly. Not when they’re threatening Steffan. Poor Steffan, always getting in trouble because of his association with me. I finally realized what he meant when he told me I shouldn’t be at the expo. Maybe he found something troubling and he knew I wouldn’t let it go if I found out.“Thanks for waiting,” I heard Steffan’s voice and I was flooded with relief. I thought he was already kidnapped by those ladies and wouldn’t come home to me anymore. And that thought was enough for me to wrap my arms around him while burying my head on his chest.“Thank you, Steffan,” I said in a mumbled voice. He was surprised by my action but we stayed in that position until we heard a familiar voice.“Try to lessen the PDA, lovebirds. Parking lot is still a public area,” Alex reminded before walking past us to

  • My Tenant is a Mafia Prince   Chapter 24 – Gifts, the Good and the Bad

    As soon as I asked my final question, I knew I hit a sore spot. The military’s reaction were priceless. Although there’s risk in what I did, the satisfaction of uncovering something important outweighs it.Last night, after crunching all the numbers, I found out the discrepancy. It was subtly hidden in a few lines across different documents but it’s there. And when I tallied it, the amount is enough to fund a small country’s defence. The question is, where did it go?I was still mulling over when the door opened to reveal old men in military uniform. These men were not in the event a while ago. The representatives must have called them to do damage control.“Good evening, Ms. Nicholson. This is General Smith, he’s the one responsible for this deal,” the representative introduced.I shook hands with the general but he kept his stoic façade while studying me.“Have you been taking your medi

  • My Tenant is a Mafia Prince   Chapter 22 – Preparations

    The room immediately turned cold as Jack’s piercing eyes slowly turned towards Elsie before speaking slowly.“Get. It. Done.” he enunciated each word before walking back to his desk, ending our short tea break.When I went back to my cubicle, I found stacks of magazines about military equipment spread out on my desk. I looked for the sender but Elsie blocked my path.“My office, now” she ordered in a flat tone.I think I know where this meeting will lead. Getting fired by Ara is something that’s still fresh in my memory and now walking towards Elsie’s office feels like déjà vu. “Do you know how long a new writer has to wait before they get sent out to cover a huge event?” she asked in a relaxed way.Of course, I know. But I’m not stupid to answer her question. I already know Jack wanted to assign a special task to me and she doesn’t agree. Either she thinks I’m not qualified or she thinks someone is better suited than me. Which one is it? I’m about to find out.“Jack wants you to at

  • My Tenant is a Mafia Prince   Chapter 21 – First Task

    I don’t know what happened inside Jack’s office, but if I’m to describe it now, it felt like a daydream. Like I’m not in control of my body. I don’t believe in the word hypnotize, but maybe I should now.I immediately left the office without saying anything and I knew I failed that interview. But to my surprise, a secretary was waiting by the door when I came out and she explained the onboarding process. She advised that I look for Elsie the next day for proper guidance.It’s almost 5 o’clock when I reached the coffee shop and I ordered two drinks and a slice of cake to celebrate my employment. But when I went back to Alternate Horizon’s office I was greeted by an unusual sight. “Oh, I’m so sorry, Steffan,” I heard the young girl say as she hurriedly wipes the stains on his shirt. She started wiping his chest area then down on his stomach until she literally disappeared under the desk. I didn’t want to interrupt their moment so I hid behind a post watching, as he reached down to ge

  • My Tenant is a Mafia Prince   Chapter 20 – New Name, New Opportunities

    I thought I will wait in vain waiting for the mysterious CEO of Alternate Horizon. Either Alex still has a soft spot for me or he just doesn’t want me loitering around his company. Or maybe the gorgeous lady has put him in a good mood. Anyway, no matter what it is, I’m still thankful.I’m still crafting my strategy on how to use the email address to my advantage when I felt my stomach rumbling. I can use it as a bargaining chip in negotiating with Jack Stokes or I can establish direct communications with the CEO.Growl.My stomach rumbled again. I haven’t had lunch and I was hoping to catch Steffan on his lunch break. But when I see him focused on his new work and his colleague, I feel like I’m interrupting something good for him. So, I went to a nearby coffee shop by myself.I was queueing at the counter when my phone rang. It’s Veronica.“Where are you now?” she asked excitedly.“Business District, why?”“Can you reach Stokes media in thirty minutes? I heard Jack Stokes is conductin
