∆7. The Tech Expo
Alpha was getting ready to leave his house so that he could reach the Expo on time or the entry would close shut
Alpha ⟨Alvin Jones⟩
*looking in the mirror* Hmmm I really don't want to go
Alpha ⟨Alvin Jones⟩
*Alpha's brain clogs start turning and rotating trying to figure out a way to escape the expo*
Alpha ⟨Alvin Jones⟩
Aha! I know the answer already. If I go late then the gates will shut close. I won't be allowed entry, I can happily turn around and leave
Alpha chuckles and walks back to his room, deciding to laze around
Alpha ⟨Alvin Jones⟩
I can rest now and later work on the unknown person~
And hence Alpha heads to his bed, deciding that he'll go to the Expo 2 hours after the entry time closes
Meanwhile at Avian Technologies
Rithika ⟨Rialta Flores⟩
*staring out the window, eyes twitching*
Regulus ⟨Regulus Navarro⟩
*walks in from behind* My Queen, you haven't gotten ready?
Rithika ⟨Rialta Flores⟩
*doesn't respond, still looking out*
Regulus ⟨Regulus Navarro⟩
*realises the source of her distress* Don't worry, he'll be here. There's still well.... 4 minutes?
Rithika ⟨Rialta Flores⟩
*annoyed* No. No one gets to time him. Keep the gates open for him. The entire day if it requires. I don't care
Regulus ⟨Regulus Navarro⟩
But it could compromise your safety my queen what if someone armed comes in and-----
Rithika ⟨Rialta Flores⟩
I. Don't. Care. *looks at him sharply* You heard me, didn't you? Don't make me repeat myself
Regulus had worked beside Rithika long enough. Rarely had she ever gotten frustrated or annoyed in such a serious tone. Understanding her feelings, he sighs and agrees to her request
Regulus ⟨Regulus Navarro⟩
Very well, if that is what you wish for My Queen. *grabs her and drags her away from the window*
Rithika ⟨Rialta Flores⟩
Hey---- Let go!!! I'm still---
Regulus ⟨Regulus Navarro⟩
*makes her sit in front of the mirror, picks up a comb* Quiet down. Now, Hush
Regulus begins combing through her hair, softly brushing to make sure there's no breakage. Rithika stays quiet as he does so
Regulus ⟨Regulus Navarro⟩
*brushing softly* You need to get ready. If you plan on meeting the guy of your dreams, shouldn't you at least make yourself presentable?
Regulus ⟨Regulus Navarro⟩
I don't know much about pickup lines or love letters, but I do know that a striking first impression will make sure he has a special memory about meeting you
Rithika ⟨Rialta Flores⟩
*smiles softly* Hmm seems like Little Reggie has gotten some Romantic sense huh?
Regulus ⟨Regulus Navarro⟩
*scoffs* Of Course not. This is basic common sense. Besides, you are the CEO, you need to look stunning. We need to uphold our image too
Rithika ⟨Rialta Flores⟩
Gah You sounded so nice talking about Love and first impression. You just had to ruin it and go back to your obsession with work and image, didn't you?
Regulus ⟨Regulus Navarro⟩
Hmm, Perhaps? *chuckles* You should focus on the company a little too you know. It could prove to be extremely helpful in the future
Rithika ⟨Rialta Flores⟩
Nah, not happening. I have you, You work all night anyway. You are more than qualified to take care of this place
And so The Queen and her Right-hand man continue talking
Alpha ⟨Alvin Jones⟩
*Walks towards the gates, taking small steps and walking as slow as possible* Hmm Seems like the doors are closed. Ha, I'm free now. I'll just go and talk to them and leave in fake disappointment
Head of Security <Alan>
*notices Alpha walking towards them* Hm who is that guy? *his eyes widen as he sees Alpha's face* Everyone!!! Open the gate!!! Let him in at once!!
Head of Security <Alan>
*checks his watch* Alright it's already 9:30, I can dismiss all the extra guards and leave for now. *hears someone approaching, shocked* Mr. Navarro??? What brings you here sir?
Regulus ⟨Regulus Navarro⟩
There's a change in plans. Keep the entry open. *hands him an image of Alpha* Make sure he gets in, no matter when he arrives
Head of Security <Alan>
*protests* B-but sir you know how dangerous that ca---
Regulus ⟨Regulus Navarro⟩
Regulus ⟨Regulus Navarro⟩
*glares coldly* I don't like repeating myself. Do as you are told.
Head of Security <Alan>
*gulps* y-yes sir!!! *salutes and bows, his head remains down until he heard Regulus's footsteps fade away*
Head of Security <Alan>
*thinks* *It's him!! The guy Mr. Navarro asked us to allow* *Immediately opens the gates, takes Alpha's ID's and smiles ready to welcome Alpha*
Head of Security <Alan>
*the minute Alpha is 10 feet apart, he salutes him* Welcome to the Avian Expo!!!!
Alpha ⟨Alvin Jones⟩
*confused* *wasn't Avian well known for its strict rules? What's gotten into them* b-but
Head of Security <Alan>
*hands Alpha his ID and welcomes him, leading him towards the entrance, not listening to his protests*
And before Alpha knows it, he's inside the Expo.
Alpha ⟨Alvin Jones⟩
*Dammit!!! There goes my plan*
Alpha grumbles and walks around. Having no choice he visits the conferences and demos. He didn't want to admit it, but overall he was impressed by Avian's event
It was afternoon now. Alpha had finished eating his lunch and was now thinking of roaming around. Lost in his thoughts, he bumps into someone, knocking out the papers in their hands and falls down
Alpha ⟨Alvin Jones⟩
O-oww---
What he heard next is perhaps the sweetest and most delightful voice he's ever heard.
？？？
Oh Dear!!!! Are you alright????
