Becoming A Tech Tycoon Begins With Regression novel Chapter 93

Chapter 93: The Underworld Queen’s Courting Tactic

Ethan sat in what looked to be a private room of a bar, listening in on the conversation between the three, on his face was a proud smile at the way Lillian had made use of the information she got.

He knew that she was still a bit hesitant and nervous to face her past but she had ended up handling it better than he expected.

"Good job, Midas." He muttered as he took a sip of his Mudslide¹. Why did he choose that instead of one that fit the mood, like whiskey or wine?

Well, there was no particular reason apart from the fact that he was a sweet tooth who constantly craved something...sweet.

"What was that?" Irina, who was sitting opposite him in the private room, asked.

She had flown all the way to Atlanta for a meeting with Ethan, an action that baffled him since they could just as easily discuss whatever she wanted through a secured channel, yet she was here.

Ethan was surprised when she informed that she had arrived in Atlanta, while he was in his office.

"It’s nothing," Ethan shook his head as he put the glass down, "by the way Ms. Romanova, I’m still surprised that you’re here."

"First, drop the Ms, I prefer you calling me Irina," she said, a small smile on her lips, "and second, I came because I wanted to see you.." 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Ethan’s hand froze on his glass, his blue eyes raising to meet Irina’s. She didn’t look like she was joking so he just went ahead and asked, "and why is that, Ms Romanova."

"Irina," she corrected with a small frown on her face.

"Ms. Irina,"

"Irina."

With a sigh, Ethan gave in and finally said, "Irina."

A satisfied smile appeared on her face as she heard him call his name, "good."

"As to why I wanted to see you," she leaned forward a bit, "it’s just because I wanted to."

Her words confused Ethan even more. Did the queen of the underworld have so much free time?

Seeing the look on his face, Irina just chuckled before she added, "anyway, I also wanted to say that the documents against my brothers proved to be pretty useful so I decided to hurry up your request and deliver them myself."

Ethan sat up straight, this was a better information than her previous flirting, or whatever she was just trying to do.

His brows lifted slightly. "Deliver them yourself? You must be in a good mood."

"As I said," Irina answered, "the information against my brothers was pretty useful."

"I see," Ethan nodded before finally taking another sip of his Mudslide and asked, "where are they?"

She looked at his seemingly eager face before she chuckled and said "be patient and spend some time with me for now, after all, I came all the way to Atlanta just for you."

There it was again.

Ethan just sighed and leaned back, schooling his expression into a neutral one. Irina seemed to be having fun with whatever game she was playing so he let her...for now.

They spent another hour at the private room of the bar before Irina finally got bored and stood up.

"Let’s go," she said and without waiting for an answer, turned to the door.

Ethan didn’t ask either, he just followed behind her as they headed for her car just outside the bar.

Two buff men stood in waiting and immediately opened the door as they spotted her.

The door was held open for the two to enter before the man closed it and walked to the front, getting in with the other.

"Where are we going?" Ethan asked.

She looked at him before saying, "a surprise."

That didn’t sound good, but Ethan decided to play along. Irina seemed completely different from the last time they met.

She seemed a lot more tame right now, and the reason for that? He had no idea, neither did he want to find out.

The drive lasted for a while as the buildings kept zooming past them and Irina still had no intention to reveal their destination.

Finally, the vehicle slowed, then stopped.

Irina’s lips curved into that faint smile. "We’re here."

The guards stepped out first, scanning the area with professional precision before opening the door for her. Ethan followed, his gaze sweeping the surroundings.
