Reborn as the Mayor's Girlfriend

Chapter 47: Eavesdropping

Ryzen POV

It seems like my thoughts about Millen Yu's family last night were a bit foretelling, since the next day, I was suddenly summoned into the main mansion.

Apparently, Kenneth Yu had something important to say and he wanted all of us to wait for him.

I arrived relatively early, actually.

Katrina Yu wasn't even home yet, as she's probably still out socialising with other elites. Kenneth Yu, on the other hand, would still be arriving around dinner time.

I think it's kind of a waste to just spend the rest of my time here, waiting in my room. Maybe going to the library or movie room would be productive enough for me...

While on my way to the library though, I did not expect to hear an intriguing conversation between Zeus Costales and his guest.

They were in the open meeting area, which was near to the grand library room. Unlike the library, there was no walls or doors to cover the open meeting area. Anyone could hear the conversation that would take place if they were near it.

Anyways, it is not like it's a big deal. Everyone in this mansion are people of Millen Yu's family. The open meeting area was also quite spacious. It was a favourable area to talk with guests.

I immediately hesitated to open the library's door and decided to stay outside.

I briefly saw Zeus Costales talking to his guest. They were having tea and it seems like they are discussing casually, but who knew that they were actually talking about heavy political topics.

I hid myself behind the wall, wanting to listen more to their discussion. Even though my state right now might look ridiculous, I could not care less. Especially when the topic they are talking about mentioned a certain someone's name.

"Frankly, I do not think it makes sense. Why do we need to put charges on him, when he has not done anything to violate the law?" I heard Zeus Costales murmur in a serious tone.

"But Sir, he is clearly challenging the government. He will outshine the president's popularity if we do not do anything. The opposition side is using him as their mascot to oppose the government." the other person reasoned out.

"If I do author a case that will summon him into court, don't you think it will only backlash on us? The opposition side will only gather more supporters by raising sympathy for him. There's no doubt that he's doing good anyway. Just leave the mayor of La Coron City alone." Zeus Costales replied with a hint of impatience.

I heard the other person sigh before speaking again.

"Then, I will have to choice but to comply with your decision, Sir. But I should remind you that, it was the president himself who brought up this idea." he said.

"Yes, I am fully aware of that and will take full responsibility for it. I'm sure the president will understand when I explain the reasons why." Zeus Costales replied nonchalantly.

"Speaking of which, have you finalised the bill on giving additional executive abilities to the president?" the other person asked.

"Yes. Although, I did put some revisions in it. I will present the complete version on court tomorrow." Zeus Costales stated.

Afterwards, they talked about political stuff more and there were technicalities that I could not understand.

Hmm... I guess my eavesdropping is enough.

I've already heard the part about Lennox, anyway.

So, it was the president who wants to cause more trouble for him? From the looks of it, I have a guess that the president was also instigated by fishy politicians just like the person that Zeus Costales was talking to.
