As much as Ian wanted to punch him right now, he just smiled genuinely at him.
"Nothing, I just want to sit here because there would be such a great drama going to happen." he smilingly said.
All of them were shocked and became unhappy, especially the president. The president groaned and glared at him but Ian just smiled at him.
"What are you still doing?!" the president asked and shouted at the manager.
The manager hurriedly faced him.
"Kick him out of here before the new owner of the company is going to come. I don't want him to see this crazy and insane man right here. I don't want to disappoint him." the president told his manager.
The manager shivered in fear and faced the president.
"I am sorry, sir. I am going to take care of him." he said.
The president just nodded and allowed him to. After a while, the manager walked toward Ian and faced Ian with a despised look. Ian just went calm.
"You heard the president! Leave before the new owner arrives sooner. You're just blocking the way here!" he shouted at Ian.
Ian groaned and just smirked.
"What are you still smiling and smirking at?! Are you deaf or you are just so stupid!" he continued to shout at him.
The manager continued to bully him for him to leave but he never left. After a while, Ian grabbed the collar of the manager who feared everyone.
"H-ey! what are you doing?" the manager asked him.
"What are you doing?!" the president even asked him
The others slowly walked backward because they were scared of him. Ian's face became mad and cold as he stared at his manager. Ian ignored the president and the others because he wanted to focus on his previous manager who just fired him. He stared at him with fear.
"Listen, I am not going to let you bully or despised me again anymore, moron!" he shouted at the manager.
The manager looked very scared. He never thought Ian has an attitude like that.
"What are you doing? aren't you afraid that you are going to jail afterward?!" the manager shouted at him.
Ian can smell his fear which made him braver and stronger to face him.
"Maybe you had already forgotten but I want to remind you and let you know that I am not a staff of this company anymore. Right? you fired me a while ago." he smirked as he asked the manager.
The manager just nodded and couldn't handle his fear of Ian.
"Ye-ah, right." he said.
"So, you don't have the right to just despise and bully me and I am not going to fall for your insults anymore." Ian madly told him.
The manager was shocked by Ian's change. He would never think he was going to be like that.
"What are you doing?! why can't you even handle that insane guy?!" the president shouted at the manager.
Ian growled looking at the president.
"What did you say? insane guy? who? me? you don't know who I am, sir." he blurted.
The president got scared and swallowed hard. He didn't dare to say more to him. However, just before Ian was supposed to say something to the manager at this time, a Ferrari arrived and stopped in front of them. All of them were shocked and stopped moving.
"Here they are." the president said.
Ian just glared at him.
"Make them stop." the president told his underlings referring to Ian and his manager not to cause any scene.
Ian knew it was the lawyer's car. The president fixed himself and led the top management toward the lawyer. He was so damn excited and acted like a saint.
"Let go of me!" the manager told Ian.
Ian released his manager. His manager fixed his collar and looked at him. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes.
"You know what, you're going to regret this, asshole. Don't make me see you again or else I can do such a thing to you. Understand?" his manager said and left rushing toward the other management.
Ian just smirked and watched him run toward them.
"Okay, then, I'll wait for that time, asshole." Ian mumbled and smirked.
As the lawyer came out of her car, the president and the others smiled at her in a respectful way. They were all impressed to see such a beautiful and tall lady in front of them.
"She's pretty."
"Wow."
That's all they said after seeing her. But the lawyer just smiled and took off her sunglasses and faced them all.
"Good day! I'm the previous owner. I'm glad you made it." the president bowed and introduced himself.
The lawyer just nodded and smiled at him. She wasn't also expecting to find the place sooner and in time.
"Yeah, this place wasn't hard to find as well." she sighed.
The president giggled.
"I know. That's why I decided to build this company here. Isn't it nice?" he chuckled a bit asking her.
The lawyer just chuckled as well.
"Yeah, the place was so nice and wide... and clean. I love it." she added while walking and rooming around.
"By the way, these are my top management..." the president said.
He even introduced her to the top management and Ian could see what was happening.
"Gosh, what's taking them so long? I am already waiting for my time to shine." he blurted.
Ian couldn't admit to himself that people like them could just really act like a saint in front of someone higher but if you were lower or poor, they were going to treat you unfairly.
"By the way, where's the new owner? I thought he would come with you." the president asked her.
The lawyer just smiled. Her eyes start to room around while looking for someone and as she saw Ian, she smiled. Ian also smiled at her and nodded.
"He has already arrived." she said with a wide smile.
"Huh? where?" the president and the others were all curious and shocked. The lawyer and Ian were just both standing and waiting for them to see him and process into their minds that he was the one the lawyer was referring to. "Boss, no one's here except for us and him." the manager told the president. The president groaned as he saw Ian sitting on the ground while looking at them. Ian even waved his hand at them. "He's nuts." the manager said. "Nah, it's impossible it's him." the president even said and shook his head as he looked at Ian. Ian just sighed and shook his head. He wanted to laugh because they look very crazy looking for the new boss which they don't know it was really him. "They're nuts. They don't get that it's just me." he mumbled. The lawyer just chuckled a bit as she saw they were all getting chaotic looking around who was the new boss and owner of the company. As much as she wanted to tell them that it was Ian, she doesn't want to ruin the moment and her role
The president just took a deep breath and fixed himself after realizing everything. He even wiped his hands on his suit and extended to Ian. "I'm so sorry for what I said and did earlier. I just don't know what to say..." he apologized and even bowed his head while waiting for Ian to shake his hand with him. Ian and the lawyer just looked at each other and smirked. The president knew that his company was just a top 10 company in their town but he merely knew that the lawyer is very famous and powerful and that she works with the biggest consortium in the world. But he was still shocked that Ian was the new owner of the company which he was once just their delivery. "Okay, apology accepted." Ian said and shake his hand with the president. The president was so happy and looked at Ian with a respectful facial expression. The lawyer nodded and even winked at him. "What can I do for you, Mr...?" the president asked Ian. He doesn't know what to call Ian. The lawyer and Ian just both c
The manager was very shocked and very speechless while looking at his boss. He would never think Ian, his former employee whom he just fired, was the new boss of the company he was working for."La-ude, I mean, Mr. Laude, please! I am sorry for what I have done to you. I know I fired you, but I just did it because someone told me to." the manager told him.Everyone gasped and was surprised. Ian wasn't surprised anymore, because as mentioned earlier. He heard and saw him talking on his phone with someone. He knew it was a set-up."How could you do something ridiculous to anyone except for me as your boss?!" the boss shouted at the manager.The manager seems very sorry about what happened. He knelt down and bowed his head in front of Ian. Ian felt pitiful to the manager. Everyone knew he was the new boss, but he was giving the former boss to scold his former manager."I am very sorry. I know it's not a right thing for me to do, but I regret it very much. Please, I don't want to lose my
"So, looks like you were so mad with that Chris? Is that your ex-girlfriend's new boyfriend, huh?" his lawyer asked him.Ian from the backseat just groaned and massaged his neck. He was so tired and just couldn't believe anything that he had learned this day."Yeah, you were right, it was him. That Chris, I will make sure I am going to make him taste hell." he mumbled.The lawyer laughed and chuckled. It was already getting dark and the lawyer wanted to send him to his apartment and fixed his things so he to move to his new apartment. Ian resisted from the first time, but later on, he agreed."Gosh, did you actually live in here?" the lawyer couldn't believe what she saw.The place was too small and two people couldn't even fit in. Ian just chuckled and understand that she was used to staying in wide and elegant places rather than him."Nah, I know but yeah, I just don't have any money and couldn't afford large places, that's why." he said.The lawyer just nodded and preferred to help
Ian released a very deep breath as he looked at the place again. He doesn't know where to go, because he doesn't know where is his room."F*ck, looks like I need to ask one maid to show me my room." he blurted.He called one of his maids and let her show him where his room was, and as he entered the room, his eyes almost popped out from where it is. His room was very wide and tidy. "Wow." he just blurted.He never thought his life would be like this forever. Even though he doesn't know and never met his real family, he was still thankful that he gave their everything to him. He stared at his bed and smiled comfortably."I guess I am going to sleep peacefully right here because my bed looks very comfy and wide." he smirked and threw his body off.Not until, his eyes made him sleep. Because he was very tired, he fell asleep."Mr. Laude, wake up." he groaned.He could feel someone was moving him. Ian slowly opened his eyes and it was the maid who showed him his room."Yes?" he groaned a
Ian couldn't sleep thinking about what Maria told him about his family and Shane's family. Even though Shania was her real name, he still prefers to call her Shane, because it was a shortcut for her name very well. Ian continued to sleep and Shane was very early when she arrived at the mansion."Where's Ian?" she asked Maria.Maria chuckles and hugs Shania. Shania was like her daughter already because she had known her for too long already."Ian was still sleeping, Shania." Maria said.Shania groaned and rolled her eyes."I told him that I am going to come earlier." she said.Maria chuckles and faced her."Ian told me you didn't tell your name to him that's why he named you Shane. Sorry but I accidentally slipped your name." Maria said.Shane's eyes grew bigger."Aunty." she blurted.Shane called her aunty, because she had been with her after her parents died. Maria was the one who took care of her as well since she was young."I don't know, okay? But he told me that he preferred to c
She explained to him that everything inside those folders was all about his properties and not just his family. Ian reads them all and he was very smart to learn about them for a short time. Shania also knew that he was very smart, because his parents once were as well."Mrs. Mendez told me..." he said."You mean Aunt Maria?" she cuts him off.Ian nodded."You can just call her aunt Maria just like I always did, Ian. Besides, she's been part of your family for so long already. Yes, what about her?" she asked him.Ian released a deep breath. He was still very shy to ask about it from her."She told me that your parents were very close with my parents. Were they sorts of some like best friends before?" he asked her.Shania's face went pale. She doesn't want to talk about her parents anymore, because it makes her miss them more. Ian saw how her facial expression changed which made him very worried."I am sorry, are you okay? did I say anything wrong?" he asked her.Shania closed her eyes
Ian and Shania went back to business for a while. While they were talking about Ian's inheritances and everything, Maria couldn't stop herself from watching him from afar. She could see that the old times were flashing back into her mind, the time when Shania and Ian were still both young and always play inside the living room."I never expected this day to come. They look perfect for each other." Maria mumbled and whispered.While she was thinking about something, someone behind her approached her. It's one of the maids, Natasha. Natasha looks very beautiful and she just ages just like Shania and Ian as well."Natasha, what is it?" she asked her.Natasha just smiled at her and peeps at Ian and Shania as well."Were you watching both of them?" Natasha asked her with a wide smile on her face.Natasha was just a new maid there, and Maria has to watch over her for a few times, because she doesn't know what she has been doing, but the agency where she came from suggested she to work for t
Goodbyes are really hard to take on. Shanty and Halton stick to their words to be with each other no matter what happens, even though they are far from each other they made a promise that they will stay loyal and faithful to each other while Alex and Shane agreed to wait for each other that fate might decide for both of them. "I am going to miss you, asshole." Shanty scoffed and pats Halton's shoulder. Halton just chuckled and nodded. "I am going to miss you, too. Call me." Halton said. Shanty nodded and grabbed her things. "So, see you again?" Alexander asked Shane. Shane just smiled at him and nodded. Ron is behind her waiting for her with Shanty. He couldn't help but smile wide for both of them, because he could see that they are really going to end up together. "I guess so. Always take care, Alex." Shane smiled. Alex nodded at her. Alex and Halton are both sad seeing their loved ones leave. As much as they want to chase and stop them, they couldn't. It's hard for both of th
Ron couldn't help but watch them from where he is right now. He couldn't stop smiling and seeing them talking together because he knows that they both really need to talk. Besides, he doesn't want Shane to leave without telling Alex about her feelings."Halton? What are you doing here?" Shanty asked.She just came out of the bathroom and was shocked to see Halton outside. Halton's face lifted up and brightened up when he saw her. Shanty was just surprised when he hugged her."Halton? Are you okay? are you sick?" she asked.But deep inside she was very happy and she just hugged him back."Hey? What is wrong with you?" she asked him.Halton just doesn't know what to say. He couldn't express his feelings right now. He just wanted to tell her how he feels right now, but he couldn't."Shanty, are you really going to leave?" he asked.Shanty just took a deep breath and sighed. She already knows where their conversation is going right now."Yes, Halton. I already told you. My life is there.
Shane doesn't know what to say. Alexander in front of her makes her feel terrible and sad. Ron is also sad waiting for her to say anything."Alex, I am sorry, but what are you doing here? We are on our way to the airport," she asked.Alexander just closed his eyes and sighed deeply. Seeing her with her things, he doesn't know what to say. Halton is as well waiting for Shanty from the bathroom because Shane told him that she went to pee."Can we talk?" Alex asked her.Shane just took a deep breath and sighed. She looked at Ron. Ron smiled at her and nodded."I really think you need to talk to her, Shane. Go on. I will leave you both for a while." Ron smiled at her.Shane just nodded and thanked her. Shane doesn't want to see Alex, because she doesn't want to have a reason to stay but looks like Alex really chased her."Shane, do you really need to leave?" Alex asked her.Shane doesn't know why he keeps on asking that to her but it made her feel weak. She can feel that he is going to be
One day before they leave, the peer is all at Shane's place to have a last-together party. Everyone is present even Ron. Ron and Alex are already friends. "I am surely going to miss you, Shane and Shanty." Natasha hugged them together. Shane and Shanty just both giggled. "We are just so sorry that we are not going to be on your wedding day. Rest assured that I will send some presents for you and Leo." Shane giggled. Natasha just pouted. "I know, but being you there is more valuable for me. Leo and I talked last night about this, and I broke down. I just can't stop seeing my friends leaving and not presents on our wedding day, my most special day." she said. Shane just took a deep breath while Shanty scoffed. "Come on, girl. Wake up. Whether we are there or not, always remember that it is you who is very important during that day." Shanty said. Natasha just pouted and took a deep breath. "I know you are just saying this to make me feel okay." she groaned. They just laughed. "
"Thank you, Alex for dropping me off. I hope Shanty and Halton area safe." Shane said as she takes her seatbelt off. Alex just smiled at her and didn't say anything but his hand stopped her from opening the door. Shane looked at him curiously. She could read into his eyes that he wanted to say something badly. "Alex?" she called his name. Alex just sighed and shakes his head as he removes his hold from her hand. Shane just looked at him. "Do you want to talk for a bit? Go on." she said. She cleared her throat and stopped opening the door. Ale just waited for a time to inhale what e wants to tell him right now. He doesn't even know why he acted cowardly. "I just want to tell you that take care and always don't stop taking care of yourself. You look happy without me." he smiled but with pain. Shane doesn't even know why he has to say that which made her chuckle a bit. He still care for her too much, but she didn't also stop worrying and caring about him. "Thank you. You also look
Alexander just took a deep breath and couldn't help himself but stare at Shane. He doesn't know but seeing her again made him feel alive and relieved. After how many days, he had seen her again and he could see that she is very happy. "I can see you are looking at her. You miss her, don't you?" Halton nudged at him. Alex just groaned and looked at him. "Will you shut up? I am just watching her over here. She seems very happy." he couldn't help but sigh. He wanted to be with her, but he respected her decision. "Why don't you go and talk to her?" Leo asked him. Alexander couldn't help but chuckle/ "Nah, I don't want to disturb her time with the other women. Let her enjoy for the meantime," he said. Leo just nodded and respected his decision even though they all want them both to talk and have some closure. After a few hours, they are already tipsy. Alexander couldn't help but watch Shane because she is already drunk even Shanty and Natasha and even Meredith. "Guess like I need t
Leo felt like the happiest man alive, while Natasha felt like the luckiest woman alive. After the dinner, they have decided that Natasha will go back to their home, and Leo s free to go here whenever he wants to. Besides, they are already engaged and they are going to prepare for their wedding as well."Congratulations!" everyone applauded.After how many days, the peer decided to throw a party for the engaged couple, Natasha and Leo. They'd done it at Lincoln's mansion."Thank you, guys. Thank you as well for coming. You are already part of my life." Natasha emotionally said.Halton just scoffed and took a deep breath."No worries, but looks like Leo is not going to come with us drinking already." Halton teased him.Natasha just chuckled and glared at Leo. Everyone is there but Alex is not yet there."By the way, how long Alex will arrive? What is taking him so long?" Halton asked Leo.Leo shrugged his shoulder. Because as he called him a while back, he was finishing his report, a ve
Natasha is very mad. She wanted to yell and scream but she has dignity and she is shy as well. Her dad and Meredith looked worriedly at her which made her scoff."Leo, you know what let us go. I don't want to eat dinner with them." she said.But before she left, Leo grabbed her arm. Natasha just closed her eyes and looked at him."Why? Why do you have to do this?" she asked.Leo just took a deep breath and closed his eyes. He doesn't know what to do right now, but he just needs to stop her from leaving."Please just hear them, love." he said.He even almost begs. Natasha just groaned."Can we talk outside for a minute?" she asked.Leo nodded and they went outside. Abraham and Meredith exchanged glances and took a deep breath. "Looks like she is still mad at us." Meredith said.Abraham just took a deep breath and sighed."Let us just wait for them to come back, honey." he mumbledMeredith just smiled and nodded at him. While they are waiting, Leo and Natasha are arguing on the balcony
Leo arrived at Shane's mansion, he is going to ask her for his plan later on."Leo, you're here. Natasha isn't home yet. She went to the market." Maria said.Leo just nodded and took a deep breath. Seems like he should have called her."Okay, Aunty. I will wait for her." he said.Maria couldn't help but chuckle. She stopped what she was doing and decided to make him some juice she also wanted to talk to him about his future with Natasha."Here you go. So, there is something I want to know, Leo." Maria said.Leo thanked her and sips his juice. "What is it?" he asked her.Maria just took a deep breath."I can see that both of you love each other. When are you planning to get married?" she asked.Leo almost got choked with her question, he was just surprised with it. Maria just laughed and gave him a tissue napkin to wipe the juice off his arm."I am sorry. I must have shocked you." she chuckled.Leo just took a deep breath and sighed. "No, it's okay. I wasn't just expecting that from
