"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 as they planned with Ian a while ago.
"I'm sorry, miss, but where is he?" the president asked her.
The lawyer just controlled her laughter and cleared her throat. She and Ian were both enjoying what they were doing after all.
"Ohh, sorry for that but the new boss doesn't want to be high-profile. So, he just wanted to talk to the president. Is that okay?" the lawyer said and asked.
The president was stunned and couldn't understand why.
"Is that so..." he blurted.
The manager looked at him with a pitiful look because he doesn't want to leave. The manager and the others were all disappointed after hearing what she said. They badly want to know and meet the new owner and boss but looked like it wasn't their time yet.
"Okay, leave us for a while." the president told them.
All of them have no choice but to nod and leave the area. As they left, Ian stood up where he was sitting and decided to head in front of the president and his lawyer.
"Hey! you, what are you still doing here?" the president asked him.
The president was so unhappy. Ian went closer to him which made him groan and glare at him. He was so irritated looking at Ian and he doesn't want a poor guy like him to be with him.
"Nothing." Ian answered with a brave tone of his voice.
The president scoffed and looked at the lawyer.
"I'm sorry but this guy has fired already a while ago and he was still here. I don't know why he was still here. Just ignore him." the president told her.
The lawyer went shocked by what the president said. She never thought he was that mean to say something about Ian.
"I'm sorry but why was he got fired?" she asked him.
The president fixed himself and took a deep breath. He doesn't know what to say as well.
"I don't know. His manager just told me that he fired this guy a while ago. Maybe... maybe he did something to get fired." the president said.
Ian just scoffed and rolled his eyes. As much as he wanted to talk about it, he doesn't have so much time and he doesn't want to waste his time either.
"Nah, let's not talk about this thing right now." he blurted.
The president looked at him with a shocked expression.
"What the heck are you saying? and you are not supposed to be here, poor guy." he said and sighed.
The lawyer just decided to keep quiet to observe and hear what they were saying. She wanted to see how they treated Ian. He went closer beside the president which made him walk backward away from Ian.
"What the heck are you doing? I don't want a low-class profile person near me. Understand?" the president madly told him.
He looked very disgusted at Ian. The lawyer just sighed and shook her head. Ian just took a deep breath and shook his head while he put his arms crossed to his chest. He didn't say anything because he was waiting for the exciting next part.
"You know what, you are so true to yourself. You are so rude and harsh to a person like me." Ian chuckled a bit and scoffed.
The president was getting pissed. He doesn't even know why the lawyer just let him come near them.
"For Christ's sake, can you just leave us and go?!" the president even shouted at him.
Ian just chuckled and before the president asked him to leave again, the lawyer cleared her throat making the president and Ian to look at him.
"You came here earlier than I thought, boss." she said.
At this time and point, Ian smirked while looking at the president with a very shocked and regretful expression written at his face. He went very speechless that he can't even move.
"Wh-at?" he asked.
The president almost fell and sat to the ground. He couldn't think that Ian, the person whom he had said bad and harsh things a while back was the new owner and boss of the company. He wouldn't believe that Ian was the new guy.
"A low-profile like him?" he couldn't still believe it.
The lawyer just nodded at him while Ian couldn't stop laughing at him.
"What...." the president just blurted.
He even took a deep breath and closed his eyes thinking that he was just dreaming but as he opened his eyes, he closed them again after realizing it wasn't a dream. The lawyer just chuckled as well at him.
"Yes, I'm the new boss and owner. I'm sorry but I don't want everyone to know about me and my identity so that I could work here as a manager and I want to know and see how the company works." Ian waved his hand at him.
