"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.
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
"Ahhh! You are so handsome and hot!" Alexander was so mad, because Shania didn't tell the designer not to be noisy inside the mansion because he hates noise.He just groaned and slowly pushed the gay who was hugging his waist, but more like he was harassing him."I'm sorry, can you not do that?" he asked him.The gay just looked at him and playfully played with his lips which made him look away. "Did Shania tell you about something I hate inside the mansion?" Alex asked him.The gay shrugged his shoulder and shook his head. Alex closed his eyes and groaned. He thought Shania told him just as what he asked her to say."Anyways, my name is Peach, and I am here to measure you." Peach as he introduced himself winked at her.Alexander hated gays, not the sort of gays, but he hates gays like Peach, a very noisy one and talkative one."Okay, Peach, can you just start measuring and finished it earlier because I need to do something." he lied.Peach just chuckled and puts his finger on his li
