PRESENT TIME
'And then, the next morning, Ivan asked me to take him in. Now, he's like my mother scolding me. Why is he so in character?' She muttered internally, recalling what happened that night.
Now, Angelo and Ivan were her assistants. Since the former could read and speak Mandarin , he was more suited for the role. On the other hand, Ivan was just there, existing.
"I should demote him and send him to classes so he could learn." Zoey massaged her temples, shaking her head sideways as she considered Angelo's suggestion.
"Ivan, can you come here for a moment?" After further contemplation, Zoey decided to call Ivan through her transceiver while massaging her temple. "This will be stressful," she murmured rolling her eyes while she waited for Ivan to come in.
Shortly after, Zoey heard a knock on the door before Ivan opened it. "Boss, what is it?" He asked, entering inside before closing the door behind him.
