Chapter 1777 Ian
In the end, Susan didn’t stop them because she wanted to see if her hunch about Yasmin was correct.
Is she approaching Ian because of an ulterior motive?
Susan trailed behind them closely in a cab.
Soon, she realized Yasmin was taking Ian downtown on her moped. After leaving the university, they arrived at the office that Ian and a few others worked at.
Seeing that they had arrived, Yasmin stopped the moped and looked up. “Is this the place?” she asked.
Ian didn’t reply.
He was still feeling a little odd on his first ride on the moped. Besides, after realizing that his hands were around Yasmin’s waist when the moped stopped, he quickly withdrew his hands.
Why does such a weird vehicle exist? I must be crazy to ride on it!
“Ian? I’m talking to you. What are you thinking?”
Yasmin turned around and frowned at Ian impatiently because he hadn’t replied her.
Ian hurriedly looked away and got down from the moped. “Yes, it’s here,” he confirmed.
“Okay. Wait here first. I’ll go and park the moped. Then, we’ll go up together.”
With that said, Yasmin parked her moped at the roadside.
Ian stood rooted to the ground and did nothing. Until Yasmin headed toward him, only did he remembered to inform the people in the building about his arrival.
As he took out his phone with his lips pursed, Yasmin saw him and blurted, “What are you doing? Don’t be afraid, Ian. With me here, they won’t be able to get away with it.”
Yasmin snatched Ian’s phone away and tucked it into his bag. Then, grabbing his hand, she marched into the building.
Susan was speechless as she watched them from a distance.
She’s so bold! Isn’t she afraid of Ian at all?
Ian was known for his cold and indifferent demeanor. He had the same temper as his father. If a stranger touched him, he would yank his hand away.
However, Ian didn’t react much to Yasmin grabbing his hand.
Susan was surprised by his reaction. Nevertheless, she quickly followed them.
Meanwhile, Ian and Yasmin had entered the elevator.
“Did you inform them that you’ll be coming today?”
Seeing that Ian was silent since they went into the building, Yasmin started the conversation by asking him about the people in the building. Besides, she wanted to be prepared for later.
Ian gulped. “Yes…”
“Great. If they have prepared your salary when we reach the office, we’ll let them off. If they refuse to give you the money, we’ll have to use the second option.”
“There’s… a second option?”
Ian finally looked into Yasmin’s eyes.
“Of course,” Yasmin said confidently, “How can you be unprepared when facing these people? Don’t worry, I have told a senior about our situation. If we get into trouble here, I will speed dial him. He will call the police and the officers from the Department of Labor. Once the officers arrive, the people in this company will be the ones in trouble instead.”
Ian didn’t expect Yasmin, a girl who was barely twenty, to have such an elaborated plan.
He went silent.
Should I inform Yvonne and ask them to just leave the money out so that we can save the confrontation?
However, it was too late for anything to be done. Yvonne was already waiting for them at the office. Upon their arrival, Yvonne and the others started their act.
“You want your salary? You’re not even eighteen! You’re lucky that we still hire you and pay you a few hundred. How dare you come back with someone else to ask for more?”
“She’s right. We’ve paid you according to the contract. You clearly knew the salary and agreed to it before starting work,” Yvonne’s assistant chimed in.
The corner of Ian’s twitched. Embarrassed, he turned around and looked away.
The change in their script was done after Yvonne messaged Ian to confirm the details. The truth was if Ian was discovered to be working in the company, there might be dire consequences in the future because Ian was still underage.
As expected, Yasmin was furious.
Face reddened with anger, Yasmin glared at Yvonne and the others fearlessly and said, “That’s funny. Are you saying that you’re purposely making use of the fact that he is underage?”
“What did you say?”
“Am I wrong? It’s illegal to sign a contract with an underage knowingly. If you still refuse to pay him, we’ll go to the Department of Labor and report you.”
“You…”
Yvonne was so angry that her face turned green on the spot.
What the hell, Ian? How did he get involve with such a troublesome person? What should we do now?
Yvonne looked to Ian for help.
However, Ian merely replied, “Let’s not go through the trouble. Just pay me the money.”
