Ian could feel the power and authority radiating from him, he was clearly someone important. “You didn’t have to save her, and you are clearly drinking for a reason, so why help?” “Does it matter?” Ian hissed, he wasn’t in the mood to bow down to some rich man. He had enough on his plate today to care. He was surprised when the man suddenly laughed. Ian was expecting this man to have him thrown out, not to be amused by what he had just said. “I like you.” The intimidating figure finally spoke. Ian couldn’t help but look up at him in curiosity, most powerful men didn’t like being talked back to. “Marco, get his details. I see a future for this one.” For some reason Ian knew at that moment that his life would change, that he would no longer need to settle for rich kid’s scraps. Something about this man’s words seemed like a promise to help. ____________________________________________________________________________ In a world where the poor just get poorer, and the rich get richer, can Ian go against the tide and rise again?

Chapter 62

"So what was with all that?" Ian asked as he gave Seth a confused look.

"I guess I should start by explaining who I am outside of work." Seth said with a laugh as he shook his head.

"Yeah, start with that." Ian told Seth with a nod.

"Clearly you've guessed by now that I'm not just some employee." Seth said with a grin.

"Clearly." Ian mockingly said with a laugh.

He flinched as he noticed the two men who had been shadowing Seth suddenly make a move towards him.

"Relax, he is a friend." Seth told the two men, who once more took a step back and retreated.

"Sorry about that." Seth said with a frown. "So what do you think I am."

At first Ian hesitated, he had a theory but it seems so unlikely that it was the only possible answer.

He decided to simply risk it and tell Seth of his suspicion.

"Do you belong to a gang of some sort?" Ian asked as he shifted in his seat. He knew it was a crazy question to ask, but he was curious.

Seth laughed at Ian's question, shaking his head.
