There were times when others had sat opposite Ash to go over various matters, but each time that he showed up to a meeting, it was surprising for Ash to see him seated there to handle her matters himself.
Although he did not say much a lot of the time and kept to business matters, he was helpful in many ways when giving explanations or advice.
Sometimes it felt like he was teaching her from a high position, as if he were in a mentoring position while trying to nurture a possible talent so that it did not go to waste.
Ian sat calmly as he watched her enter the room.
It was like he was studying her every movement and action as if assessing her carefully.
There would be several people who would falter under such a critical gaze, but Ash did not show any response to it.
She moved toward her seat under his gaze and sat opposite him while adjusting the seat a little as she sat down.
