Chapter 231: Difficult to impossible


    Xoan furrowed hearing Nathan. As much as he heard about n, he was highly punctual and workaholic who tries to keep time behind and works ahead.


    He had a little doubt n might be doing it on purpose but he assumed n wasn''t like that given his track record.


    He was meeting n for the first time so he kind of looked forward to knowing how they were going toe to the conclusion.


    Nathan was pacing near the elevator after sending coffee to Xoan and his secretaries. It had been five minutes but n wasn''t in sight and didn''t reply to his messages either.


    <em>[Daemon: President Morgan, CEO West is waiting for you.]</em>


    Nathan wanted to call n to ask when he was starting meeting but he wasn''t ready to look at his brooding fierce eyes.


    He called n''s secretary and directly jumped to the point, "Mayon, check what President Morgan is doing."


    "No way." Mayon''s immediate terror voice sounded.


    Nathan brows twitched and ordered, "Peek at him and tell me now."


    Mayon muttered and went towards n''s office. He creaked open the door to see n standing nkly looking at his tab but next second...


    <em>''Thump''</em>


    Mayon fell back when n''s gaze turned to sharp shifting towards the door due to the creak of the door.


    Mayon knew it, his president was like a wild lion always ready to attack the prey for a simple small movement or mistake.


    He regretted following Nathan''s order. He clumsily stood up andughed awkwardly, "President Morgan... Na..."


    n hated when employees me other employees so he stopped mid-sentence from taking <em>Nathan</em>''s name. He quickly thought about the reason for Nathan''s call.


    n had seen Nathan''s message so he walked towards the door knowing the reason behind Mayon peeking inside.


    When Mayon realized there was a meeting with Xoan West, he raised his head, "Pre..." He gulped seeing n from near but n brushed past him without care.


    Mayon breathed a sigh of relief and kept the mobile back to the ear, "Assistant..."


    "I thought you were dead." Nathan growled at him who was tired of calling his name.


    Mayon gritted his teeth moving his phone a little away from his ear. Nathan was coldhearted which the wholepany knew but he was better than n so Mayon handled it cursing them in mind and spoke.


    "President Morgan will be there in a few seconds."


    Mayon hung up the call before Nathan''s response, "Crazy people..."


    Other secretaries heard him and burst intoughter looking at Mayon''s defeated face.


    n exited the elevator and went towards the meeting room as Nathan trailed behind him praying Xoan shouldn''t be pissed off for waiting fifteen minutes.


    n was emotionless and walked in. All stood up in respect except Xoan who watched him.


    Xoan didn''t expect n''s demeanor to be frosty, chilling the room instantly. He had seen his pictures and interviews where he looked like a naive emotionless alluring man and in reality, he was even more attractive and formidable.


    Xoan felt like n should have tried in the entertainment industries rather than business industries.


    "Greeting to President Morgan." Xoan''s secretary greeted n on behalf of Xoan''s team.


    n didn''t care to react and motioned his hand to start the meeting.


    Xoan who was just two years older than n thought he might greet or give a face to him but got nothing as expected. So he decided to break the ice.


    "President Morgan, I''m pleased to meet you in person."


    One second...


    Two seconds...


    Three seconds...


    Nathan''s lips were twitching uncontrobly.<em> ''Where has the President''s professionalism gone? Why is he acting weird?''</em>


    Nine seconds...


    Ten seconds...


    n''s eyes moved from the file to Xoan carrying no warmth, "I wasted your time CEO West. Let''s get to the point."


    Xoan''s face was dark as coal, cold as an Antarctica iceberg because n taunted in two ways, for not worrying about his time and for greeting friendly.


    Nathan who worked under n for nearly seven years easily understood n didn''t like to see Xoan but he didn''t know the reason.


    Secretary of Xoan who was trembling in her ce couldn''t help but to peek at n, <em>''Doesn''t President Morgan know about CEO West? Why does he want to go to the bad books?''</em>


    In her daze checking out n, she didn''t notice Xoan cueing her to speak.


    Nathan who noticed them pursed his lips to a thin line, <em>''You should just try on your boss. Our Daemon ice king doesn''t care about anybody.''</em>


    Xoan clenched his fist and turned to see the secretary in the haze.


    Secretary was lucky she was a woman else he would have smacked her head on the table.


    He asked through clenched teeth in a low voice, "Is he handsome?"


    "Very much..." Secretary''s dreamy voice choked herself.


    Xoan smirked, "You can apply for his secretary, you are fired. Get out."


    Nathan counted to himself, <em>''Ninth employee.''</em> who got fired or scolded by the employers for forgetting the asion and swooning on n.


    n was checking the file. They were present offering them a lower price and better time slot for the new airing drama of Morgan Entertainment.


    He didn''t care whether they presented or not. He threw the file back on the table andzily said, "I have to turn down this offer. Anyway, I must say you have lowered your values."


    Nathan: "..."


    <em>''President Morgan, that''s ''Price''. Why are you taunting CEO West? You already have enough in your te to clean up and handle.''</em>


    Nathan wanted to weep but he controlled and closed the file which he was checking.


    Xoan''s eyes darkened. He tried to bury his rising anger by gnashing his teeth.


    The lowered price wasn''t much, it was still beneficial to them and he couldn''t understand why n was looking down on him.


    Clenching his fist tight, "As a long time coborator, I think Focus deserves an exnation, President Morgan."


    n brows raised up slightly and gave a single nod, "Nathan, get me the file which is on my desk."


    Xoan''s brows twitched. He was the CEO West who the business industries were scared to mess up but n didn''t give a face to him but his tone sounded quite amiable ordering his mere assistant.


    In fact, n was the same as he works. His unemotional tone was pleasant and deep to hear which wasn''t cold so he felt n was amiable.


    Nathan quickly got into action and excused himself.


    The meeting room was frosty. Another secretary of Xoan and n''s secretary felt it was hard to breathe in such air.


    n nonchntly worked on theptop while Xoan red at n. Xoan had thought if everything goes well, he should have a good chat with n but by the looks of it, it was difficult to impossible.


    He understood that the rumors were right. n didn''t have a heart. He was just a brain and looks.


    Suddenly they heard a chortle and turned to see a youngdy near the ss wall who was on skates.


    Xoan''s jaws almost dropped seeing what happened next.
