Just as Susan was browsing through the menu, Sigrun, sitting opposite her, started again, "Oh yeah, Ms. Susan, how did you end up with Ian here? Ian, isn't the securities firm closed on Saturdays? What brings you here?"

Since Ian came here to study, Solomon had been continuing to train him by assigning him tasks in Hayes Corporation.

He would usually carry out the tasks when he did not need to attend classes. Some of the firms would even operate on weekends to match his timing.
