"What? What damages? If I pay for her treatment, who's going to pay for mine? You watched the video yourself and saw that she slapped me first. Don't you think I also need medical attention?" Mirabel flared up to the officers' bewilderment. She had been quiet all that time and they thought she was not a talker.Even though Emily slapped her, there was no physical injury. She just flared up because Emily was looking for a way to extort money from her.Emily burst into laughter but stopped when the bruises on her face hurt her. She only resorted to giggling as she made a mocking face at Mirabel."Calm down, Miss Mirabel." The officer who was with her tried to pacify her. Quietly, she sat back on her seat. "You see, from the video, you beat her up mercilessly and gave her a few bruises. You also tore her clothes and she's asking that you pay for her torn dress and for her treatment."Lifting her face, Mirabel glared at Emily and directed her gaze back to the policeman. "How am I supposed

"What do you mean by that? 'I can use my friend to get what I want' I don't even understand what you're trying to say." Emily gave her father a questioning look. She thought that he was beating about the bush."And Dad. Mirabel is no longer my friend."John glanced at his daughter and hissed."Mirabel has grown closer to Zachary. You should not have fought with her because of that. Instead, you could just make her talk to Zachary by using your friendship as an edge. You can tell her to help convince Zachary to forget about what we did to him in the past. That way, it's a win-win for us as we don't get kicked out of the company."Emily's mouth fell apart.She hadn't thought about that. It was a good idea. Instead of picking up a fight with Mirabel, she should have just used her to salvage their situation. Unfortunately, they had become sworn enemies."We're no longer friends. She won't ever talk to me again. How do I make her help us when we've severed all our ties?" With furrowed brow

Mirabel was dumbfounded.She didn't believe that Zachary would ask her such a question. What has the fight got to do with escorting him for a dinner party? It could only affect it if she was seriously injured. Fortunately, she had no scratch on her body.The only slap that Emily gave to her was no longer hurting. Moreover, it didn't leave any mark on her face. "Zach. You don't have to worry about that. I've already made you a promise and will do all I can to keep it." Mirabel assured him.Zachary was a little embarrassed.Maybe he was being paranoid. However, it's safe to be cautious. He wouldn't want to show up at the dinner party alone. Zachary was not interested in meeting any girl.If his grandpa Kelvin were to introduce a girl to him. He'd be expecting that he got along with her and that the relationship moved forward. Zachary didn't want to crush his grandfather's expectations of him."Ugh, ok. Thank you. I just needed confirmation from you. I wanted to be sure that I hadn't re

For a few seconds, Zachary gaped into space. He was still trying to absorb the information. Mirabel was at the gate of his house. But how did she find out where he lives?Has she been stalking him?He shook his head vigorously, refusing to believe that Mirabel was a stalker. No one, except for his family knew where he lived, not even Maraya, his secretary.Still deeply engrossed in his thoughts, Mirabel called out his name from the phone and he picked it up."Zach, why aren't you saying anything? Are you coming out yourself or should I give the phone to the security man?"Yeah... Yeah." Zachary quickly replied to her. She was already there and it'd be unfair to keep her waiting outside. Mirabel gave the phone to the man standing outside. "Here, he wants to speak with you."Swiftly, the man took the phone. "Sir, am I permitted to let them inside?"The man was being cautious after he was yelled at, the last time. He had let Carlos Paddington inside because the man claimed to be his fat

Zachary descended the stairs in style. He was dressed in a black notch lapel suit and black shoes to match. He had a pair of glasses on his right hand while his left hand was inside his pocket. He looked dashing in his outfit and quiff hairstyle. Mirabel could not help but gape at the young man as he marched towards them.Following Mirabel's gaze, Nathan saw that it was Zachary approaching. He stared at the young lady and to Zachary before clearing his throat, distracting Mirabel.Mirabel smiled and turned her face away, a blush making its way on her face. She was happy that the man had been distracted from probing her to answer his question."Ofcourse, everyone in our class knew Emily. Infact, she was popular in the whole school because she thought she was the most beautiful girl. However, that wasn't entirely true because there were other girls whose beauty superseded hers."Zachary glanced at Mirabel and continued. "Dad, Mirabel is our guest and you shouldn't be asking her such kin
