Zachary paused in his steps as soon as Mirabel's question came forth. Smiling inwardly, he turned and replied to her."I'm the same old Zach. Now, if you would excuse me I'd like to take my leave. And I would advise you to end that love brewing in you. It would only come to naught. I would never be with anyone who is a friend of Emily."Exiting the place almost in a haste, Zachary did not give her any more chances to speak further.Staring at Zachary's retreating figure, Mirabel let out a smug smile. She was determined like never before to conquer his love, and it was a feat she must achieve. With Zachary's car already out of sight, Mirabel took out her cellphone and glanced at it quickly.Shit! It's 8pm already and her parents would be worried sick that she isn't back. She was yet to reach home since the close of work. This was not usually her route from work but she just decided to drive through the path and she was happy she did. Bumping into Zachary and professing the love she h

Emily hurriedly left the company as soon as it was the close of work. As the last words Zachary said to her kept repeating in her head, she felt so agitated.'Just know that the next time this happens, you will be fired.'The next time what happens exactly? What does he even mean by that? The worst was that he did not state her offense. He just asked her to leave his office afterwards.As far as she could remember, she hadn't done anything that would warrant being fired. Unless it was for what happened years ago.Sitting at the bar counter, Emily was sipping her hot mulled cider. It has been one of her worst days at work. The fear of losing her job was something she was dreading so much. Influitive oil and gas was the biggest company and losing her job was equal to demotion.What company would pay her as much as Influitive pays her?Restless, She suddenly packed her hair into a messy bun as she anticipated the arrival of Duncan. She had called him on her way because she needed his com

With the onlookers watching in bewilderment, Zachary was hurled into the police car as he stared at Mr Cedric. Confusion written on his face.Before the perplexed onlookers could bring out their phones in order to take videos, Zachary had already been shoved in the police vehicle.Confused and puzzled he muttered something under his breath. "Why am I being arrested? Surely, I have the right to know my offense.""Quiet, you criminal. One more word from you and I will give you a resounding slap." One of the two policemen shouted at him as he gave him a death stare. His eyes were cold and domineering.Zachary kept to himself after the officer's warning. Since he knows about his right to a phone call, he knows exactly who to call.He was not going to call Mr. Kelvin over a trivial matter like this. He would not dare disturb the old man when his subordinate was more powerful than Mr. Cedric. Soon, they alighted from the car and the two policemen dragged him by the shirt like he was some

It baffled Mr Stone that Zachary asked to be driven to the hospital rather than resorting to boarding a taxi. Interesting indeed.Although he had chosen to be driven in the cheapest of the cars at his garage. Kelvin had gotten a few cars for him since he moved into Villa. Driving a simple car would not arouse suspicion and cause people at the hospital to raise eyebrows. If he is seen at the hospital alighting from a Rolls Royce, people would definitely ask questions.However, Zachary had his reason for going to the hospital with his car as he would not want to take his grandfather home in a taxi. Alighting from the car, Zachary went to the doctor's office for the necessary paperworks.The door opened to reveal a slender and tall man in his early thirties who was wearing glasses. Upon seeing Zachary, the doctor immediately recognized him and greeted with a friendly smile. "Good morning Mr Zachary. How can I help you this morning?""Good morning doctor, I hope my grandfather's health

Zachary planned to take up Nana's offer of spending time with her at the beach. Kelvin can tag along, if he wished. Although, Zachary was feeling awkward about the whole arrangement. On the contrary, his Nana was elated, so she packed all the goodies she could lay her hands on just for her grandson.However, Kelvin decided to tag along after all.Since it was the weekend, there was nothing wrong with having a little fun and spending time with the family that had given him relevance in society. It was only right for him to get to know them and possibly bond. And it was at such times that families bond with each other.The drive to fountain beach was quite long and boring. With Zachary leaving his ailing father in the care of a nurse and the domestic staff, Zachary rode down the beach with Stone driving.He wore a loose-fitting linen floral shirt and flowy kimono shorts. Lying on the car seat was his dark sunshade as well as a beach hat. Zachary has never gone to the beach before. He co
