"Why do you keep disturbing my line? Are you that dumb that you don't get when someone does not want to talk to you?" Emily blurted out and swiftly ended the call without letting the person utter a word."What nonsense." She barked and let out a deep sigh before continuing her work. Taking one glance at her phone, a call from the same person came in again and she quickly ended it. She decided to do what should have been done long ago. She blacklisted the number.It was a colleague of hers who had been asking her out. However, Emily was not interested but he kept pestering her. She had warned him several times to desist from disturbing her, but he wouldn't listen. Emily saved his number because he had initially presented himself to be a gentleman on the first day they met outside the company. It was on the close of work when Emily exited the elevator and was on the way to her car. They bumped into each other outside and her bag fell on the ground with her things scattered everywhere.

"Is anything the matter? Or is there something you want to tell me?" Chloe was gradually nursing feelings for Zachary. However, she wasn't sure on Zachary's side. She thought it happened so swiftly. How could she fall for a guy so easily? It was unlike her.She was wondering how it happened. Chloe had been so choosy in her relationships. She only had one boyfriend during high school and they broke up after graduation. Chloe never bothered to try again because she was afraid of another heartbreak. Moreover, she didn't see her kind of man in any of the guys in college."I was wondering if we could talk more on video calls. I mean, it's fine if you don't want to. We can just continue with the normal phone calls." Zachary said the words carefully. He wasn't sure if the lady would give in to his demand. He just wanted to see her face more often. Maybe it would help him not think about Mirabel. Especially after having to see her again.Chloe let out a chuckle before replying to him. "Sure,

Emily managed to maintain a calm composure. It was no longer funny so she decided to speak out. Glancing at Zachary's, he did not pay heed to the lady before him. He had already given his instructions, so it was up to her to get back to work. Moreover, the time was already reading."But Sir…" Zachary lifted his face and gazed at the lady before him. "Yes?""I… Ugh… I went through it very well before coming to submit it. I'm quite sure there's no mistake there."Zachary stopped working and focused on Emily. Folding his arms around his chest, Zachary glared at Emily who quickly got the point. It seemed like Zachary was not ready for a long talk. "I'll work on it again, Emily took the file containing the sheets she needed to rework on and exited the place."Outside the office, she almost bumped into Maraya who was coming to serve her boss some coffee.Without throwing a glance at the lady, Emily made for the elevator and disappeared into it.Maraya did not utter a word, she carefully o

Mirabel was on the other line and Zachary thought that it was a coincidence that Mirabel called him at the same time he was looking at her pictures. However, he decided to pick up to learn the reason why she was calling."Hi Mirabel, What's up.""Zach, I was calling to remind you of tomorrow. Endeavor not to miss it." Mirabel spoke from the other end of the line."Oh ok, I'll try not to miss it. Even if I did, I'll surely compensate you for missing your mother's birthday party." Zachary replied calmly. He was going after all but wanted to know how Mirabel would react to what he just said."I don't need compensation, I need your presence." Mirabel retorted in a serious tone and Zachary could not help but smile. She was taking this too serious. It's just a birthday party after all, and it would happen with or without his presence.Why was Mirabel sounding as though his presence mattered much?"I'm still waiting for your response Zach." She reminded him that he was yet to say something.

"Who is it?" Zachary inquired from inside with a little raised tone. "Sir, I've come to let you know that Mr. Nathan is waiting for you. He's already seated in the car." Stone voiced out from outside.Zachary smiled to himself, he thought grandpa Nathan was too eager to go out. He was already waiting for him in the car. Really?"I'll be out in a minute." Zachary stated and Stone left to wait for him in the car. The bodyguards were ready themselves to do their jobs. Zachary thought he could do without the bodyguards because they'd attract so much attention towards them. However, they were following a higher instruction. They couldn't possibly disobey Kelvin since it was him who employed them.Not long after, Zachary joined them in the car and they Zoomed off.***After visiting a resort and a few interesting places, Nathan thought that he'd had enough for the day. To him, dusk was already drawing near and Nathan asked them to go home."Are you sure you want to go home now? Remember, it
