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 However, that wasn't entirely true because there were other girls whose beauty superseded hers."Zachary glanced at Mirabel and continued.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
"That person looks like Mirabel." Emily muttered from under her breath. As she turned to look closely at the type of vehicle, the car had already started leaving. However, she was able to catch the plate number and deduced something. It wasn't Mirabel's car. Moreover, she drove her car by herself."Whose vehicle was that?" Emily tried to think of where she had seen that exact vehicle."Yeah, I remember now. I'm sure I've seen that plate number somewhere and it matches with the color of the vehicle I know. Oh! It's Zachary's. I've seen him exit the company in that same car."Emily was stunned at the discovery. "What would Mirabel be doing in Zachary's car when she has her own. Moreover, where were they going?"Emily was trying so hard to find out what was really going on. Mirabel had earlier told her that they were not in a relationship yet. However, it looked like they were going to some kind of party together."Yeah, that's it. I'm sure Zachary had asked her to accompany him. It only
Zachary and Mirabel were approached by Kelvin as soon as they alighted from the car. Zachary's car was initially refused access to the residence until he called Kelvin and it was confirmed. The security guards stared at Zachary in bewilderment and wondered how he was suddenly related to Kelvin, the richest man in Texas. They knew Kelvin because their boss had had some contact with him. And the social media also portrayed him as the richest which was quite true.Kelvin reached out and hugged his grandson. After they pulled out of the embrace, Zachary introduced Mirabel to him."Grandpa, This is Mirabel, my…""Your girlfriend." Kelvin helped him to complete the statement with a broad smile on his face. Mirabel was already blushing from the initial compliment Kelvin had given to her. She hurriedly ended the call with Emily when Kelvin started throwing compliments at her. Hopefully, Emily didn't hear any of it or she'd get more jealous. 'So what if she gets jealous. That's her problem n
Zachary lifted his face to see a gorgeous young lady staring down at him. She was smiling at him as she stretched forth her right hand to shake him. Zachary didn't need to confirm her question because everyone was already talking about him. "My name is Alice and you're at our home. Mr Ferdinand is my grandpa."The Ferdinands had called for a dinner party and invited only the elites in the city. It was a way of building a network and for business expansion. Zachary was only there because his grandfather invited him. He didn't know a lot of VIPs. All the people he had had business contact with were confused to see that Kelvin made him the new CEO. To them, it seemed that Zachary just came out of nowhere and was made the CEO of such a reputable company.However, they could not question Kelvin's decision. It was only the staff who knew the relationship Zachary had with Kelvin. Although they wouldn't dare run their mouth for fear of being sacked.Rising to his feet, Zachary shook the you
"What do you mean by that?" With furrowed brows, Zachary gave her a questioning look. "Why would your name be on the news tomorrow?""Nevermind Zach, it's just an expression. You should understand what I was trying to imply. Did you not see the way that girl spoke to the maid like she was not a human being? That was not fair and I could no longer stand the sight. If I were to stand up for the maid and confront her, she might insult me and I would be able to take it."Zachary was silent for a while before saying to her."Emily was your friend for so many years before you guys fell apart the previous night, did she not demean people before your presence?"Emily was rendered speechless."Ugh, actually Zach…""You don't have to answer that." Zachary didn't let her finish before cutting in."Well, I'm sure that you're no longer in the mood for the dinner party. I'll go look for my grandparents and inform them before we leave."Mirabel nodded in approval. Indeed, she was no longer in the
When Emily left the mall, she went back home to finish up with the weekend job Zachary gave to her. He was really punishing her and she doesn't know how long she'd take it.She had angrily left the mall and went back to dig herself into the work. It was a way of getting her mind off everything.Mirabel went out with Zachary as his date.After a while, her father was back and went to knock on her door. “Honey, I'm back." Swiftly, Emily rose to her feet and raced to the door. “I'm coming, Dad?" Before she could open the door, John was already on his way downstairs. “Come on, let's have our dinner." Without another word, Emily raced downstairs and to the dining table. “Hi, Dad. You're back." John only glanced at his daughter and nodded. " Yeah, what have you been up to? Tell me, did you speak with Mirabel?”Emily instantly darkened her expression when she heard Mirabel’s name.“That betrayer." She muttered to herself.“What did you say?" John inquired. It was him who encouraged E
Stone, who was not expecting such a question, lifted his eyes and glanced at the rearview mirror. “Ma'am, what did you say?" He pretended not to hear her the first time.Mirabel chuckled and asked the question again. “Do you think that anything can happen between me and your boss?”Stone swallowed hard. He was completely at a loss for words.After a moment of silence, he replied to Mirabel. “I…uh,.. I don't have an answer to that question.”Although Stone really wanted Zachary to end up with Mirabel, his boss was the one to make the choice himself.Mirabel smiled while still watching Stone from the mirror.“Ok, tell me what you think about me? Do you think I'd be good for Zach?" Stone pursed his lips and nodded. “Yes Ma'am, you're a great person and I think you and my boss will look good together. However, he's the one who would make the choice." “Does Zach have a girlfriend? Tell me the truth." Mirabel continued to probe further. Although she had confessed her feelings for Zachary
Thinking that the lady will get angry, Zachary was stunned to hear her dismiss the matter.“It's ok, I hope it went well?”"Yeah, it did go well before someone came to piss me off.” Zachary replied truthfully. Although he had no intention of telling Chloe about going with Mirabel."What happened?” Chloe asked with concern. "And who's the person who offended you?”"It's a young lady flirting with me. What got me angry was the way she treated the waiter. She was so rude and arrogant. I had to tell her off and left the venue.”"Oh.” Chloe was at a loss for words.After a moment of silence, Zachary decided to change the topic.The duo chatted for a while until they were taken away by the sandman.At the office the next morning, Emily made her way to Zachary's office. On her hands was the file she was asked to work on that weekend. She was already through with the work and kept praying that Zachary would not ask her to work on something else.She already has her own work and Zachary was g
