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
“Sir, the meeting will start in thirty minutes.” Maraya informed him before leaving for her office.It didn't take long and the meeting started. After the meeting was over, Zachary asked two men to wait behind. They were the general manager and the assistant general manager.Since John was the general manager, he had to wait behind. However, his heart was pounding heavily as he kept wondering what Zachary was up to.“Sir, you asked us to wait. I hope there's no problem?" The person who spoke was the assistant General Manager, Mr. Vincent.“Uh, Yeah. Please have a seat." Zachary replied to the men while his gaze was fixated at the file before him.Zachary soon lifted his face to stare at the other man. “ Mr. Vincent." He called out.“Sir." The man replied, looking tense. He was also wondering in his heart why the young boss asked him to wait behind.After a deep sigh, Zachary nodded his head and smiled at the man. “Mr. Vincent. I must say that I'm impressed with how you handle your job
The stolen Scholarship.Zachary held the rose flower and the box of chocolates in admiration. He just could not get it off his head that he was finally going to propose a relationship with Emily. He was going to express his feelings for her. He had been nursing this feeling for a very long time and was looking for the right time and opportunity to tell her how much he had loved her. He only prayed that she also feels the same way he does.Well, judging from the way she looks and cares for him, he had concluded that she loved him too.On sighting the school bullies, Duncan and his cohorts, he immediately hid the items inside his mini bag and headed towards the School auditorium where the graduation ceremony would be held.One of Duncan's friends tapped him on the shoulder. "Look over there, it's the loser, Zack. I think he hid something inside his bag. Let's go confront him.""There won't be any need for that." Duncan replied to his friend, dismissing his suggestion with an evil smile
Can I borrow a hundred thousand dollars?Everything was getting clearer to Zachary. He stood transfixed at the duo who was making mockery of him.They were the cause of his misfortune and were laughing at him. His eyes had become red as he struggled not to shed a tear before his adversaries. He didn't want them to see him as a weak person.Emily suddenly came closer and touched his cheek. Zachary calmly took off her hands and she smiled."Well, as courtesy demands, I've come to introduce my boyfriend to you and I would be going to the same College with him."Emily went closer to Duncan and held him by the waist as she completed her statement.".....and ofcourse, with your scholarship.""Emily, you knew how I needed that scholarship. You knew that without it, it would be hard for me to further my Education. What wrong did I ever do to you that you chose to betray me like this?" Zachary lamented.With the unfolding incident, Zachary had forgotten about the flower and box of chocolates h
I did it for my grandson.Zachary's heart skipped for a bit as he exited the restaurant in a haste leaving the other workers flabbergasted. He would have the manager to contend with as he did not inform him before leaving. As he stepped out to hail a cab, a Hyundai car pulled over before him and the occupants was none other than Emily and Duncan.The seems to be like glue, always sticking together.Stepping down from the car, Emily approached Zachary who walked away to hail a cab but unfortunately for him, no vehicles were stopping for him.Fate seems to be against him today. First, his father had been rushed to the hospital, now it was Emily before him and no cab was stopping for him to get away from her taunts.Pretending not to notice her, Emily got to where he was to insult him as usual with Duncan following behind."Look who we bumped into Duncan, Same old Zach. Still poor and wretched." Emily scoffed and Duncan responded with a mocking smile.Zachary just stared at them indiffe
Where is my father?Zachary kept stealing glances at the old man as they rode in his Rolls Royce. His bodyguards followed behind. They were heading to the old Mansion where Kelvin and his wife reside. Seeing the look on his face, Kelvin said to him."Not to worry, Son, we will soon be there." Kelvin broke the awkward silence between them.Zachary smiled and hummed.The Old mansion was magnificent. It looked like a King's place with lots of guards standing at different angles. The security detail was really strong as they had passed different sets of guards. Any common person would have a very hard time passing through those gates.Alighting from the car, Zachary was awed. The place was a wonder.Zachary feasted his eyes with the beauty before him. He hadn't ever thought that in his lifetime, he would ever have an opportunity to enter such a place. Kelvin let him Gawk for a while before saying."It's your New home Son." "Huh." Zachary didn't know when he said that. His mouth was st
You better watch your back As he spoke, his voice was hoarse. If Carlos Paddington was close by, he would have been torn into shreds.Kelvin held him by the shoulder, gradually lowering him to his seat in consolation."Calm down Zachary, you will see your father soon and when he is ready to face you. For now, there are more important things I want you to focus on."Just as Kelvin was still speaking, May walked in with a glass of Cranberry juice. Walking to place it at the table before Zachary, She said. "I made fresh Cranberry juice for my grandson.""Come on, go on and try it. You would definitely love it."Zachary thanked her for the gesture. Just what he needed to calm his anger. Especially as it is his favorite juice. He really admired the old lady, though she was stricken with age, she still looked strong and even cooks.Indeed she was a strong lady."We have over a dozen domestic staff in this Mansion, yet you prefer to stress yourself with house chores." Kelvin scolded his wif
