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."

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

Calling Security on the CEOEmily laughed him to scorn. He was basically blabbing. There was no way Zachary that she knew would own a company such as this.Even though the company belonged to his grandfather, Zachary was not sure what was in Kelvin's mind. He was yet to find out what Kelvin would introduce him as before his staff.He only claimed to be the owner of the company just to get Emily to talk. And of course, it worked. Zachary was already a hundred million dollars rich. Something he was sure the general manager, who happened to be Emily's father, was not worth."You're so delusional Zach. I think you've gone insane and no mad person is allowed in this Vicinity." Emily snapped at him while bringing out her cellphone."I'm calling the security to throw you out immediately."Zachary beckoned on her to go ahead. Seeing the boldness he exhibited, Emily was somewhat confused. This was not the Zachary she knew. Firstly, he claimed to own this company and now he told her to go ahe

Because there was confusion in the air, people did not really notice Emily who almost fell to the ground.From where he was standing, John stared at Zachary in bewilderment. Although he dressed simple, he looked different.Zachary did not really notice the other employees. As he scanned through the crowd, his sight caught Emily and her father. He smiled as they avoided his gaze."Well, this young man here is my grandson and you don't need to know why he does not bear the surname Paddington." Kelvin's voice interrupted them."So from now onward, I'm officially stepping down as CEO. I would let your new CEO address you now."Zachary felt chill run through his spine. How would he address these people? He had never been in a position of power befor

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

Chapter 117. Work or quit
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.

Chapter 116. What do you think?
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

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

"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

Chapter 113. Another version of Emily
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

Chapter 112. Long lost grandson
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

Chapter 111. I was wrong
"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

Chapter 110. Most beautiful girl in school
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
