The deprived Orphan who became a Billionaire Chapter 60. Dinner date
Stone was fixated at a spot for a while. He was still trying to comprehend what Zachary just told him. He's getting a necklace for Mirabel as a peace offering. Wow! Stone found himself chuckling. "What? Would you keep smiling or start driving to the Mall. Remember, I've got just some minutes." Zachary nudged him causing Stone to abruptly start the car. "Right, Sir."Not long, they pulled over at the mall and Zachary quickly alighted. Throwing a quick glance at his watch, he found out that the time was thirty five minutes past six pm. He had just twenty five minutes.Zachary and Stone rushed towards the jewelry section where they had met the black-haired girl sometime ago. Scanning through the show glasses for the perfect necklace, Zachary settled for one that caught his fancy. Signaling at an attendant to come and bring it out. A blonde lady in jean trousers and jacket came around."Welcome Sir, which one would you like to buy?" Pointing to the one he had chosen, the attendant took

The waiter's face gleamed with a bright smile as he stole a glance at Mirabel. "Please, make your order."Mirabel pointed to a dish on the menu. "I'd like to have this one?" The waiter nodded in acknowledgement. Turning to face Zachary, he asked. "What about you Sir?""I'll have my usual."The waiter nodded his head before leaving.Zachary lifted his face to meet with Mirabel's glare. Furrowing his brows, he asked. "What? Why are you staring at me in that manner. Have I done something inappropriate?"Mirabel's glare turned to a sneer, throwing Zachary into more confusion. "Will you talk to me? Or am I putting on my shirt wrongly?" Zachary scanned through his outfit. Ofcourse, there was nothing wrong with it. It was the same outfit he wore to the office.Zachary kept pushing her to say something before she finally spoke. "You told me that you don't like the food here. How come you already have a usual."Zachary lowered his face his embarrassment."So much for someone who hates the meal
The deprived Orphan who became a Billionaire Chapter 62. You like her.
Mirabel froze at the confession. Just when she thought that things will gradually fall into place and they were shattering. Her face instantly went pale.Tilting her face, Mirabel remained calm for a while and Zachary kept wondering what was going on in her mind.Still trying to catch a glimpse of her facial expression, Mirabel lifted up her face and their eyes met. She had an indifferent face which reverted into a forced smile. "It's fine. I cannot force you to love me back and can't also force myself to stop loving you. However, what you just said won't make me stop chasing after you so long as you're not yet with anyone." Mirabel made her point straight and smiled. "Alright then, thank you for your time.""Thank you Zach for this little time. It was worth it."Zachary sorted out their bills and they started towards the door together. Opening the door, Zachary almost bumped into a lady. "Sorry," they both apologized to each other at the same time. Zachary recognized her immediately

"Duncan?" Zachary muttered from under his breath. He pretended not to have noticed him and went to another side of the bar. However, Duncan kept blabbering about with his fellow drunk colleague."You see, It was my girlfriend who took away his scholarship but now I'm suffering because of it. However, she's still working in his firm. I don't get it." Duncan lamented and his colleague patted his shoulder."Well, I guess it happens, but then you don't have to worry yourself too much. Let's just drink away our sorrows."I even had to catch my wife with my best friend. It's just so strange why something like that has to happen to me. Humph.""I know right. Sometimes I wonder if there's something wrong with me. Why am I so unfortunate. My father would always call me a fool despite all I do. Am I really that stupid?" Duncan asked his drunk colleague who just shook his head. "A smart man like you couldn't possibly be a fool. Anyone with a good head for alcohol is smart."They both laughed at

Duncan stood before him. He was clearly drunk as the alcohol stench enveloped him. Surely, he didn't mean that. Zachary thought that the words came out wrongly. Duncan ought to have learnt his lesson by now. However, he was actually right. Duncan was only acting on the influence of alcohol. Surprisingly, he fell down on the ground. "Zachary. I didn't mean to do what I did. Please forgive me. It was an act of stupidity.Shocked, Zachary stared down at him. He wasn't expecting that Duncan would find him at the corner where he went to be on his own. Throwing a glance around, Zachary saw that the people's attention was now on him. Damn, this was the last thing he wanted right now. "Please Zach, have mercy." The man on the floor kept pleading.Turning on his heels, Zachary quickly exited the scene without a word, leaving the people in a perplexed situation. As soon as he got to the car, he hastily opened it and entered. "Let's go home."Stone started the car and zoomed off with the bodygu

"A business trip?" Zachary was perplexed. It was his first time hearing it. He didn't expect that he would have to travel out to another state for a business meeting with some clients. Well, he was inexperienced after all. If he hadn't gotten to inherit some businesses, he would still be a complete novice in the business world. Maraya was really doing a great job mentoring him. He had learnt a lot of things about running a business, all thanks to her.Zachary was so grateful for the presence of his secretary at the firm. If it weren't for her, he'd still be a complete novice. Narrowing his gaze, he stared at the lady who was sitting opposite him. A serious expression was evident on her face. Zachary was anxious and nervous at the same time. He wanted to experience the feeling of going out of town to another state and on the other hand, he was anxious about meeting with the clients who had insisted that they come to their state for the business deal. "Sir, we have no choice but to tr
The deprived Orphan who became a Billionaire Chapter 66. Always about Emily
Emily, who had also come to the restaurant for lunch bumped into Mirabel and they started chatting. It was as if the restaurant was now where everyone wants to come and eat. The food was nice but the price was quite on the high side. However, the restaurant has some kinds of dishes for the average person."Tell me Em, what's going on with you? Is Zachary still threatening to sack you guys or has he changed his mind?" Mirabel was curious, she wanted to know if Zachary rejected her advances because he was planning on getting back with Emily. What was Zachary's reason for still letting them work in his company? She was somewhat confused.Tousling her head like a confused person, Emily let out a sigh before opening her mouth to speak. "I don't know what is going on in his mind. He's just getting us worried with his mischievous attitude."Tilting closer to Mirabel, she whispered so that no one else would hear her. "I even tried to seduce him at his office the other day but it backfired on

Following her gaze, Emily scanned the place and enquired "Which Zach?" She was unable to catch a glimpse of the person Mirabel addressed as Zach."Did you see Zachary leave?" She enquired and Mirabel shook her head. "I'm not sure. He looked somewhat like Zachary. However, he was swift so I couldn't place a finger." Mirabel replied with a serious face. She was very sure it was Zachary and his friends leaving the place. However, she had lied to avoid answering more questions."Hmmm… Ok… Uhmmm, I'll be heading back to the office now. Until next time." Emily said as she stood up to leave."See you later then."***It was 6pm when they arrived at New Mexico, Maraya and Zachary alighted from the plane and searched for their ride. They didn't search for long before Maraya's eyes finally fell on a placard that boldly displayed their names.Tapping on Zachary, Maraya directed his gaze to their names."That's our ride." They hopped into the car and it Zoomed off.The ride was a quiet one as the

“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

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

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

Chapter 115. Serious Question
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

"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
