The deprived Orphan who became a Billionaire Chapter 76. Welcome back
Zachary and Maraya arrived at the airport to find Stone waiting outside the car. Scanning around the place, he was relieved that his bodyguards were nowhere in sight. With a cheerful smile, Zachary beckoned on Maraya to follow him. "Come on." Maraya followed him to the car, after which they zoomed off immediately. Settling on his seat, Zachary looked through the mirror and saw his bodyguards following behind. 'I thought as much.'They'd never give him any chance to breathe, as long as he was back in Texas."Welcome back Sir. Miss Maraya." Stone cheerfully greeted the duo. "Thank you." They both responded in unison."I hope your trip went well?" "Of Course. Thanks for your concern." Zachary acknowledged the man's sincere care towards him. "So, what did I miss? Or should I say, what did we miss?""Nothing important Sir. Everything is just as you left it."Zachary nodded in response. "Oh! Ok.""How's my Grandpa doing?" Zachary probed further and Stone nodded. "He's doing pretty well. He

Lowering her gaze, her eyes scanned the papers dispersed on the floor. Doing her best to avoid gazing at Zachary, Emily gradually tilted herself but could feel Zachary's cold glare on her. It seemed as if it was boring holes into her skin. The stare was intense."I hope not to be seduced again in my office." His words came out cold and devoid of emotions. Emily swallowed hard and gradually rose up. If she had known that something of this sort would occur, she would have worn trousers. Of all days, it was the day she chose to wear a skirt that this happened. As she scanned her outfit, she carefully thought of a way to gather up the littered papers without being labeled a seductress.Gradually, she lowered herself in a squat and began picking the papers up. Her feet ached from the heels she wore but there was nothing she could do. She had to endure the pains and do what her boss had asked her. After gathering up the papers that were initially scattered on the floor, she took the file cl
The deprived Orphan who became a Billionaire Chapter 78. The threat and the trial
"Miss McDonalds, there better be an explanation for this else, you'd have to tender your resignation immediately." Her immediate boss, Mr. Liam barked angrily causing Emily to almost freeze at a spot. It was still so early and her day had gone this sour. 'What the heck!'Emily only said that in her mind, she wouldn't dare to say it out, else she's in for serious trouble. Glancing at the door behind Liam, Emily saw the gossipers' prying eyes. They were competing for the one who would see things clearly. Since they didn't want to leave the door ajar, they slightly opened it and poked their eyes at the little opening. That's it. How much embarrassment would she take for just one morning. The morning Zachary come back from his trip.The previous day he didn't come to work, she had been as free as a bird. "Sir.""Don't you dare Sir me. I asked a question and demands that you answer me in all honesty because you'd be done for if I find out that you lied. I don't care if your father is the G
The deprived Orphan who became a Billionaire Chapter 79. The medal
Confused, the lady asked. "Really?""Yeah." Zachary responded with a blush on his face. He could also imagine the expression on Chloe's face. She must be smiling and blushing."Tell me, what medal did you just win?" She questioned him, anticipation evident in her voice."Youuuu…" Zachary stressed the word. He knew the effect it might have on Chloe. However, he was not there to see her reaction.There was silence at the other end of the line. Chloe was lost for the right words to respond Zachary with. "I'm sorry Zachary, I have to go and attend to a client. Talk to you later." With that, the call came to an abrupt end.Zachary fell into an uncontrollable laughter after the call ended. He was sure Chloe had lied to excuse herself from the awkwardness she felt. Zachary's word had caught her off guard. She wasn't expecting anything like that. Zachary thought that that was a crazy thing to say to a lady he was planning to woo.Placing his phone into his suit pocket. Zachary slid back into
The deprived Orphan who became a Billionaire Chapter 80. Grateful
"Come on. Let's go." Zachary called to his friends who followed behind. However, Stone refused to tag along. Turning to the man, Zachary asked, "Is anything the matter? Why are you refusing to come along?""Nothing Sir, I just want you and your friends to have some time for yourselves. I don't want to be a third party." Stone replied. After some probing, Zachary decided to let him be. As they approached the executive suite, his friends could not help but giggle like children who have been handed with a pack of lollipop. They could not get a grip of themselves as the excitement was intense and obvious. They hadn't in their life ever imagined coming to such a place and a seven star hotel for that matter, how much more having access to their executive suite.This was one of the times they were grateful for treating Zachary kindly. If they had treated him poorly, they'd never in their lives enjoy such benefits. He got them a well paid job at his firm, now he was treating them to lunch in
The deprived Orphan who became a Billionaire Chapter 81. Blacklisted and a Miracle
"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.
The deprived Orphan who became a Billionaire Chapter 82. Jealous?
Zachary faked a smile at the lady before him who noticed quickly his discomfort. "Are you okay?" She asked him, concern evident in her voice. "You seemed to be perturbed and looked so uneasy. Is anything the matter?"Smith and Johnson excused the two as they stepped aside, giving room for them to freely have a conversation."I… Ugh… I'm fine." Zachary stammered. Directing his gaze at the place where he first saw Mirabel, he saw that the man was still on seat."Uhmm… Why did you leave the gentleman all alone? I thought you were busy over there?" Zachary spoke calmly and carefully chose his words. He didn't want to speak out of context or say something that he shouldn't.With furrowed brows, Mirabel glanced at the man and returned her gaze back to Zachary. She unconsciously let out a snicker and apologized afterwards. "Sorry about that." Perplexed, Zachary asked her. "Did I say something funny?"Mirabel shook her head. "Not at all." She threw one last glance at the place she was coming
The deprived Orphan who became a Billionaire Chapter 83. Bored
"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,

“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
