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

"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,
The deprived Orphan who became a Billionaire Chapter 84. Exhausted
Emily had overworked herself. She was almost awake throughout the night. Something she had never done before. Zachary was so out for her this time as she never thought that he'd stress her this way. Well, was she expecting him to clap for her after what she did to him?Some people in Zachary's shoes would not hesitate to kick the father and daughter out. However, Zachary wanted them to suffer humiliation and come crawling to his feet for forgiveness. After he was done with them, they'd have no other choice but to quit and leave the company in shame.Emily's strength had been exhausted and she no longer had any to work with. She was quite fortunate that the job was done before she dozed off.Emily was fast asleep on her chair and her head rested on her arms which were on the table. She was so deep in her slumber that she didn't realize it was already dawn. Angelina, her colleague, who was always the first person to come to work in their department came in as usual and strode towards h
The deprived Orphan who became a Billionaire Chapter 85. Strange demand
Emily managed to maintain a calm composure. It was no longer funny so she decided to speak out. Glancing at Zachary's, he did not pay heed to the lady before him. He had already given his instructions, so it was up to her to get back to work. Moreover, the time was already reading."But Sir…" Zachary lifted his face and gazed at the lady before him. "Yes?""I… Ugh… I went through it very well before coming to submit it. I'm quite sure there's no mistake there."Zachary stopped working and focused on Emily. Folding his arms around his chest, Zachary glared at Emily who quickly got the point. It seemed like Zachary was not ready for a long talk. "I'll work on it again, Emily took the file containing the sheets she needed to rework on and exited the place."Outside the office, she almost bumped into Maraya who was coming to serve her boss some coffee.Without throwing a glance at the lady, Emily made for the elevator and disappeared into it.Maraya did not utter a word, she carefully o
The deprived Orphan who became a Billionaire Chapter 86. A partner
"You want me to escort you to a dinner party." Maraya was puzzled. Why would Zachary ask her to accompany him? She wondered."Yeah, Is anything wrong with it. To me, there's nothing wrong with a boss asking his secretary to accompany him to a party. I just can't go alone." Zachary defended himself. Even though he felt awkward about the thing, there was nothing he could do. Moreover, Kelvin respect Maraya so much so he won't assume anything."Uhmmm… I understand your point Sir. However, I'm afraid I have to decline your request. Even if I wanted to, I can't because I have an appointment that same evening and it's going to be a clash of time." Maraya replied as she searched Zachary's face to find out if he was angry. However, he seemed to be deep in his thoughts."Why don't you ask her to follow you?"Maraya got him out of his train of thought. With furrowed brows, Zachary asked. "Ask who?""The lady you told me about some moments ago. The lady who has been chasing after you. You said
The deprived Orphan who became a Billionaire Chapter 87. A Promise
Mirabel was on the other line and Zachary thought that it was a coincidence that Mirabel called him at the same time he was looking at her pictures. However, he decided to pick up to learn the reason why she was calling."Hi Mirabel, What's up.""Zach, I was calling to remind you of tomorrow. Endeavor not to miss it." Mirabel spoke from the other end of the line."Oh ok, I'll try not to miss it. Even if I did, I'll surely compensate you for missing your mother's birthday party." Zachary replied calmly. He was going after all but wanted to know how Mirabel would react to what he just said."I don't need compensation, I need your presence." Mirabel retorted in a serious tone and Zachary could not help but smile. She was taking this too serious. It's just a birthday party after all, and it would happen with or without his presence.Why was Mirabel sounding as though his presence mattered much?"I'm still waiting for your response Zach." She reminded him that he was yet to say something.
The deprived Orphan who became a Billionaire Chapter 88. Family time
Zachary had just finished speaking with the doctor and he confirmed that he could take his grandfather out. However, he's not allowed to do anything that would stress him out. As soon as he ended the call, he called Chloe and she picked up.It was around 7 am in the morning and the lady was still lying on her bed when Zachary's call came in.Since it was a video call, Zachary could see her sleepy face. From his judgment, his call must have woken her up. Even though she was just waking up, she was still as beautiful as ever. In fact, there was no use applying makeup on the face when she looked so stunning with no makeup on."Hi. Did I wake you up?" Zachary still asked the question even though it was evident on her face."Nope, you didn't. If you hadn't called, I would have woken up on my own. I mean, it's already past 7am and I have to prepare for work." Chloe responded."You also got to work on Saturdays?" Zachary was curious. Saturdays were the weekend and a time of rest for most wor

“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

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. 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
