The Return Of the Merchant Heir

Chapter 5:The interview

"WHAT, you must be joking, Bella's an Anderson, why will she turn against her own family?"

"She is not! She was adopted by a branch family of the Anderson's but Marina's family caused their death. Marina's dad caused her father to die in an accident and her mom died from depression" kose exhaled.

"But, how come she never told me? I knew her before you do" Zachary asked, puzzled.

"She was sent away by Marina's family to the east and you cut off all contacts with us. Bella only found out when she went to the east and she tried telling you but you weren't reachable so she came to us"

"Us, who are the the Us? "Zachary hurriedly interrupted.

" I have to hand it to you, you are a good listener, zachi. Us refers to I and kitty"

" Yes, before you ask, she is still messy and a brat but she cried the hardest when you left"kose said as he took a long exhale.

"Do you have Bella's contact, I want to speak to her?"

"She will come to the dorm soon enough, maybe in three days time, for now, let's focus on gathering more evidence against the Anderson's".

"Originally, the capital chain that broke was sufficient to ensure their downfall economically but who knew that ZZ conglomerate would intervene saving their sorry asses"

The surprised Zachary retorted"ZZ conglomerate, I just met someone from there and he gave me a card to come the job l interview" 

" Well in that case, you need to show up for that job and you must get it, we need to find the relationship that exists between ZZ conglomerate and Anderson's group "kose sighed with distress.

Two days went by as Zachary and kose kept fighting up against the Anderson's "what's the deal with that ZZ conglomerate? why are they protecting the Anderson's family so fiercely?" Kose spat out in rage.

Zachary remembered Zane's face and countenance and no matter what he didn't see him or ZZ as that type of cooperation "He didn't seem like that kind of person"

"Maybe the person protecting the Anderson's is also high up, you know with the weight of ZZ conglomerate, they can't possibly be privy about all their staff's affairs"Zachary reasoned.

"I know but that person is such a bastard? The Anderson's have committed so many atrocities enough to kill them over and over again. Louis has brutally raped 12 high school girls and even killed one and caused four to commit suicide. That bastard shouldn't even die a humans death but despite all our evidence we were shoved away"

" Jerry Anderson, Marina's father blackmailed his workers with their sexual videos prompting them to work without receiving full pay and even working overtime "

" The list goes on and on, Isn't ZZ scared of incurring the wrath of the public by covering up for them"kose roared indignantly.

"We can't do anything with the evidence we have, the police refused to even listen to us when they heard us mention Anderson's group. What we can do now is lay low, infiltrate ZZ and find our enemy then we take them out in one fell swoop which is why I must get that job, MUST!''Zachary announced with a solemn tone.

...

"You are here? Have a seat" Zane smiled towards Zachary as he gestured for him to sit down.

Zachary looked around the office, it was full of colorful paintings that revolved around love. The office space was warm like the embrace of a mother. 

"You have a very beautiful space but can you show me the interview location?"Zachary said helplessly,he was just dragged here as soon as he came.

"Ah!Yes, the interview. I am your interviewer for today, make yourself comfortable ? "Zane grinned sheepishly.

Zachary was stunned but for some reason he couldn't get angry at Zane" What are you playing at? Yes, we look alike but we are not related at all to each other, I don't have a sibling so cut off every atom of imagination you might have"

"I am seriously your interviewer, All I am asking is purely work related" Zane still retained his goofy smile.

"Okay, suit yourself"

"Alright! First question, what is your full name?"

" Zachary Leviston Black "

" WHAT! You have the same name as me. Black isn't so common in this part of the state, are you from the west? "Zane asked as he scrutinized Zachary.

" I got the name from my parents, I am from here, is rare but I am a rarity? "Zachary jokingly said.

" Well said , you are rare? What about your age,you are 25 right and you were born in August right? Do you have a mark on your arm? Are you allergic to green beans and carrots when combined but but you love it when it's separate? "Zane asked all at once.

" Excuse me, what it's all this questions? If this is your interview, then I must say, we are not fated! "Zachary savage mode activated, All of this are his information. "Did this Zane investigate me? ZZ cooperation really houses all sort of trash, don't they?"

"How dare you talk to the second young master like that?" Jason, Zane secretary bellowed.

"Jason! Shut up and get out" Zane smiled at the secretary but his eyes held coldness that forced cold sweat down Jason's back "yes, young master" Jason retreated hurriedly.

"I am sorry for my earlier tone, please have tea" Zane said as he offered tea to Zachary.

" No thank you, I am leaving? "Zachary said coldly.

" Hey wait"Zane stood up hastily with the hot tea which accidentally splashed on Zachary's wrist.

" Damnit"Zachary who has serious OCD couldn't tolerate the stain, he quickly unbuttoned his shirt exposing his fair wrist that had a beautiful dipper mark. The seven stars looked so lifelike and alluring.

"Big brother? "Zane said as he hugged Zachary and started crying.

" Hey? Get off me? You are delusional, who is your brother? "Zachary Shaked the clingy Zane away from him in disgust.

" You are my brother, you are named Zachary just like my bro, you were born with the same mark and you even have the same likes and dislikes" Zane said excitedly.

"All that proves nothing? Isn't it too early to jump into such conclusions" Zachary gently reminded him.

"Then let's do a DNA test, if it's negative I will never appear in front of you again but if it's true, please hear out Mom" Zane said but in his heart he has already concluded that Zachary is his brother. 

... 

"What are you doing Blake?"a slightly handsome middle aged man with a scar at the corner of his eyes asked angrily.

"Father, what do you mean? What am I doing?" Blake replied confused. "Father has put his eyes on my affairs, why is he boiling today?"

" I gave you one simple job, take care of Anderson's son in law, what did you do? You created such an opportunity for him? I have been looking for that kid all this while and now I found him, I gave you to him to dispose of but you rather created an opportunity for him to meet his family. You bastard? "Zephyr roared in anger.

" Dad, Zachary is just a poor child whose parents died years back. Aren't you reading too much into the matter? You told me to handle him so I took his wife from him. Why are you angry now? " Zachary Zachary Zachary, is he that important?"Blake roared as his hatred for Zachary increased.

" You cow, he is the heir to ZZ conglomerate, your cousin!!! "

" WHAT? "
