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
"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
The stolen Scholarship.Zachary held the rose flower and the box of chocolates in admiration. He just could not get it off his head that he was finally going to propose a relationship with Emily. 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." Duncan replied to his friend, dismissing his suggestion with an evil smile
Can I borrow a hundred thousand dollars?Everything was getting clearer to Zachary. He stood transfixed at the duo who was making mockery of him.They were the cause of his misfortune and were laughing at him. His eyes had become red as he struggled not to shed a tear before his adversaries. He didn't want them to see him as a weak person.Emily suddenly came closer and touched his cheek. Zachary calmly took off her hands and she smiled."Well, as courtesy demands, I've come to introduce my boyfriend to you and I would be going to the same College with him."Emily went closer to Duncan and held him by the waist as she completed her statement.".....and ofcourse, with your scholarship.""Emily, you knew how I needed that scholarship. You knew that without it, it would be hard for me to further my Education. What wrong did I ever do to you that you chose to betray me like this?" Zachary lamented.With the unfolding incident, Zachary had forgotten about the flower and box of chocolates h
I did it for my grandson.Zachary's heart skipped for a bit as he exited the restaurant in a haste leaving the other workers flabbergasted. He would have the manager to contend with as he did not inform him before leaving. As he stepped out to hail a cab, a Hyundai car pulled over before him and the occupants was none other than Emily and Duncan.The seems to be like glue, always sticking together.Stepping down from the car, Emily approached Zachary who walked away to hail a cab but unfortunately for him, no vehicles were stopping for him.Fate seems to be against him today. First, his father had been rushed to the hospital, now it was Emily before him and no cab was stopping for him to get away from her taunts.Pretending not to notice her, Emily got to where he was to insult him as usual with Duncan following behind."Look who we bumped into Duncan, Same old Zach. Still poor and wretched." Emily scoffed and Duncan responded with a mocking smile.Zachary just stared at them indiffe
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
