Chapter 121. Typical Emily
After his demotion, John had angrily left the company and found himself in a bar. He was drinking himself to stupor and didn't go home even when it became dark.Emily was too busy to even call her father or check up on him. By the time she finished with the extra work Zachary gave to her, it was already dark.Swiftly, she hurried out of her desk, took her jacket and began to leave the company.She was the last employee to leave and because of her rude and arrogant behavior, no one offered to help her.They just left her all alone to carry her cross.As soon as Emily got into her car, her phone began to ring. Mirabel was calling her to find out if she was already on her way.“Hi, Mira. I'm already on my way. I'll be right there in a few minutes, just wait for me." Emily said into the phone as soon as she answered it.She had to plead to meet up with Mirabel after their brutal fight at her mother's birthday party.If it was up to Emily, she'd keep off Mirabel but her dad still wanted he
Chapter 120. The Text message
After the two men left him alone, Zachary stayed in the conference hall for a few minutes. He was thinking about his life in the past. John and Emily really dealt with him.The singular action that the father and daughter took changed everything about his life. They completely broke him.The thought of all he went through came flashing back at his face.The humiliation he went through. The starvation and pain of taking care of a sick aged grandfather.Zachary missed out on a lot in life. He was always running multiple jobs and never socialized.He had no social life.“Sir, are you ok? Why are you still here alone?" A voice jolted him out of his thoughts and he lifted his face to see Maraya standing before him.She looked confused and worried as well.“I'm fine." Zachary managed to mutter but his secretary was not taking that as an answer to her question.She was sure that something was troubling her boss.“You don't look fine and I can see it on your face. Tell me, what's really goin
Chapter 119. John's outburst
“What?” John shook his head in regret. "You just demoted me and expect that I would be happy about it. How's that even possible.” He continued but Zachary said nothing.“Is it because of what happened many years ago? That is already in the past. Unfortunately, you're still holding it against me." Angrily, Zachary jolted to his feet and replied back to John."Yes, John. That's exactly the reason I'm denoting you. You and your precious daughter took my future away from me. That scholarship was my life.” Zachary yelled and began to walk closer to the men. He stopped halfway and glared at Vincent who was the only confused person in the hall.He turned his gaze to meet with the furious man before him.Zachary could see that John was just as angry as he was. However, it didn't matter to him. All that he knew was that he'd pour out his heart so that John would know that he'd never forgive him.I'm fact, it was payback time and that's exactly what he was doing. Tilting himself, Zachary rest
Chapter 118. Demoted
“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
