Before Emily woke up the next morning, her father was ready to go to work.

It was surprising for someone who was dead drunk the previous night.

John had woken up late in the night and was surprised to find himself on his bed. The last thing he remembered was falling asleep in the bar.

He quickly freshened up and went to check on his daughter who was asleep.

John made himself a hangover tonic that night and in the morning, he was feeling better and quickly prepared for work.

For someone who was demoted, it was surprising that he was still ready to go to work.

Emily walked up to him having breakfast and stood speechless at a spot.

“Dad, what's going on with you? You're already dressed up for work like nothing happened last night."

Emily went and sat close to him, staring intently at his face.

“Talk to me, Dad. What happened yesterday? Why did you get yourself that drunk."

“The bar attendant told me that you went there at noon and I saw how drunk you were.” Emily inquired seriously, st

  • Chapter 122. Dead drunk

    Emily had no words to say to her friend. She could not even utter a word after all the things Mirabel just said to her. She was guilty and she knew it. Mirabel was telling the truth. If it wasn't that she needed the help from Mirabel, she would not have contacted her.After a long pause, Emily decided to say something.“Are you going to help us or not? Remember that we used to be very good friends. You can't let this little rift between us make you turn your back on us.”“You've got to be kidding me.” Mirabel was more pissed at her for what she just said. Emily would never change. “I can't believe that I wasted my time by coming here. I thought that you actually wanted to genuinely apologize but I was wrong.”Angrily, Mirabel stood up from her chair, took out some money and paid for her drink before muttering. “You're so impossible, Emily. Goodbye and don't you ever contact me again.”With that, Mirabel stormed out of the bar without looking back. She passed by a table and saw som

  • 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
