The deprived Orphan who became a Billionaire

Chapter 5

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 wife who just laughed it off.

No matter how much he scolds her, she never listens. Kelvin already knew who his wife was but would keep repeating the same lines over and over again.

May smiled and walked out after serving her grandson. She preferred to be in the Kitchen than to be in the company of the men.

She likes staying around the house chef while they experiment on different food recipes. All the staff were so fond of her.

Kelvin immediately turned to Zachary to continue what he was saying.

"As I was saying Son, we need to focus on the things that are more important."

He made a gesture to Benedict who immediately brought out a Black card and placed it before him.

"In that card is a sum of a hundred million dollars. Use the money and have a change of your wardrobe and everything about you. Tomorrow morning, the driver will take you to the Influitive Oil and gas where I will be introducing you to the Staff."

Zachary widened his gaze as the card was placed before him. He could not believe his eyes.

He has become a millionaire overnight. He collected the card, still looking puzzled.

Kelvin nodded at him.

He looked at Benedict who was smiling the whole time.

He must be dreaming. He closed his eyes and opened them again with the two men smiling at him.

It was just the three of them in the room as all the guards were out while a few were standing outside the study.

Kelvin suddenly remembered something he had asked before but had not gotten the answer.

"Uhm, I remember I asked you a question outside which you have not responded to."

Zachary looked at him confusingly. He was absorbing a lot of revelation at once that had forgotten the question.

"Would you like to stay here with your Nana and I or My Villa in Bay City."

Zachary did not give a direct answer, instead he said. "I would like to be Visiting you and Nana."

Kelvin was impressed with his grandson's answer. He was indeed intelligent. 

"Ok then, we will be seeing each other tomorrow."

Kelvin introduced him to all the staff and asked his driver to take him to Bay City where he was assigned his own staff.

***

Kelvin woke up like a King. This time, he took his time to prepare. It was no longer like before when he would have to rush off very early to avoid being scolded at work. 

He was still not used to this new life. He really needed to adjust as this was the new him. He was now a rich man.

Yesterday, he had just a few hundred dollars in his account but today, he was a millionaire. This was indeed a miracle, it was those kinds of things that are seen only in the movies. However, it was happening to him and he could not just shake it off his head.

'Wow.' He thought.

He could not wait to see the look on Emily's face, as well as her father and Duncan.

In less than an hour, Zachary was standing before The Influitive Oil and gas company. He had refused to go with the driver provided for him, but rather went in a cab still wanting to keep it simple.

He also wore a simple outfit. A black trousers and a sky blue shirt and a shoe that cost a few hundred dollars. 

Approaching the gates, Zachary was blocked by the security. He was asked what he wanted but could not really say anything so they told him to leave.

Zachary stood outside the gates for a while before he bought out his phone and placed a call through to his grandfather.

"Good morning Sir." Zachary greeted his grandfather.

"Grandpa." Kelvin Corrected from the other end of the line.

"Good morning Grandpa." Kelvin corrected himself. It was one of the things he had to get used to.

Kelvin was of course his grandfather.

"I'm here at the Influitive Oil and gas but the security won't let me in."

Kelvin asked him to give the phone to one of the securities and after a few conversations, the gates were made wide open and Zachary entered.

A lot of workers were looking at him strangely. 

As the elevator doors parted, Zachary beheld a familiar figure stepping out. 

It was Emily.

He knew for sure that Emily worked in the company but didn't really expect to see her today. 

She was the personal assistant to the finance manager.

Zachary scanned her with his eyes and finally settled at her breast pocket. 

It had a tag with her name. 'Emily MacDonalds.' 

She looked exquisitely stunning in her brown pants suit.

Staring at Zachary with so much scorn and disdain. Emily let out a smirk.

"Zach? What are you doing here?"

Zachary just stared and smiled. He was in his grandfather's company and a mere employee was asking a dumb question.

"Let me guess, you got a job here as a cleaner. Yeah…. That is it. You must be a cleaner. 

"Wait! If you are a cleaner, it means you are most fortunate because someone like you is not allowed to stand before the gates of Influitive Oil and gas not to talk of entering the premises. How did you even get past the security?" Emily further humiliated Zachary.

"Well, Miss Emily. If you must know, I'm the new owner of this company and you better watch your back." Zachary pursed his mouth in a self satisfied smirk.
