~ THE BILLIONAIRE WHO LOVED ME 💘💍👠💄💎~
~CHAPTER 11~
~ZACHARY'S POV ~
I woke up feeling happy, i kept thinking about the things I could do for Kimberly to make her day today.
I wasn't having it when she told me she had a bad day at work.
The only type of days I want her to have are good days, with me in them.
I started making calls once I was ready to leave for work.
I dailed a contact on my phone whom I always go for advice when it came to girls.
(I need your advice.) I said immediately the person picked up.
(Wow. You're really getting worse by the day. Your manners are completely gone now.) Rebecca, one of my closest cousins said to me.
(Sorry. Now can we move on?) I asked her.
(You're an Ass. You know that right?) She said to me probably rolling her eyes wherever she is.
(Sure sure. Now time for your advice.) I say to her.
(What is on your mind cousin?) She asked me.
(How do I surprise a girl without her knowing it's from me? And What sort of things do you think I should surprise her with?) I asked her.
She paused for a while before responding.
(Zachary Alexander Maxwell! Have you finally got a girlfriend?!) she said loudly and I had to move the phone away from my ears a bit before bringing it back.
(Relax. I don't. Just answer my question.) I say to her.
(Not until you tell me about the girl you want to surprise ) she said stubbornly to me.
(You'll know her when the time comes but for now just tell me what I want to know.) I said to her.
(Hmm. Fine, I know I'll find out soon enough. Anyways if you want to surprise a girl, just buy her a fine quality dress, oh and don't forget the shoes. And the jewelries too, very important, girls can't do without them.) she said to me.
(A dress, shoes and jewelry. Got it. I need your contacts, the best designers please. I want only the best for all of them.) I say to her.
(You must really like this girl? Can't you just chip me in on who she is? I promise I won't tell anyone in the family.) She pleaded.
I knew her too well to know not to trust her words. She will tell everyone.
(No thanks. The contacts. Now please.) I say to her.
(You're not the boss of me!) She whined on the phone.
(Don't keep me waiting.) I said and hanged up the phone.
After some seconds passed, I got a text from Rebecca with the contacts I needed.
I quickly called them each myself, and made my request.
They were more than happy to be of service once they heard my name.
It was always an honor to get the opportunity to do business with a Maxwell. According to our business associates.
I asked my personal assistant to make all the necessary payments at once and pick up the packages and have them delivered to the company once ready.

When I got to the office, I went to stand by the window, observing all that came into the building.
I was hoping I could see her for a second and luckily I did.
I watched as Kimberly walked in hurriedly, heading straight to the elevator.
She looked better than I even remembered.
Once she was out of sight, I went back to my desk to take a seat.
~~~~~
After hours had passed, I kept checking the time every two seconds.
When will the package get here?
I let out a heavy breath and spinned my chair around for a while.
The telephone rang and I picked up with a sudden speed.
(Your package has arrived sir.) My secretary said to me.
Finally.
I thought to myself.
(Good. Send them to a Miss Kimberly Gilbert in the Board Meetings department. This is still lunch time so she'll be at the cafeteria at this moment.) I said to her.
(Noted Sir.) She said and I hanged up the phone.
I was smiling ear to ear now. I was certain she'd be very happy to receive the gifts.
I planned on making myself known to her soon after now, after she sees all the things I could give her and more, she'd accept me in a heartbeat.
The rest of the day was a good day for me. I couldn't wait to ask her about her day during resting hours.
She must be thrilled.

~KIMBERLY'S POV ~
As I sat on my bed, eyeing the gifts that was sitting on my chair, I came to a conclusion that whoever sent these expensive gifts must be an idiot.
How can someone send gifts that expensive to someone they don't even know?
They must have alot of money to waste and not know what to do with money.
I heard a knock on my door and I jumped in fear.
I didn't know Why I was suddenly so edgy like i was a thief or something.
"Who is it?" I said calmly with my hand placed on my chest.
"It's me. Open up." Rena said and I let out a breath of relief.
I rushed towards the door and unlocked it for her and she came inside the room.
I locked the door behind her again.
"Okay.... What's going on with you?" She said looking worried.
"There's something you have to see but promise me you won't make a sound." I say seriously to her.
"Okayyyy?" She drawled sounding unsure.
I pointed to the boxes and flowers that sat on my chair.
She looked at them and her mouth went wide open.
She looked at me without saying anything before going straight for the flowers first.
"They smell so gooddddd. Lilies! I love lilies!" She said raising her voice a bit and I shushed her. She nodded and sealed her lips before opening the rest of the boxes one by one.
She opened the shoes first and her sealed mouth flew wide open again in shock.
She mouthed to me, "what is going on?" And I shaked my head, telling her I have no idea.
She let out a heavy breath and placed the shoes on the bed then opened up the second box which was the dress.
"Oh my God. Okay I can't even keep quiet no more! What is going on?!!!" She said loudly and I had to put my hand on her mouth to stop her from further saying anything.
"You promised not to say anything!" I whispered aggressively to her.
She mumbled something that sounded like she's sorry and she'll behave.
I gave her a stern look and she nodded.
I let go of her mouth and she pursed her lips.
She quietly admired the dress and placed it neatly near the shoes on the bed.
She lastly opened up the last smaller box.
Judging from the look on her face, I knew what she wanted to do.
I tackled her and covered her mouth with both my hands.
She kept screaming in my hands and thankfully her screams weren't loud enough thanks to my hands.
After some seconds passed and she seemed to have calmed down, I let go of her mouth very slowly.
"Kimberly, explain yourself? Now." She said to me seriously.
"You're not gonna believe it." I say to her and laid down on the floor. I was tired after struggling to keep her quiet.
"Make it believable." She said to me.
"Apparently, I have an admirer at the company." I say while looking at the ceiling.
"Admirer? Already???" She asked sounding shocked.
I chuckled breathlessly.
"I have no idea where or how it even happened." I say to her.
"Kim! I knew you were always a catch but damn girl, you upped your game. I'm so proud of you." Rena said and joined me on the floor excitedly.
"I wasn't even trying any games yet. I don't know how this managed to happen without my knowledge." I say to her.
"Who cares? The most important thing is, it has happened." She said to me.
"How can someone just gift me a diamond jewelry, just like that?" I asked her.
"Wait... wait a minute... Hold on... Diamonds, like these are REAL diamonds?" Rena asked rushing to examine the box of jewelry again.
"According to my friends at work, yeah it is." I said to her.
"Kim, do you know what this means?" She asked me suddenly facing me with the box in her hand.
"What?" I asked innocently.
"You my friend, you're going to be the one to bring us out from poverty. Kim, You just hit the jackpot." She said and started jumping up and down excitedly.
I looked at her like she was crazy.
"You seriously think I'd keep any of these gifts that a total stranger who we don't know could be a psycho or worse , a serial killer just happened to send to me, at my place of work? That I literally just started days ago? ABSOLUTELY NOT." I said to Rena and she sulked.
"Come on Kim, Be selfish for a change. We need this. You need it. Your family needs it." She tried to reason with me but I refused to see reasons with her.
"No. Uh uh. No way. Yes, we do need the money, but I won't be a charity case to any egomaniac arrogant man who can't come forward and ask me out like a normal human being. No." I say stubbornly to her.
"I hate to say this but you're kinda right. Only about whoever this generous stranger is and not being forward with you but you're wrong about not Keeping these gifts." She said to me.
"I just.... I'll have to think deep about it. I don't want to get in trouble. You know very well who aunt Judy is. She'll never allow me keep any of these things." I explained to her.
"You're right. Your aunt is a tough nut to crack. You know what, just keep these hidden here in your room for now, and later we'll figure out what to do about them. Okay?" She said to me and I nodded reluctantly.
"Fine. You're a bad influence Rena. Have I ever told you that?" I said to her and jumped into my bed to relax.
"I know. Now scutch over." She laid down on the bed with me and we talked about our day.
I didn't realize when she fell asleep as we were talking.
I forgot she must also be very tired from working all through the day.
She works way too hard to take care of her siblings and father.
I got up from the bed and went into the bathroom to freshen up before going back to the bed to sleep.
I went online for a bit to check what was happening in the media.
I saw I had lots of messages from the same guy that has been chatting me up for days now.
He didn't have any pictures on his profile so it made me weary of chatting with someone without a face.
{Hi beautiful😊}
{How was your day?}
{Hope you had the best day today?}
{Are you already asleep pretty one?}
{Really wanted to know how your day went 😔}
{I guess I should wish you a Goodnight.}
{☹️☹️☹️☹️}
What is it with this guy?
He doesn't even know me well enough to be worried about how my days are going.
I sighed and decided to reply him.
{My day was okay. Didn't have the best day, but it was better than yesterday. Thank you for asking.} I sent to him.
I was still typing 'Goodnight' when I suddenly saw he was already typing so I paused.
{😊 You're finally here }
{I'm glad to hear about your day. I want nothing but good days for you.} He sent.
{Thank you.} I sent.
He was typing something else but I was fast enough to send a message first.
{Goodnight.} I sent to him and quickly went offline.
I slowly drifted into sleep with the thought of everything that happened today stuck in my mind.
I was eager to know who sent these gifts.
Could it be Christian Norman? The vice president of the company?
I noticed the way he looked at me at the meeting when he was shaking hands with me.
I'm so confused right now.
