Shirley felt frustrated as she followed him into the restaurant. When Zacharias
entered first, the staff greeted him. When Shirley walked in, the staff indeed
greeted her as well.
“Miss Lloyd, good evening.”
“Good evening.” Shirley forced a smile. Once Zacharias reached his private
room, Shirley followed in. She was quite familiar with this place and had
thoroughly studied the dishes here.
“You order,” he said after sitting down. Shirley asked cautiously, “Mr. Flintstone,
do you have any specific dishes you'd like?"
“No.” She randomly selected some dishes and after ordering four dishes and one
soup, the waiter left.
After closing the door, the entire private room became quiet. The retro decoration
style, which was filled with the ambiance of the era, was initially bright and lively,
but for some reason, when Zacharias sat there, the room seemed a bit
oppressive. Shirley poured him a cup of tea. “Mr. Flintstone, please have some
tea.”
Zacharias lifted the teacup, his sharp gaze fixed on her. “Why did you replace
Imogen for the internship at my residence?”
She could no longer hide it. “Imogen had a little issue with her health check.
However, this internship is crucial for her, as it relates to her future work
assignment.”
“Have you thought about the consequences?”
he asked again. She shook her head. “No. I know I was careless, but she’s my
friend and I want to help her.” “You know that the current situation is complicated,
yet you still broke the rules?”
Zacharias’ words put Shirley in a nervous state.
“So, I want you to help me keep this matter a secret. After I finish Imogen’s
internship for three months, I promise I won't make such a mistake again.” She
pleaded with him. She felt like her entire life was in this man’s grasp.
“We have no relationship and we are strangers. Why should I help you?”
Zacharias raised an eyebrow as his gaze showed a hint of ruthlessness.
Shirley was rendered speechless. She was indeed asking a favor from a
stranger! Why should he cover for her? She was too naive to think this man
would help. her unconditionally.
Shirley had never felt so embarrassed while being caught in a dilemma. The
feeling of being in a difficult situation without a way out was truly unpleasant.
“Well... Mr. Flintstone, you can set the conditions. I will do whatever I can,” she
stuttered. She was unable to beat him in a fight and was unable to surpass his
status. So, she could only yield.
She felt her entire body scrutinized from head to toe by those eyes, and it made
her, who was usually confident and upright, experience a sensation of being
looked down upon, which caused her to slouch.
“All right. I won't pursue this matter. I'll let your replace Imogen for the internship.
After all, we'll have many opportunities to meet in the future.” Zacharias smiled
before reaching for the teapot.
Shirley hurriedly came over and poured him a cup of tea. She was grateful as
she said, “Thank you for your tolerance and generosity, Mr. Flintstone. I promise
to work diligently and not disappoint you during the internship.”
Finally, she could breathe a sigh of relief. As long as he didn’t hold her
accountable, everything else was negotiable. The dishes arrived and Shirley
ordered a dish she liked. Tonight could be considered satisfying.
