It was clear that Tony was afraid of Zacharias. Zacharias’ mood was far from
pleasant, and he cast a stern look at Tony. “Go back!”
“I won't. I've brought all my luggage here, and I plan to stay for a few days to take
care of you, just as per my grandpa’s instructions.”
In other words, it was Josef's instruction. Zacharias reluctantly nodded. “You can
stay for three days.”
“Yay!” Tony celebrated with a triumphant fist pump. Then, he shifted his gaze to
Shirley, thrilled at the prospect of finally being able to spend time with his beloved
goddess.
Zacharias glanced at her, who lowered her gaze, avoiding his eyes. His mood
worsened, and he ascended the stairs.
Tony sensed his uncle's mood, and as soon as Zacharias left, he approached her
and inquired, “Goddess, who upset him?”
Shirley didn’t answer and merely shook her head.
“It can’t be a woman, can it?” Tony speculated. “If Uncle Zacharias were upset
about work, someone would have borne the brunt already. He wouldn't just bottle
it up. It must be a woman who has hurt his heart.”
While he was muttering, she had already moved to stand by the door. He noticed
her departure and followed her. “Goddess, you're his bodyguard. So, you must
know who he’s been in contact with. Please tell me!”
Shirley replied calmly, “Mr. Tony, please don’t disturb me while I'm working.”
Tony pulled a chair over, sat in front of her, and held a cup of tea while thoroughly
enjoying the view. “Goddess, just looking at you is a spiritual delight. I've decided
to sit here and watch you work.”
She was speechless but chose not to respond. She kept her gaze on the man,
who couldn't withstand her sharp stare for long.
“Don't look at me like that; it's giving me the creeps,” he said, moving the chair
and opting to watch TV from the couch instead.
As snowflakes gently fell outside, Shirley's mood suddenly brightened. The sight
of snowflakes falling brought her joy.
In the study, Zacharias stood by the floor-to- ceiling window, watching the
snowflakes. He sighed as if he had come to a realization. He understood that
love couldn't be forced, especially when it came to Shirley. Trying to seize it
would only lead to adverse consequences,
After a day of snowfall, the outside had transformed into a beautiful wintry
landscape. She opened the door to catch some snowflakes, and the landscape
lights reflected in the snow, resembling beautiful ice crystals. She took out her
phone and checked the time.
Not having received a message from Cole yet, Shirley took a deep breath and
decided to send him a message.
“Cole, please don't misunderstand what happened this morning. Mr. Flintstone
and I are just friends.’ She decided to keep her internship a secret, so she
referred to her relationship with Zacharias as one of friendship.

With a sigh, Cole realized that she was wonderful, but he didn’t deserve her.
“Shirley, I've decided to apply for a transfer from this position. I'm going back to
the base to undertake other missions,” Cole replied. He had just submitted the
request to his superiors.
