Shirley took a step back in shock while Zacharias chuckled. “Are you afraid of
me?”
Glaring at him with her pretty eyes, Shirley grumbled silently, Is this man making
fun of me?
“While we're outside, you're no longer my bodyguard but Miss Lloyd. Let's sit
down and have a meal as equals,” Zacharias said. Stunned, Shirley asked, “Is
this also an order?”
“Yes. I am ordering you.” Zacharias nodded. Releasing a slight breath of relief,
Shirley agreed, “Fine. But don’t you complain to my father and say I'm slacking
off.”
Zacharias nodded and promised, “Don’t worry. I will sign my name on your
internship documents.”
Upon hearing that, Shirley felt relieved and sat down. The man elegantly poured
her a glass of wine. “Relax. You seem very nervous.”
Shirley immediately put her guard up after seeing the wine as she wasn't a good
drinker.
“I can’t drink wine, so I'll have tea instead.” Once she said so, she poured herself
a cup of tea.
After sitting down, Zacharias picked up the wine glass and took a sip. He was in
an exceptionally good mood today. Initially, he thought she was going to leave,
but he didn’t expect the Lloyds would let her stay with him. Though she would
only be staying for three months, that period was very precious to him, and he
vowed to make the young woman fall in love with him during this time.
While they were having lunch, the restaurant was very quiet. Since both of them
were extremely well-mannered, the place seemed even quieter.
Zacharias’ gaze occasionally drifted toward the young woman opposite him. He
looked at her as if he was appreciating a piece of art, an art that constantly
stirred up his possessive instincts. He had encountered many women and
numerous admirers, but the woman before him was the only one who truly
ignited his desire. The urge to conquer her was surging inside him at any given
moment.
“I'm full, so I'll wait for you outside.” Shirley spoke and quickly got up. The
uniform she wore accentuated her waist and legs, making her look slim but also
bold.
Zacharias didn’t get up immediately but sat there and let out a light sigh. Getting
to his position wasn't that difficult, but why was pursuing a woman so difficult?
At the thought of that woman standing outside the restaurant in the cold wind, he
immediately withdrew his thoughts and grabbed his phone before heading
outside.
Indeed, Shirley was standing beside the car. There was suddenly a gust of cold
wind, making her delicate figure appear even more fragile. He quickly made his
way over and said to her, “Get in the car.”
Shirley nodded, and the others quickly got inside the car. When Shirley got in,
she felt a warm, large hand touch her hands that were on her knees. Just as she
pulled her hand away, the man turned to look at her, thinking, Just as I thought.
Her hands are so cold. In the future, I shouldn't take her out on such days and let
her stay at home where it's warmer.
The convoy headed toward the Flintstone Residence. Once Zacharias returned
home, he immediately went to his study, where Freddie awaited him. Since he
was injured, he had chosen to work at home and postponed several external
tasks.
Shirley held a cup of tea and knocked on the door before sending it into the
study, but just as she was about to leave, Zacharias suddenly called out to her,
“You don't have to leave. Sit on the couch and read a book.”
Stunned, Shirley spoke up. “I'll wait by the door.”

“Around 11.00PM. You may rest for a while,” Zacharias replied.
