Zacharias sat at the dining table, watching his nephew hold Shirley's hand.
Immediately, he cleared his throat and said, “Tony, come over and have your
breakfast.”
At his words, Tony quickly released Shirley's hand and refrained from making any
advances. After all, she was going to be his uncle's future wife.
“Hurry and come over, Tony. It's a bodyguard's duty to stand guard.” Jesslyn felt
discontent too. Why is Tony being so friendly with a bodyguard?
Tony obediently joined them for breakfast, and Jesslyn continued to plead with
Zacharias, “Please, Zacharias. Just let me stay here for three days. I promise to
behave.”
“No.” Zacharias was holding his coffee, but his gaze remained fixed on the
straight figure at the door.
“How about just one day, then? Let me stay here for the night.”
“Leave by 3.00 PM at the latest,” he replied calmly.
Frustrated, she bit her lip. Suddenly, she realized that even though Zacharias
was talking to her, his gaze was fixated in one direction. She followed his gaze
and saw Shirley's slender figure.
At once, a tinge of jealousy flared in her eyes. I've underestimated the
bodyguard’s place in Zacharias’ heart.
After breakfast, Zacharias instructed the servant clearing the table, “Prepare
another. breakfast.”
“Sure, Mr. Flintstone,” the servant acknowledged, well aware of who it was for.
“Accompany Jesslyn and escort her home in the afternoon, Zacharias told Tony.
After that, he dialed a number to summon his convoy, as he needed to spend the
day at the office.
Seeing that he was about to leave, Shirley stepped forward and picked up his
overcoat for him. Instead of accepting it, he instructed her, “Help me put it on.”
She readily assisted him in putting on the overcoat. He then adjusted his tie,
remarking. “My tie isn't properly done. Help me fix it.”
Shirley, experienced in helping her father with his tie, skillfully loosened and re-
tied it. Meanwhile, Jesslyn couldn't hear their conversation from the dining table.
When she saw Shirley helping Zacharias get dressed and fix his tie, she grew
furious as she perceived their interactions as flirtatious.
Watching this scene from the side, Tony acted amused, for he knew of Jesslyn's
interest in his uncle.
As Zacharias’ car arrived, Shirley opened the door for him. After he got in and
before driving away, he cast a final glance in her direction.
She received his gaze with composure, her face displaying tranquility. Inside,
however, her heart was far from calm. She wasn’t naive; she knew that the look
of someone in love couldn't be hidden, especially when she was the one who
was being loved.
Zacharias harbored affection for her, but she couldn't reciprocate his feelings
because she had recently ended a brief romantic relationship with Cole. Even
though it had only extended as far as holding hands, she couldn't simply transfer
her emotions to another man so quickly.
For now, she was wholeheartedly dedicated to making her three-month
internship a success. As for Zacharias’ attraction to her, she would offer no
response.
The moment Shirley returned to the living room, a shrill female voice suddenly
sounded. “How dare you openly seduce the vice president? You've got some
nerve.”
Shirley raised her head and frowned as she watched Jesslyn rush toward her.
“Miss Kurt, please don’t make baseless accusations.”
