Night of Destiny Novel by Vanessa K

Closing her eyes, Shirley took a few deep breaths. The last thing she wanted
was to be affected by this man. She was the first to go. downstairs, and the
servants had prepared five different dishes and a soup tonight. Even though it
was his birthday, there didn’t seem to be anything different from usual.
Is Tony coming back? she wondered. However, it was already late, and he wasn't
back yet, so she reckoned that he wasn't coming back tonight. Am I the only one
spending his birthday with him? Having never spent a man’s birthday alone with
him, she started to feel nervous, and the situation was a little ambiguous and
awkward for her.
Just then, sounds of footsteps came from the staircase. Upon lifting her head,
she saw a freshly showered man who had changed into a black knitted sweater
paired with a pair of casual gray trousers.
Beaming with an aristocratic-like laid-back aura, he seemed a few years younger,
and even his hair was falling on his forehead casually.
“Sir, the food is ready, a servant informed, stepping forward.
“Thank you. You're done for the day,” he said.
Tacitly, she nodded. “Okay.”
The moment she was gone, the room fell into pin-drop silence. “Are you sure
you're not going to invite your family over to celebrate your birthday with you?”
Shirley asked, curious about the situation. He raised his head and smiled. “To
me, it's enough just to have you.”
“I'm only your bodyguard,” Shirley answered helplessly.
“Tonight, don’t be my bodyguard. Be my friend instead,” he said and pulled out a
chair for her. “Take a seat.”
She was rooted to the spot, but the man cast her a determined stare, demanding
her to go over. Only then did she strode toward him and plopped into the chair
that he had pulled out. Then, the man sat next to her. “Let's eat. Once we're done
with dinner, we'll share the cake together,” he said.
“Would you like to wait for Tony?” she asked.
“He's not coming back,” he replied.
She blinked blankly. “Did you ask him already?”
“Yeah. His answer sounded confident because he had told his nephew not to
return tonight.
There was nothing else Shirley could say, and they began eating in silence.
While eating, Zacharias added food to her plate, and she looked at him.
Returning the favor, she, too, placed more food on his plate. A smirk tinged the
edge of his lips. “Why are you so ceremonious?”
She returned his smile. “I have to. After all, you're Mr. Vice President.”
“I said that we're friends tonight. I'm Zacharias, and you're Shirley. There's no
Vice President in this room,” he reiterated, raising a brow.
Shirley nodded in agreement. “Okay, then I'll spend your birthday with you as a
friend tonight,” she said and pointed at the bag on the couch. “Look, I even
prepared a birthday gift for you.”
“I can’t wait to find out what it is,” he said, smiling.
“You'll find out for yourself later,” she said. The element of surprise would be
gone if she had revealed what the gift was.
Zacharias nodded. “Okay, but no matter what you're giving me, I'll treasure it.”
Her eyes turned into crescents as she smiled. “As long as you don’t mind it.”
“I won't. It's a present from you, and I'm more than happy to receive it.”
