Night of Destiny Novel by Vanessa K

Imogen’s smile disappeared as she watched Shirley accompany Zacharias into
the lobby while she could only stand next to the bodyguard’s car and wait for
orders.
The difference in treatment made her feel unjust. Shirley followed Zacharias to
his office door, and he told her, “Come on in.”
And so, she entered with him as he turned around to order Freddie, “Two cups of
tea.”
Then, Freddie asked an assistant to send the tea in while Zacharias sat on his
chair, looking serious and confident, radiating a charismatic aura.
The assistant brought the cups in and placed one before Zacharias and the other
in front of Shirley before leaving. Zacharias looked up and told Shirley, “Sit. You
don’t need to be so tense here.”
“I'm here to work, not enjoy my time.” Shirley didn’t accept his preferential
treatment.
He looked at her helplessly and didn’t push it anymore. After a moment, Freddie
entered and led Zacharias out for a meeting. Then, Shirley followed him and saw
him seated in the middle of a grand couch while chatting politely with a few
foreign guests.
She watched the poised man exude a sense of dominance, causing the guests to
treat him with respect.
He would occasionally look at her with a hint of a smile in his gaze, and she felt
as if her mind would wander if she met his eyes. His smile could easily make one
lose their mind, so she decided to fix her gaze somewhere else and not in his
direction.
During lunchtime, Zacharias had to eat with the guests while Shirley ate with
Freddie, who was welcoming toward her.
“Miss Lloyd, I think you don’t need to stand on stage with Mr. Flintstone during
the speech later, Freddie commented.
“Why?”
“You'll distract him during the speech,” he stated. She blinked her eyes in
confusion. So, he explained with a smile, “You know that Mr. Flintstone likes you,
right?”
Shirley's face burned. “What does this have to do with me standing beside him
on stage?”
“Obviously, he needs to focus on the speech, and you'll distract him if you stand
beside him,” Freddie said matter-of-factly. Even though Shirley felt that wasn't
possible, she still nodded. “Alright. I'll stand below the stage, then.”
“Captain Barlowe has arranged for someone to stand beside Mr. Flintstone, so
you needn't worry. We've made sufficient arrangements this time. Nothing will
happen.”
Shirley nodded. “Okay.” Of course, she would trust in Roy's capabilities.
After the meal, Zacharias needed some rest, and Shirley stood guard outside his
office door. Then, he suddenly opened the door and told her, “Come in.”
“Is there a problem?” she asked, to which he answered, “Yes.”
And so, Shirley entered his office, only to hear him shut the door and lock it. She
was stunned and glared at him. Why did he lock the door?

She couldn't do anything else, so she muttered, “Go to sleep then! I'll be here.”
He nodded and leaned into the couch as he closed his eyes with her sitting
beside him.
