Before Tony could come around, an annoyed voice commanded, “Get out.”
Finally, Tony snapped out of it, and he quickly apologized with a grin, “Sorry for
the intrusion. You two, please continue.”
With that, he scurried off, closing the door behind him. Shirley's face turned red
with embarrassment. Great, there's no clarifying the situation anymore! And what
was I thinking last night, sleeping in Zacharias’ bed?
She lifted the covers, got out of bed, and hastily opened the door to leave. Just
as she stepped out, she saw Tony still there. However, he didn’t make fun of her.
Instead, he asked, “Goddess, did you sleep well last night?”
“It's not what you think. Your uncle took sleeping pills, and I was just keeping him
company...” Shirley tried to explain, but Tony's eyes were teasing, making her
realize that the explanation was futile.
“Never mind. Nothing happened between us,” she said and went downstairs.
After returning to her room, she took a few breaths to calm down. Good Lord,
that was embarrassing!
Twenty minutes later, Zacharias came downstairs dressed in a classic black suit,
exuding a captivating charm.
“Sir, the convoy is ready. We can leave now,” Freddie said.
“How did you handle those people from last night?” Zacharias asked.
“They've all been arrested.”
“Don't let them off easily,” Zacharias grunted in a deep voice. Although Freddie
didn’t understand how those thugs offended Zacharias, he knew that this matter
had to be handled with caution.
Shirley, who was on the second floor, breathed a sigh of relief when she saw
Zacharias’ convoy leaving. As she touched her face, it was still warm, as if the
man's warmth lingered on her, even though nothing had happened last night.
After breakfast, Shirley returned to her room to watch the news. She eagerly
looked for glimpses of the man in the news. Although there were only a few
shots, Shirley deliberately paused to stare at him.
She couldn't help but imagine how he would look if he hadn't slept well last night
and dozed off in this setting! At the same time, Ava had just called her good
friend. “Lyra, your grandson is still in the country, right?”
“Yes, he won't be leaving until after the New Year.”
“How about we meet up this weekend? I'd like to introduce my granddaughter to
your grandson.”
“That sounds good. I was actually thinking about that, too.”
“Great! My granddaughter happens to be in the city and is free on the weekends.
So, it's a date. We'll bring them out together for a meal. Who knows, they might
hit off.”
“It would be wonderful if we could become in- laws! I'm looking forward to it!”
After hanging up the phone, Ava was filled with anticipation. She wanted to
introduce her granddaughter to a young man she knew well.
In the evening, while Shirley was contemplating what to have for dinner, her
phone rang. She picked it up and was surprised to find her granduncle calling.
“Hello, Granduncle.”
“Shir, come over for dinner tonight.”
“Sure, I'll definitely come,” Shirley happily replied.
“Great, make sure to come early tonight.”

“Are you sure we're going together?” she checked.
