Night of Destiny Novel by Vanessa K

“Alright, give me five minutes, Shirley said before she went upstairs to change
her clothes. Five minutes later, she came downstairs and got into Zacharias’ car
to head to the Vice President's Residence. On the way, Zacharias looked at
documents while Shirley was lost in thought.
Finally, they arrived at the Vice President's Residence. As Zacharias massaged
his temples, Shirley turned to look at him and couldn't help sympathizing with him
for a few seconds. His daily work schedule was too tight.
Zacharias got out of the car while Shirley got out from the other side, standing at
the entrance of the Vice President's Residence. She felt as comfortable as she
would in her own home because she had been fostered here when she was a
child, and she often came with her father to this place. Sometimes, she would
stay here for several days.
A faint smile appeared on Zacharias’ lips as memories from his childhood came
rushing back. He remembered when he had come here with his father as a guest
and got lost in the backyard, only to meet a charming little girl.
He had never thought that 20 years later, he would return to this place with her
and continue being a guest there. The only difference was that the little girl from
back then had now grown into a graceful young woman.
When Shirley and Zacharias entered the hall, the helpers immediately came
forward. At the same time, the elegant and noble Ruka emerged from a side hall.
“Shirley!” Ruka greeted her with joy. This was a child she had watched grow up,
and she was as dear to her as her own.
“Great Aunt!” Shirley reached out and gave her a hug.
“It's been a while. You look even more beautiful now!” Ruka praised.
“Good evening, Mrs. Husson,” Zacharias greeted her with a smile.
“Good evening, Zach. I'm so glad you both could come for dinner. Your great-
uncle is still upstairs in an online meeting. Please have a seat. Dinner is being
prepared,” she offered.
Shirley nodded in response. Seeing that there was still some daylight left,
Zacharias turned to her and asked, “Miss Lloyd, would you like to take a walk
with me in the backyard?”
Shirley had yet to respond when Ruka Intervened, “Yes, let Shirley accompany
you to the backyard. She’s very familiar with it since she has lived here since she
was a child.”
And so, Shirley could only agree. “Alright, then. Let's go.”
Led by Shirley, Zacharias walked toward the corridor in the backyard. There was
a row of wisteria in full bloom beside it, presenting a beautiful and serene scene.
“I wish we could have met a bit earlier.” Zacharias regretted that he had met her
too late. Shirley couldn't help but giggle. “If we had met earlier, I might not have
paid much attention to you.”
Indeed, the old Shirley had blended in with the male team members at the base
and hadn't given much thought to any man. Wanting to be as strong as a man in
everything she did, she didn’t have the feminine qualities she had now.
Zacharias also chuckled. “You're right. Miss Lloyd, you do have high standards.”
Shirley's standards weren't high; she just hadn't awakened to her feelings for
men until the three months she met Cole.
Even then, her understanding of love between men and women was quite
limited. It was only when she met Zacharias that she truly began to understand
love in a romantic sense.

No wonder Zacharias had gotten lost here when he was a child.
He pointed to a path. “Back then, I was playing around here when I got lost and
couldn’t find my way home.”
