Night of Destiny Novel by Vanessa K

“Grandma, we're done eating. Mr. Flintstone, don’t you have a meeting to
attend?” Shirley smiled at Zacharias, her eyes hinting at something.
Zacharias nodded. He, too, didn't want to disturb their lunch any longer. “Yes, the
meeting is about to start.”
“Grandma, Old Madam Dawson, Mr. Dawson, we'll take our leave. Mr. Dawson,
could you please take my Grandma home? Thank you.” She stood up, reached
out to grab Zacharias’ arm, and called Tony to come along. “Tony, let's go!”
She couldn't leave Tony here; otherwise, her grandmother would overhear
everything about her and Zacharias. Tony smiled, said goodbye to everyone, and
left. Then, Shirley turned around and reminded Zacharias, “Put on your mask.”
After watching him obediently put on his mask, she nervously looked around
before accompanying him downstairs.
Inside the car, Zacharias took off his mask. Shirley let out a sigh of relief and
turned to him, scolding him in a low voice, “Why did you come over?”
Seeing her genuinely upset, he replied truthfully, “I didn’t want someone else to
take you away.”
She choked and said, “Take me away? What are you talking about? I have a
mind of my own. I'm not a commodity that can be taken away with just a glance!”
Zacharias let out a chuckle. “Are you trying to comfort me?”
“Absolutely not.” Shirley flushed red. “You shouldn't have come. Now that my
Grandma knows, my parents will also know tomorrow. The day after tomorrow...”
She felt a bit overwhelmed. After all, this was an extremely awkward situation as
she had never openly discussed her relationship issues.
“So, what if the whole world knows? Can't we love each other?” he asked with
his eyes narrowed.
“When did I fall in love with you?” She expressed that she didn’t even know
something like this had happened. He reached out and rubbed the back of her
head. “You will sooner or later.”
Biting her red lips, Shirley chose not to argue with Zacharias for now. She would
deal with it when they got back. After all, there were bodyguards in the car, and
she didn’t want to talk to him at the moment.
Throughout the journey, his gaze frequently fell on the girl beside him,
appreciating her elegant and beautiful profile. It was like admiring a static
painting; the view gave him the urge to make a drawing of her and preserve it.
Finally, they arrived at the Flintstone Residence. After getting out of the car, she
opened the door, inviting the man inside before entering herself.
“All right, scold me however you want!” Zacharias opened his hands. Shirley
looked at him with strange eyes. “Why would I scold you?”
“Didn't I ruin your blind date today? Aren't you angry?”
She had been quietly pouting during their journey home. With his chest tightened
nervously, he wanted to let off some steam when they came back to the
residence. She shook her head. “No need. I'll explain this to Grandma later.”
“Why do you have to do that?” He raised his eyebrows.
“Do you think now is the right time to be in a relationship? You better focus on
your work!” Shirley advised. Zacharias had just taken office. If rumors of their
relationship spread, it would surely affect public opinion.
It could also provide an opportunity for those who had objections to him to use
this as a pretext to suppress him. She hoped he would consolidate his political
power before diving into a romantic relationship.
This was what she had been thinking about throughout the journey. Everything
was for his sake.
Zacharias’ handsome face froze for a few seconds. Eventually, he stepped
forward, hugged her, and uttered, “Okay, I'll listen to you.”
