NovelEnglishShirley took a step back in shock while Zacharias chuckled. “Are you afraid of me?” Glaring at him with her pretty eyes, Shirley
grumbled silently, Is this man making fun of me?
“While we're outside, you're no longer my bodyguard but Miss Lloyd. Let's sit down and have a meal as equals,” Zacharias said.
Stunned, Shirley asked, “Is this also an order?” “Yes. | am ordering you.” Zacharias nodded. Releasing a slight breath of relief,
Shirley agreed, “Fine. But don’t you complain to my father and say I'm slacking off.” Zacharias nodded and promised, “Don’t worry.
I will sign my non your internship documents.” Upon hearing that, Shirley felt relieved and sat down. The man elegantly
poured her a glass of wine. “Relax. You seem very nervous.” Shirley immediately put her guard up after seeing the wine as she
wasn't a good drinker.
“l can’t drink wine, so I'll have tea instead.” Once she said so, she poured herself a cup of tea.
After sitting down, Zacharias picked up the wine glass and took a sip. He was in an exceptionally good mood today. Initially, he
thought she was going to leave, but he didn’t expect the Lloyds would let her stay with him. Though she would only be staying for
three months, that period was very precious to him, and he vowed to make the young woman fall in love with him during this time.
While they were having lunch, the restaurant was very quiet. Since both of them were extremely well-mannered, the place seemed
even quieter.

art, an art that constantly stirred up his possessive instincts. He had encountered many women and numerous admirers, but the
woman before him was the only one who truly ignited his desire. The urge to conquer her was surging inside him at any given
moment.
“I'm full, so I'll wait for you outside.” Shirley spoke and quickly got up. The uniform she wore accentuated her waist and legs,
making her look slim but also bold.
Zacharias didn’t get up immediately but sat there and let out a light sigh. Getting to his position wasn’t that difficult, but why was
pursuing a woman so difficult?
At the thought of that woman standing outside the restaurant in the cold wind, he immediately withdrew his thoughts and grabbed
his phone before heading outside.
Indeed, Shirley was standing beside the car. There was suddenly a gust of cold wind, making her delicate figure appear even more
fragile. He quickly made his way over and said to her, “Get in the car.” Shirley nodded, and the others quickly got inside the car.
When Shirley got in, she felt a warm, large hand touch her hands that were on her knees. Just as she pulled her hand away, the
man turned to look at her, thinking, Just as | thought. Her hands are so cold. In the future, | shouldn't take her out on such days
and let her stay at hwhere it's warmer.
The convoy headed toward the Flintstone Residence. Once Zacharias returned home, he immediately went to his study, where
Freddie awaited him. Since he was injured, he had chosen to work at hand postponed several external tasks.
Shirley held a cup of tea and knocked on the door before sending it into the study, but just as she was about to leave, Zacharias
suddenly called out to her, “You don’t have to leave. Sit on the couch and read a book.” Stunned, Shirley spoke up. “I'll wait by the
door.” “Stay with me.” The man gave her a brief glance and demanded. Shirley nodded and sat on the couch before taking a
philosophy book from the nearby pile and reading it.
Meanwhile, Zacharias becmore relaxed as he worked. Besides, with the girl within his sight, he no longer needed to divert his
thoughts to think about her. Just a brief glance. when he took a break from work was enough to alleviate his fatigue.
As tpassed, it was soon 10.00PM.
“Cto my room later and helpchange my bandages,” the man instructed.
Shirley put away the book. ‘Sure. When will you be finished with work?” “Around 11.00PM. You may rest for a while,” Zacharias
replied.
