Zacharias smiled. “A couple always share a room, don’t they?” “But we're not a real couple!” Shirley protested quietly.
“Then we'll becone,” replied Zacharias seriously. Quietly, Shirley requested, “Can’t you ask them to free up two rooms for us?”
Zacharias answered hoarsely, “No. They're going to tell everyone we're not on great terms.” “They won't.” “Just deal with it and
share a room withfor a couple of nights.” Zacharias wouldn't help her.
Speechless, Shirley bit her lip. She couldn't exactly say if she was looking forward to this, but she wasn’t insisting on getting
another room.
They had a candlelit dinner that night. There were only two of them, but they were served with more than twenty dishes. They
weren't big enough to fill the couple, but they tasted good.
Shirley had a nice time. After dinner, she went through the art gallery and jewelry exhibit to wash her food down. At nine, she
cto the master bedroom. She saw a pink, revealing nightgown on the hanger beside the bed and a gray pair of men’s pajamas
draped beside it. Shirley stared at the nightgown, stunned. Zacharias crossed his arms, staring at her challengingly. “I challenge
you to wear that nightgown.” *Challenge accepted. After all, | have a nice body.” Shirley would not refuse a challenge, and she was

excuse. “It's pretty chilly tonight, though.” “I'll make sure the AC is warm enough.” Zacharias made sure she couldn't weasel her
way out.
Shirley had no more excuses. She stared at the nightgown again. No woman can resist this. It's gorgeous. | guess I'll just wear it for

“| have swork to do. You do whatever you want. Zacharias led her to the couch.
Shirley had nothing to do, so she watched as Zacharias took his laptop out, put it on the table, and stared at the screen. He typed
away on the keyboard, sliding on his mousepad. His hands were beautiful. Ah, men are really hot when they work. Zacharias
proves just that. Also, he has no idea how hot he is. He never cares about his looks, but that’s why men like them are more
charming.
Shirley looked at the time, deciding not to disturb him. When she picked up her phone, she noticed a text from her mother asking if
she was having fun. Shirley put her phone on silent mode and chatted with her mother.
The clock struck ten. Zacharias was done with work, and he closed his laptop.
He then asked Shirley, “Are you using the bathroom first, or should | go first instead?” Shirley looked at him. “Go ahead.” “I
challenge you to cin with me.” Zacharias smiled.
“No.” Shirley didn’t fall for it this time. She realized she had to think every tbefore she answered Zacharias.
Zacharias laughed and got up for a shower. Shirley couldn't even pretend to watch the news. She was distracted by the sloshing of
the water in the bathroom, and she got nervous. She stared at the bed that looked incredibly inviting. | have to share that bed with
Zacharias tonight. Can | even fall asleep?
Shirley becnervous upon thinking about that.
She looked at the couch. Hey, | can sleep on the couch. If worse comes to worst, I'll do that.
She was engrossed in her thoughts for a while, and the bathroom door creaked open. Zacharias didn’t take his pajamas with him.
He cout wearing nothing but a towel around his lower body, revealing his muscular build for Shirley's enjoyment.
