Zacharias chuckled. “So, you have wished, so shall it be.”
Shirley felt herself getting pulled into a warm embrace. She could smell the scent of shampoo on Zacharias. It tickled her heart,
and she wanted to get closer to him. Holding her nape, Zacharias kissed her. It was a gentle kiss, enough to melt Shirley. She
thought she was going to beca puddle.
In the dark, she tasted Zacharias, and her whole body was overwhelmed by his scent. He nibbled on her lip and dipped down lower.
Shirley was shivering, her hands held by Zacharias. In the darkness, Zacharias took what he wanted from her like a predator.
Dawn came. When Shirley opened her eyes, Zacharias had gone to work. Contented, she slept in the place he slept in, sniffing his
lingering scent. All she could think of was everything that happened the night before. That was crazy.
Zacharias left a note for her on the table, telling her to stay at hand take a break, and if she wanted to leave the house, she
must have bodyguards following her around. After that harrowing kidnapping in Flor, he would not let her get into any risky
situation again.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShirley wanted to swing by her grandmother's place in the afternoon. She didn’t ask Zacharias’ bodyguards to follow her as she
didn’t want to waste his resources. If he needed bodyguards, but they were protecting her, he would be in danger. Shirley had
nothing to fear back in her hcountry.
Shirley had lunch at her grandmother's place. It had been a long tsince Ava saw her granddaughter. She thought the girl felt a
little more grown up this time. She noticed the hickey on Shirley's neck, but her eyes weren't as good as they were, so she thought
it was a mosquito bite. “It’s winter. It's not mosquito season, so...”
Shirley’s cheeks burned up. She quickly clapped her hand on the hickey. “No, no, it was a mosquito. There was one in my room last
night.” A big and fierce one, too. Ava said, “You have to close the windows. Don’t want the bugs to cin.”
“Of course, Grandma.” Shirley smiled. Whew, that was close. Curious, Ava asked, vice president? When's the meeting with the
parents?”
“We're getting along well. Won't be seeing the parents soon.” Shirley was still a little embarrassed about breaking the secret to her
parents.
“Tell him to cover and have dinner sometimes.”
“Not a good idea, Grandma. You know who he is. He can’t go around anywhere he wants,” said Shirley.
Ah, right. The vice president can't visit just anyone he wants to.
It was almost five, and Shirley wanted to go home. Just then, someone rang the doorbell. Shirley said, “I'll get it, Grandma.” She
cinto the courtyard, and when she saw who was standing outside, her eyes went wide. “What brings you here?” She was
surprised, but she opened the door for Zacharias.
“Cto see Ava.” Zacharias smiled, holding presents up.
Shirley knew she was tailed again. How else would he find out | chere? “I was just about to go home, and you showed up,”
said Shirley.
“We'll have dinner with Ava, then.” Zacharias smiled. Well, Grandma wants to see him anyway. Shirley nodded. “Sure. Tell Roy to
patrol the perimeter.”
“Don’t worry. They know what to do without you telling them.” Zacharias put an arm around Shirley and took her into the

Ava wondered who the guest was. She then saw a young man coming in. He was handsand dashing, just like the perfect
grandson-in-law she wanted. Ava stood up, welcoming Zacharias. “Hello, Mr. Vice President.”
