hold back his words?
“It's not that it can’t be made public, but | haven't announced it yet. So, Mr. Flintstone, please curb your
curiosity!” she retorted.
Zacharias glanced at his wristwatch. He had already wasted a lot of his ttalking to her, and he still had a pile
of work waiting for him.
“You may leave.”
Shirley was about to leave when the man suddenly thought of something and said, “Don’t go to bed yet. Cook
supper forat 10.30PM.”
She blinked. Why did he want to eat supper late at night? She couldn’t help but ask, “What do you want to eat?”

“I remember there are pierogi and dumplings in the fridge.” Shirley thought that those were easy to make.
“Dumplings then!” The man decided.
“Okay. I'll wait for you until 10.30PM,” she replied. After that, she opened the door and left.
The man sitting at the table found it hard to: immediately focus on work. Another question lingered in his mind-
who was the man Shirley secretly admired?
Which lucky guy had captured her infatuation? Shirley returned to her room and took off her coat before
revealing a shirt underneath. With her tall and well-proportioned figure, the slightly tight-fitting uniform set
showcased her curves perfectly.
She had a perfect body, but she usually wore uniforms at the base and was unable to show it off. She decided to
take a bath first as she still had two hours left until 10.30PM. She could rest a bit or read a book.
After a shower and changing into a loose long T-shirt, her long hair, which was now dry, flowed down her waist
like a waterfall. She was as graceful as a swan. She lay on the bed, picked up a book, and checked her phone.
Her mother had sent a voice message, so she replied to the message.
Since she had coordinated with her grandmother, her parents wouldn't suspect anything.Her grandmother
helped her keep her internship a secret, so if her parents returned unexpectedly, her grandmother would inform
her immediately.
During her internship, she might have to take a few days off to spend twith them. As long. as Zacharias was

asking, “Mr. Flintstone, shall | bring it up for you, or will you cdown to eat?”
“I'll cdown,” the man answered her. “All right. I'll go down and cook for you,” she said before closing the
door.
She went downstairs to the kitchen and found the frozen dumplings. They weren't the packaged ones from the
supermarket but specially provided for Zacharias’ household.
She realized she was a bit hungry but decided not to eat to maintain her figure. She ended up cooking twenty
dumplings unintentionally. When she realized it, it was already too late. Shirley had no choice but to go with it.
She placed her iPad nearby while searching for tutorial videos.
She learned to cook on the spot. She took a bowl, followed the instructions to prepare a fragrant sauce, and
sprinkled chopped green onions on top, making it visually appealing. She scooped ten dumplings using a ladle
into the soup and felt a sense of accomplishment.
