Zacharias let out another silent sigh. He had really angered her this time. This girl was not easily placated. He
wasn't skilled in soothing women either.
“Sir, do you have something on your mind?” Freddie turned to ask.
“Do you know how to comfort a girl?” Zacharias raised an eyebrow and asked. Freddie was stumped. He thought
seriously for a moment before shaking his head. “I don’t.”
After saying that, he couldn't help but turn to look at his boss. Is he in a romantic relationship with the girl who
was at his residence earlier?
Indeed, after Zacharias left, the atmosphere lightened. Shirley sat on the couch, taking a moment to rest. She
felt annoyed when she thought about Zacharias’ domineering and irritating kiss earlier. If it were any other girl,
they might have been too intimidated by Zacharias’ status to resist!
But Shirley wasn’t just any other girl. She grew up in a center of power, so Zacharias’ status didn’t intimidate
her. They interacted as equals. That evening, a housekeeper cto cook dinner just for her. After finishing her

Two days passed in the blink of an eye. Shirley was quite free. She had been reading books, using the computer,
and even had a phone call with her mother. In fact, she handled everything calmly.
The third day came, and Shirley thought Zacharias would be back. But as evening approached, there was no
news of his return.
Even the security guards in the dormitory outside were quiet. Shirley couldn't help but furrow her brows. Where
has Zacharias gone?
He hadn't sent her any messages in these three days, and she naturally hadn't taken the initiative to inquire
about his whereabouts. So, when Zacharias didn’t return, she suddenly felt that something was amiss.
She wondered if she was overthinking it or if something had happened to him. On the fourth. morning, Shirley
got up early and went to his door. She pushed open the door to his bedroom, but he wasn’t there. Could he be
working in his office and did not chome?
Shirley thought about it again. Could it be that after I rejected his kiss last time, this man is now too angry to see
By the evening of the fifth day, Shirley couldn’t hold back any longer and sent a message to Zacharias. Mr.
Flintstone, when are you coming back?
She sent the message and waited for a long time, but there was no reply. Maybe he’s just too busy...
Shirley picked up her phone and started browsing snews. Soon, she clicked on a video of a major car
accident on the highway, which was a particularly gruesincident. She couldn’t help but scroll down to read
the comments.
Many people were discussing the accident, but suddenly, a netizen popped up and commented, Do you guys

involved over a dozen cars and was a very serious accident.

‘Yeah! The news was suppressed, but that accident was even more serious than this one! This accident got
reported, while that one was suppressed.
Shirley stared at the comments, suddenly feeling an ominous premonition. She immediately searched for reports
of accidents. within the past week, but sure enough, there was no mention of the accident that the netizens had
mentioned.
If it did happen and was suppressed, it must be something that couldn’t be made public. Shirley picked up her
phone and dialed Roy’s number. She suddenly needed to confirm something.
“Hello! Imogen, what's up?” Roy's voice cthrough.
“Captain Barlowe, where is Mr. Flintstone?”
“Imogen, focus on your own work. Don’t inquire about other matters.” Roy's tone suddenly becstern.
At that point, Shirley was even more convinced that something had happened to Zacharias. She was so anxious
that she disregarded her identity and asked, “Captain Barlowe, please tellquickly-did something happen to
Mr. Flintstone?”
Roy’s voice lowered as he issued a serious warning. “Imogen, don’t ask about things that aren’t your concern.”
