“Sure! I’ll treat you.”
“No, I’ll treat you. You’re not allowed to argue with me about this meal,” Shirley said dominantly. Cole had taken care of her in various ways in the base, so it was only right that she treated him to a meal.
Roy, who was blending into the crowd, followed them to the sixth floor. During this journey, Cole’s inner excitement grew. All his thoughts were on Shirley. He felt her affection for him and at the same time, he had chosen to transfer here because he knew she was here.
After Shirley left, Cole realized that in the three months they spent together, he had fallen in love with her. It wasn’t just a liking, it was love.
He decided to take a bold step in his life. He came here to pursue a stable job and hoped that he might have a chance to be with Shirley in the future.
Upon seeing them enter the restaurant, Roy followed shortly after. However, they entered a private room and it was difficult for him to sneakily record. Roy sat on a chair outside the restaurant and sent all the recorded videos to
Zacharias.
At this moment, Zacharias sat at the head of the table in a solemn conference room. Although his phone was on silent, the screen continued to display incoming messages. While he listened to his subordinates’ reports, his gaze was drawn to the phone and his heart was eager to see the content of the messages.
He grabbed his phone, stood up, and went to the balcony. His assistant, Freddie
Hurst, wanted to ask something but was stopped by him. “I want some time alone.”
Freddie immediately stood a few meters away and waited. Zacharias opened the first photo and finally saw the appearance of the man Shirley liked.
He had well-defined features, an upright aura, and appeared to be younger than
Zacharias by a year or two. He was undoubtedly more exceptional than an average man. He must be an outstanding individual cultivated by the base.
As Zacharias looked at the way Shirley gazed at the man, it was as though something was gripping his chest, making him feel a bit anxious. Does she really like the man that much?
Shirley’s clear eyes strongly revealed her admiration. It was like she was looking at a god she worshiped.
In the following videos, she took the initiative to link arms with the man while walking side by side. Soon, the man unlinked their arms and wrapped his arm around her shoulder while she put her arm around his waist.
The two walked through the crowd like a couple. Zacharias felt a constriction in his chest again, and his eyebrows knitted together.
Then, they entered the restaurant, and Roy sent a message, ‘Mr. Flintstone, they have entered a private dining room, so I can’t take pictures discreetly!
Zacharias replied to Roy’s message, ‘Don’t let her notice you’ When Zacharias returned to his seat, a daunting aura surrounded him, making everyone in the meeting room feel a chill. The vice president had only gone out briefly, yet his whole aura had changed.
Who has provoked him?
Fortunately, the meeting was about to end. After listening to the reports,
Zacharias left without saying much.
In the restaurant, Cole was also curious about what Shirley was doing here.
“Shirley, are you here just to accompany your grandmother?”
Shirley didn’t dare to reveal her current job, so she lied with a guilty conscience.
“Yes. I promised my mom to come and accompany my grandmother.”
“Is there any other reason? Like, is there something wrong with your health?”
Cole asked with concern.
Shirley smiled and shook her head. “Don’t worry! I’m perfectly fine. I can easily go against three right now.”
Cole couldn’t help but be amused by her. “I believe you have the strength for that.”
Shirley also chuckled. “But there’s no need to fight now. Otherwise, I could warm myself up.”
“I hope you won’t fight anymore,” Cole said. Even though she was strong, accidents could happen in battles, and he would worry if she got hurt.
Shirley nodded. “Okay. I’ll be a good girl and stop fighting, then.”
He nodded. At this moment, she received a message from Zacharias.
‘What are you doing?’ he asked.
Shirley casually glanced at the message and decided not to reply. Since she was on leave, she didn’t need to respond to him for everything. Cole couldn’t help but ask, “Aren’t you going to reply to the message?”
“It’s not an important message. There have been too many junk messages recently and I don’t want to bother with them,” Shirley muttered before putting her phone aside. She then curiously asked, “Cole, is your job dangerous?”
Cole smiled. “It depends, but that’s part of my job.”
“Be careful, then. Don’t make me worry about you. Shirley was very worried about his safety. “All right. I’ll be careful.” He nodded. Even without her reminding him, he didn’t want to make her worry either.
“This is delicious.” She then scooped some food onto his plate. At the same time, in another upscale restaurant, Zacharias sat at the table, staring at his phone as he waited for a message. He had been waiting for over ten minutes, and the girl hadn’t replied to him. So, she’s with her beloved man and doesn’t even want to bother me anymore?
He couldn’t believe that Shirley hadn’t seen his messages. Since her phone was secure for her profession, she wouldn’t receive junk texts, and she would see every message. Frustrated, he sent another message. ‘Reply to my message!
He wrote it in a more commanding tone.
Shirley glanced at the message that lit up again, and with some impatience, she picked up her phone and checked the message. It was another overbearing message from Zacharias. What could he possibly want?
Yes, Mr. Flintstone? she finally replied. ‘From now on, even if you’re taking time off, you’re not allowed to ignore my messages, the man quickly responded.
Seeing that, she scoffed and replied, ‘What is it, Mr. Flintstone?! ‘Be back at the residence before 2.00PM.’ He had shortened her time off.
This annoyed her, for it was already 12.30PM. If she had to be back at the residence by 2.00PM, it meant she had exactly one less hour for her date with
Cole. Tll be back before 3.00PM, alright? Shirley. requested.
Across the table, Cole watched as Shirley’s expression showed signs of annoyance when she replied to the messages. It was clear that she was having an unpleasant exchange with someone.
“What’s wrong? Did someone upset you?” he asked curiously. Since Shirley had no one else to vent to, she complained to him, “Yeah, there’s this really.
annoying person who’s been making things difficult for me.”
