An unprecedented sense of defeat overwhelmed her, and it was Zacharias who gave her this feeling. Just now, she felt her own powerlessness and the feeling of exerting all her strength but still being unable to defeat the opponent-it was truly disheartening.
Who exactly was Zacharias? When he wore a suit, he was the distinguished Vice President, without the suit, he was a formidable martial artist.
She realized she had underestimated him. If he hadn’t pulled her just now, she would have definitely fallen embarrassingly. How infuriating!
This left a significant impact on Shirley’s emotions. She returned to her dormitory with a mix of frustration and begrudging acceptance.
After taking off her outer clothing and revealing her vest, she looked at the fresh bruises on her wrist. The man’s strength was indeed impressive.
She exhaled deeply and silently adjusted her emotions. At that moment, her phone rang. Her eyes widened as she looked at it-the sender was Cole.
‘Shirley, I heard that you’re in Averna. I got. transferred here today. Here’s my contact information for future convenience.’
Shirley joyfully covered her mouth as she was afraid that she might burst into laughter. She quickly replied, ‘Cole, I’m in
Averna too. Which department have you been transferred to?”
‘The White House.”
Shirley became even happier, it was her great- uncle’s residence. It was great news to her as they would have more opportunities to meet.
‘Great! Let’s have a meal when you’re free! Shirley’s earlier frustration disappeared in an instant because her heart was filled with anticipation, even though she knew it would be some time before she could meet Cole.
Upon thinking that Cole was in Averna, she felt her heart brimming with vitality.
‘Sure! Let’s stay in touch, Cole replied. She looked at this message while silently thinking to herself, If only I could meet you every day.
However, she couldn’t tell him this, so she wrote a simple reply. ‘Okay. Let’s stay in touch.”
After having dinner at the cafeteria, taking a shower, and getting ready to rest, her phone suddenly rang. She picked it up and saw an unknown number.
“Hello! Who’s this?” Shirley answered.
“Did I hurt you?” A low and magnetic voice came from the other end. Upon hearing the voice, Shirley recognized who it was and exclaimed, “Mr. Flintstone? You’re not asleep yet?”
“Are you injured?” he asked again. She replied casually, “It’s nothing. It’s common for me. I apologize if I offended you, Mr.
Flintstone.”
“Tonight was just a spar. You don’t need to feel burdened. In my eyes, you’re already great.” He comforted her in a deep voice.
Shirley’s mind buzzed for a moment. Then, she said in a calm tone, “Thank you, Mr. Flintstone. You’ve helped me understand that I need to constantly improve myself.”
“Come over early tomorrow morning and accompany me outside,” the man said and then hung up the phone
Shirley frowned. He wanted her to accompany him outside? Wasn’t she supposed to stay and serve him in his residence?
Why would she need to accompany him. outside? She couldn’t help but feel nervous. Could it be that she had to accompany him to meet some political figures? What if she encountered her great-uncle? Wouldn’t that expose everything?
Could she not go? Shirley wondered in her heart.
However, she could only decide tomorrow morning. As she lay in bed, she couldn’t fall asleep. Her mind was filled with the sparring session with Zacharias tonight. Every move she made seemed flawless, but this man effortlessly blocked them. It was evident that his strength and speed far surpassed hers.
The terrifying power of this man lay in the fact that, in his usual demeanor, it was impossible. to tell that he was exceptionally strong in martial arts. He appeared to be a cultured politician. It was like he was an iceberg- dangerous and hidden beneath a calm exterior. People saw only the sharp tip above the water’s surface, while there was even more terrifying strength below the sea.
Shirley forced herself to fall asleep. Early in the morning, she received a command on her phone. ‘Assemble outside the mansion at 8.00AM She arrived five minutes early and asked the captain, “Captain, where are we going?”
“Mr. Flintstone is meeting a foreign guest today. Your task is to pretend to be his female assistant and protect him.”
She breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he was only meeting a foreign guest, which should be relatively safe for her identity.
Just then, Zacharias came out. He was dressed in a classic black and white suit. He exuded a mature and imposing aura.
She coincidentally met his gaze, causing her heart to skip a beat. She was just an intern replacing someone else, after all, so she felt a bit uneasy. Zacharias’ gaze seemed too sharp, and she decided to avoid direct eye contact with him in the future..
Shirley was about to open the back door of a car to get in when the captain called her, “Imogen, you and Mr. Flintstone will ride together.”
Shirley was surprised as she thought, My status isn’t that noble; how can I ride in the same car as Zacharias?
Nevertheless, she went to open the front passenger seat of the car Zacharias was in.
As she pulled it open, she realized there was already another bodyguard seated inside. So, she had to sit in the back seat.
Shirley had just been thinking about how far she could stay away from this man, but fate seemed to want them close.
She opened the back door and saw that only Zacharias was inside and he was focused on reading documents. He wore a gray vest with the shirt sleeves rolled up, revealing his muscular arms and the prestigious watch on his wrist.
She hesitated but eventually sat beside him. The cup holder was pulled down and he had placed a teacup there.
Considering he seemed engrossed in the documents, Shirley decided to remain silent while waiting for the convoy to start.
Shirley lacked experience as she was working as a bodyguard for the first time. In the car, she couldn’t help but look out of the window and observe the scenery.
She didn’t notice the man beside her casting her a meaningful glance. There was a faint smile tinged with a hint of playfulness playing on his lips.
The convoy smoothly reached a governmental residence as it was guided by precise traffic control. After the car came to a stop, the captain and the other bodyguards formed at secure perimeter before shielding Zacharias as he exited the vehicle. Shirley immediately. jogged over while staying close to him and accompanying him inside..
Shirley didn’t faze at all when facing such a solemn environment. She had grown up in such surroundings. With an air of grace and composure, she looked confident and elegant in her suit and trousers. Her hair was tied in a ponytail. She presented a neat and agile appearance.
At this moment, a subordinate handed a purse to Shirley and whispered, “You should know what’s inside, right?”
Shirley nodded. “I know.”
“You’re the only one who can accompany Mr. Flintstone to have the conversation. If something unexpected happens, prioritize his safety above all else. Understand?”
Shirley immediately tensed up. Only then did she realize that the internship she thought of and the one she was experiencing were completely different.
She had thought it would be simple by just standing guard at the door every day. Little did she know that she would have to accompany Zacharias to discuss business.
