Shirley chucked the plastic bag into the bin she lugged around with her. Then, she continued sweeping the ground. She felt her headband getting loose, so she took it off. A gust of breeze blew across the courtyard, and her hair fluttered in the wind. The sun shone upon her face, lending her even more beauty and life than she already had.
Zacharias narrowed his eyes and commented inwardly, Not just a regular girl, I see. He then realized he had wasted time commenting on a girl and heaved a frustrated sigh. So, he turned around and picked up the new file to go through it.
Afternoon came. Corinne made a five-course meal that looked delicious. When Shirley came back from work, she gulped. “Smells nice,” she said.
“It’s not for you,” Corinne answered snidely. Shirley said nothing more. Corinne said, “I’ll tell the vice president it’s time for lunch.
Not long after Corinne went upstairs, Zacharias came down. He was wearing a shirt, a vest, and a pair of pants. The attire made him look taller than he already was, and the man was already six-foot-three. Even though Shirley was five- foot-six, she looked short before him. “Lunch is ready, sir. Enjoy. We’ll be back in a moment,” said Corinne. She hoped her cooking would be praised.
Zacharias looked at the food, but he said nothing. Corinne waited for a while but didn’t get the compliment she wanted to hear. In the end, she felt dejected by his lack of response. Zacharias said, ‘I only need one of you around. I prefer a quiet place.”
Corinne thought Zacharias wanted her to stay since she was pretty, capable, and a good cook.
He turned around and swept his gaze across the ladies. When he laid his eyes on Shirley, she got nervous. She really didn’t want to stay. When he looked at Corinne, there was anticipation in her eyes. Corinne wanted to stay. In the end, he turned back to Shirley and pointed at her. “You’re staying.”
Shirley waved her hands quickly. “No, Mr. Flintstone. I can’t cook. Let Corinne stay.”
