Zacharias sat at the dining table, watching his nephew hold Shirley’s hand. Immediately, he cleared his throat and said, “Tony, come over and have your breakfast.”
At his words, Tony quickly released Shirley’s hand and refrained from making any advances. After all, she was going to be his uncle’s future wife.
“Hurry and come over, Tony. It’s a bodyguard’s duty to stand guard.” Jesslyn felt discontent too. Why is Tony being so friendly with a bodyguard?
Tony obediently joined them for breakfast, and Jesslyn continued to plead with Zacharias, “Please, Zacharias. Just let me stay here for three days. I promise to behave.”
“No.” Zacharias was holding his coffee, but his gaze remained fixed on the straight figure at the door.
“How about just one day, then? Let me stay here for the night.”
“Leave by 3.00 PM at the latest,” he replied calmly.
Frustrated, she bit her lip. Suddenly, she realized that even though Zacharias was talking to her, his gaze was fixated in one direction. She followed his gaze and saw Shirley’s slender figure.
At once, a tinge of jealousy flared in her eyes. I’ve underestimated the bodyguard’s place in Zacharias’ heart.
After breakfast, Zacharias instructed the servant clearing the table, “Prepare another. breakfast.”
“Sure, Mr. Flintstone,” the servant acknowledged, well aware of who it was for.
“Accompany Jesslyn and escort her home in the afternoon, Zacharias told Tony. After that, he dialed a number to summon his convoy, as he needed to spend the day at the office.
Seeing that he was about to leave, Shirley stepped forward and picked up his overcoat for him. Instead of accepting it, he instructed her, “Help me put it on.”
