Shirley left a good impression on her. After dinner, Shirley took a present from the waiter and presented it to the second lady of Dansbury. Delighted, the lady hugged Shirley and gave her a present in return. The dinner finally came to an end, and Shirley eased up a little. She stood with Zacharias, sending the second lady and gentleman of Dansbury off. Once their vehicle was out of sight, Shirley heaved a sigh of relief. She raised her head, asking, “Did I embarrass you?”
Zacharias put an arm around Shirley’s waist and leaned down. “No. You made me proud.”
Shirley smiled. That was the best praise she could receive. Zacharias took her into the car, but before that, Shirley saw the waiter walking to them with the present. She asked Zacharias, “Where are we sending this gift?”
Amused, Zacharias said, “The second lady of Dansbury gave you that. It belongs to you.”
Shirley was surprised she could keep the present.
“Take it. It’s your prize.” Zacharias chuckled. He told his bodyguards to take the presents while he took Shirley into the car.
Shirley got into the car, and someone texted her. She picked up her phone and realized it was from her mother. ‘Your father and I are going to Elliot’s place. We’re probably going to stay at their family’s hotel. You do whatever you want tonight.
Shirley heaved a sigh of relief. She was going to come up with an excuse not to go home later, but her mother gave her one. ‘Sure, Mom. Can do, Shirley texted.
Zacharias huddled closer. “Who are you talking to?”
“My mom. She and my dad won’t be home tonight, so I don’t have to go home either.” Shirley smiled at Zacharias. Zacharias was surprised. “Really? You can come to my place tonight?”
“I didn’t say I was going to your place. I’m going to Grandma’s,” Shirley teased. Zacharias held her hand at once and imperiously said, “You’re not going anywhere but my place tonight.”
