Shirley smiled. She had once harbored feelings for Cole. It was a naive fondness, but now she realized time had transformed those emotions into friendship.
She was not coy. She faced everything straightforwardly. Even when encountering Cole, she hoped for a sincere conversation and greeting.
At the entrance of the White House, a figure in a suit descended slowly. His pupils slightly widened for a few seconds when he saw the pair chatting in the parking lot.
Why was Cole here?
And why was Shirley talking with him?
The only man who could make Zacharias jealous was probably Cole!
Cole was pressed for time. After glancing at his watch, he said to Shirley, “Shirley, congratulations again. I wish you happiness.”
Shirley pursed her lips and accepted his wishes. “Thank you. I wish you success in your work as well.”
As Cole turned away, he felt a strong sense of oppression emanating from the man nearby instantly. His heart tightened slightly as he went to greet Zacharias. “Mr. Flintstone.”
“Hello.” Zacharias smiled and nodded gracefully.
Cole nodded back and then headed toward the entrance of the White House.
Shirley just realized Zacharias was there. Her gaze met his, and as he approached, she noticed that he seemed a bit jealous as he narrowed his eyes. She reached out and embraced his waist. “Are you jealous?”
Zacharias was restraining himself. He held her waist firmly and insisted, “Not at all. I know that
you love me.”
Shirley chuckled. “Mm! Being able to look at things from a different perspective is a good habit.”
“Of course. I’ve always been someone who looks at things from a third-party perspective,” Zacharias said. It was his approach that made him calm and rational.
Although he claimed not to be jealous, his hand on her waist proved otherwise. When the bodyguards approached to open the car door, he said, “Enter in ten minutes.”
