Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 2452

The day quickly turned into an evening. Corinne arrived as she came to prepare dinner, and when she walked over,

Shirley could see that her sharp gaze was filled with resentment.

“I’ll stay and attend to Mr. Flintstone tonight. You can leave,” Corinne said to her. Shirley frowned. “The captain didn’t tell me to leave.”

Zacharias also didn’t instruct her to leave. She couldn’t leave her post without authorization. “Hah! You think you’re so important, huh?”

Corinne mocked before heading toward the kitchen. “Mr. Flintstone’s nephew is also here. You need to cook for two people.” Shirley reminded her.

Corinne didn’t say anything, but she would follow Shirley’s reminder. Tonight, she hoped to be the one Zacharias chose to stay in the mansion.

While Shirley was standing guard at the door, someone suddenly tapped her shoulder. She reached back almost instinctively and grabbed the person’s hand before twisting his arm behind his back.

“Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!” Tony’s startled cry came through. Upon seeing that it was him, she immediately released him and warned him, “Don’t do this ever again.”

After experiencing Shirley’s prowess, he chuckled. “Pretty, you’ve got some skills. Can you teach me? If you do, next time I get into a fight, I won’t get beaten so badly.”

Shirley disliked his glib tongue and said sternly, “Mr. Flintstone, please mind your words.”

“You didn’t tell me your name, so I had to address you as ‘Pretty,” Tony reasoned. Shirley continued standing straight while ignoring his teasing.

“Ah! I’m exhausted. Writing a thousand words of self-critique is no joke. My uncle is so old- fashioned. He still makes me write self-critique in this day and age,” Tony complained as he stretched lazily.

“Oh! Someone’s cooking?” Tony dashed to the kitchen. In no time, he returned to Shirley before saying, “Are you two my uncle’s 24/7 personal bodyguards?”

“Yes,” Shirley replied.
