Shirley immediately tensed up. Only then did she realize that the internship she thought of and the one she was
experiencing were completely different.
She had thought it would be simple by just standing guard at the door every day. Little did she know that she would have
to accompany Zacharias to discuss business.
“Understood.” She nodded calmly while resigning herself to the situation. Shirley followed behind Zacharias and entered
the elevator, while the bodyguard had to stay downstairs. This was the highest level of meeting, so bodyguards were not
allowed in; only assistants were permitted.
As soon as she entered the elevator, her expression visibly tightened. At that moment, a deep male voice asked, “Are you
nervous?”
She nodded without hesitating. “I’m just an intern bodyguard.”
“Relax. It’s just a routine conversation.” Zacharias reassured her.
Shirley took a deep breath to calm her nerves. They reached the sixth floor, and Zacharias walked ahead. They entered a
luxurious meeting room, and Zacharias immediately smiled and greeted a foreign guest, who stood up to welcome them
too, with a graceful demeanor.
They shook hands, exchanged warm smiles, and conversed in Chinese. Zacharias exuded a calm and commanding
presence while displaying wisdom and convincing power in his words despite his age.
Shirley also smiled and greeted the two people, then watched as they chatted while walking toward the couch..
Shirley sat in one of the nearby chairs along with the other person’s assistant. Just by looking at the blonde-haired, blueeyed female assistant sitting beside her, she could tell that the person next to her was not a simple individual.
Fortunately, the atmosphere between Zacharias and the foreign guest was very good and they mostly focused on
fostering friendship: between the two countries without involving conflicting interests.
