Zacharias let out another silent sigh. He had really angered her this time. This girl was not easily placated. He wasn’t skilled in soothing women either.
“Sir, do you have something on your mind?” Freddie turned to ask.
“Do you know how to comfort a girl?” Zacharias raised an eyebrow and asked.
Freddie was stumped. He thought seriously for a moment before shaking his head. “I don’t.”
After saying that, he couldn’t help but turn to look at his boss. Is he in a romantic relationship with the girl who was at his residence earlier?
Indeed, after Zacharias left, the atmosphere lightened. Shirley sat on the couch, taking a moment to rest. She felt annoyed when she thought about Zacharias’ domineering and irritating kiss earlier. If it were any other girl, they might have been too intimidated by Zacharias’ status to resist!
But Shirley wasn’t just any other girl. She grew up in a center of power, so Zacharias’ status didn’t intimidate her. They interacted as equals. That evening, a housekeeper came to cook dinner just for her. After finishing her meal, Shirley went back to her room.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye. Shirley was quite free. She had been reading books, using the computer, and even had a phone call with her mother. In fact, she handled everything calmly.
The third day came, and Shirley thought Zacharias would be back. But as evening approached, there was no news of his return.
Even the security guards in the dormitory outside were quiet. Shirley couldn’t help but furrow her brows. Where has Zacharias gone?
He hadn’t sent her any messages in these three days, and she naturally hadn’t taken the initiative to inquire about his whereabouts. So, when Zacharias didn’t return, she suddenly felt that something was amiss. She wondered if she was overthinking it or if something had happened to him.
On the fourth. morning, Shirley got up early and went to his door. She pushed open the door to his bedroom, but he wasn’t there. Could he be working in his office and did not come home?
Shirley thought about it again. Could it be that after I rejected his kiss last time, this man is now too angry to see me again?
By the evening of the fifth day, Shirley couldn’t hold back any longer and sent a message to Zacharias. Mr. Flintstone, when are you coming back?
