In quick steps, Jesslyn ran upstairs. At the top of the staircase, she couldn’t stop herself from looking in the direction of Shirley, only to see that she was still standing there with Zacharias. Filled with disgruntlement, she wanted to eavesdrop on their conversation and heard Zacharias’ voice. “I apologize to you on Jesslyn’s behalf.” “You don’t have to.” Shirley shook her head and spun on her heels.
However, Zacharias grabbed her wrist and pulled her back. Losing her balance, Shirley fell back and landed right into his arms.
“Behave yourself, Zacharias,” she said in annoyance.
“You’re the one who didn’t behave yourself first.” “I didn’t-” “Didn’t you? Can you swear that you didn’t act inappropriately with me that night?” When he thought about it, he became a little mad.
“I don’t remember anything about that night.” Shirley denied his word, although some snippets were crystal clear in her mind.
“Should I help you to recover your memory?” Smirking, he stared at her cherry lips.
“No-” Need for that. Her last few words were sealed by the man’s lips. She wanted to push him away, but he stopped her and held her hands above her head, pinning them against the wall next to them.
With his tall and well-built body pressed against her, she couldn’t seem to fight him off, even with her excellent combat skills.
This scene stunned Jesslyn, who was in the foyer, and she covered her mouth with her hands because she was scared to make a sound out of shock. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she felt stuffy in her chest and breathless.
In her heart, Zacharias was as honorable as a god, but he actually initiated a kiss with this female bodyguard. In addition, she could tell that the female bodyguard was highly unwilling.
In her mind, she didn’t remember Zacharias ever being this flirtatious with any woman. He had always been a person of abstinence, and it seemed like no woman was deserving of his initiative and worth. But now, this woman had appeared, and she was by his side.
