Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 2548

Since it’s hopeless for me to marry a man like Zacharias in this life, I can only hope for the better in my next life, Jesslyn thought.

Soon, Freddie came over with a document and a gift. Shirley opened the door for him, and he exclaimed in pleasant surprise, “Oh, you’re here too, Miss Lloyd?” Seeing that he was struggling a little with the stuff, Shirley offered, “May I help you with that?” “Thank you. This is a present for Mr. Flintstone, and it’s very precious.” Hastily, Shirley retrieved the package from him, asking, “Who’s the sender?” “An ally. Don’t you know that it’s Mr. Flintstone’s birthday today? He only picked one gift to have it sent over.” Stunned, Shirley thought, What? It’s his birthday today? With the birthday present in her hands, she went upstairs with Freddie and into the study.

Zacharias was working, and when he saw them coming in together, as well as the gift box in Shirley’s hands, a smile spread across his face.

“Your Excellency, this is the present you wanted me to bring over,” Freddie said and took out another small gift box from his document bag. “This is my present for you. Happy birthday.” Zacharias nodded at him. “Thank you.” “You’re welcome, but it’s just a pen,” Freddie revealed. “I’m taking my leave first.” He knew that now wasn’t the best time to hang around here. The reason Mr.

Flintstone purposely had me bring the gift over must be that he plans to give Miss Lloyd the present.

After placing down the present, Shirley wanted to leave as well, but the man stopped her in her tracks. “I have something for you to do.” Taken aback, she spun around and asked, “What is it?” “Order a cake for me,” he instructed.

“Okay.” Shirley nodded, pushed the door open, and went out. As Zacharias watched the woman leave the room, his eyes glimmered with anticipation. Will I receive a present from her tonight?

In the meantime, Shirley headed for the car in the parkway after leaving the building. While starting the engine, she contemplated, It’s his birthday today. As his subordinate, I shouldn’t return empty-handed.

She arrived in the city center, where a famous cake shop was situated. After placing the order for the cake, she had to wait another couple of hours before she could pick it up.
