Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 2582

Shirley felt a tremor in her chest. Did Imogen truly harbor such intense feelings for Zacharias? To the point of disregarding her own life? Shirley couldn’t be certain, but she was convinced that nothing would ever happen between Imogen and him. While she couldn’t guarantee it, for now, it seemed unlikely that the man would reciprocate Imogen’s feelings.

‘Imogen, you’re still young, and you have a long road ahead. Just do what you should do and cherish your life.’ ‘Shirley, I mean it. I’m willing to give everything for Mr. Flintstone, Imogen replied.

Shirley felt that Imogen’s liking for Zacharias might be a bit excessive. How could she utter such irrational statements?

‘Imogen, it’s very late. Get some rest, Shirley advised. Imogen responded, ‘Okay. You should rest early, too. After sending this message, a cunning smile played on her lips. She aimed to instill a sense of guilt in Shirley, even if Shirley harbored feelings for Zacharias.

The next morning, Shirley received a call from Ava.

“Hey, Grandma!” “Shirley, come over to accompany me this Saturday at noon. I want to go out and have lunch with friends, and I want you to come with me.” “Sure, Grandma. Got it,” Shirley replied.

“Also, dress up a bit. Women should groom themselves. Don’t wear that uniform all the time. You look like an insurance salesperson.” Shirley couldn’t help but chuckle. “Grandma, this is a legitimate security uniform!” “In any case, you’re not allowed to wear it this Saturday, okay?” “Alright, I got it. I’ll make sure to dress up nicely to see you.” Shirley laughed.

After she ended the call, Zacharias was about to go out again. Shirley immediately followed him, announcing, “I’ll go out with you!” He shook his head. “No need. I’m going to a meeting, you’ll be bored.” As long as it wasn’t for entertainment, he didn’t want to take her out. Waiting outside for hours would be painful for her. It was better to leave her at home, enjoying all the good food she wanted in a cozy environment.

Shirley suddenly felt a bit aggrieved. “Do you not trust my abilities at work?” “It’s not that.” Zacharias denied it and explained, “When you’re around, my focus at work tends to waver.” She was puzzled by his words and asked, “Why?” “Because I’ll be too busy thinking about you and neglect my work,” Zacharias confessed.
