Lyra’s surprise was evident. After catching Zacharias’ last name, Carlisle fixed his gaze on the man, his mind racing. Wait a minute! That sounds familiar! Where have I heard it?
“Please scoot over a bit,” Zacharias said to Carlisle. After Carlisle quickly moved over, Zacharias promptly took Shirley’s seat. Upon entering, she noticed Zacharias seated and urged, “Hurry back!”
“I will after I finish the meal,” Zacharias replied, moving her cutlery to his side as he used Shirley’s fork and teacup.
“Shirley, what’s going on? You have a boyfriend?” Ava was somewhat confused. Her granddaughter hadn’t mentioned anything to her!
Meanwhile, Carlisle’s eyes were fixed on Zacharias. At this moment, Zacharias removed his mask, revealing his face. Carlisle stared at him in shock. “Are you… the Vice President, Mr. Zacharias Flintstone?”
This question surprised the two elderly ladies on the other side. While their interest in politics was limited, it was evident from Carlisle’s expression that the young man in front of them was, indeed, Zacharias.
“Please, not so loud.” Zacharias smiled.
Shirley pulled a chair and sat down, unwrapping a new set of cutleries. Since Zacharias wanted to have a meal here, she might as well eat with him and accompany him back later.
“Hello, Mr. Flintstone. I-It’s an honor to meet you,” Carlisle stammered in excitement.
“Hello.” Zacharias nodded and then turned to the two elderly ladies who were scrutinizing him. “Hello, madams.”Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates…
“Cheri works for you, doesn’t she?” Ava exclaimed in surprise. She never expected her granddaughter to be in a relationship with him.
Despite Lyra’s confusion, it was evident that her grandson’s blind date had not gone well. She acknowledged that Shirley had discovered a more remarkable and attractive partner.
“You’ve been dating for two months, Cheri. Why didn’t you tell me?” Ava reproached her granddaughter. She wouldn’t have arranged this lunch if she had known earlier. She would have spared the Dawson Family the embarrassment.
“Grandma, we… we haven’t officially started dating.”
“They’ve just slept together,” Tony quipped. Shirley was so close to covering his mouth with her hand. Blushing, she complained, “Tony Flintstone, please shut up.”
Zacharias chuckled. “Grandma, due to my position, Shirley hasn’t made this public yet.”
Ava immediately understood what he meant. “Oh! I see! It makes sense. After all, your focus is on work right now. No hurry. You can take your time.” As she spoke, she couldn’t stop smiling
Lyra was also happy for her. Although Carlisle liked Shirley at first sight, he didn’t dare to express it now. Moreover, the more he looked, the more he felt that Shirley and Zacharias were a better match.
