Chapter 2318: Chapter 2318

Shirley belonged here, while Cole did not. As soon as she heard the notification sound, she grabbed her phone to check. After seeing the message about his transfer request, she felt an immediate sense of urgency. She dialed his number directly.

Cole, who was holding his phone and suppressing his inner reluctance, heard the phone ring. He looked at the call from Shirley and ultimately hung up.

She kept calling him repeatedly, but he didn’t answer her calls. She was truly anxious as she felt like her budding relationship with him was about to end.

Zacharias descended from the second floor and did not see her. He looked at Tony, who was still watching a movie, and asked, “Where is she?”

Tony pointed in the direction outside the door and said, “She’s been outside for a while, and she’s not afraid of the cold.”

Zacharias furrowed his brows and quickly walked to the door. At that moment, she was turning to open the door, and they collided. The sudden hug took him aback. However, she took a step back, and he noticed tears on her face. He was surprised. “What happened?”

“Could you lend me a car? I need to go somewhere urgently.” Shirley requested.

“Where to?” Zacharias gazed at her intently.

“To find someone,” she replied and looked at the Ferrari outside. She said to Tony, “Mr. Tony, can you lend me your car for a while?”

“Where to? I’ll go with you,” Tony said enthusiastically. “Don’t lend it to her,” Zacharias ordered his nephew. He feared that she might get into trouble as her emotions seemed unstable.

Shirley wiped her eyes, and as her emotions surged again, she began to cry. “Mr. Tony, please take me to a place. Thank you,” she implored.

Tony was stuck between Zacharias’ stern expression and Shirley’s plea. “All right. I’ll take you,” he said bravely and grabbed the car keys. “Let’s go!”

Zacharias reminded him, “Drive safely.”

After they left, Zacharias opened the door and observed her swift entry into the car. A sense of foreboding began to creep over him. What could be causing her anxiety? It must be Cole. Has something happened to him?

Meanwhile, Shirley and Tony embarked on their journey to the White House. When he learned of the destination, a shiver ran down his spine. “Goddess, why are we heading there? I wouldn’t dare to drive inside. If they catch me, Uncle Zacharias will have to bail me out.”

“Just park near the guard post over there,” she instructed. “Goddess, why are you going to the White House? I’d be trembling if someone invited me there,” he said. Shirley remained silent, her focus fixed on the passing time as she urged, “Hurry up.”

“We’re already moving quite fast. Any quicker, and we might just take off.”

After reaching the White House, Tony parked the car and flatly refused to drive any further.

She had no choice but to open the door and rush into the snowy mist. Watching her, he sighed. She truly is a goddess. She just casually strolled into the White House. If only I could marry someone like her, that would be great.

She showed her ID at the guard post and received a call from the White House office, enabling her to gain entry. With determination, she proceeded to the bodyguards’ dormitory and inquired about Cole’s room, making her way there directly.

At this moment, Tony’s phone rang. He quickly picked up, noticing it was Zacharias calling. “Hello, Uncle Zacharias.”

“Where are you guys?”

“Goddess asked me to come to the White House. She’s inside now, and I don’t know who she’s looking for.”

“How has her mood been on the way?”

Tony recalled his observations during the journey and candidly stated, “She seems like she just went through a breakup.”

After hearing this, Zacharias immediately figured out the situation. It wasn’t that something had happened to Cole, but rather, Cole had made a certain decision.
