Inside Imogenâs room, she noticed that Imogen had bandages on her back and was wearing loose clothing, but her complexion was quite good.
âMr. Flintstone wasnât shocked, was he?â Imogen asked.
âHeâs fine. He even asked me to convey his regards to you,â Shirley replied. Imogenâs eyes lit up instantly, and she asked somewhat abashedly, âReally? Is he really concerned about me? Does he remember me?â
Shirley nodded. âYou blocked that attack for him. Of course, he remembers you.â
Imogen pursed her lips as a smile graced her face. âI didnât block that attack for nothing, then. What matters is that Mr. Flintstone remembers me.â
As Shirley observed Imogenâs happiness, she inexplicably felt a pang in her heart. Does Imogen like Zacharias that much?
Imogen keenly noticed Shirleyâs momentary distraction and decided to appear even more happy. âI hope Iâll have another chance at protecting Mr. Flintstone.â
âWell, I hope there wonât be a next time for such danger, for both you and him. None of you should get hurt,â Shirley replied. Imogen smiled and said, âYouâre right.â
Imogen looked at Shirley enviously and commented, âShirley, I really envy you! You can be with Mr.
Flintstone all the time, accompanying and admiring him.â
âBeing by his side isnât as easy as it seems; it comes with a lot of pressure,â Shirley argued.
âWhat are you afraid of? I see that Mr. Flintstone treats you very well! Besides, due to your status, he must treat you differently, right?â Imogen remarked with a smile.
Shirley smiled back and said, âWell, I hope these three months pass by quickly. I donât like being confined to one place; I prefer the feeling of freedom.â
âShirley, you donât actually have to do an internship. Youâll still have a great future ahead either way. Itâs me who needs to gain experience through internships to pave the way for my future,â Imogen openly expressed her envy and longing.
âWell, you keep up the good work. You will definitely graduate successfully,â Shirley encouraged.
Imogen nodded and said, âLetâs both work hard together.â
Shirley glanced at the time and realized that she had spent half an hour here. Then again, Zacharias didnât urge her to return, so she decided to stay.
âAre you in a hurry to go back?â Imogen asked. Shirley shook her head and replied, âNo. Iâll take a little break here.â
Imogen nodded. âAlright.â
After having breakfast, Tony didnât see Shirley and curiously asked Zacharias, who was sitting there reading the news, âHave you seen my goddess, uncle?â
âShe went out.â
âYou have to be more enthusiastic in pursuing her, Uncle! Donât tell me you donât know how to win a womanâs heart.â Tony immediately leaned over. He believed that with Zachariasâ status, appearance, and charm, winning a girlâs heart should be a piece of cake. From what he saw, Zacharias still hadnât managed to make Shirley his girlfriend.
âDo you know, then?â Zacharias turned to him.
âOf course I do! Iâm a veteran. Iâve had my fair share of girlfriends. If not ten, at least eight,â Tony exaggerated, though in reality, he had only ever pursued an older woman but ended up being dumped.
Zacharias immediately warned, âMind you, donât fool around.â
At that, Tony grinned and suggested, âWould you like some pointers, Uncle?â
âSure, Iâll hear you out.â
âFirst, girls love little surprises like being given flowers for no apparent reason or something nice like jewelry or lipstick. Second, girls love to be praised and pampered. You must compliment her often, such as her hair, eyes, figure, and so on.â
Zacharias nodded. âGo on.â
âThen, make time for her. Go out and spend some quality time, just the two of you.â
âGo out?â Zacharias frowned.
âRight.â Tony chuckled. âI forgot you canât just go anywhere, given your status. However, you can reserve the entire venue! Say⦠Golf! Yes, if she doesnât know how to play, you can hold her from behind and teach her. Bada bing, bada boom, youâll secure yourself a girlfriend after a couple more dates!â
âWhatâs next?â Zacharias thought Tonyâs advice sounded rather legitimate.
âNext, take her to the movies and enjoy good food! You can watch movies at home, and if you cook for her personally, I think she would be very touched.â
