Chapter 2467: Shirley's Punishment
Night of Destiny
-âI can decide not to dismiss you, but you must be punished,â Zacharias said coldly. Upon hearing that,
Shirley thought she
was willing to do anything as long as she wasnât expelled. âSure. Go ahead. Iâll do whatever I can,â she
replied with
gratitude and joy in her eyes.
âI will transfer Corinne away from here, but you will be solely responsible for my personal life,â
Zacharias stated. That
rendered Shirley dumbfounded for a moment. Is this my punishment? Taking care of his personal life?
âSure, but I donât know how to cook,â she reported honestly.
âThen, learn it.â The man believed she could pick it up. The only thing Shirley lacked talent in was
cooking, but she could
learn for the sake of Imogenâs future.
âSure, Iâll learn,â Shirley promised. Since she currently had something to request of him, she could not
reject him.
âGreat. Thatâs it, then. Come with me.â Zacharias got up and went out of the door first. In the meantime,
Shirley released a
heavy breath from behind him as her tensed nerves relaxed. She didnât have to worry about getting
dismissed anymore.
Corinne, who was standing outside, immediately looked over when she saw them coming out, thinking
whether Zacharias
would approach her and comfort her.
Yet, Zacharias only stood beside the car and said a few words with Roy before getting into the car.
Then, Shirley followed
suit and got in as well.
Corinne watched in disbelief as Shirley and Zacharias got into the same car. After watching the convoy
leave, she
immediately went looking for Roy. âCaptain Barlowe, whatâs going on? Shouldnât Imogen be fired?â
âFrom now on, Imogen will be solely responsible for taking care of Mr. Flintstoneâs personal life, so you
wonât be needed
there anymore. Also, I will submit a transfer request in your name, requesting to be assigned to another
department for
your internship.â
âWhat? I refuse. I donât want to leave here. The rules are written in black and white, so Imogen should
be fired,â Corinne
demanded.
âCorinne, that is Mr. Flintstoneâs decision,â Roy firmly remarked. âCaptain Barlowe, donât you find it
strange? Why does Mr.
Flintstone treat Imogen so well and even let her move into his residence?â Corinne sneered. âDid
Imogen sleep with Mr.
Flintstone?â
Royâs expression instantly tensed up. âCorinne, refrain from making baseless accusations. Once the
transfer request is
approved, youâll be relocated from the security department.â
After taking a few steps, Roy turned around and commented, âIn the future, refrain from discussing Mr.
Flintstoneâs private
life. Donât get yourself into trouble.â
When Corinne returned to her dorm, she was on the verge of losing it. She made such a careful plan to
scheme against
Imogen, but instead of getting expelled, she replaced her and became Zachariasâ personal assistant.
How infuriating!
However, no matter how she thought about it, she couldnât figure out why Imogen would receive such
special treatment.
Moreover, Corinne was slightly afraid of what happened earlier because how Zacharias treated her
made her feel like he
had seen through her schemes. The feeling of being exposed sent shivers down her spine.
In regard to men like Zacharias, ordinary women wouldnât be able to keep him under control. At the
same time, Shirley
was also secretly pondering about that. After she calmed down, she thought about it and realized
although she had
replaced Imogen, the treatment she received seemed to be exceptionally good. Zacharias had quite a
good attitude
toward her, and most importantly, he didnât investigate anything and immediately believed her
explanation.
That was something she found hard to believe, but there was one thing that made her feel relieved she
no longer had to
face the evil Corinne anymore. Her internship was about to become easier.
Just as she was lost in thought, she suddenly discovered the manâs convoy was not heading toward
home but onto the
main road.
âMr. Flintstone, where are we going?â Shirley hurriedly asked.
âTo have dinner, the man replied calmly. Upon hearing that, Shirley recalled him saying they would be
having dinner
outside, so she had no choice but to have dinner with him.
Once the convoy arrived at a restaurant, Shirley felt her heart skip a beat. Wait. Isnât this the restaurant
Dad always brings
me to? This place doesnât serve outsiders and only accepts high-ranking officials.
