Chapter 2487
Night of Destiny
What was going on? She liked Cole. If she kissed Cole, it was normal for her to feel something. Why did
she feel something too when Zacharias kissed her?
Shirley shook off these thoughts. In any case, this was not right..
After extinguishing the fire in the fireplace, she blew out the candles and went upstairs. The light on the
second floor was dim, and she thought Zacharias had gone to sleep in his room, but he was still sitting
there. Moreover, it was cold at night, and he was only wearing a vest, without a coat..
Shirley went downstairs responsibly, picked up his coat from the couch, and handed it to him. âItâs cold at
night. Put on the coat!â
Zacharias took the coat from her, and he apologized again. âIâm sorry for what happened just now.â
âDonât drink so much next time.â She reminded him. She still treated that kiss as a mistake made under
the influence of alcohol.
She turned to go in the direction of the guest room, but just after a few steps, the man behind her
suddenly asked, âWas that your first kiss just now?â
Shirleyâs steps paused, and she instinctively refuted, âOf course not.â If this man found out that it was her
first kiss, would he be very pleased? She was a girl who didnât want to be underestimated, so even in
matters of love, she had a bit of a strong-willed attitude.
Zacharia fixed his gaze on her. Her awkwardness and reactions just now told him that it was indeed her
first kiss.
âGet some rest,â he said. Upon seeing that he stopped asking, Shirley didnât know why, but she felt
frustrated.
âI really like my boyfriend. Mr. Flintstone, please be more restrained in the future.â Her cold gaze turned
to the man on the couch.
âMiss Lloyd, I also quite like you.â Zacharias raised an eyebrow, and the spotlight above his head was
reflected in his eyes. They were straightforward and candid.
Just as Shirley had just sorted out her emotions, they were now in disarray again. She swallowed before
saying, âThank you for liking me, but my heart already belongs to someone else. Please like someone
else to avoid wasting your feelings!â
After saying this, she walked quickly toward her bedroom, closed the door, and clutched her rapidly
beating heart. The image of Zachariasâ face was still in her mind.
She took off her coat, changed into the pajama hat she had brought, lay down in bed, and decided to
sleep. If she slept, she wouldnât overthink..
However, she couldnât sleep no matter what, especially after taking a nap in the afternoon and drinking
coffee. Every time she closed her eyes, the scene of Zacharias forcefully kissing her on the table would
appear in her mind.
It felt like his tongue, with the scent of alcohol, was still exploring her mouth. The feeling of being
forcefully held in his arms made her suddenly feel thirsty.
Ten minutes later, Shirley re-emerged from under her covers speechlessly and opened her eyes while
looking at the light on the ceiling. She didnât know how to forget that kiss just now.
She replayed it over and over in her mind. It felt like Zacharias had kissed her repeatedly. This feeling
was truly annoying, and she didnât know what to do.
If it werenât raining outside, she could go for a run on the mountain. After enduring for half an hour, she
was really thirsty.
She wanted to go downstairs for some water.
She gently pushed open the door and found that Zacharias was actually sleeping on the couch. He was
covered with his trench coat as he lay on the couch.
This was the mountains, and the temperature in the room was below 50 degrees. Wasnât this man afraid
of catching a cold or getting sick?
Upon thinking of his noble identity and her being his personal assistant, it would be inappropriate if she
didnât take care of him. Shirley walked over. She wanted to wake him up and ask him to go back to his
room to sleep.
âMr. Flintstone,â Shirley called him softly. Zacharias didnât wake up, so she had to take action. She
reached out and patted his shoulder. âMr. Flintstone, wake up. Go back to your room and sleep!â
He only opened his eyes then. His dark pupils were covered with a glow as though the galaxy suddenly
descended into his eyes. They were very charming.
Shirley looked at him and said, âItâs cold in the living room. Go back to your room and sleep.â
