Chapter 2557
Night of Destiny
At that same time, Imogen was looking out into the training field from her dorm.
She watched as Zacharias and Shirley chatted side by side. Despite the distance, she could see that
he was in a good mood and that he had endless things to talk to Shirley about.
What are they talking about? Imogen was curious because she would be too nervous to speak if she
was standing beside Zacharias. However, Shirley could chat so well with him, which made her envious.
Even so, that seemingly nobleman was actually openly teasing Shirley, who didnât want to chat at all.
âWe should head back,â Shirley told Zacharias. He glanced at his wristwatch.
âOkay. Letâs go get breakfast.â As they left the field, Imogen turned around to enter her room. At that
moment, Roy came over and ordered, âImogen, get ready. We have a mission today.
Imogen was secretly surprised yet replied calmly, âUnderstood,â When Zacharias was eating breakfast,
Freddie came over and gave a detailed list of the dayâs itinerary. Shirley also sneaked a look and saw
the page was packed with words. Seems like hell be super busy today.
âMr. Flintstone, we wanted to cancel the interview this afternoon, but with the current circumstances,
you would need to give a five- minute speech on stage.â Shirley immediately questioned him, âHow
could you let him appear in public?
We just had a dangerous incident.â Zacharias looked at her, who was concerned about him. âYou stay
in the house today. You donât need to come with me.â However, she insisted on it despite being
opposed to going out just a few seconds ago. âNo. Iâll come with you.â Even Zacharias was serious as
he commented, âYou donât need to.â At that, Shirley firmly stated, âI can be your assistant and stand
beside you on stage.â On the side, Freddie was also observing their expressions and realized
something. It seems Mr. Flintstone hasnât been idle despite being injured!
âThis is an order.â Zacharias then told Freddie, âGet the car ready. Iâll be out in a moment.â And so,
Freddie didnât dare watch their exchange anymore and left the room to make the necessary
arrangements. Zacharias put his spoon down and stared calmly at Shirley. âListen to me. Wait for me at
home.â âIâm your bodyguard. Itâs my responsibility to protect you,â Shirley told him earnestly. This man
just got injured. He canât be in danger again.
âDo you think Roy and the rest are just for show? Their presence is enough.â Then, Zacharias got up to
go to his clothes rack. Shirley followed him and grabbed her jacket as well. In the end, he sighed. âFine.
You can go, but you canât come up on stage with me.â And so, Shirley compromised as well since he
agreed for her to follow him.
âSure. Iâll watch you from below the stage.â âAre you that worried about me?â he asked in a low tone
behind her.
Shirleyâs hand that was about to pull the door open froze for a moment, and she didnât answer him
before walking out. Then, she vaguely heard his laughter behind her as a gust of cold wind blew past
her, yet her face felt hot. She didnât want to admit that she was doing this because she was worried
about him. She wanted to think that this was what a bodyguard should do.
Zachariasâ car stopped before them, and Freddie opened the passenger seat for Zacharias to enter
with Shirley.
At the same time, Imogen had changed into a suit and sat in the other car that was on standby outside.
It was her first time out on a mission, so she was nervous yet eager. Roy told her that she could stand
beside Zacharias on stage as his assistant. And she was excited at the thought of being able to get
close to him.
Zachariasâ car drove out of the driveway, and Imogen had her eyes locked on his car throughout the
journey until they arrived at his office. Then, she got out of the car and waited by the side for him to get
down as well.
However, her eyes narrowed when she saw that Shirley was the first one to get out of the car. Shirley is
here too?
Shirley looked back and saw Imogen, thereafter nodding her head in greeting.
Imogen immediately smiled and nodded as well, hiding any emotions deep inside her.
