Chapter 2593
Night of Destiny
They arrived in Flor 18 hours later. Shirley stood beside Zacharias, and they were given a warm
welcome. Roy and six of his men stayed around Zacharias closely, watching the surroundings. They
were led to the Royal Hotel, a place where VIPs stayed. Zacharias had a suite, and Shirley was waiting
for Freddie to give her the card for the room. A while later, Freddie gave her the card, and he said,
âMiss Lloyd, this is the key to your and Mr. Flintstoneâs room. Keep it close.â Shirleyâs eyes went wide.
âWhat? Mr. Flintstone and I are sharing a room?â âYes. It is his request.â Freddie smiled. Shirley looked
at him and nodded awkwardly. âI see. Shirley pushed her luggage into Zachariasâ room. When she
came in, Zacharias was on the couch, making a call. He then pointed at a guest room, telling Shirley
that that was her room.
Shirley took her luggage into the room. Since they would be staying for a week or longer, she opened
up her luggage and unpacked it, and then she hung the clothes.
When she was done unpacking her luggage, she saw Zachariasâ luggage still in the living quarters, so
she took them into her room and was going to sort it out for him.
Zacharias was done making his call, and he came into the room. âYouâre going to sort it out for me?â
âYes. Open these up, please. I donât have the passcode,â said Shirley.
Zacharias crouched down and opened up the suitcases. There were clothes and necessities inside.
Shirley thought he was good at packing his things, unlike most guys who would only stuff their
belongings without a care in the world. She took his clothes out and hung them.
Zacharias pointed at one of the underpants. âYou gave me these.â Shirley looked at the underpants. âI
gave you a necktie. This was from the retail assistant.â âBut to me, itâs from you anyway,â argued
Zacharias.
Shirley didnât argue back. She then noticed the necktie he was wearing. She bought that for him, too.
Shirley stared at it for a few moments. Oh, itâs not bad. I have a good eye for things like that.
Zacharias looked down and held up the necktie, and then he kissed it. âYour presents are pretty. You
know how to pick stuff.â That wasnât him talking about the necktie. He was just praising Shirley in a
roundabout way. Shirley went back to sorting out the clothes for him. She would be living in this suite
with Zacharias for a week at least. For some reason, she was slightly looking forward to it.
Zacharias said, âI have a ball to attend tonight. Can you come with me?â Shirley blinked. âMe?â âI donât
see any other girls here,â said Zacharias, amused. There are perks to taking her along with me âDo I
need to dance?â asked Shirley, nervous.
âMaybe, but itâs fine if you donât want to,â said Zacharias. He would respect her decision. Shirley quickly
said, âBut I didnât bring any dresses with me.â âIâll deal with that. Just get ready for the ball tonight.â
Zacharias chuckled. He looked forward to the ball.
It didnât take long for Imogen to find out that Shirley was staying in the same room as Zacharias. That
confirmed her guess that Shirley was hooking up with Zacharias behind her. Oh, sheâs up to schemes
too? Acts like she doesnât like him when Iâm around, only for that to be a ploy, so Iâd lower my guard?
Imogen already had self-esteem issues because of her family background. She was a perpetual cynic
who couldnât see the good in anything. Imogen stood before the floor-to- ceiling window, a sneer curling
her lips. Why do you get to live the best life while I have to stay as a bottom feeder? If I can marry
Zacharias, I can be on the top echelon of this nation. This is my only chance, and youâre stealing it from
me.
Just then, Imogenâs other phone rang. She picked it up and smirked. âHi,â she said in Chinese.
