Chapter 2614

Imogen hung up, but she couldn’t relax. Shirley didn’t tell her what the kidnappers said to her. She had

to find out the answer before she could truly be at ease. After the call ended, Shirley’s eyes twinkled

with doubt. Then, she called Roy.

“Hello, Miss Lloyd.” Roy never called her by her first name. She was an important figure, after all.

“Can I make a request, captain? Do you have any footage regarding the kidnapping?”

“If you need it, Miss Lloyd, I can ask the cops to provide the footage.”

“Thank you. I really need them. Send it to my email, please!” Shirley thanked him, hung up the phone,

and sat down in silence. Soon, someone knocked on the door. She opened it up to see Zacharias and

a table of sumptuous dinner waiting for her.

“Come, let’s eat,” said Zacharias gently.

Shirley looked at him, glad she escaped fast enough. If she’d died in that crossfire, she would never be

able to see him again. The thought that Zacharias might marry another woman and fall in love with her

made Shirley appreciate her life more. She wanted to stay alive to be with him for eternity. An urge

filled her heart. When Zacharias turned around, she darted ahead and wrapped her arms around his

waist, resting her head against his back.

Zacharias was stunned. He could feel the love Shirley had for him, and he held her hand before turning

around to face her. The passion in Shirley’s eyes was unwavering. She said, “Let’s date once we get

back, Zacharias.”

Zacharias’ eyes went wide, delight filling his gaze. “What’d you say?”

“Let’s date, I said. What? Are you chickening out?” Shirley challenged Zacharias, looking at him.

Zacharias held the back of her head and pulled her into his embrace. “I’d love to tell the world we’re

going out.”

Shirley buried her head in his chest, smiling. This means he’s mine now. “Okay. Once we get back, I’ll

tell my folks we’re dating.” Shirley was a little sheepish and nervous. She wondered if her parents

would be shocked if they heard the news. Their daughter was courting the vice president himself, and

she actually did it.

“Okay.” Zacharias kissed Shirley’s hair.

Shirley had dinner with Zacharias. Halfway through, her phone rang. She checked it out and realized

she had a new email. Shirley wanted to investigate things later that night. If she wanted to clear her

doubts, she had to go through the whole case again, but she didn’t want to tell anyone before she had

the answers-not even Zacharias.

After dinner, Zacharias had a virtual meeting with the people back at home. Shirley left him in the

lounge and went to her room. Quickly, she turned on her laptop and opened her email. The cops had

sent her more than twenty videos. She played the first one.

In the clip, she and Imogen were strolling on the streets, unaware of the coming danger. Shirley didn’t

even speed up the clip. She sat on her bed, the silence keeping her mind sharp. She stared at herself

in the video, but she was mostly looking at Imogen.

After she saw herself going into the gift shop, she noticed that Imogen was sitting outside, sipping on

the coffee they had bought earlier. It was then Imogen took out her phone and checked something.

Shirley put on her earphones, trying to see if she could hear anything. It was a message notification

from Imogen’s phone.

Is she reading the news, or did someone text her?

She turned up the volume to the fullest and realized it was a text notification. From Imogen’s actions,

she was obviously going through her messages. After she was done reading them, Imogen looked at

the coffee she was holding, musing about something.
