Chapter 2622

Zacharias smiled. “A couple always share a room, don’t they?” “But we’re not a real couple!” Shirley

protested quietly.

“Then we’ll become one,” replied Zacharias seriously. Quietly, Shirley requested, “Can’t you ask them

to free up two rooms for us?” Zacharias answered hoarsely, “No. They’re going to tell everyone we’re

not on great terms.” “They won’t.” “Just deal with it and share a room with me for a couple of nights.”

Zacharias wouldn’t help her.

Speechless, Shirley bit her lip. She couldn’t exactly say if she was looking forward to this, but she

wasn’t insisting on getting another room.

They had a candlelit dinner that night. There were only two of them, but they were served with more

than twenty dishes. They weren’t big enough to fill the couple, but they tasted good.

Shirley had a nice time. After dinner, she went through the art gallery and jewelry exhibit to wash her

food down. At nine, she came to the master bedroom. She saw a pink, revealing nightgown on the

hanger beside the bed and a gray pair of men’s pajamas draped beside it. Shirley stared at the

nightgown, stunned. Zacharias crossed his arms, staring at her challengingly. “I challenge you to wear

that nightgown.” *Challenge accepted. After all, I have a nice body.” Shirley would not refuse a

challenge, and she was easily riled up. Zacharias leaned down. “Wear it for me tonight.” Shirley

regretted taking on the challenge and tried to find an excuse. “It’s pretty chilly tonight, though.” “I’ll

make sure the AC is warm enough.” Zacharias made sure she couldn’t weasel her way out.

Shirley had no more excuses. She stared at the nightgown again. No woman can resist this. It’s

gorgeous. I guess I’ll just wear it for him. We’re already here anyway, and we’re sharing a room now.

There’s nothing I can’t do now.

“I have some work to do. You do whatever you want. Zacharias led her to the couch.

Shirley had nothing to do, so she watched as Zacharias took his laptop out, put it on the table, and

stared at the screen. He typed away on the keyboard, sliding on his mousepad. His hands were

beautiful. Ah, men are really hot when they work. Zacharias proves just that. Also, he has no idea how

hot he is. He never cares about his looks, but that’s why men like them are more charming.

Shirley looked at the time, deciding not to disturb him. When she picked up her phone, she noticed a

text from her mother asking if she was having fun. Shirley put her phone on silent mode and chatted

with her mother.

The clock struck ten. Zacharias was done with work, and he closed his laptop.

He then asked Shirley, “Are you using the bathroom first, or should I go first instead?” Shirley looked at

him. “Go ahead.” “I challenge you to come in with me.” Zacharias smiled.

“No.” Shirley didn’t fall for it this time. She realized she had to think every time before she answered

Zacharias.

Zacharias laughed and got up for a shower. Shirley couldn’t even pretend to watch the news. She was

distracted by the sloshing of the water in the bathroom, and she got nervous. She stared at the bed that

looked incredibly inviting. I have to share that bed with Zacharias tonight. Can I even fall asleep?

Shirley became nervous upon thinking about that.

She looked at the couch. Hey, I can sleep on the couch. If worse comes to worst, I’ll do that.

She was engrossed in her thoughts for a while, and the bathroom door creaked open. Zacharias didn’t

take his pajamas with him. He came out wearing nothing but a towel around his lower body, revealing

his muscular build for Shirley’s enjoyment.
