Chapter 2630

“I’ll be staying at my place tonight, then. I probably can’t go back to your place for a few days,” Shirley

said. With her parents around, she couldn’t stay overnight at someone else’s place.

“It’s alright. Spend some time with your family.” Zacharias chuckled. “I can hold it in.”

Shirley chuckled, too. “What if I can’t hold it in?”

“Then you come to me anytime you want,” Zacharias responded in a husky voice.

Shirley blushed. It’s getting worse. Can we even do it if I go at random times? She then imagined how

she would flirt with the serious Zacharias, and she thought she was getting a little pervy.

After the call, Shirley went out with her parents to get some Christmas stuff. Moreover, they had to visit

their relatives. Three days went by, and not once did Shirley get to see Zacharias. She couldn’t even

call him at night, worried that he might be seeing guests.

She would love to video call him at eleven, but it was too late, and she didn’t want to disturb him. He

would be having an early day the next day. Eventually, Shirley’s longing was getting too heavy to bear.

The same went for Zacharias. Every day, when he came back home from work, it was already late at

night. He missed Shirley dearly, but he didn’t want to wake her up, so he held his longing back.

Unbeknownst to him, Shirley would also be in her bed thinking about him.

Ugh, it’s so hard just to see him now that I’m not at his place. She started missing the days at his

residence. She could see him any time she wanted to.

Time passed, and it was now two days before Christmas. It had been five days since Shirley saw

Zacharias. She texted him, ‘You busy? Can we meet up for just ten minutes?’

Zacharias called her. Shirley’s heart raced, and she took the call. “Hello?”

“Come to my office. I’ve spared twenty minutes to see you,” said Zacharias. His time was valuable-his

itinerary was even scheduled to minutes.

Shirley quickly said, “I’m going right now.” She hung up, picked up her bag, and trotted to the porch just

to backtrack and check her outfit in the mirror. She then got a new outfit and changed into it. Only then

did she leave. No one but lovers who were madly in love could understand the delight someone could

have when they were on a trip to see their beloved.

Even the air was sweet despite how chilly it was. The scenery was gorgeous, and Shirley smiled. After

going through a series of checks, she finally stood before Zacharias’ building where he worked. The

people going around were staff members or those who had important business to settle. She was the

only one here to see a guy.

Freddie was waiting for the escalator. When he saw her coming out, he said, “Ah, Miss Lloyd, you’re

here.”

“Hey, Mr. Hurst, is the vice president…”

“He’s waiting for you in his office.” Freddie smiled.

Shirley went around Freddie, her cheeks burning. Freddie knows why I’m here, but why am I

embarrassed? I’m just here to see Zacharias. Eventually, Shirley was standing in front of the office. For

some reason, she was breathing heavily, and as her heart raced, she knocked on the door.

Someone opened the door from inside. Zacharias had taken his suit off, leaving a white shirt on. He

looked and felt professional, and he radiated a regal air that many leaders had.

Shirley could never hold back when something so delightful was standing before her. She acted natural

when she came in, but right after she stepped into his office, she pounced on Zacharias. Zacharias

held her tightly and closed the door, and then he bolted it.

Shirley raised her head. Zacharias pinned her against the wall beside the door. He held her chin,

leaning down for a powerful kiss.

Electric currents swam through Shirley’s body, and she tensed up. We’re in his office! His sacred office!
