NovelEnglishZacharias sat at the dining table, watching his nephew hold Shirley’s hand. Immediately, he cleared his throat
and said, “Tony, cover and have your breakfast.”
At his words, Tony quickly released Shirley’s hand and refrained from making any advances. After all, she was
going to be his uncle’s future wife.
“Hurry and cover, Tony. It's a bodyguard’s duty to stand guard.” Jesslyn felt discontent too. Why is Tony
being so friendly with a bodyguard?
Tony obediently joined them for breakfast, and Jesslyn continued to plead with Zacharias, “Please, Zacharias. Just
letstay here for three days. | promise to behave.”
“No.” Zacharias was holding his coffee, but his gaze remained fixed on the straight figure at the door.
“How about just one day, then? Letstay here for the night.”
“Leave by 3.00 PM at the latest,” he replied calmly.

Frustrated, she bit her lip. Suddenly, she realized that even though Zacharias was talking to her, his gaze was
fixated in one direction. She followed his gaze and saw Shirley’s slender figure.
At once, a tinge of jealousy flared in her eyes. I've underestimated the bodyguard’s place in Zacharias’ heart.
After breakfast, Zacharias instructed the servant clearing the table, “Prepare another. breakfast.”
“Sure, Mr. Flintstone,” the servant acknowledged, well aware of who it was for.
“Accompany Jesslyn and escort her hin the afternoon, Zacharias told Tony. After that, he dialed a number to
summon his convoy, as he needed to spend the day at the office.
Seeing that he was about to leave, Shirley stepped forward and picked up his overcoat for him. Instead of
accepting it, he instructed her, “Helpput it on.”
She readily assisted him in putting on the overcoat. He then adjusted his tie, remarking. “My tie isn’t properly
done. Helpfix it.”
Shirley, experienced in helping her father with his tie, skillfully loosened and re-tied it. Meanwhile, Jesslyn
couldn't hear their conversation from the dining table. When she saw Shirley helping Zacharias get dressed and
fix his tie, she grew furious as she perceived their interactions as flirtatious.
Watching this scene from the side, Tony acted amused, for he knew of Jesslyn’s interest in his uncle.
As Zacharias’ car arrived, Shirley opened the door for him. After he got in and before driving away, he cast a
final glance in her direction.
She received his gaze with composure, her face displaying tranquility. Inside, however, her heart was far from
calm. She wasn’t naive; she knew that the look of someone in love couldn’t be hidden, especially when she was
the one who was being loved.
Zacharias harbored affection for her, but she couldn't reciprocate his feelings because she had recently ended a
brief romantic relationship with Cole. Even though it had only extended as far as holding hands, she couldn't
simply transfer her emotions to another man so quickly.
For now, she was wholeheartedly dedicated to making her three-month internship a success. As for Zacharias’

The moment Shirley returned to the living room, a shrill female voice suddenly sounded. “How dare you openly
seduce the vice president? You've got snerve.”
Shirley raised her head and frowned as she watched Jesslyn rush toward her. “Miss Kurt, please don’t make
baseless accusations.”
“Did | say something wrong? | saw you seducing him with my own eyes. If you dare do it again, I'll expose this
matter, and you will lose your job as a bodyguard,” Jesslyn huffed.
At this moment, Tony, who was present throughout, stared at them with widened eyes. He knew Shirley's place
in Zacharias’ heart well, so he tried to intervene. “Drop it, Jesslyn. She was just doing her job.”
“Don’t try to persuade me, Tony. You live here; don’t you know what she’s up to? A mere bodyguard like you
dares to seduce Zacharias?” Jesslyn mocked.
Tony glanced at Shirley, then turned his gaze back to Jesslyn, letting out a sigh. “Jesslyn, you don’t know the
whole story, so don’t blher.” It's Uncle Zacharias who has developed feelings for her. What does it have to
do with my goddess? She hasn’t done anything.
