Shirley frowned. He wanted her to accompany him outside? Wasn’t she supposed to stay and serve him in his
residence?
Why would she need to accompany him. outside? She couldn’t help but feel nervous. Could it be that she had to
accompany him to meet some political figures? What if she encountered her great-uncle? Wouldn’t that expose
everything?
Could she not go? Shirley wondered in her heart.
However, she could only decide tomorrow morning. As she lay in bed, she couldn’t fall asleep. Her mind was filled
with the sparring session with Zacharias tonight. Every move she made seemed flawless, but this man effortlessly
blocked them. It was evident that his strength and speed far surpassed hers.
The terrifying power of this man lay in the fact that, in his usual demeanor, it was impossible. to tell that he was
exceptionally strong in martial arts. He appeared to be a cultured politician. It was like he was an iceberg-

there was even more terrifying strength below the sea.
Shirley forced herself to fall asleep. Early in the morning, she received a command on her phone. ‘Assemble
outside the mansion at 8.00AM She arrived five minutes early and asked the captain, “Captain, where are we
going?”
“Mr. Flintstone is meeting a foreign guest today. Your task is to pretend to be his female assistant and protect him.”
She breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he was only meeting a foreign guest, which should be relatively safe for
her identity.
Just then, Zacharias came out. He was dressed in a classic black and white suit. He exuded a mature and imposing
aura. She coincidentally met his gaze, causing her heart to skip a beat. She was just an intern replacing someone
else, after all, so she felt a bit uneasy. Zacharias’ gaze seemed too sharp, and she decided to avoid direct eye
contact with him in the future..
Shirley was about to open the back door of a car to get in when the captain called her, “Imogen, you and Mr.
Flintstone will ride together.”
Shirley was surprised as she thought, My status isn’t that noble; how can I ride in the same car as Zacharias?
Nevertheless, she went to open the front passenger seat of the car Zacharias was in.
As she pulled it open, she realized there was already another bodyguard seated inside. So, she had to sit in the
back seat.
Shirley had just been thinking about how far she could stay away from this man, but fate seemed to want them
close.
She opened the back door and saw that only Zacharias was inside and he was focused on reading documents. He
wore a gray vest with the shirt sleeves rolled up, revealing his muscular arms and the prestigious watch on his
wrist.
She hesitated but eventually sat beside him. The cup holder was pulled down and he had placed a teacup there.

to start.
Shirley lacked experience as she was working as a bodyguard for the first time. In the car, she couldn’t help but
look out of the window and observe the scenery.
She didn’t notice the man beside her casting her a meaningful glance. There was a faint smile tinged with a hint of
playfulness playing on his lips.
The convoy smoothly reached a governmental residence as it was guided by precise traffic control. After the car
came to a stop, the captain and the other bodyguards formed at secure perimeter before shielding Zacharias as he

Shirley didn’t faze at all when facing such a solemn environment. She had grown up in such surroundings. With an
air of grace and composure, she looked confident and elegant in her suit and trousers. Her hair was tied in a
ponytail. She presented a neat and agile appearance.
At this moment, a subordinate handed a purse to Shirley and whispered, “You should know what’s inside, right?”
Shirley nodded. “I know.”
“You’re the only one who can accompany Mr. Flintstone to have the conversation. If something unexpected
happens, prioritize his safety above all else. Understand?”
