After all, only both of them were in the room. Even though she was resolute and didn't have any inappropriate
thoughts about him, if it were someone else, like a girl who had long admired him, such as Corinne, the situation
just now might have taken a different and more passionate turn! Wasn't this man afraid of damaging his
reputation?
Yet, Shirley hadn't thought about one thing-not every girl was given that kind of treatment, as she was the first girl
Zacharias allowed to be close to him. Early the next morning, she went downstairs to make breakfast for him. She
opened the refrigerator and found everything she needed. In the end, she
picked two corn cobs, cut them, and boiled four eggs.
She also warmed a pot of milk while waiting for him to come downstairs. Around 8.00AM, Zacharias came down in
a classic black suit. When he sat at the dining table and saw the breakfast Shirley brought him, his pupils visibly

"Is this my breakfast?" he asked. Shirley nodded. 'Yes. Just make do with it for now. I'm still learning how to cook."
He picked up an egg and cracked the shell while she handed him a cup of milk. "I have recipes upstairs; go find
them yourself. If you want any ingredients, have Roy bring them in."
Shirley nodded. "Okay! I'll definitely learn well."
After he finished his portion and left, she sat down to have her breakfast. Time passed quickly, and it was already
noon. Zacharias had lunch outside and would return for dinner. All day, Shirley watched cooking videos while
studying more earnestly than when she was in school.
She even made a weekly meal plan and listed the menu for each day. Tonight, she would cook dishes based on
what was available in the refrigerator.
Due to the early winter season, the days were short in the evening, and darkness fell around 5.30PM. She saw a
beam of car lights approaching and immediately opened the door to greet them. Roy opened the car door, and
Zacharias stepped out with long legs. He looked visibly fatigued.
"Imogen, Mr. Flintstone is tired today: take good care of him," Roy instructed before leaving.
Shirley followed Zacharias inside, and the warm room prompted him to take off his suit jacket. She took it from him
and then went to prepare a cup of tea, which she placed on the coffee table in front of the couch.
Although it was chilly outside, the indoor atmosphere exuded a sense of stability and peace. Zacharias had been on
his feet all day, dealing with various visits and appointments. He was indeed tired now.
"I'll prepare dinner right away," she said to him. He held up the teacup. "Are you sure you can cook?"
"I can." Shirley was very confident; she was a fast learner. The man nodded. "I'll take a shower. You can start
making dinner."
She got busy in the kitchen, chopping vegetables and preparing ingredients. After an hour, she brought out four

The man had also come downstairs. He wore a deep V-neck casual gray sweater, emitting a lazy and sexy vibe.
Shirley invited him to the table. “Mr. Flintstone, dinner is ready?"
Zacharias walked to the table, looked at the four dishes, and nodded. "Not bad. It looks delicious."
Shirley smiled proudly and felt a great sense of accomplishment. She served him a portion and half a bowl for
herself. Zacharias picked up the first plate, which was the pork chop. Shirley stared at him with sparkling eyes while
awaiting his evaluation.
"Hmm! Tastes good," he affirmed. She also tasted it and found it quite delicious. She hadn't expected to learn
cooking while interning here, but it was a worthwhile experience.
Zacharias looked at her captivating big eyes, which were constantly fixed on him like a child eagerly seeking
approval.
"You did well tonight." He praised her. Shirley secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It felt really satisfying to be
acknowledged.
"Well... I'll try to cook even better in the future," she said with a smile. Zacharias also smiled inexplicably, as at this
moment, he thought of a certain situation-one resembling the interaction between a newlywed couple.
