Night of Destiny

“Why are you staying at Zacharias’ place? Don’t bodyguards have designated dorms?” Jesslyn found it unbelievable that Shirley was here so early in the morning. Being a girl, she was sensitive and prone to overthinking. Could this female bodyguard have made her way into Zacharias’ bed?

“Mr. Flintstone allowed me to stay here, Shirley replied.

“Hah, quite crafty, but rags can never become riches.” During their previous encounter at the hospital, Jesslyn sensed that there was something unusual between Shirley and Zacharias.

Shirley furrowed her brow as she listened to: Jesslyn’s insulting words. “Please watch your words, Miss Kurt,” she warned lightly.

Yet, Jesslyn rolled her eyes and went upstairs, leaving Shirley at her post as a bodyguard.

When she arrived at the master bedroom door, she immediately took off her coat and placed it on the couch in the third-floor living room. Intentionally, she tugged at her already low V- neck to reveal her charming cleavage before. knocking, “Come in,” the man inside said.

Jesslyn joyfully pushed the door open. At that moment, the man, who was arranging his clothes, saw her and furrowed his brow. “Why is it you?”

“You seem disappointed to see me, Zacharias.” She pouted, thinking to herself, Does he think it’s that female bodyguard? Such a beautiful bodyguard shouldn’t be staying close to Zacharias. What if she successfully seduces him one day and becomes his wife?

“This is my workplace, Jesslyn. If there’s nothing important, please try to come here less often in the future,” he said.

“You’re always incredibly busy, handling thousands of matters every day. It’s hard to see you, and if I don’t take the initiative, we probably won’t meet for a year or more,” she complained.

Zacharias had known Jesslyn ever since he was a young child, so he didn’t impose overly strict requirements on her in their interactions. Moreover, because her parents had helped his parents, he treated her like a little sister. However, he sensed that after she turned 18, there was a shyer look in her eyes when she looked at him, so he tried to keep his distance. Yet, she still found ways to see him.

“Let’s go down and have breakfast together.”

“I heard Tony is here too. Zacharias, can I stay at your place for a few days?” she asked. earnestly. “No,” he immediately refused.

“Why not? Even the female bodyguard can stay here; why can’t I?” She felt it was unfair. Do mean less to him than a female bodyguard does?

“This isn’t a place for you to come and go as you please.” As he responded, he headed downstairs while adjusting his cufflinks.

Though Jesslyn was not happy, she couldn’t push it further. She was smart enough not to anger him and strain their relationship. This way, she could continue being by his side.

As Zacharias descended to the living room, he looked at the girl standing at the entrance like a guardian of the door. Suddenly, he felt a twinge of pity. He didn’t want her to work so diligently; he hoped she could relax and enjoy her life here.

“Come have breakfast,” he called out to Shirley.

‘I’m on duty. You can go ahead, Mr. Flintstone,” Shirley replied, not wanting to dine with him. Seeing this, Jesslyn felt jealous. She stays here and even gets to sit at the same table as Zacharias for meals? Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Zacharias didn’t push it further. At that moment, Tony came downstairs while stretching. He was surprised to see Jesslyn and greeted her. “What brings you here, Jesslyn?”

“It’s been a while, Tony.” Jesslyn was three years older than Tony and naturally considered herself his older sister. Tony replied with a smile before looking at Shirley and greeting her. “Hi, good morning.”

In response, Shirley nodded. Tony also invited her to join them. “Come join us for breakfast.”

“Please go ahead,” she said.

At her reply, he was taken aback. Why has my goddess suddenly become so polite? He approached her and reached out to pull her. “Join us. I enjoy my breakfast more with you around.”
