After finishing dinner, the two returned to the mansion. Zacharias closed his eyes the entire journey


    home. He was seemingly resting or possibly even asleep. Upon arrival, Shirley hurriedly followed him


    and noticed his overcoat. She quickly took it from him, but little did she know that a pair of eyes


    followed her every move. Seeing she was hanging up the coat carefully for him, Zacharias smiled. He


    was in a good mood.


    “Prepare a cup of coffee for me.” He instructed her before heading upstairs.


    “Aren’t you afraid that drinking coffee will keep you awake at night? How about I make you a light tea?”


    she said and realized that after he found out her identity, she actually became more rxed. Zacharias


    turned to her and nodded. “All right.


    I’ll go with your suggestion.”


    “Good. I’ll bring it to you in five minutes,” Shirley promised. In the study, Zacharias had more tasks and


    meetings to attend to. Despite thete hour, his work knew no day or night boundaries.


    Shortly after, she brought the tea upstairs. He was surrounded by stacks of folders, and she couldn’t


    help but feel a bit sympathetic toward him as he still had so much work to do even though it was


    already sote.


    “Do you need any help?” she asked.


    “Do you know how to give a massage?” he inquired. Shirley was taken aback but remembered her


    training. “Yes. A bit.” She nodded..


    “Massage my shoulders.” He requested before putting down his pen and leaning back in the chair.


    Shirley walked behind him and felt his sharp shoulder des through the shirt. She began kneading


    and massaging him to help him rx.


    Zacharias closed his eyes and seemed to enjoy the massage as he let out a content sigh. As she


    looked at this man from top to bottom, she couldn’t help but secretly admire him. No wonder Corinne


    was so determined to stay by his side.


    It seemed like his looks were more captivating than his status. She observed him closely-his long


    eyshes rested against his sculpted cheekbones. A high and elegant nose bridge led down to


    sensual yet moist lips. Every contour seemed gentle yet carried an underlying sharpness.


    She was openly scrutinizing this man when suddenly, he unexpectedly opened his eyes. In an instant,


    his gaze shot out like two cold rays and it startled her.


    “Am I good-looking?” he asked with a teasing smile on his lips. Shirley wondered if he had a third eye.


    How did he know she was looking at him even though his eyes were closed?


    “The public perception of your looks is indeed quite favorable,” she replied in an official tone. Zacharias


    smirked. “How am Ipared to the man you like?”


    Her hands paused for a moment as she thought of Cole. He might not be as handsome as Zacharias


    and was not as powerful as Zacharias, but he was the sunshine in her heart. He was warm and


    irreceable.


    “It’s hard topare. Mr. Flintstone, you are undoubtedly outstanding and unmatched by many men in


    the country. However, everyone’s preferences are different. Even if the person I like is not as excellent


    or good-looking as you, he holds a special ce in my heart that cannot be reced,” Shirley replied


    with a smile.


    Zacharias’ smile faded as he sat up. She retracted her hands and felt relieved that she hadn’t offended


    him.


    “Have you confirmed your rtionship? Did your parents agree?” He turned to her and looked at her


    with an intense, prating gaze.

    Shirley wasn’t fond of discussing her private matters. After all, only Willow knew that she had a crush


    on Cole. She wasn’t sure whether he liked her or not. She only knew that she liked him.


    “Mr. Flintstone, can I not answer that question?” she asked somewhat irritably. Despite being adept at


    understanding people, Zacharias couldn’t read her mind.
