“Does your boyfriend know that you’re working for me?” Zacharias suddenly asked out of curiosity.


    Shirley paused her chewing and looked up. She said, “Mr. Flintstone, we agreed not to discuss my


    rtionship.”


    “I’m just worried he might get jealous.” He raised an eyebrow.


    “He won’t,” Shirley replied. Cole had no idea she was working here.


    “If one day he finds out that you and I spend all day and night together, wouldn’t he misunderstand?”


    He smiled. He was even more interested now. Shirley was momentarily stunned.


    “A man and a woman living under the same roof-it’s hard not to give people the wrong idea!” he


    continued. She cleared her throat. “We have a professional rtionship. There won’t be any romantic


    involvement. Mr. Flintstone, enjoy your meal!”


    Zacharias felt bored. He picked up a piece of food and looked at her with his dark, mysterious eyes.


    Shirley lowered her head to eat and felt that he looked normal on the surface but had a somewhat


    unscrupulous mind.


    Did all men like to flirt?


    “Apany me somewhere tomorrow.”


    “Where to?”


    “To visit my mother’s grave,” Zacharias said. She nodded. “Okay. Do I need to prepare anything for the


    memorial?”


    “Roy will handle it. We will stay overnight on the mountain, so pack a few sets of clothes.” Shirley didn’t


    expect him to stay overnight after paying respects to his mother. She nodded. “Okay!”


    In the middle of the night, thunder rumbled, and it woke Shirley from her sleep. She saw lightning


    shing and heavy rain pouring down outside the window.


    She wondered if Zacharias would cancel the trip tomorrow. It wasn’t suitable to go up the mountain in


    such weather!


    The next morning, it stopped pouring, but it was still drizzling. Shirley packed a simple bag and brought


    it to the door, only to find that Roy was already there.


    “Roy, do we really need to go up the mountain in such heavy rain?” she asked quietly. Roy nodded.


    “Mr. Flintstone insists on going”


    She didn’t say anything more. At this moment, Zacharias came downstairs. She handed him a warm


    windbreaker. He took it but saw her wearing a suit. His eyebrows furrowed. “Go change into something


    warmer.”


    Shirley shook her head. “It’s okay. I’m not afraid of the cold.”


    Zacharias turned to Roy. “Get some warmer clothes for her.”


    “Understood.” Roy nodded. Shirley didn’t know which mountain they were going to, but she had to


    follow the team.


    After departing from the Flintstone Residence, the convoy drove through the rain. Zacharias remained


    silent, and his whole being exuded a mncholic aura. She wondered what he was thinking, but he


    seemed to be immersed in some kind of sorrow.


    They left the city and entered the outskirts. The road in the suburbs was broad but sparsely popted.


    In the distance, the mountains were misty and the rain turned the entirend into a misty state.


    As the convoy continued to drive up the mountain, Shirley noticed that the security team’s driving skills


    were excellent. Coupled with the high-performance vehicles, the ascent was effortless.


    She counted silently in her heart; they had driven up at least four mountains. Finally, they arrived at the


    top of one mountain. It was deste, with no signs of human presence.


    Someone had built a courtyard here. It was surrounded by high walls and barbed wire to ensure a high


    level of privacy.


    Only Zacharias’ car entered while the convoy parked outside. There were several cottages outside for


    them to rest in..


    Shirley got out of the car and a bodyguard held an umbre for her. She walked into the corridor filled


    with fallen leaves. Zacharias was standing here as well and Roy was moving the necessary supplies.

    “Mr. Flintstone, we’re outside. If anything happens, call us anytime,” Roy said.


    “Got it.” Zacharias nodded. Then, he took out a key from his pocket, opened the gate, and at that


    moment, several bats unexpectedly flew out.


    Shirley instinctively moved to block him. However, the next second, she found herself protected by the


    man’srge windbreaker and she was held in his arms.


    She could smell a clear and brisk masculine scent as she inhaled. Her entire body stiffened as the


    man’srge palms firmly held her waist and the back of her head.
