“Now he has found me and asked me to seek your forgiveness.”
“There’s no need to spare such a person. Deal with him as needed.”

“But he used to be your supporter and admirer. If we take action against him, will it affect your
reputation?”
“There’s no need to consider my reputation. Clean out the pest.” Zacharias’ gaze was resolute and
cold.
“All right. I’ll do as you wish.” the person on the other end said and hung up the phone.
Zacharias tossed his phone onto the couch and then went to the open kitchen counter. He took out
some fruits from a box and washed and sliced them before carrying them upstairs with the coffee.
When he reached the second floor, he saw a girl sleeping with a book in her hands. He smiled lightly
before cing the fruits and coffee on the table. Then, he entered the master bedroom and brought out
a nket to cover her.
Shirley was still very alert. She immediately opened her eyes and tried to sit up, but the man’s big hand
pressed her back onto the couch. “You can continue sleeping.”
Although she had only slept for about ten minutes, she felt rejuvenated. She sat up while holding the
nket he covered. her with. Upon seeing the fruits on the table, she felt a bit embarrassed. ‘I’m sorry.
I should have been the one serving you.”
“We’re friends here. Not superior and subordinate. Zacharias raised an eyebrow.
“I’m honored to be friends with you,” Shirley said sincerely. “I’m also honored to be friends with you,
Miss Lloyd.” He sat on the couchzily.
Today, he didn’t style his pompadour hair. He appeared rxed and his hair hung over his forehead.
Combined with hisid-back expression, he resembled azy but majestic lion. Shirley picked up a
book. “Let’s read for a while!”
Life in the city was fast-paced, but in the mountains, time seemed to slow down. Evening approached
slowly. The entire wooden vi lit up with gentle lights. It was not too bright but veryfortable.
Shirley came over to watch him cook dinner. He insisted that she let him do it, and she couldn’t
intervene. She stood by and watched him. skillfully pan-sear the steak, asparagus, broli, and
mushrooms.
“The red wine is in the box. Go open a bottle,” the man said to her. She went over to open the red wine
and set the table. It seemed that they would have a romantic dinner tonight.
Just as she was thinking about this, she suddenly froze. Wait a minute. How could she have a romantic
dinner with Zacharias?
Even if it were a romantic dinner, she should have it with Cole! Soon after, he brought out two well-
ted dinners. It was simple but full of ceremonial ir.
The man got up and went to the cab to find something. Shirley hadn’t reacted yet when she saw
himing over with four candles.
Was it going to be a candlelight dinner tonight? She felt her heart beating faster. The atmosphere
seemed a bit off now!
Zacharias lit the four candles. He walked over and turned off the lights, making the entire room pitch
ck. There was only the sound of rain hitting the eaves. In the dining room of the wooden house, the
candlelight flickered, giving life to a small, bright world. On the other side of the stove, there was still a
fire burning, creating a romantic atmosphere.
Upon seeing that she hadn’t poured the red wine yet, Zacharias took the initiative to pour half a cup for
each of them. He raised his cup to the girl across from him. “Cheers.”
Shirley picked up the red wine ss and clinked it against his. “Mr. Flintstone, thank you for making
dinner for me.”
“You’re wee.” Zacharias smirked and added, “I am very willing to serve you.”
She pursed her lips while avoiding his gaze. She thought to herself that she shouldn’t be the one sitting
here at this moment!
It should be his future girlfriend. She cut the tender grilled steak into pieces and unexpectedly found it
delicious. She made sure to finish everything.
Zacharias did the same. Shirley got up to clean the tes at the sink. The water here was from a
mountain spring and was very cold. He got up and brought a kettle of hot water over. “Here’s some hot
water.”
