Zacharias sat at the dining table, watching his nephew hold Shirley’s hand. Immediately, he cleared his


    throat and said, “Tony,e over and have your breakfast.”


    At his words, Tony quickly released Shirley’s hand and refrained from making any advances. After all,


    she was going to be his uncle’s future wife.


    “Hurry ande over, Tony. It’s a bodyguard’s duty to stand guard.” Jesslyn felt discontent too. Why is


    Tony being so friendly with a bodyguard?


    Tony obediently joined them for breakfast, and Jesslyn continued to plead with Zacharias, “Please,


    Zacharias. Just let me stay here for three days. I promise to behave.”


    “No.” Zacharias was holding his coffee, but his gaze remained fixed on the straight figure at the door.


    “How about just one day, then? Let me stay here for the night.”


    “Leave by 3.00 PM at thetest,” he replied calmly.


    Frustrated, she bit her lip. Suddenly, she realized that even though Zacharias was talking to her, his


    gaze was fixated in one direction. She followed his gaze and saw Shirley’s slender figure.


    At once, a tinge of jealousy red in her eyes. I’ve underestimated the bodyguard’s ce in Zacharias’


    heart.


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    After breakfast, Zacharias instructed the servant clearing the table, “Prepare another. breakfast.”


    “Sure, Mr. Flintstone,” the servant acknowledged, well aware of who it was for.


    “Apany Jesslyn and escort her home in the afternoon, Zacharias told Tony. After that, he dialed a


    number to summon his convoy, as he needed to spend the day at the office.


    Seeing that he was about to leave, Shirley stepped forward and picked up his overcoat for him. Instead


    of epting it, he instructed her, “Help me put it on.”


    She readily assisted him in putting on the overcoat. He then adjusted his tie, remarking. “My tie isn’t


    properly done. Help me fix it.”


    Shirley, experienced in helping her father with his tie, skillfully loosened and re-tied it. Meanwhile,


    Jesslyn couldn’t hear their conversation from the dining table. When she saw Shirley helping Zacharias


    get dressed and fix his tie, she grew furious as she perceived their interactions as flirtatious.


    Watching this scene from the side, Tony acted amused, for he knew of Jesslyn’s interest in his uncle.


    As Zacharias’ car arrived, Shirley opened the door for him. After he got in and before driving away, he


    cast a final nce in her direction.


    She received his gaze withposure, her face disying tranquility. Inside, however, her heart was


    far from calm. She wasn’t naive; she knew that the look of someone in love couldn’t be hidden,


    especially when she was the one who was being loved.


    Zacharias harbored affection for her, but she couldn’t reciprocate his feelings because she had recently


    ended a brief romantic rtionship with Cole. Even though it had only extended as far as holding


    hands, she couldn’t simply transfer her emotions to another man so quickly.


    For now, she was wholeheartedly dedicated to making her three-month internship a sess. As for


    Zacharias’ attraction to her, she would offer no response.


    The moment Shirley returned to the living room, a shrill female voice suddenly sounded. “How dare you


    openly seduce the vice president? You’ve got some nerve.”


    Shirley raised her head and frowned as she watched Jesslyn rush toward her. “Miss Kurt, please don’t


    make baseless usations.”


    “Did I say something wrong? I saw you seducing him with my own eyes. If you dare do it again, I’ll


    expose this matter, and you will lose your job as a bodyguard,” Jesslyn huffed.


    At this moment, Tony, who was present throughout, stared at them with widened eyes. He knew


    Shirley’s ce in Zacharias’ heart well, so he tried to intervene. “Drop it, Jesslyn. She was just doing


    her job.”


    “Don’t try to persuade me, Tony. You live here; don’t you know what she’s up to? A mere bodyguard


    like you dares to seduce Zacharias?” Jesslyn mocked.


    Tony nced at Shirley, then turned his gaze back to Jesslyn, letting out a sigh. “Jesslyn, you don’t


    know the whole story, so don’t me her.” It’s Uncle Zacharias who has developed feelings for her.


    What does it have to do with my goddess? She hasn’t done anything.
