Chuckling, Shirley answered, “It’s a guess.”
“You must have looked up information on me,” Zacharias teased.
“That goes without saying,” she admitted. “Beforeing here, I have to find out what kind of person
you are.”
“Oh, what kind of person am I, then?” he asked out of curiosity.
All the previous information and reports she had gathered about him shed through her mind. Looking
in retrospect, she concluded that before getting into contact with this man, all the reports that
categorized him as an aloof man couldn’t exactly define what kind of person he was. But now, she
knew what kind of person he was-outstanding, capable, and a little yful. “After working by your side
for so long, I have a pretty clear idea about what kind of person you are,” she answered.
His smile was increasingly charming. “So, tell me.”
“No, I don’t want to.” She rejected him haughtily, picking up a match and striking it before lighting the
candle. When that was done, she paced to the switches and turned off all the lights in the living room.
Some light from the second floor poured down, but it didn’t affect the light from the candle, and the
room was nketed under a misty light. Sitting across from him, she said, “You can make your wish
now.”
Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!
“Sing a birthday song for me!” he requested. Struck with embarrassment, she muttered, “I’m not good
at singing.”
However, he wanted to hear it. “Just a couple of lines will do.”
So, she cleared her throat, pped her hands, and sang softly.
“Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you…”
When she finished singing, her face started to burn brightly in the candlelight because he had stared at
her unblinkingly while she was singing, his eyes burning with passion.
“Okay, blow the candles and make a wish now,” she urged. And don’t ask me to sing again.
Only then did he smile and sped his hands together in front of his chest, resting his forehead lightly
on the tips of his fingers, just like a pious, good-looking sculpture. The candlelight danced on his
handsome, deep-set features, and Shirley was so mesmerized that she held her breath, forgetting to
breathe for a few seconds. Although she wasn’t a superficial person, she was overwhelmed by his
looks.
While she was staring at him, his eyes suddenly popped open, and he raised his head, catching her
right in the moment when she was in a daze. There was a shimmer in his eyes so tender that she
couldn’t look away immediately..
A grin spread across his face. “I’ve made my wish. He looked deeply into her eyes as though. telling
her telepathically that his wish was rted to her. Sensing his hidden message, she urged nervously,
‘Blow out the candles.”
Zacharias leaned forward slightly and blew softly at the candles, then she stood up and turned on the
lights.
The bright lights seemed to lighten her up a little, and she took out two tes before slicing a piece of
cake and cing it on his te. Then, she cut a smaller piece for herself since she wasn’t a fan of
desserts.
As Zacharias didn’t have a sweet tooth, he merely took a couple of bites symbolically and pointed at
the bag. “Shouldn’t you give me the present now?”
Shirley reached out and grabbed it, passing it to him. “This is for you. I took time to pick it out.”
First, he ripped the tape on it and reached into the bag to take out something. The tie was lying on the
bottom, and the wrapped underwear was on top of it.
Right now, the thing Zacharias was holding in his hand was a small package. He looked at it curiously.
Then, he opened the packaging and retrieved a satin-like item from within.
Opposite him, Shirley had her head lowered, picking out the fruits from the cake instead of watching
him.
At the same time, the man’s eyes wavered a little at the ck underwear spread out t in his hands. Is
this the gift this woman specially picked out for me?
Just then, she looked up for a split second and saw that he was admiring the ck underwear in his
hands. Her face turned scarlet, and she snatched the underwear from his hands out of panic.
