Shirley was still somewhat uneasy in front of her fellow colleagues. As they got into the car, it was


    already dusk. The neon lights flickering on the streets portrayed a romantic and exotic atmosphere.


    Shirley sat beside Zacharias, and the colorful lights outside the window made them both appear


    elegant and charming.


    She suddenly thought that with her outfit and riding in the same car as Zacharias, it seemed as if they


    were heading to their wedding.


    “Nervous?” Zacharias turned his head and leaned in to ask. Shirley shook her head. “Not at the


    moment.”


    Zacharias was in a particrly good mood. This visit was mainly about making friends, so there wasn’t


    much to be stressed about. After this, he could take her out for a proper week- long fun.


    The evening banquet was held in an antique and elegant hall, which would serve as an important


    venue for entertaining foreign guests. Security was extremely tight, and as Shirley got out of the car,


    Roy walked over and whispered to her, “Miss Lloyd, please put this on.”

    It was a small earpiece.


    Shirley took it and nodded. “Alright.”


    “We can’t get close to Sir, so please make sure to prioritize his safety. Everything depends on his life,


    Roy said, looking at her gravely.


    Shirley nodded firmly. “Rest assured! If anything happens, I will do my best to ensure his safety.”


    That night, she was both Zacharias’ plus one and bodyguard. If anything were to happen, she would


    fulfill her duties and protect himpletely.


    Zacharias was busy greeting several ministers from Flor. When he turned around, he saw Shirley


    standing about a few feet away. He reached out and beckoned her over to his side.


    Smiling, Shirley walked gracefully to his side as Zacharias introduced her to the ministers. The


    ministers immediately praised Shirley, who appeared poised and elegant, walking alongside Zacharias


    as they headed toward the banquet hall.


    The guests that night were the most distinguished in Flor, so the screening process for their identities


    was extremely strict.


    Zacharias received special treatment as a distinguished guest. The president himself came to greet


    him. Shirley, standing by Zacharias’ side, keenly felt the power of privilege. Compared to those


    weing him,


    Zacharias was very young, but he had the support of significant power. They engaged in lively


    conversation, and Shirley’s Chinese proficiency mademunication effortless.


    “She’s Mr. Flintstone’spanion, isn’t she? She’s the most beautiful Eastern woman I’ve ever seen.”


    They praised Shirley highly.


    With Zacharias holding Shirley’s hand, everyone could see that their rtionship went beyond mere


    companionship. The way Zacharias looked at Shirley was filled with love, earning Shirley even more


    respect from those around them.


    As the dinner began in candlelight, the elegantly decorated table set an exquisite atmosphere. Shirley


    sat beside Zacharias, listening to their conversations.


    The atmosphere was rxed, and while Shirley appeared at ease, there was a tense nerve inside her.


    She carefully observed anyone who approached Zacharias, paying attention to their every move.


    Meanwhile, in the rest area for the security team outside, Imogen sat in the car waiting. Her gaze was


    fixed on the dazzling banquet hall. She really wanted to go inside and take a look. Rumor had it that


    this building was the sixth-ranked aesthetic architecture in the world, not open to the public. So, getting


    a glimpse inside wasn’t easy.


    “Imogen, go relieve Nixon,” Roy’s voice echoed through themunication device.


    Imogen pushed open the car door. The temperature outside was around 46 degrees Fahrenheit,


    making her body tense. She took over Nixon’s position as a standing guard. She had to stand straight.


    Despite having her period that day, her job didn’t allow any special treatment. She had to perform her


    duties just like a man, causing some inner difort.


    In the banquet hall, after dinner, came the wine- tasting session. Shirley sipped a few sips of red wine


    and then set the ss down. However, Zacharias couldn’t refuse the enthusiastic toasts from the


    guests. Shirley was a bit worried about this man’s alcohol tolerance, but it seemed he could handle it


    well. He drank four sses without showing any signs of flushing.
