The trio’s eyes glinted cruelly. These men were Zacharias’ enemies. They were also the ones who sent


    killers after Zacharias on the highway, but Lady Luck was on Zacharias’ side at that time, and he


    escaped.


    In the morning, three dayster, Shirley was told that her parents were back. Happily, she drove back


    home to wee them. Zacharias had work to do, so he couldn’t leave. She was the only one who


    coulde to her parents.


    Richard was in the garden, watering the flowers. The first thing his wife saw after their return was the


    wilting of her beloved flowers. It dampened her mood, so the first thing he did was to tend to the


    flowers.


    “Dad!” Shirley called, and she went into the lounge. Ang was in the lounge, sorting out the flowers


    she bought. She was trimming them, about to house them in her vase. Ang was a woman who loved


    life. No matter which home she was in, it was a warm and lovely ce.


    “Whoa, Mom, you’re getting better at flower arrangement.” Shirley was always in awe of the art pieces


    in the house when she came in.


    Ang smiled. “Of course. This is my life’s love.” She looked past her daughter. “You’re alone?


    Where’s your boyfriend?”


    “He’s busy, especially now. Tons of work to do.


    so he couldn’t make it,” said Shirley, a little resigned.


    Ang paused for a moment. Oh, right. I forgot about that. Zacharias is perfect, but he’s a super busy


    man. “You’ll have to bear with him. His work is monumental,” said Ang.


    “I know.” Shirley nodded before looking at her mother curiously. “Mom, can you tell me how you wooed


    Dad?”


    Ang stopped trimming her flowers for a moment. She recalled her sweet memories, and she said, “I


    made the first move. He was too popr. If I hadn’t made the first move, I would never have made him


    mine.”


    “Didn’t you only make him yours because he stayed in the base all the time and never got to see any


    girls?” Shirley asked.


    “It was a romantic process, how your father and I met. And one little thing kickstarted our rtionship.”


    “What is it?”


    “A stick of lipstick,” said Ang.


    “Was Dad that romantic?” Shirley smiled.


    Ang told Shirley about her past, specifically how she met her husband. Shirley thought it was an


    interesting story, and she was d she was born into a family filled with love. A whileter, Ang took


    Shirley with her and picked Ava up. They were going to have dinner together that night.


    Back in Zacharias’ office, Freddie asked someone toe in. He presented a report from their secret


    trackers. After reading the report, Zacharias’ face fell. “These parasites think they can topple me.”


    “We need to make our move, sir. We cannot let them have the high ground. If we had evidence about


    their involvement in the explosion, we would never have let them run around for so long.”


    Zacharias nodded. “Summon the minister for security. We need to work together this time.” He raised


    his head. “And on what day am I free?”


    Freddie checked the itinerary. “Your schedule for this week is full. Even your mealtimes are reserved for


    appointments.”


    “See if you can cancel any.” Zacharias frowned.


    “No. They’re all meetings with foreign guests. You have to be present,” said Freddie, a little troubled.

    Zacharias nodded. “I see. You may leave now.” After Freddie was gone, Zacharias picked up his phone


    and called Shirley, Gently, he asked,


    “Are your folks back?”


    “Yes. Are you free after this?”


    “My schedule’s full for the week, but I’ll try to swing by for a visit,” Zacharias said.


    “Nothing’s more important than your work. They’ll understand,” Shirley replied.


    “Of course. I’ll pay them a visit after I’m done with work.” Zacharias sounded apologetic.
