Shirley left a good impression on her. After dinner, Shirley took a present from the waiter and presented


    it to the seconddy of Dansbury. Delighted, thedy hugged Shirley and gave her a present in return.


    The dinner finally came to an end, and Shirley eased up a little. She stood with Zacharias, sending the


    seconddy and gentleman of Dansbury off. Once their vehicle was out of sight, Shirley heaved a sigh


    of relief. She raised her head, asking, “Did I embarrass you?”


    Zacharias put an arm around Shirley’s waist and leaned down. “No. You made me proud.”


    Shirley smiled. That was the best praise she could receive. Zacharias took her into the car, but before


    that, Shirley saw the waiter walking to them with the present. She asked Zacharias, “Where are we


    sending this gift?”


    Amused, Zacharias said, “The seconddy of Dansbury gave you that. It belongs to you.”


    Shirley was surprised she could keep the present.


    “Take it. It’s your prize.” Zacharias chuckled. He told his bodyguards to take the presents while he took


    Shirley into the car.


    Shirley got into the car, and someone texted her. She picked up her phone and realized it was from her


    mother. ‘Your father and I are going to Elliot’s ce. We’re probably going to stay at their family’s hotel.


    You do whatever you want tonight.


    Shirley heaved a sigh of relief. She was going toe up with an excuse not to go hometer, but her


    mother gave her one. ‘Sure, Mom. Can do, Shirley texted.


    Zacharias huddled closer. “Who are you talking to?”


    “My mom. She and my dad won’t be home tonight, so I don’t have to go home either.” Shirley smiled at


    Zacharias. Zacharias was surprised. “Really? You cane to my ce tonight?”


    “I didn’t say I was going to your ce. I’m going to Grandma’s,” Shirley teased. Zacharias held her


    hand at once and imperiously said, “You’re not going anywhere but my ce tonight.”


    Shirley chuckled and said nothing more. The bodyguards had entered the car as well. Can’t flirt with


    them around.

    The convoy made their way to the Flintstone Residence. Shirley was excited all the way, and she


    couldn’t wait to get there.


    They finally arrived at the residence. Zacharias got out of the car and saw a red supercar parked in the


    courtyard. He frowned.


    Shirley looked at the red car too, and she paused for a few moments. That’s Tony’s car He’s here too?


    “Is Tony staying here?” Shirley asked curiously.


    Zacharias said, “No, he’s leaving in a bit.”


    Shirley nced at the look on Zacharias’ face and realized that Tony would be kicked out. She felt


    sorry for the guy.


    Tony was in the living room, lounging on the leather couch. He was munching on a bag of snacks while


    watching a movie. When he saw Shirley, he happily said, “My Goddess, you’re here. It’s been days


    since I saw you.”


    “What brings you here?”


    “I’m staying here for a bit,” said Tony. This was like his home anyway. Zacharias let Shirley go and


    approached Tony. “Come out. We need to talk.”


    Tony blinked and looked at his uncle and then at the gorgeously-dressed Shirley. At once, he knew he


    couldn’t stay tonight. “Okay, Zacharias.” Tony stood up and followed Zacharias out.


    Tony said, “Don’t stay here tonight. Go to my dad’s ce.”


    “You’re kicking me out just to date my goddess, aren’t you? It won’t be that easy.” Tony’s eyes twinkled


    with mischief.
