Chapter 2552
“That’s not the present. The present is a tie,” Shirley said, blushing. Clutching the underwear in her
hand, she didn’t know what else to say. The gift that the cashier mentioned is actually a pair of men’s
underwear!
Equally stunned, Zacharias then burst intoughter. He picked up the tie and admired it before
extending his hand at her, demanding, “Give me the underwear, too.” “N-No!” She hid the underwear
behind her back. “I’m giving it to my father.” “You’ve already bought it. Why won’t you give it to me?” he
grumbled.
“This is a free gift,” she exined, blushing.
“I want to wear it,” he demanded, extending his hand at her. This time, her face was a bright red. An
underwear as a birthday gift? It sounds like an ambiguous rtionship, no matter how I look at it!
“You’ve already brought it back. Why won’t you just give it to me?” he asked with quizzical, narrowed
eyes.
Shirley contemted for a second before handing over the underwear into his hand. “Alright, you can
have it.” Taking it from her, he then ced it into the bag and smiled. “I like the presents very much.”
Staring at the huge cake, Shirley said, “I’m sending the cake to the dorm.” “Sure.” Zacharias nodded.
After she packed the cake properly, she carried it outside and sent it to the dorm by car. Learning that it
was Zacharias’ birthday today, Roy was delighted to share the cake with everyone else, too.
Shirley asked Imogen over as well, and thetter took a slice of cake with her before they returned to
the room.
When the door closed, Imogen asked with a smile, “Shirley, are you the only one who celebrated Mr.
Flintstone’s birthday with him?” As Imogen had already guessed it correctly, Shirley nodded and
answered honestly, “Yeah, Mr. Flintstone didn’t invite his family over today.” “You’re so lucky to spend
the evening alone with Mr. Vice President on his birthday! Spill the beans. Did anything interesting
happen?” The eagerness to hear thetest gossip was written all over Imogen’s face.
The little hup with the underwear came into Shirley’s mind, but she didn’t n to share the story. So,
she smiled and shook her head. “Nothing interesting happened. It was just a regr birthday
celebration.” “Shirley, Mr. Flintstone is such a dreamboat. Aren’t you attracted to him even a little?”
Imogen asked curiously. To that, Shirley shook her head. “No, he’s merely my superior.” “Are you sure?
We’re such good friends, so don’t lie to me, okay?” Imogen pressed on. Nodding, Shirley assured, “I
swear I’m not lying to you.” A grin spread across Imogen’s face. “You sure have my trust, but I’m
different from you. The moment I first saw Mr. Flintstone, I felt my heart beating out of my chest.”
Surprised and curious, Shirley asked, “Do you like Mr. Flintstone?” Imogen was honest and lowered her
voice as she leaned closer to Shirley.

“Keep this a secret, okay?” Hearing that as an answer, Shirley was sure that Imogen had fallen for
Zacharias and nodded, “Alright, my lips are sealed.” “As you know, I’ve never fallen for anyone, but
when I saw Mr. Flintstone for the first time, I understood what ‘love at first sight’ means.” Imogen’s eyes
were filled with her adoration for Zacharias, and Shirley could read them so clearly. However, she didn’t
expect that Imogen would develop romantic feelings for him.
“Shirley, will you please keep it a secret for me? I’m just going to like him in the dark and won’t let it
affect my work,” Imogen added, looking at her pleadingly.
Shirley nodded her head earnestly. “You have my word.” Picking up the cake, Imogen then took a bite
happily. “Mmm, it’s really sweet! I think it’s especially delicious because it’s Mr. Flintstone’s birthday
cake.” “I don’t like it because it’s too sweet,” Shirleymented.
“Looks like we like different types, Shirley,” Imogen pointed out.
Images of the times when Zacharias was acting intimately with her appeared in Shirley’s mind, and her
heart was unsettled. Just then, her phone beeped from receiving a message, and she took a nce; it
was Zacharias urging her to return.
