“Mr. Lloyd Zacharias stepped forward and extended his hand to shake hands with Richard.
“Mr. Flintstone. Richard reciprocated the handshake. “My daughter has been quite willful. I apologize for any trouble
she may have caused you.”
“Not at all. Please come in and have some tea,” Zacharias replied while showing particular respect toward Richard.
Richard turned his gaze to his daughter and sighed with exasperation before entering the house. Imogen took a
step forward and held onto Shirley. “Shirley, thank you.”
“Don’t mention it,” Shirley replied..
Imogen then asked, “Is it my duty to protect Mr. Flintstone 24/7?”
Shirley nodded. ‘Yes. Currently, I’ve been assigned to work in this residence.” Imogen’s heart leaped with joy when
she heard that. So, she was taking over Shirley’s job?
Shirley felt a knot in her stomach as she was afraid to enter the hall. She held Imogen’s hand and mentally
prepared herself because she was about to face her father’s scolding in front of Zacharias.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Shirley, let’s go inside,” Imogen said to her. It was cold outside, and what was more, she was very interested in the
important figure inside.
After taking a deep breath, Shirley nodded and said, “Alright. Let’s go inside.”
She pushed the door open and allowed Imogen to enter first. She was like a child who had done something wrong
as she obediently stood behind her father. Although there was an age gap between her and Zacharias, his status
and authority were evident, making him and Richard appear equally powerful.
“Mr. Flintstone, Shirley has caused you trouble. It’s all my fault. I’ve spoiled her all her life,” Richard said as he was
filled with self-blame.
Zacharias’ gaze on Shirley held an indulgent and affectionate look as if he was treating her like his junior.
“Don’t worry about it. Miss Lloyd has been inconvenienced here for so many days, and I feel guilty about it too,”
Zacharias said with a smile.
Even after receiving the call from Richard, he made every effort to keep Shirley here. However, he knew he
couldn’t force her to stay. There was no reason for her to stay anymore.
If Richard wanted to take his daughter with him. he would definitely be able to. Besides, Zacharias current status
made it inconvenient for him to offend the Lloyd Family.
Moreover, he held great respect for Richard as his elder. Even though he himself was powerful, he wouldn’t dare to
be disrespectful to Richard.
“Shirley, why don’t you apologize to Mr. Flintstone sincerely,” Richard said to his daughter. Shirley exhibited the
demeanor of a young girl in front of her father. She hadn’t even apologized yet, but the gentleman had already
forgiven her.
“There’s no need to apologize. This was just a minor matter,” Zacharias said with a smile. Imogen, who was
standing by the side, also lowered her head and said to Zacharias, “Mr. Flintstone, I should apologize to you as
well.”
Zacharias finally looked at Imogen and gave a slight nod, indicating that there was no need to bring up the matter
again.
Imogen immediately stepped back. Zacharias’ imposing aura made her cautious about displaying any emotions.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe also felt that Zacharias treated Shirley with special attention, but of course, that was likely because of Shirley’s
identity!
“Dad, when are we leaving?” Shirley asked her father. She hoped to avoid being scolded in front of Zacharias.
Richard glanced at his daughter and sighed. “Where do you want to go?”
“I want to go back home. I miss Mom,” Shirley said with a smile.
“Miss Lloyd, are you in a hurry to go home? I wanted to invite Mr. Lloyd to have dinner together tonight!” Zacharias
smiled and looked at Shirley. His deep gaze revealed a hint of reluctance.
“Mr. Flintstone, there’s no need for a meal. My father is very busy.” Shirley waved her hand and hinted at her
father. “Right, Dad?”
Since Shirley was Richard’s daughter, he instantly understood the look he gave her.
“We should have this meal, but it should be my treat, Richard said..
Zacharias smiled and said, “Mr. Lloyd, let’s have dinner before you go then.”
Shirley was the most anxious of all. She hadn’t anticipated that her father would dine with Zacharias. She was
eager to leave as she knew that the longer they stayed, the more likely her father would scold her.
