“You said you like flowers this morning. Here you go. They're yours.” Zacharias handed the bouquet to Shirley.

Despite feeling excited, she only asked him quietly, “Why are you givingflowers? | don’t have a place to put

them.”

“Why not? You can take any vase here and put them wherever you like.” He chuckled. He had noticed the

anticipation in her eyes; it seemed he was gradually making his presence felt in her heart.

After Shirley reached out and took the flowers, Zacharias went to hang his coat. A smile unknowingly appeared

on her lips when she smelled the fragrance of the flowers.

She felt a sense of surrealism when she noticed her lips curling. What was happening to her? She had been

eagerly anticipating him giving her flowers all day.

And after receiving the flowers, she couldn't help but be in a much better mood.

This feeling wasn’t just a simple imagination like the fleeting thoughts about Cole. It was a real experience.

She searched around and found three vases. She wanted to keep this bouquet alive; it was too beautiful, and she

couldn't bear to see it wither too quickly.

Although Shirley didn’t have the skills for flower arranging, the flowers were so vibrant and charming. Any

random placement created a picturesque scene.

She left one vase on the dining table. Then, she contemplated whether to take another vase to Zacharias’ study.

Sflowers would enhance the atmosphere there.

She first placed her vase in her room and then went upstairs to the third floor. He had just started working in the

study room. She knocked on the door, entered with the vase, and asked him, “Do you want a vase of flowers?”

He raised an eyebrow. “You haven't even enjoyed them for long, and you've already taken the bouquet apart?”

Shirley found it amusing, too. Zacharias carefully gave her a beautifully wrapped bouquet, and she indeed hadn't

appreciated them for more than a few minutes before taking them apart, not even taking a photo.

But she was quite laid-back about many things. So, she asked again, “Do you want them or not?”

“Sure.” The man nodded. “Leave them.”

After placing the vase on his desk, she noted how it had indeed added slife to the room. His mood also

improved.

“Did you personally buy these flowers, or did you have your assistant buy them?” Shirley asked.

Zacharias certainly couldn’t have personally gone out to buy them. In other words, these beautiful flowers must

have been chosen by Freddie. Zacharias raised an eyebrow. “I knew you would care about this, so | went to pick

them up.”

She was taken aback, wondering how this man saw through her so well. Did he anticipate that she would ask this

question?

“You went out to buy them yourself? Don’t do it next time. Someone of your status shouldn't appear in public.”

Shirley becconcerned again. She didn’t want Zacharias to attract attention just to buy her a bouquet.

He couldn’t help but chuckle. “A woman's heart is truly contradictory.”

Her pretty face blushed. She realized that she was indeed contradicting herself by complaining that the flowers

weren't personally bought by him yet worrying about his safety.

“Anyway, don’t get out of your car next time,” she reminded him. Beyond the joy of receiving flowers, her

foremost wish was for this man tostay safe and sound.

He nodded. “Sure, I'll listen to you.”

“To be honest, I'm not really a fan of flowers. If I like them, I'd prefer to grow them myself. | can plant them in

your backyard,” Shirley added. Bought flowers had a short lifespan. It was also disheartening having to see them

wither.

Zacharias smiled. “Alright, I'll buy you sflower seeds. You can grow them yourself.”

“Good, let's do that.” She also smiled as she nodded. Suddenly, the ambiance in the study lightened, becoming

pleasant. When their gazes met in mid-air, the man’s eyes held a hint of deep affection and indulgence, leaving

her feeling a bit overwhelmed.

“Okay, I'll leave now. | wouldn't want to disturb you when you are working.” Shirley turned around and left.

As soon as she stepped out, she felt her heart beating faster. As she placed her hand over her chest, she realized

that her heart wasn't steady, it was beating irregularly and thumping rapidly.
