Chapter 2458: Awkward Moments

When they parted ways, the little girl introduced herself. “Hello, my name is Shirley Lloyd. Will you

come to play with me in the future?”

At the age of ten, Zacharias was already 5-feet tall, while four-year-old Shirley was only about 3-feet

tall.

For some people, even just one meeting was unforgettable. Zacharias’ childhood lacked much joy, with

heavy academic

burdens and extremely high expectations from his parents. He had no friends. So, when he saw a

carefree little girl, he

envied her.

Unexpectedly, nineteen years later, they met again under these circumstances. However, he thought

that the little girl from

back then probably wouldn’t remember him because a person’s earliest memories started at around six

or seven years

old, so he was the only one who remembered the encounter.

Zacharias recognized her at first sight, but this little girl was just a passing guest in his life. Therefore,

he didn’t pay special

attention to her.

However, he found her quite interesting after last night’s sparring. Moreover, what made her interesting

wasn’t just her

skills but also her belonging to an influential family in the center of power. After tidying up the kitchen,

Corinne came down

to start preparing dinner.

“Imogen, help me prepare the vegetables. I’m very busy right now,” Corinne requested. Shirley took the

vegetables over to

peel them while Corinne began boiling a pot of water.

“I feel that Mr. Flintstone doesn’t like spicy food. Can you make it a bit milder?” Shirley offered a

suggestion.

“I know that. You don’t need to remind me,” Corinne replied ungratefully. Shirley decided not to speak

anymore. After

peeling the vegetables, Shirley went to the laundry room. The clothes that had just been dried needed

to be taken out,

ironed, and then hung in the cloakroom for Zacharias.

While ironing the clothes, she felt somewhat speechless. She had never even ironed her father’s

clothes, yet now she

found herself coming here every day to iron a man’s clothes.

After finishing ironing the shirts, pants, and suits, she noticed that there was one more item left in the

dryer. As she

reached for it, her face turned slightly red. It was a pair of men’s underwear-a black pair of briefs.

She felt a bit awkward while holding the underwear in her hands, but she patiently ironed it as well.

After she finished

ironing, she carried the clothes to the cloakroom.

Just as she reached the third floor with the clothes in her hands, she saw a figure walking toward her in

the corridor.

Holding the clothes, she immediately acted like she was a maid. She faced the window and lowered

her head while

waiting for the man to pass by.

Zacharias stood in front of her while gazing at the girl with intense eyes. Under the soft lighting, her

delicate and beautiful

features, slender figure, and graceful demeanor were revealed. Indeed, time was a skilled artist as it

transformed a little

girl into a beautiful young woman.

Shirley saw that the man was standing in front of her and felt his gaze on her. She couldn’t help but feel

nervous and

flustered. Could he have really discovered something?

Just then, one of the clothes she was holding. suddenly slipped and it was the smallest piece -the black

briefs. It fell onto

the golden carpet and was especially eye-catching. She lowered her head to pick it up and quickly said

to the man, “I’ll

wash it again.”

She didn’t know if this man had cleanliness issues, but since it fell on the ground in front of him, she

had to wash it again.

“There’s no need for that. Put it back in the wardrobe.” Zacharias spoke while looking at his underwear

held by her slender

and fair hands. In an instant, it seemed as if these hands were also holding a certain part of his body,

causing a sudden

tightening in his abdomen.

The man’s breathing quickened and he turned to leave hastily..

Only then did Shirley exhale while watching his retreating figure. She quickly hung his clothes back in

his dressing room

and stood in this spacious closet filled with neatly arranged dark-colored suits, waistcoats, and shirts.

This was probably

the largest collection of suits she had ever seen.
