Night of Destiny ( Anastasia Tillman )
Chapter 2477

Chapter 2477

After finishing dinner, the two returned to the mansion. Zacharias closed his eyes the entire journey

home. He was seemingly resting or possibly even asleep. Upon arrival, Shirley hurriedly followed him

and noticed his overcoat. She quickly took it from him, but little did she know that a pair of eyes

followed her every move. Seeing she was hanging up the coat carefully for him, Zacharias smiled. He

was in a good mood.

“Prepare a cup of coffee for me.” He instructed her before heading upstairs.

“Aren’t you afraid that drinking coffee will keep you awake at night? How about I make you a light tea?”

she said and realized that after he found out her identity, she actually became more relaxed. Zacharias

turned to her and nodded. “All right.

I’ll go with your suggestion.”

“Good. I’ll bring it to you in five minutes,” Shirley promised. In the study, Zacharias had more tasks and

meetings to attend to. Despite the late hour, his work knew no day or night boundaries.

Shortly after, she brought the tea upstairs. He was surrounded by stacks of folders, and she couldn’t

help but feel a bit sympathetic toward him as he still had so much work to do even though it was

already so late.

“Do you need any help?” she asked.

“Do you know how to give a massage?” he inquired. Shirley was taken aback but remembered her

training. “Yes. A bit.” She nodded..

“Massage my shoulders.” He requested before putting down his pen and leaning back in the chair.

Shirley walked behind him and felt his sharp shoulder blades through the shirt. She began kneading

and massaging him to help him relax.

Zacharias closed his eyes and seemed to enjoy the massage as he let out a content sigh. As she

looked at this man from top to bottom, she couldn’t help but secretly admire him. No wonder Corinne

was so determined to stay by his side.

It seemed like his looks were more captivating than his status. She observed him closely-his long

eyelashes rested against his sculpted cheekbones. A high and elegant nose bridge led down to

sensual yet moist lips. Every contour seemed gentle yet carried an underlying sharpness.

She was openly scrutinizing this man when suddenly, he unexpectedly opened his eyes. In an instant,

his gaze shot out like two cold rays and it startled her.

“Am I good-looking?” he asked with a teasing smile on his lips. Shirley wondered if he had a third eye.

How did he know she was looking at him even though his eyes were closed?

“The public perception of your looks is indeed quite favorable,” she replied in an official tone. Zacharias

smirked. “How am I compared to the man you like?”

Her hands paused for a moment as she thought of Cole. He might not be as handsome as Zacharias

and was not as powerful as Zacharias, but he was the sunshine in her heart. He was warm and

irreplaceable.

“It’s hard to compare. Mr. Flintstone, you are undoubtedly outstanding and unmatched by many men in

the country. However, everyone’s preferences are different. Even if the person I like is not as excellent

or good-looking as you, he holds a special place in my heart that cannot be replaced,” Shirley replied

with a smile.

Zacharias’ smile faded as he sat up. She retracted her hands and felt relieved that she hadn’t offended

him.

“Have you confirmed your relationship? Did your parents agree?” He turned to her and looked at her

with an intense, penetrating gaze.

Shirley wasn’t fond of discussing her private matters. After all, only Willow knew that she had a crush

on Cole. She wasn’t sure whether he liked her or not. She only knew that she liked him.

“Mr. Flintstone, can I not answer that question?” she asked somewhat irritably. Despite being adept at

understanding people, Zacharias couldn’t read her mind.
