Chapter 2540
Night of Destiny
âWhy are you staying at Zachariasâ place? Donât bodyguards have designated dorms?â Jesslyn found it
unbelievable that Shirley was here so early in the morning. Being a girl, she was sensitive and prone to
overthinking. Could this female bodyguard have made her way into Zachariasâ bed?
âMr. Flintstone allowed me to stay here, Shirley replied.
âHah, quite crafty, but rags can never become riches.â During their previous encounter at the hospital,
Jesslyn sensed that there was something unusual between Shirley and Zacharias.
Shirley furrowed her brow as she listened to: Jesslynâs insulting words. âPlease watch your words, Miss
Kurt,â she warned lightly.
Yet, Jesslyn rolled her eyes and went upstairs, leaving Shirley at her post as a bodyguard.
When she arrived at the master bedroom door, she immediately took off her coat and placed it on the
couch in the third-floor living room. Intentionally, she tugged at her already low V- neck to reveal her
charming cleavage before.
knocking, âCome in,â the man inside said.
Jesslyn joyfully pushed the door open. At that moment, the man, who was arranging his clothes, saw
her and furrowed his brow. âWhy is it you?â âYou seem disappointed to see me, Zacharias.â She
pouted, thinking to herself, Does he think itâs that female bodyguard? Such a beautiful bodyguard
shouldnât be staying close to Zacharias. What if she successfully seduces him one day and becomes
his wife?
âThis is my workplace, Jesslyn. If thereâs nothing important, please try to come here less often in the
future,â he said.
âYouâre always incredibly busy, handling thousands of matters every day. Itâs hard to see you, and if I
donât take the initiative, we probably wonât meet for a year or more,â she complained.
Zacharias had known Jesslyn ever since he was a young child, so he didnât impose overly strict
requirements on her in their interactions. Moreover, because her parents had helped his parents, he
treated her like a little sister. However, he sensed that after she turned 18, there was a shyer look in her
eyes when she looked at him, so he tried to keep his distance. Yet, she still found ways to see him.
âLetâs go down and have breakfast together.â âI heard Tony is here too. Zacharias, can I stay at your
place for a few days?â she asked. earnestly. âNo,â he immediately refused.
âWhy not? Even the female bodyguard can stay here; why canât I?â She felt it was unfair. Do mean less
to him than a female bodyguard does?
âThis isnât a place for you to come and go as you please.â As he responded, he headed downstairs
while adjusting his cufflinks.
Though Jesslyn was not happy, she couldnât push it further. She was smart enough not to anger him
and strain their relationship. This way, she could continue being by his side.
As Zacharias descended to the living room, he looked at the girl standing at the entrance like a
guardian of the door. Suddenly, he felt a twinge of pity. He didnât want her to work so diligently; he
hoped she could relax and enjoy her life here.
âCome have breakfast,â he called out to Shirley.
âIâm on duty. You can go ahead, Mr. Flintstone,â Shirley replied, not wanting to dine with him. Seeing
this, Jesslyn felt jealous. She stays here and even gets to sit at the same table as Zacharias for meals?
Zacharias didnât push it further. At that moment, Tony came downstairs while stretching. He was
surprised to see Jesslyn and greeted her. âWhat brings you here, Jesslyn?â âItâs been a while, Tony.â
Jesslyn was three years older than Tony and naturally considered herself his older sister. Tony replied
with a smile before looking at Shirley and greeting her. âHi, good morning.â In response, Shirley
nodded. Tony also invited her to join them. âCome join us for breakfast.â âPlease go ahead,â she said.
At her reply, he was taken aback. Why has my goddess suddenly become so polite? He approached
her and reached out to pull her. âJoin us. I enjoy my breakfast more with you around.â
