Night of Destiny ( Anastasia Tillman )
Chapter 2584

Chapter 2584

What was happening? Why was Shirley’s heart beating so fast? Was it because of Zacharias?

Shirley bit her red lip. There was something she had been unwilling to admit or acknowledge: her

feelings toward Zacharias.

She wondered, uncertain. Do I like him?When did I become a woman who speaks one way and thinks

another? She didn’t want to delve further into things she couldn’t figure out. Instead, she returned to

her room, took a shower, and went to bed.

In the blink of an eye, it was Saturday tomorrow. With Zacharias granting her leave, Shirley eagerly

anticipated a day of relaxation at Ava’s house. She couldn’t wait to savor the delightful pastries and fruit

tea her grandmother lovingly prepared.

Zacharias worked until the early hours. During a break, he reached for a rose and lightly kissed it as if

kissing a certain someone. Then, he got up, went downstairs, had a glass of red wine to help him

sleep, and looked in the direction of the second floor. Although the fatigue from overloaded work often

made him tired, he felt that the future was promising because he now had someone to protect and

someone to bring glory to.

Everything was worth it.

After Shirley got up in the morning, she didn’t wear her uniform in case Ava would complain about her

looking like an insurance salesperson. The clothes Shirley’s aunt sent her last time were very stylish,

and there was even a set of jewelry to match.

She began to apply light makeup. She wore a lazy beige sweater with a leather skirt as the base layer

and topped it with a vintage French wool coat. Her black knee-high boots gave her a fashionable yet

youthful vibe.

After she was done, she went downstairs, planning to have breakfast at her grandmother’s house. She

assumed that Zacharias, who had worked late last night, wouldn’t be awake yet, so she didn’t need to

say goodbye.

However, Shirley was mistaken. Zacharias, wearing a black robe, was sitting on the couch enjoying

tea. He seemed to have come downstairs after exercising.

“Good morning!” He raised his eyebrows and smiled, his gaze fixed on the woman who brightened up

his morning.

It was rare to see her dressed so stylishly. While her usual uniform could captivate him, her outfit today

had a special place in his heart. Mainly because the owner of the clothes strongly attracted him.

“Morning.” Shirley smiled and waved. “I’m off.” “You look so good. Are you sure you’re going to see

your grandmother?” Zacharias suddenly asked. After hearing that, she turned her head and replied,

“Yup. I’m going to have lunch with Grandma today.” He nodded. “Alright. Go ahead.” As she departed,

an inexplicable sense of doubt crept over him. Since today was a day off, Tony also came over with a

car key in his hand, looking as though he was ready to head out.

“Tony, help me with something,” Zacharias said.

“What’s up, Uncle Zacharias?” “Miss Lloyd just left. I want you to follow her and see who she’s meeting

today,” Zacharias instructed his nephew. This task was more suitable for his nephew, as his

bodyguards were meant to protect him during travel, not follow women.

Tony, who had a free day today, planned to have lunch with friends. However, he thought that helping

his uncle pursue Shirley was the more important task now!

“Got it, Uncle Zacharias. Leave it to me!” Tony then remembered something.

“Uncle Zacharias, my car is too conspicuous. What if she recognizes it at a glance?” Zacharias gave it

a thought and agreed. “Take the keys on the cabinet, then.

Use my car.” “Aye!” Tony replied happily. He had long wanted to drive Zacharias’ SUV.

Tony went to the basement to get the car. Soon, the car roared to life. At this point, he wasn’t in a hurry

to follow Shirley. On the way, he received the address of her grandmother’s house sent by Zacharias.

All Tony needed to do was wait there.

When she arrived at Ava’s house, she saw her grandmother dressed more elegantly than usual. It was

as if they were going to have a meal with an important guest.

Curious, Shirley asked, “Grandma, is our guest someone important?”
