Zacharias snorted. "Can't your love affair be made public?" Shirley was rendered speechless. Couldn't this man hold
back his words?
"It's not that it can't be made public, but I haven't announced it yet. So, Mr. Flintstone, please curb your curiosity!"
she retorted.
Zacharias glanced at his wristwatch. He had already wasted a lot of his time talking to her, and he still had a pile of
work waiting for him.
"You may leave."
Shirley was about to leave when the man suddenly thought of something and said, "Don't go to bed yet. Cook
supper for me at 10.30PM."
She blinked. Why did he want to eat supper late at night? She couldn't help but ask, "What do you want to eat?"

"I remember there are pierogi and dumplings in the fridge." Shirley thought that those were easy to make.
"Dumplings then!" The man decided.
"Okay. I'll wait for you until 10.30PM," she replied. After that, she opened the door and left.
The man sitting at the table found it hard to: immediately focus on work. Another question lingered in his mind-who
was the man Shirley secretly admired?
Which lucky guy had captured her infatuation? Shirley returned to her room and took off her coat before revealing
a shirt underneath. With her tall and well-proportioned figure, the slightly tight-fitting uniform set showcased her
curves perfectly.
She had a perfect body, but she usually wore uniforms at the base and was unable to show it off. She decided to
take a bath first as she still had two hours left until 10.30PM. She could rest a bit or read a book.
After a shower and changing into a loose long T-shirt, her long hair, which was now dry, flowed down her waist like
a waterfall. She was as graceful as a swan. She lay on the bed, picked up a book, and checked her phone. Her
mother had sent a voice message, so she replied to the message.
Since she had coordinated with her grandmother, her parents wouldn't suspect anything.Her grandmother helped
her keep her internship a secret, so if her parents returned unexpectedly, her grandmother would inform her
immediately.
During her internship, she might have to take a few days off to spend time with them. As long. as Zacharias was
easygoing, it should be manageable.
So, during her internship, she had to serve her boss well so that when the time came to ask for leave, he would be
more accommodating..
Time unknowingly passed, and it was already 10.20PM. Shirley got up, went to the third floor, and arrived outside

Flintstone, shall I bring it up for you, or will you come down to eat?"
"I'll come down," the man answered her. "All right. I'll go down and cook for you," she said before closing the door.
She went downstairs to the kitchen and found the frozen dumplings. They weren't the packaged ones from the
supermarket but specially provided for Zacharias' household.
She realized she was a bit hungry but decided not to eat to maintain her figure. She ended up cooking twenty
dumplings unintentionally. When she realized it, it was already too late. Shirley had no choice but to go with it. She
placed her iPad nearby while searching for tutorial videos.
She learned to cook on the spot. She took a bowl, followed the instructions to prepare a fragrant sauce, and
sprinkled chopped green onions on top, making it visually appealing. She scooped ten dumplings using a ladle into
the soup and felt a sense of accomplishment.
Zacharias came downstairs and saw the captivating figure standing in front of the kitchen counter. He narrowed his
eyes. Had she taken a shower?
