For some people, even just one meeting was unforgettable. Zacharias’ childhood lacked much joy, withheavy 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 thoughtthat the little girl from back then probably wouldn’t remember him because a person’s earliestmemories. started at around six or seven years old, so he was the only one who remembered theencounter.

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 familyin 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 asuggestion.
“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 driedneeded 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’sclothes. 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 thedryer. As she reached for it, her face turned slightly red.novelbin
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 inthe corridor. Holding the clothes, she immediately acted like she was a maid. She faced the windowand. 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, herdelicate and beautiful features, slender figure, and graceful demeanor were revealed. Indeed, time wasat 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 feelnervous 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 blackbriefs. It fell onto the golden carpet and was especially eye-catching. She lowered her head to pick it upand 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, shehad to wash it again.
“There’s no need for that. Put it back in the wardrobe.” Zacharias spoke while looking at his underwearheld by her slender and fair hands. In an instant, it seemed as if these hands were also holding acertain. 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 inhis 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.
