“That goes without saying,” she admitted. “Before coming here, | have to find out what kind of person you are.” “Oh, what kind of
person am |, then?” he asked out of curiosity.
All the previous information and reports she had gathered about him flashed through her mind. Looking in retrospect, she
concluded that before getting into contact with this man, all the reports that categorized him as an aloof man couldn't exactly
define what kind of person he was. But now, she knew what kind of person he was-outstanding, capable, and a little playful. “After
working by your side for so long, | have a pretty clear idea about what kind of person you are,” she answered.
His smile was increasingly charming. “So, tell me.” “No, | don’t want to.” She rejected him haughtily, picking up a match and
striking it before lighting the candle. When that was done, she paced to the switches and turned off all the lights in the living room.
Slight from the second floor poured down, but it didn’t affect the light from the candle, and the room was blanketed under a
misty light. Sitting across from him, she said, “You can make your wish now.” “Sing a birthday song for me!” he requested. Struck
with embarrassment, she muttered, “I'm not good at singing.” However, he wanted to hear it. “Just a couple of lines will do.” So,

because he had stared at her unblinkingly while she was singing, his eyes burning with passion.
“Okay, blow the candles and make a wish now,” she urged. And don’t askto sing again.
Only then did he smile and clasped his hands together in front of his chest, resting his forehead lightly on the tips of his fingers,
just like a pious, good[Jlooking sculpture. The candlelight danced on his handsome, deep-set features, and Shirley was so
mesmerized that she held her breath, forgetting to breathe for a few seconds. Although she wasn't a superficial person, she was
overwhelmed by his looks.
While she was staring at him, his eyes suddenly popped open, and he raised his head, catching her right in the moment when she
was in a daze. There was a shimmer in his eyes so tender that she couldn't look away immediately..

candles, then she stood up and turned on the lights.
The bright lights seemed to lighten her up a little, and she took out two plates before slicing a piece of cake and placing it on his
plate. Then, she cut a smaller piece for herself since she wasn’t a fan of desserts.

Right now, the thing Zacharias was holding in his hand was a small package. He looked at it curiously. Then, he opened the
packaging and retrieved a satin-like item from within.
Opposite him, Shirley had her head lowered, picking out the fruits from the cake instead of watching him.
At the stime, the man’s eyes wavered a little at the black underwear spread out flat in his hands. Is this the gift this woman
specially picked out for me?
Just then, she looked up for a split second and saw that he was admiring the black underwear in his hands. Her face turned scarlet,
