StarNovelTony was initially surprised, then delighted. “Of course, we can go! I'm a regular at the bar, and I'll reserve a
private area for us tonight. | promise you'll have a great time.”
Shirley had never been to a bar before. Her father’s restrictions and her busy schedule had kept her away.
However, today, she suddenly felt the urge to let loose and unwind.
While he focused on driving, he couldn't help but worry that she might have a change of heart. “Goddess, it's a
deal!” he said, maintaining a hopeful tone.
“Okay,” she said.
“All right, but we must keep this a secret from Uncle Zacharias. If he finds out | took you to the bar, he won't let
Shirley concurred, nodding in agreement, “Okay, we won't tell him.” At this moment, they both felt like rebellious
teenagers sneaking away for a night of adventure.

Back at the Flintstone Residence, Shirley and Tony exchanged contact information before she retreated to her
room. Soon after, Zacharias’ motorcade returned. He walked into her room, lingered for a few seconds, and then
quietly left.
Later in the evening, Zacharias had to attend to work, and Freddie brought a stack of documents for him to
review and sign.
As dinner tapproached, Zacharias and Tony shared a meal, but she expressed her disinterest in eating.
Understanding her feelings, Zacharias didn’t insist on her joining them for dinner. After he finished his meal, he
returned to his study to work.
Around 8.00PM, Tony messaged Shirley to inform her that he had booked a private area and they could leave at
8.30PM.
She stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, reading Tony’s message. Realizing her attire was unfit for a bar, she
began to search through her wardrobe.
She opened her closet and spotted the tight- fitting miniskirt she had bought with Willow during their shopping
trip. At the time, she had thought of wearing it for Cole on a special occasion, but now, there was no chance to
show it to him.
She slipped into the miniskirt and added a khaki windbreaker. Her long hair cascaded down, and she exuded a
confident and stylish charm. Having grown up around men, she had a unique, self-assured allure.
As Shirley descended the stairs, Tony was captivated. He watched in awe as she gracefully made her way down.
She emitted an aura of independence and strength. At that moment, he felt a sense of inadequacy, realizing that
he may not be the kind of man deserving of her but rather someone more like Zacharias, a mature and
composed man..
“Let's go!” he whispered, his voice tinged with excitement. “I just checked, and my uncle is still working. He
won't notice us.”

She nodded and followed him outside. Then, Tony started the car, and they drove off.
In the study, Zacharias heard the sound of a vehicle and recognized that it was Tony's car. He furrowed his brow
while wondering where Tony was going so late, but he didn’t want to interfere with his private life as long as he
didn’t cause trouble.
Unbeknownst to him, Shirley was in the car with Tony. He drove her to a high-end bar in the city, which was a
popular spot for wealthy young people. He knew the area well, and even his car had a VIP parking space. She
followed him to the entrance of the brightly lit bar, which exuded a cool, high-tech atmosphere and a sense of
excitement.
“This place opened a year ago, and it's packed every night. The atmosphere inside is amazing,” Tony said. He
was excited today because he was bringing a beautiful woman to the bar, which was quite exhilarating.
However, he didn’t dare to have any ulterior motives toward Shirley. In his heart, he had already categorized her
as a good friend and a close comrade.
He was aware of his place and knew that he wasn’t worthy of pursuing her romantically.. Nevertheless, taking
her out to have fun made him feel accomplished and added to their strong bond as friends.
