My Baby's Daddy

Chapter 2544

“Before, she never bothered me, but now that she has, Zacharias will definitely fire her.” Jesslyn grew more confident in her thoughts. She believed that by playing the card of her childhood friendship with Zacharias, a mere bodyguard wouldn’t stand a chance.

Secretly, Tony rolled his eyes at her attitude. Though he was a man, he had no good impression of a girl like her; instead, he was disgusted. How can she lack so much self- awareness? Initially, he had wanted to help her out of sympathy and prevent her from ruining her life, but now it seemed she was determined to do so on her own.

“Jesslyn, do you know what kind of girls Uncle Zacharias likes?” Immediately, she showed interest. “What kind?” “He likes sensible and reasonable girls.” “Are you suggesting that I’m unreasonable?” she asked indignantly, thinking that he was making fun of her..

He quickly waved his hand and chuckled. “No, absolutely not. You’re the most reasonable girl I’ve ever met. By the way, let me go out for a moment.” After he left the room, he headed over to Shirley’s room. He knocked on her door, and Shirley opened it from the inside. “What’s wrong, Mr. Tony?” With a somewhat exasperated expression, Tony placed his hands on his hips as he looked at her. “We’re already so close. Why are you being so formal?” She smiled at his words. “Do you need anything from me?” “Did you throw a stone at Jesslyn? She’s demanding that Uncle Zacharias fire you.” “Oh,” she replied nonchalantly. Seeing her calm demeanor, he said with a smile, “I know Uncle Zacharias won’t fire you.” “Why?” she asked.

“Don’t act like you don’t know. He’s so fond of you; he wouldn’t bear to fire you,” Tony explained.

At his words, Shirley immediately let out a cough. “Please don’t spread this kind of information around, Mr. Tony. It might lead to misunderstandings.” Tony pointed to his eyes and said, “I saw it with my own eyes. It can’t be fake.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

Don’t worry. I won’t tell anyone. I’ll keep it a secret until Uncle Zacharias wins you over.” Regardless, she couldn’t do anything with him.

“Mr. Flintstone is on his way back.” “Wow! He’s even giving up his work for you,” he teased. Shirley couldn’t help but glare at him. “Stop saying such things.” As he scrutinized her from head to toe, he fearlessly said, “Having you be my aunt is not a bad idea.” Shirley’s hand shot up instantly, and Tony immediately burst into laughter and ran to the other end of the corridor.

Upon seeing that, she couldn’t help but be amused by his antics. She leaned against the door frame, turned her face, and glanced at her bed. Thinking about that drunken night when Zacharias escorted her to her room, and she mistook him for Cole when she kissed him made her blush. Such incidents can never happen again.

Just then, Jesslyn came out of Tony’s room, seething with anger as she approached Shirley’s door. As she touched the back of her head, which was still sore from being hit, she couldn’t be satisfied with just a few curses.

“Get out here,” she demanded arrogantly as she stood at Shirley’s door with her hands on her hips. Shirley wasn’t one to back down from a fight, so she opened the door and looked at Jesslyn. “Do you need something, Miss Kurt?” Jesslyn sneered. “You better pack your bags right now. When Zacharias returns, you’ll need to get out of here immediately.” Unfazed, Shirley crossed her arms and replied, “I can do that after Mr. Flintstone returns.” Jesslyn’s anger flushed her face red. “How can a mere bodyguard be so arrogant?” “Even if I’m a bodyguard, I don’t consider myself lower than you,” Shirley retorted. It irked her that Jesslyn consistently belittled the profession of a bodyguard.

Seeing her confident demeanor, Jesslyn became even more infuriated. “In my eyes, being a bodyguard is a lowly position. I look down on it. What’s the matter? Are you going to hit me?” she taunted Shirley.

At once, Shirley clenched her fist; she wouldn’t tolerate this kind of provocation.

“I dare you to hit me! Come on! I’m not afraid.” Jesslyn taunted further.
