My Baby’s Daddy

Before Tony could come around, an annoyed voice commanded, “Get out.”

Finally, Tony snapped out of it, and he quickly apologized with a grin, “Sorry for the intrusion. You two, please continue.”

With that, he scurried off, closing the door behind him. Shirley’s face turned red with embarrassment. Great, there’s no clarifying the situation anymore! And what was I thinking last night, sleeping in Zacharias’ bed?

She lifted the covers, got out of bed, and hastily opened the door to leave. Just as she stepped out, she saw Tony still there. However, he didn’t make fun of her. Instead, he asked, “Goddess, did you sleep well last night?”

“It’s not what you think. Your uncle took sleeping pills, and I was just keeping him company…” Shirley tried to explain, but Tony’s eyes were teasing, making her realize that the explanation was futile.

“Never mind. Nothing happened between us,” she said and went downstairs. After returning to her room, she took a few breaths to calm down. Good Lord, that was embarrassing!

Twenty minutes later, Zacharias came downstairs dressed in a classic black suit, exuding a captivating charm.

“Sir, the convoy is ready. We can leave now,” Freddie said.

“How did you handle those people from last night?” Zacharias asked.

“They’ve all been arrested.”
