The day quickly turned into an evening. Corinne arrived as she came to prepare dinner, and when she walked over, Shirley could see that her sharp gaze was filled with resentment.

“I’ll stay and attend to Mr. Flintstone tonight. You can leave,” Corinne said to her. Shirley frowned. “The captain didn’t tell me to leave.”

Zacharias also didn’t instruct her to leave. She couldn’t leave her post without authorization. “Hah! You think you’re so important, huh?”

Corinne mocked before heading toward the kitchen. “Mr. Flintstone’s nephew is also here. You need to cook for two people.” Shirley reminded her.

Corinne didn’t say anything, but she would follow Shirley’s reminder. Tonight, she hoped to be the one Zacharias chose to stay in the mansion.
