As expected, the images of Lenora and Zachary, who had been ambushed by reporters but never showed their faces, quickly made their way onto the internet.
In the eyes of the online community, to respond would seem like a sly rebuttal, while avoidance implied guilt.
The public opinion escalated dramatically.
Sophia couldn’t help but share this video with the comment: Those with a clear conscience need not be afraid of those with malicious intent.
Ever since she stood up for Lenora during the makeup incident, netizens knew she was Lenora’s friend. They followed her on social media and ended up criticizing her along with Lenora..
Sophia was not afraid and swiftly started a heated exchange with the netizens under her own Twitter post.
That afternoon, a meeting was held on short notice. After exiting the conference room, Lenora, with a document in hand, made her way toward the CEO’s office.
“Ms. Wilkin,” Miles approached from the office area, “are you here to see Mr. Fuller?”
“I have a document that requires his signature.”
“Mr. Fuller isn’t in the office right now. If it’s not urgent, you could leave the document with me. I’ll pass to him once he returns.”
Glancing at her watch, Lenora noticed it was already four in the afternoon.
“All right.” Lenora handed the folder to Miles. “Our collaboration partner is pushing us, so I’d prefer to have this by the end of the day.”
“Absolutely.”
Lenora returned to her office to work.
Before she knew it, it was time to clock out.
She glanced at her WhatsApp, but there were no new messages. Hence, she took the initiative to open the chat window with Miles and asked: Has Mr. Fuller not returned yet?
Even through the screen, Miles could feel the chilling tension. He carefully replied: No… he must have been held up by some important matter…
Important matter? Keeping Susanna company is indeed very important.
Miles gently suggested: Why don’t you give him a call?

Lenora picked up her phone and walked over to the window. She dialed Zachary’s number, listening as the dial tone echoed again and again. Finally, with a beep, the call ended automatically due to no one answering.

With a scoff, Lenora decided to leave work and head home first.

Not long after lying down on the bed, she heard her phone, which she had placed beside her pillow, ringing.
Lenora opened her eyes and stole a glance. The light from the phone screen in the darkness was somewhat glaring, and the name “Zachary” on the screen was particularly prominent.
Lenora rejected the call and turned off her phone, all in one smooth motion.
At 10:40 PM, the lights were still on in a two–story mansion located in a certain residential area.
In the mansion’s private courtyard, several electric scooters were parked, while two cars were stationed outside.
The locals in the vicinity were all aware of one thing – the mansion was not inhabited by an ordinary citizen. Instead, it had been rented out by an individual who had converted it into a workspace.
Those electric scooters and cars served as the means of transportation for the employees.
Their work hours were inconsistent, sometimes starting very early and other times ending quite late.
Once, a local elderly neighbor happened to ask the mansion’s landlord about the tenant. The landlord wasn’t too familiar with the details, only knowing that the tenant had mentioned their studio was for self- media work. As for the specifics, the landlord was unsure.
The neighbor could sense that the studio had been quite busy these past couple of days.
Those electric scooters had been parked in the yard since yesterday and hadn’t left since. In the trash bags tossed outside were quite a few instant pasta containers.
Inside the mansion, the employees were bustling about, too occupied to have dinner. It wasn’t until ten in the evening that they finally found time to make themselves some instant pasta.
They seemed to be having a tough time, yet they all wore smiles on their faces.
A tall man, while pouring water into his instant pasta container, chuckled and said, “Just bear with it for two more days. We’re sure to make a killing this time!”
“Just when I was worried about not having anything exciting, someone delivered it right to our doorstep!” another person chimed in.
“Yancy, why the long face?” the tall guy asked.
Yancy sighed and shook his head. “A couple of days ago, Fuller Group’s secrets were leaked. Zachary was not around, and all the top executives took the opportunity to get the police to arrest Wilkin, who didn’t even spend a full day in custody. Zachary returned overnight and got Wilkin released. The following day, the two cops who made the arrest were suspended…”
