Zachary was momentarily stunned. 

“Lenora.” 

Lenora didn’t respond. She simply turned over and continued to sleep. 

Are you kidding me? 

Before long, the sound of even breathing filled the room. 

Zachary was so uncomfortable that he just couldn’t fall asleep.

He felt like a girl who had been exploited without receiving anything in return, while the woman beside him seemed like a scoundrel who would turn his back without a second thought once he got what he wanted. 

The latest line of apparel from MQ had entered its promotional phase. 

Susanna’s advertisements were divided into several different series, which were officially launched one after the other. They appeared on various major platforms and the homepages of social media sites. 

Previously, with Susanna’s makeup scandal, both the media and netizens were closely monitoring this endorsement 

Lenora also ensured that her employees were always aware of the prevailing trends. When necessary, they could hire ghostwriters. 

Aside from the online platform, the offline promotion of MQ was also in full swing. 

In Jacaster, large LED screens in several squares were already displaying advertisements featuring Susanna. Additionally, MQ’s advertisements were visible everywhere–on subways, at bus stations, airports, and more. 

Lenora had been genuinely busy for quite some time. By the time she managed to catch her breath, she found herself scrolling through a post about the film production booting ceremony of Cloudwater City on social media. The post was from three days ago. 

“Ms. Wilkin“-Milly rushed in from outside, not even bothering to knock-“Ms. Johansen is sick. What should we do?” 

Milly was referring to Yasmin Johansen, who served as the spokesperson for MQ 

Three days later, they were scheduled to have a live–streamed product launch. As was customary each year, Yasmin would take the stage to present and explain the product. 

“Sick? How is she? Is it serious? Lenora put down the work in her hands. 

“Earlier this morning. Ms. Johansen was suddenly rushed to the hospital due to severe abdominal pain. It turned out to be acute appendicitis, requiring surgery. The doctor mentioned that she would have to stay in the hospital for at least three days post–surgery. I’m afraid…”

Seeing Lenora remain silent, Milly repeated with worry. “What should we do now? Should we get Ms. Reed to do it?” 

Francis Reed was the product manager of MQ primarily responsible for liaising between the designers and the factory. 

“Get me Ms. Johansen’s manuscript and then you can get on with your tasks. There’s no need to worry.” 

Seeing that Lenora was calm, Milly relaxed, handed her the manuscript, and sent her a digital copy. 

Before she left, Lenora asked, “You’ve contacted Ms. Carston in advance, right?” 

“Yes, Ms. Carston will take a leave from the film crew when the time comes.” 

“Okay, you should head back first.” 

The brand launch for MQ would take place on September 5th. 

It was the day that countless netizens had been eagerly anticipating. They were ready to enjoy the show. 

Netizen A: Is the rumor true? Surely Lenora isn’t planning to take the stage herself, is she? 

Netizen B: According to the usual practice, Zachary would kick off the event with an opening speech. Susanna, being the spokesperson, would have to be there as well. If Lenora were to join them on stage, it would indeed be quite a spectacle. 

Netizen C: A huge drama is about to unfold 

Rumors had begun circulating on the internet yesterday, suggesting that MQ’s spokesperson had fallen ill. It was said that the product presentation at the upcoming press conference would be personally handled! by Lenora, the brand director. 

Under normal circumstances, it certainly wouldn’t have attracted much attention. 

However, Lenora had been in the eye of the storm not long ago. Now, with the announcement of the press conference featuring the three key figures–Lenora, Zachary, and Susanna–the internet was set ablaze. Netizens were eagerly anticipating the day of the press conference. 

As the brand director, Lenora, and the spokesperson, Susanna, were likely to interact with each other based on the already released schedule. 

When the wife and the mistress shared the same stage, it was bound to be quite the spectacle. 

Milly scanned the trending list and muttered, “Is this going to be okay?” 

A coworker nearby comforted, “Of course. Just relax. Ms. Wilkin must have her reasons for doing this.” 

Indeed, Lenora was the one who orchestrated the release of this piece of gossip through various paid social media accounts. 

She was ready to take the stage herself. 

Even though the heat surrounding her hadn’t subsided the slightest scandal could stir up a significant amount of buzz for MQ.

In addition to Zachary and Susanna’s existing popularity, the press conference had already topped the trending topics even before it began. Netizens were eagerly awaiting its commencement. 

The day before the press conference, Zachary sent a message to Lenora before clocking out from work Wait for me tonight. Let’s go home together. 

Lenora replied: Okay. 

After work, she stayed a little longer in the office, then sent Zachary a message, letting him know she’d be waiting for him in the car. 

Lenora went down to the basement level first, settling into the back seat to spend some time on her phone. 

Roughly ten minutes had passed before Zachary finally appeared in the underground parking lot. 

He pulled open the backseat door, settled into the car, and said to the driver. “Let’s go.” 

The driver started the car, pulling out of the underground parking lot. 

“I heard Ms. Johansen is sick?” Zachary asked. 

“Yeah, she fell ill a couple of days ago and is still in the hospital. I just visited her yesterday,” Lenora answered truthfully 

Zachary looked at her. “Do you really plan on handling tomorrow’s press conference by yourself?” 

When he saw the trending topic, he instantly knew it was Lenora’s idea. 

Her marketing strategy was incredibly successful. 

Lenora looked at him as well, their eyes meeting. “Is there a problem?” 

“No, as long as you’re not afraid.” 

“There’s nothing to be afraid of. 

Lenora didn’t enjoy being in the spotlight or having attention focused on her, but that certainly didn’t mean she was afraid. 

Just like how her father, a journalist back then, could bravely face countless public audiences, she, too, 

could do it.
