Chapter 4 His First Love

• Lenora held her phone, feeling a heartache that made it hard for her to breathe.
• It turns out that right after getting off the plane, Zachary took Susanna to meet his friends. They all knew and gave them their blessing. I am the only one who was kept in the dark.
• In these three years, only the Fuller family knew about their marriage.
• He never introduced her to his friends, and even if they happened to meet, everyone assumed she was a foster daughter of the Fuller family.
• The driver arrived at the garage to get the car and saw Lenora still in her car. Puzzled, he called out, “Mrs. Fuller?”
• Lenora quickly wiped away her tears. Pretending not to hear, she immediately started the car to leave.
• Lenora wouldn't bring personal emotions into work.
• Right now, all she could do was distract herself through work.
• Lenora found Zachary's email, attached the proposal, and clicked send.
• Soon, Zachary replied. He was as concise as ever: Approved. Keep an eye on the follow-up.
• Lenora paused. She replied with a simple “okay” and quickly delegated the task.
• After work, Lenora received a message from Zachary: Something came up tonight. Head home without me.
• Lenora pursed her lips, another wave of pain rising in her like needles. Her fingers trembled as she typed: Okay.
• In the past, she was considered a higher-up of Fuller Group. He would inform her about his social events or which person in charge he was meeting.
• However, these past two days, he dismissed her with a brief “something came up.”
• She assumed he made that up to keep Susanna company.
• Zachary: I brought you a gift during my business trip but forgot to give it to you. It's in my suitcase. You can get it yourself.
• Lenora: Okay.
• Looking at the short reply he received, Zachary suddenly felt a bit annoyed. He leaned back in his chair, pinching the bridge of his nose.
• His assistant, Miles Lancaster, knocked on the door. “Mr. Fuller, Ms. Carston is here.”
• Lenora left the office, hearing a few remaining employees discussing something outside.
• “Was that lady who came looking for Mr. Fuller just now his girlfriend? She seems to have a great figure!”
• “Too bad she's wearing a mask.”
• “Did any of you feel like Mr. Fuller's girlfriend's eyes resemble Susanna Carston's?”
• “Are you talking about the Hofcaster's superstar? But isn't she developing her career abroad?”
• “I think she and Mr. Fuller look good together!”
• Someone noticed her and greeted, “Ahem, Ms. Wilkin.”
• The discussions ceased, and everyone greeted, “Ms. Wilkin.”
• Lenora lowered her gaze, her expression indifferent. “It's past working hours now. You can continue talking.”
• After saying that, she left quickly, walking with urgency. The corners of her eyes were tinged red, and her heart was filled with a bitter sadness.
• She couldn't wait to escape, afraid to witness a heartbreaking scene.
• Has Susanna come to the company to find him already? We haven't finalized our divorce yet. Does he remember that his wife is still in the company?
• The employees behind her started talking again, but they had changed the topic.
• “Ms. Wilkin is so beautiful. Every time I see her, I'm a bit scared. No wonder she's Mr. Fuller's sister.”
• A newly hired employee was surprised. “Ms. Wilkin is Mr. Fuller's sister?”
• “Pfft, they are not related by blood. Her father forced Old Mr. Fuller to take her in. Otherwise, could she enter Fuller Group?”
• “Who told you that?”
• “Someone at the Public Relations Department.”
• “Actually, Ms. Wilkin is a nice person.”
• In the underground parking lot, Lenora fastened her seatbelt. As she looked up, she saw two figures.
• Zachary was wearing the white suit she had picked for him that morning, making his tall figure stand out.
• Beside him was a woman, wearing a mask and a cap, intimately linking her arm with his. She was talking to Zachary, who slightly tilted his head to listen to her attentively with a gentle expression.
• The woman seemed to be saying something, coquettishly shaking Zachary's arm.
• Zachary smiled tenderly and nodded. His mouth seemed to form the word “okay.”
• Susanna, his first love, was back for real.
• The bright red tie stabbed Lenora's eyes.
• That was the tie she picked to celebrate her pregnancy.
• Now, he was wearing it to go on a date with his first love.
