Chapter 333 Act In A Film
Lenora leaned against the door, letting out a sigh of relief. Opening her eyes, she saw Zachary standing in the middle of the room. His hair was disheveled, his body bare. His well–defined abs trailed down, disappearing beneath a bath towel.
The bath towel he wore around his lower body was pink, one of hers. The color didn’t go against his naturally fair skin. Instead, it made his skin appear even more porcelain–like.
Once the year had passed, Zachary would turn thirty.
His features were sharply defined, and his bone structure was exceptional. Time hadn’t traces on him as he looked as youthful and vigorous as ever.
left any noticeable
A warm flush spread to Lenora’s ears. Quickly averting her eyes, she remarked, “What are you standing around for? Shouldn’t you be taking a bath?”
A glint of amusement flashed in Zachary’s eyes. “All right. By the way, didn’t you mention she was asleep?”
“Couldn’t she have woken up halfway through?” Lenora glared at him, exasperated. Why is he asking so many questions?
“Yes.” Zachary curved his lips into a smile before heading to the bathroom.
Lenora heaved a sigh of relief and sat down on the edge of the bed.
Listening to the pitter–patter of water in the bathroom, she felt a whirlwind of emotions, unsure what to
do next. She picked up the script and aimlessly flipped through a couple of pages.
I’ve decided not to let Zachary bewitch me anymore and not to associate with him too closely, but…
Lenora leaned back on the bed, letting out a silent wail.
She seemed to have fallen into a web named Zachary, from which she couldn’t seem to escape.
It seemed as though she was stuck in a loop, constantly going in circles at the same spot.
Suddenly, Sophia’s voice sounded from outside. “Lenora, the tea’s done. Do you want some?” she asked.
Lenora was about to refuse the drink, but a thought struck her and she changed her mind. “Save a cup for me, will you?”
Once Sophia had returned to her room, Lenora ventured out to the kitchen to fetch a cup of tea.
moment later, Zachary emerged from the bathroom, his hair dripping with water and still covered only -in a bath towel.
The droplets of water that clung to his body or trickled down from his hair were crystal clear. They slid slowly down his fair skin, tracing the contours of his firm muscles.
Lenora glanced up at him before lowering her gaze again, pretending to be engrossed in the script. “There’s some tea over there. You should drink some.”

“All right.” Zachary nodded, walking over to pick up the cup.
The room was steeped in silence, the sound of swallowing particularly noticeable.
Lenora saw Zachary’s Adam’s apple bob, a trickle of water escaping from the corner of his mouth. It traced a path down his neck, flowing to his collarbone.
She averted her gaze and set the script aside. “Call your secretary to bring you some clothes… and have them bring some food when they come.”
Lenora would make it as if she had ordered takeout, so there would be an explanation if Sophia were to ask.
Zachary paused, setting down his cup. “My phone got wet, and it won’t turn on. Can I borrow yours?” he asked.
Lenora unlocked her phone and handed it over to him.
Zachary stepped forward and took the phone.
His mature male figure suddenly loomed larger, causing Lenora to avert her gaze.
Zachary dialed Miles number.
A few seconds later, the call connected. “Hello? Ms. Wilkin?” Miles greeted.
There was silence on the other end of the phone.
Puzzled, Miles asked, “Hello? Hello? Ms. Wilkin? What’s the matter?”
There was still no response on the other end of the phone.
Roughly ten seconds later, a faint female voice came through from the other end. “Did no one pick up?”
Miles was befuddled. Hadn’t I picked up?
“Yes. No one is picking up.” The male voice became clearer as if he was holding the phone.
After speaking, a finger subtly and swiftly swiped across the screen.
The call ended.
Miles listened to the dial tone on the other end of the line, his eyes wide ashe stared at the phone screen.
I thought I heard Mr. Fuller’s voice?
In an instant, Miles understood something. He quickly messaged the secretaries‘ chat group, texting: If Ms. Wilkin calls you, do not answer!
Then, Zachary dialed the numbers of his two secretaries, but both went unanswered.
He looked at Lenora with a troubled expression. “Perhaps they are occupied at the moment.”
Such a coincidence?

Lenora took the phone and glanced at the call history. Indeed, the call had not gone through. Zachary had deleted the call with Miles while he was inputting the other secretaries numbers,
Hence, Lenora assumed his first call was to another secretary and asked, “Didn’t you call Mr. Lancaster?”
“I’m not sure if he finished his work today. I’ll try giving him a call,” Zachary said.
He dialed Miles‘ number.
After a few dozen seconds, no one answered and the call automatically ended.
Zachary showed Lenora the screen.
“All right then.”
She furrowed her brows and added, “Have a seat first. I need to read the script, so don’t disturb me. Try calling again later.”
“Reading a script?” Zachary raised an eyebrow, his gaze falling on the script by her side. “Are you going to act in a film?”
Lenora hummed in response.
“What script?” he asked.
“The one from last time. It was originally for Susanna, but she couldn’t do it. They couldn’t find a suitable replacement in time, so the director asked me to step in.”
Upon hearing this, Zachary’s expression darkened slightly. If I remember correctly, this character is a seductive vixen, and her attire is more revealing than the typically modest clothing of respectable families.
“If you’re interested in acting, I can help you choose some good roles,” Zachary offered.
“No need.” Lenora flatly refused. “I’m just filling in for the director. Besides, the role of Melody Sullivan is quite good.”
Though she’s the antagonist, she isn’t a mindless one.
Zachary lowered his gaze.
After the divorce, she delved into photography and acting. Her life seems much more enriched than before. I hadn’t noticed her having any particular hobbies previously. After work, she would head straight home if there was nothing
else to attend to.
He sat on the edge of the bed and said nothing else.
The room fell silent
Lenora set down the script, picked up her pajamas, and headed to the bathroom for a shower.
After she finished blow–drying he
