Lenora casually said to Zachary as she got out of bed to freshen up. “Stay here for now. Once Sophia leaves for work, get someone to bring you some clothes.”
Zachary hummed as he lay under the covers, a slight flush on his face. His lips were pale from dryness, and his voice slightly hoarse.
Lenora furrowed her brows lightly as she studied him carefully. “Are you… running a fever?”
Zachary raised his hand to feel his forehead, hesitating momentarily before replying. “I guess
Lenora was speechless.
After stepping out momentarily, she returned carrying a cup of hot tea and a box of fever–reducing medicine. She placed them on the bedside table and said. “Have some tea first. Later, get your secretary to deliver breakfast when they bring your clothes. Take the medicine after you’ve eaten.”
“Okay.”
Listening to her caring words, Zachary felt a sense of long–lost familiarity. Thank you.”
She often used to say similar things to him in the past.
It had been a long time since he last heard it

He lay there, gazing at her. “Nora, you’re so good to me
Lenora shot him a glare before turning to enter the bathroom.
After freshening up, she headed to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.
She told Zachary to get his secretary to deliver his breakfast as she was worried that any additional actions on her part might arouse Sophia’s suspicion.
After a moment of hesitation, Lenora fried four eggs and prepared four sandwiches.
If Sophia asks about it, I’ll say they are for the director.
Since Sophia had not come out, Lenora went to her door and called out, “Soph, it’s time to cat!
Three seconds later, a voice heavy with exhaustion echoed within the room. Nora, I forgot to mention I’m off work today. I won’t be having breakfast.”
Lenora’s breath hitched. All right…”
She brought breakfast into the room, portioning out two sandwiches and a glass of milk for Zachary. “Soph isn’t having breakfast this morning, so it’s yours.
Zachary glanced at her two sandwiches before propping himself up against the headboard. “All right. Thank you,” he said.
“By the way, Soph is off work today and catching up on some sleep. When you have someone deliver your

to keep it down. Don’t disturb her,” Lenora said somewhat sheepishly.
“Okay” Zachary arched an eyebrow, finding it amusing

Anyone can tell she’s afraid Sophia would discover me here, but she framed it as not wanting to disturb her.
After finishing breakfast, Zachary borrowed Lenora’s phone to call Miles.
As for Lenora, she took her script and headed for the film set. Before leaving, she repeatedly instructed him not to disturb Sophia.
Roughly twenty minutes after Lenora left, Miles arrived with Zachary’s clothes.
He knocked on the door forcefully. “Is anyone there?”
Five minutes later, Sophia, clad in her pajamas, opened the door with a disgruntled expression. She glared at the man standing before her and asked, “Who are you?”
Miles cleared his throat and shook the clothes in his hand. “Hello, you must be Ms. Tortell, right? I’m Miles Lancaster, Mr. Zachary Fuller’s secretary. I’m here to deliver his clothes.”
“Why are you delivering Zachary’s clothes…”
Realization sank in as Sophia spoke, and she gaped at him in disbelief. “What did you just say? Can you repeat that?” she exclaimed.
Miles repeated, “I came to deliver clothes to Mr. Fuller
“A–Are you saying Zachary is here right now?” Sophia pointed toward the living room behind her, her words jumbled in her flustered state.
“Yes.” Miles nodded with a straight face. “Mr. Fuller told me over the phone that he’s in Ms. Wilkin’s room?
Sophia was flabbergasted. That darned Lenora! She truly went downstairs yesterday. I can’t believe this girl dared to put on an act, claiming she only mopped the floor because i was dirty and her pant leg got splashed while she was wringing out the mop! No wonder Lenora reacted so strongly when I was going to her room. Looks like I was right. She was hiding a man inside. No, a scoundrel!
Sophia plopped down on the couch, watching Miles enter Lenora’s room.
Not long after, the door creaked open. Zachary stepped out, dressed in a neat and clean suit.
Miles trailed behind him.
Upon hearing the sound, Sophia looked over, her irritation surging uncontrollably.
She suppressed her anger and forced a fake smile, saying. “Mr. Fuller, when did you arrive? How come I wasn’t aware? Don’t tell me you can turn invisible?”
Detecting the mockery in Sophia’s words, Zachary smiled lightly and took a seat opposite her. “My apologies, Ms. Tortell. Last night, Nora mentioned you were asleep, so I didn’t dare disturb you.”
The corner of Sophia’s mouth twitched. Lenora!

Zachary continued, “Thank you for your long–standing care and understanding toward Nora, Ms. Tortell Without you, Nora might not have been able to move on so quickly, and I’m deeply grateful. Please don’t hesitate to ask me if you need anything. I know you hold a significant prejudice against me due to certain past events, and it may take time for you to change your perception of me. However, I hope you can temporarily set aside your hostility. After all, you’re Nom’s good friend, and I’m her husband. We both want what’s best for her, not to put her in a difficult position.”
Taking this time as an example, Lenora knew Sophia didn’t like her interacting with Zachary as she was looking out for her, and Lenora couldn’t bear to disappoint her friend. However, she also couldn’t help being soft–hearted toward Zachary Caught between a rock and a hard place, her actions ultimately resembled those of a secret lover, as seen the day before.
Sophia looked at Zachary and chuckled lightly. “This is the first time I realized you have quite the way with words, Mr. Fuller.”
She couldn’t refute what he said.
Naturally, she understood that the root of the problem lies with Lenora, not Zachary,
Lenora has deflected! Despite claiming she wouldn’t remarry Zachary, her actions gradually show signs
softening.
Sophia was deeply frustrated. However, she understood she wasn’t Lenora and could never truly empathize with her feelings.
Matters of the heart are as personal as drinking water. Only the individual can truly discern its temperature. Since I can’t change Lenora’s choice, I can only be her support, encouraging and comforting her.
Thanks for the compliment,” he said.
Sophia stated, “I understand everything you said. I’ll reserve my hostility toward you but also respect Nora’s decisions. If you truly love her, treat her well and change my impression of you.”
“Of course,”
Zachary stood up, “I won’t impose any longer. Get some rest, Ms. Tortell.”
Sophia chuckled inwardly. How could I possibly sleep anymore at this point?
“By the way, don’t let her know about today’s events,” Zachary paused and added.
Otherwise, Lenora would be embarrassed.
On the set, Lenora had arrived early and spent the entire time by the director’s side. She listened as the director instructed the other actors, studying their movements and learning from them.
After a scene, it was almost her turn, so she headed to the makeup room to get styled.
Having nothing to do while getting her makeup done, Lenora texted Zachary: Have you left? You didn’t disturb Soph, did you?
Zachary swiftly texted back: No.
Lenora let out a sigh of relief.

Soon, it was her turn. Being her first time acting, she struggled to get into character and ended up with a failed take.
She fully embraced her character during the second attempt and flawlessly completed the first scene in
Tyler was very pleased. Perhaps due to Lenora’s work experience and hobbies, she had precise control over her on–camera performance and seemed to understand exactly the effect he wanted.
Then they began shooting the second scene…..
After wrapping up the afternoon’s filming. Lenora returned home. She subtly observed Sophia’s expression, only relaxing when she found no abnormalities.
Noticing Lenora’s gaze. Sophia turned her back to her, her lips twitching slightly.
