Chapter 8 How Generous She swallowed hard, suppressing the sadness in her throat as she said, But Susannas image doesnt match the products theme. Susanna was developing her career abroad, so she had adopted a style that looked coolly elegant and grand. That is your problem, not mine, Zachary said. I know you can handle it. This endorsement is crucial for Susanna, so you need to oversee it entirely. Lenora felt numb all over, her face stiff. She didnt know whether to laugh or cry. If Zachary values my abilities so much, then why would he ruthlessly hand his first love over to me, his legitimate wife? Zachary, do you really see me as a puppet that is incapable of feeling pain or sorrow? All right, then. I will give it my all. Lenoras voice sounded as though it was filled with shards of glass, hoarse and barely recognizable. Every word was uttered with all the strength she could muster. In the bathroom, Lenora was retching non-stop, but nothing was coming out. She gently stroked her belly in an attempt to soothe the baby inside. The mirrors on the wall reflected her pale face and slightly reddened eyes. Lenora continuously splashed cold water on her face. Its all right… Its okay… Were just making Susanna the spokesperson and following up on her advertisement shooting and placement? This is my field of expertise, so I will definitely have no issues! Lenora looked at her reflection in the mirror and tried hard to muster a faint smile. I promised Father that after he was gone, I would remain strong no matter what I encountered. He will be watching over me from the heavens, so I must not disappoint him, nor let my baby down! Upon returning to the office, Lenora called Yaras agent back. She then apologized and placated her by offering Yara the endorsement of another small brand of perfume she had under her control. She also promised that Yara would be the first to be considered for any suitable advertisements in the future. Only then did Lily finally let the matter rest. After hanging up the phone, Lenora asked her assistant to bring in Susannas detailed information, and then she held a meeting with her departments staff. After a busy day, they finally settled on three potential plans. Lenora instructed her assistant to contact Susannas agent to arrange a meeting to discuss endorsement matters. Leaning against the back of the chair, Lenora pinched the bridge of her nose and tiredly looked at the divorce agreement beside her. She then casually flipped through it. Zachary was quite generous when it came to the breakup fee, not stingy in the slightest. Two mansions, two fancy cars, and twenty million… Arent you the generous one, Mr. Fuller? Lenora chuckled wryly in her heart. Shortly after Lenora arrived at the meeting room, the operations director, the product manager, the chief designer, and other staff members also arrived one after another in quick succession. However, Susanna and her team were nowhere to be seen. Lenora told her assistant, Go contact Susannas agent and tell them to hurry it up. In a short while, the assistant came over and said, Ive spoken to them, Ms. They said theyll be here soon. Having waited for most of the morning, the operations director and the others were already showing signs of discontent. With a look of annoyance, Lenora asked, Whats the phone number of Susannas agent? Send it to me. The assistant was about to respond when a group of people came in through the door. The staff hurriedly greeted them, Hello, Ms. Fuller, youre here too? The two people leading the way were none other than Susanna and Zachary. She was dressed in a long, yellow dress and intimately holding onto Zacharys arm. Zachary, who wore a crisp suit, was wearing the one she had carefully selected and laid out at the end of the bed in the morning. Seeing the intimate behavior between the two, everyone exchanged glances, understanding something. Rumors have long suggested that the actress, Ms. Carston, is Mr. Fullers first love. It looks like the rumors were true, after all. They really are a perfect match! A faint ache stirred in Lenoras heart. Her fingers clenched tightly, but she maintained a calm expression as she stepped forward and said, Mr. Fuller, Ms. Carston, now that youre here, lets get started right away. Zachary said he would still treat me like a sister even after our divorce, but I know all too well that it is absolutely impossible to remain friends with someone I have truly loved. I simply cant bring myself to do it, especially after seeing him acting all lovey-dovey with Susanna. After divorcing him, I will be sure to keep my distance. Susanna saw Lenora and, with a touch of surprise, grabbed her hand as she exclaimed, Nora, youre here too? Lenora cast a glance at Susannas hand, subtly withdrew her own, and nodded slightly. Susanna seemed oblivious as she continued, It has only been three years since we last saw each other, and youve already become so distant. I remember how you used to address me affectionately while you were still in university! No one seemed shocked when they heard that. Lenora was Zacharys adopted sister, and Susanna seemed to be quite close with her, so it was likely that something good was about to happen between Susanna and Zachary. Lenora had always known that she was no match for Susanna.
