Lenora stared at the phone on the ground, standing still for a while before slowly bending down to pick it up. Lenora, stop humiliating yourself. From the very beginning. Zachary's heart is biased. He'll always side with Susanna. As for yesterday's events, as long as Zachary wanted to know the truth, he would understand it with a simple investigation. However, he chose to believe in Susanna's words instead. Is this what "men find their first love most unforgettable" means?
Seeing Lenora standing still and daydreaming, Milly carefully approached to remind the former. "Ms. Wilkin, Ms. Wilkin and Ms. Tortell are still waiting for you in the lounge."
"All right, I understand." Lenora quickly composed herself and strode toward the lounge.
"How did it go? What did Mr. Fuller say?" Sophia immediately asked when she saw Lenora
come in.
Fiona eagerly awaited with bated breath.
Lenora shook her head.
Fiona sighed.
Sophia exclaimed, "I really didn't expect this! I thought Mr. Fuller was a just and logical person, but it turns out he's a foolish person. What's next, then?"
"I'll go
and talk to them to see if we can make some minor adjustments and borrow some props. Fifi, I'll need you to keep a close eye on things during post-production. I've got a bit of an idea now. I'll send you a sample image tonight," Lenora said. "All right."Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
Lenora returned to the makeup room, re-engaging in communication with Susanna's team, and making minor adjustments based on the existing makeup and styling.
Lenora was already feeling a bit impatient inside. However, as the person in charge of MQ. they were all in the same boat. She had to take responsibility for her own work.
If the endorsement didn't perform well, Lenora, as the person in charge of MQ, would definitely be affected.
The impact would be even greater for Susanna.
The last time Susanna and Zachary were photographed together, confirming Susanna as the spokesperson for MQ, the scene at the square seemed harmonious. However, in reality, it was a scene of intense conflict.

As a popular rising star, Yara had a considerable number of fans. After her endorsement deal was snatched away, Yara's team accepted Lenora's compensation. However, behind the scenes, they were also guiding the fans. The fans were voicing their grievances for Yara, even going as far as to vent their frustrations under Susanna's Twitter post.
If that endorsement didn't go as planned, Susanna would undoubtedly face a fair share of ridicule and mockery.
Moreover, that was her first endorsement since returning to her home country. Thus, the endorsement was important to Susanna.
Susanna had no choice but to accept Lenora's suggestion.
Finally, the issue with the makeup was resolved.
The official shooting had finally begun.
After a busy day, the shooting was finally completed.
Lenora looked up toward the window, noticing that the sky had already darkened.
She stretched lazily, took her car keys, and headed to the parking lot.
Upon reaching the open-air parking lot, she suddenly heard someone calling her name.
"Lenora."
With a pleasant surprise, Lenora turned around and smiled. "Jonas, the superstar! Long time no see. What brings you here? Any announcements?"
Jonas walked up with a smile. "I thought I was mistaken, but it really is you. I happen to have a magazine cover to shoot these next couple of days. Why are you getting off work so late?" "I've been a bit busy with work lately."
"You're shooting an advertisement for MQ, right? I saw it on the news."
"Yes. What about you? After finishing the magazine cover shoot, do you have any other work lined up?"
"It's over. I've been working too hard recently, and I'm just about to take a break these few days. I happen to be free today, so let me treat you to a meal. It's been a while since we last
mel.
After some thought, Lenora said, "I'm afraid I won't have time tonight, I still have some work to discuss with Fiona."
"Are you in a hurry? If not, let's invite Fiona to join us."

Jonas had collaborated with Fiona before. They were well-acquainted.
"All right. then. I wouldn't want to be impolite. By the way, how are your parents' health these days?"
Leaning forward, Jonas gently plucked the dry leaves from Lenora's hair, his eyes filled with warmth. "My parents have always been in good health. They haven't seen you for a while and they miss you. Why don't you come over to our house sometime?" "Sure. Once I get through this busy period, I'll definitely visit them," Lenora said with a smile.
While waiting for Fiona, Lenora casually chatted with Jonas, asking him if he had any upcoming shows to broadcast.
Her connection with Jonas could be traced back to their elementary school days. At that time, her parents had recently divorced, and she was living in the countryside with her grandparents.
Jonas was the neighbor of her grandparents. Back then, she and Jonas would often climb trees and play by the river together.
Recalling the youthful recklessness she once shared with Jonas, Lenora felt as if it was just yesterday.
Later on, Jonas' parents made some money from their business and the whole family moved
away.
For many years to come, Lenora never saw Jonas again until Jonas made a name for himself in the entertainment industry. Last year, they collaborated on a different brand, marking their official reunion. Upon learning that Lenora's grandparents and father had passed away, Jonas felt a deep sense. of regret. He even visited their graves to pay his respects.
Lenora had once visited Jonas' parents at their home. The old neighbors reunited after many years, getting along harmoniously. During the New Year, Lenora even went to Jonas' house to share a meal. However, Jonas had always been busy with work and the last time the two met was about half a year ago.
Concurrently, there was a black Cayenne across the street.
The man inside casually caught sight of two people in the open-air parking lot, narrowing his eyes to get a better look. That must be the person Lenora likes. Even from a great distance, he could see the smile brimming on her face.
