The strong scent of alcohol wafted from him causing Lenora to furrow her brows and hold her breath.
Upon hearing the sound of the door locking, she felt a chill run down her spine. She calmed herself down and made the first move. “Zachary, have you lost your mind? Why did you bring me here?”
Zachary’s lips were tightly pressed together as he fixed his eyes on her.
Lenora tried to push him away with all her might, but he remained immovable.
Zachary curled his lips into a mocking smile. “You don’t know? Then why did you run away when you saw me?”
Lenora looked into his eyes. “I didn’t.”
“Are you sure?” Zachary asked with a playful tone, his Adam’s apple bobbing.
“Yes.” Lenora nodded fervently.
Zachary chuckled, his eyes growing darker. “In that case, since Connor is a promising prospect in the market and Trident Technologies is interested in him, why don’t you go and recommend him to me?”
Lenora paused for a couple of seconds before saying, “He also received an offer from Trident Technologies, but in the end, he chose Fuller Group. That shows that Fuller Group appeals to him more. There’s no point in recommending him to you now.”
“Since you won’t help me, I’ll go find him myself.”
After speaking, Zachary reached for the door handle.
Lenora’s expression shifted as she grabbed him immediately. “Zachary!”
Zachary looked down at her. “What’s wrong?”
Lenora was filled with hesitation.
Harrietta was just a child. Connor wouldn’t mind.
But Zachary was different.
If Connor were to find out that she attended the cocktail party with Zachary, their relationship, already hanging by a thread, might not continue.
It would be challenging to coax information out of him then.
Seeing that Lenora was silent, Zachary scoffed lightly. His large hand rested on the door, closing the distance between them even more. “Didn’t you say you didn’t run away? Are you that scared of him seeing
me?”
Is she really in love with Connor?
Lenora couldn’t help but lean back, pressing against the door to create some distance. “We’re already divorced. If he sees us attending the cocktail party together, it might lead to misunderstandings.”

Zachary pinned her against the door, scaling her lips with his. He kissed her roughly as though venting some sort of dissatisfaction.
He was scared.
He could be living in denial, but he didn’t want to hear those words coming from her lips.
Lenora’s eyes widened in shock. She shook her head in protest, her arms pushing forcefully against his chest. “Zachary… let… let me go…”
Zachary remained unmoved, even taking a step forward. He nudged her legs apart with his knee, gripped her chin with one hand, and restrained her wrists with the other.
He had just wanted to shut her up.
However, her lips were soft and sweet. The moment their lips met, it instantly sparked the memories of those nights in his mind.
He recalled Harrietta’s words.
He knew just how nice she smelled and how soft she was.
Those intimate memories simply refused to fade from his mind.
Suddenly, a surge of fiery passion erupted within Zachary, growing more intense as it burned.
Zachary couldn’t help but deepen the kiss, his hand gently brushing over her jawline, trailing down her, neck and behind her ears. The sensation of skin against skin sent shivers of delight through them, an undeniable desire permeating every touch.
Their bodies were pressed together, and Lenora immediately noticed the change in Zachary’s physique.
The bitter taste lingering in her mouth served as a reminder that Zachary had been drinking. If he truly can’t restrain himself…
Lenora panicked and began struggling desperately. “Let go… No…”
Unbeknownst to her, the more she struggled, the more apparent Zachary’s reaction became.
Under the influence of alcohol, Zachary felt an overwhelming heat coursing through his body. Waves of fiery sensations assaulted his mind, threatening to burn away his rationality completely.
He felt his large hand release her wrist as if guided by some unseen force..
Lenora thought he was going to let her go.
The next moment, she felt a chill in her chest. He had tugged down the off–shoulder neckline of her evening gown, exploring her body.

They’re really soft…
“Mhm…”
Lenora was caught off guard, and a soft moan escaped from her throat.
The atmosphere was charged with an undeniable romantic tension.
Suddenly, footsteps echoed from outside, halting right before the restroom door.
The door handle was pressed, yet the door wouldn’t open.

The man outside asked with a hint of confusion, “Excuse me, is anyone in there? Could you open the door?”
Lenora stopped pushing him away. She dared not move at all.
Zachary’s body stiffened, and he instantly snapped back to reality.
He opened his eyes, locking gazes with Lenora from a close distance.
Her eyes were clear and bright.
Their lips were pressed together, and neither of them made a move.
The man waited for a response that never came, and eventually, he turned and walked away.
Zachary immediately lifted his head, pulling away from Lenora’s lips. He said in a hoarse voice, “I’m sorry.”
Lenora lowered her head expressionlessly.
Following her gaze, Zachary noticed his large hand was still placed where it shouldn’t have been.
He recoiled as if burned, quickly withdrawing his hand. He stepped back twice before turning away. “You should straighten your clothes.”
Without uttering another word, Lenora straightened her collar, unlocked the door, and promptly left.
Zachary washed his face with cold water at the sink, suppressing the burning sensation throughout his body. After exiting the restroom, he strode toward the hall.
Suddenly, someone blocked his path. “Mr. Fuller, may I steal a moment of your time?”
The person who came was Lola.
The legal proceedings against Lola were nearly complete, and the court session was about to commence.
Lola wanted to settle the matter outside the court, but, under Zachary’s instruction, the lawyer remained 7 unyielding.
She could only devise a way to meet Zachary in private.
Zachary walked past her, his face devoid of any expression. “No.”
Lola followed him closely, her urgency palpable. “Mr. Fuller, about that defamation case-”

Zachary abruptly halted, turning to look at her. “I’ve already handed this case over entirely to my lawyer. There will be no out–of–court settlement.”
After he finished speaking, he continued to walk forward.
Lola suddenly embraced him from behind, pressing her face against his back, her eyes slowly welling up with tears. “Zachary, hear me out. Lenora isn’t worthy of you. She used her father’s liver to force the Fuller family to adopt her, and she shamelessly clung to you. I know you must be annoyed, so everything I did was to help you! I know you like Susanna, so I did all this to bring you two together!”
Zachary tore away Lola’s hands, turning to face her. “Let me make this clear. Lenora isn’t clinging to me; I’m the one pursuing her. Your so–called cleverness is nothing more than jealousy toward Lenora! No matter how many excuses you come up with, I won’t change my decision. You can wait for the law’s punishment!”
“Yes! I am jealous of her. Where do I fall short compared to her?” Lola cried out, clinging tightly to Zachary’s arm. “Zachary, can’t you be a little less ruthless?! I beg you, look at me, please. I’ve liked you since you joined the company! I really, really like
you. I ”
At that moment, the sound of footsteps echoed from behind, causing Lola to stop crying. She turned her head and her body froze in place.
Upon seeing Lenora, Zachary hastily let go of Lola’s hand. “Nora…”
“Seems I’ve come at an inconvenient time. I didn’t mean to interrupt. Please, carry on,” Lenora said, her t expression cold and distant. She didn’t even spare a glance at Zachary. She walked past them, striding toward the hall.
