Zachary recognized it immediately–it was one of the Jaguars from his garage. He turned and walked in the opposite direction, his coat draped over his arm.
Through the car’s front windshield, he spotted Lenora, leaning back in the seat, arms crossed over her chest, watching him calmly.
Circling around to the other side, Zachary opened the passenger door and slid in. “How long have you been here? Why didn’t you call me?” he asked.
Lenora started the car. “Not too long. But you were a litle busy being swooned over–how could you have noticed me?”
She had just parked when she saw Lola stumble into his arms. The whole scene had her so caught up that she hadn’t even thought about calling.
Zachary chuckled. “I was just helping her out, that’s all
Lola had kept her composure the entire night, but at the very end, she lost her cool.
Zachary had noticed it earlier in the elevator’s reflection–her moves weren’t genuine. He didn’t believe for a second that she had really sprained her ankle.
It seemed like Lenora was right–Lola had feelings for him.
“Why didn’t you take her to the hospital? If you had, maybe something pleasant would’ve come out of it later,” Lenora said, a teasing edge to her voice.
Zachary rolled down the window, letting in the cool breeze. “There are pleasant surprises now too,” he replied with a smirk.
“Huh?” Lenora raised an eyebrow.
“You’ll see when we get home.”
Later, when Lenora was in the bath, Zachary walked in wearing a bathrobe. His face was flushed, his voice rough, and his breathing heavy. She finally understood what he meant by “pleasant surprises.”
He had realized something was off as soon as he got in the car. By the time they reached home, his body was burning, heat rising from deep inside, and his throat was dry.
He had been drugged.
Zachary hadn’t expected this move from Lola. Beneath the simmering anger, he felt a strange, subtle satisfaction.
Lenora, after all, was still keeping some distance between them. This might just be the opportunity to close that gap.

“Maybe you should go to the hospital-” she started, bitt he cut her off.
“It’s late already.”
“Don’t do this… mmph…”

Lenora’s words were silenced as Zachary kissed her, pulling her close. One large hand cradled the back of her neck as he deepened the kiss, the heat of his body pressing against hers.
In that heated moment, there was a tenderness to his touch. His hand trailed down her back before guiding her cool hand under his bathrobe. His scent–warm and intoxicating–filled her senses.
The kiss grew deeper, hotter, until Lenora could hardly breathe. Her hand gripped his bathrobe tightly. and before she realized it, she tugged at the tie. The robe fell, landing on the wet floor.
The sound of water echoed in the small bathroom. His rough breathing mixed with her soft moans, filling the confined space with tension and desire.
Lenora, arms braced against the wall, moved in rhythm with him. Her eyes were hazy, her face flushed.

Zachary’s hand slid around her waist and moved to her front. His voice was hoarse as he asked, “Did this get bigger?”
At that moment, Lenora regretted not locking the door when she first stepped into the shower. But before she could think too much, she was pulled back into the storm of emotions.
After a while, the water stopped. Zachary carried Lenora out of the bathroom, still wrapped in a towel, and placed her gently on the bed.
The night continued as their bodies intertwined, filling the room with the sounds of passion. Even the

In the early morning light, Lenora stirred, opening her eyes to the sight of Zachary’s broad chest, marked with a few noticeable scratches.
There were also faint red marks on his neck, positioned just right so they would peek through when he wore his shirt.
This was her signature style, her little mark of possession. She had thought she wouldn’t fall for him like this again, yet, the closer she got, the harder it was to resist.
Lenora shifted slightly, feeling the soreness throughout her body. Remembering the events of the night. she pursed her lips.
Zachary had promised several times that he would stop soon, but he never did. Eventually, she had drifted
into unconsciousness.
It had been a long time since they’d last been together. His skills had only improved, and she had thoroughly enjoyed every moment.

“You’re already awake? What’s on your mind this early? Your face is all red,” Zachary asked with a teasing grin, leaning in closer.
“I wasn’t thinking about anything.” Lenora quickly denied, trying to shift the conversation. “Why are your
still in bed?”
According to his previous routine, he should have been out for a run at this time.
“I’m skipping the morning run today,” he suggested, his grin widening.
After a moment, Zachary broke the silence again. “I finally understand why they say what they do.”
Lenora turned to him, confused. “What do they say?”
“A woman’s gentleness is a gentleman’s home.”
Lenora stared at him, speechless.
Zachary wrapped his arms around her, his expression soft. “So, do you want to get up or sleep a little longer?”
“Just a bit longer,” she mumbled. “I’m still tired.”
They had been up late, after all, with hardly any rest. They embraced on the bed for a short nap before waking at seven.
After breakfast, they headed to the office together, and everything seemed to return to normal. At the elevator, Zachary took Lenora’s hand and kissed her quickly, only for her to push him away, worried that someone might see.
By the time the employees arrived, they sensed a change. Their boss was no longer the irritable, unpredictable man they had grown used to in recent weeks. He was back to being the composed, gentle Mr. Fuller they had always admired.
This was fantastic news.
But wasn’t long before rumors began to swirl. People noticed something peculiar about Zachary’s neck. In the restroom, Lenora overheard two women gossiping.
“Did you see Mr. Fuller today?”
“I did. So what?”
“Did you notice anything?”
“What?”
“You didn’t notice anything? It was so obvious.”
“What are you talking about?”
“Look closely next time. There are two little love bites on his neck, right by his collar. Every time he turns his head, you can see them.”

“Don’t believe me? Go see for yourself, Ugh, I’m so jealous. I mean, who could possibly win over our handsome boss, Mr. Fuller? Honestly, I’ve noticed it before–right there on his neck, in almost the same spot. He must have a steady partner”
“It’s not surprising. But, think about it–what if Mr. Fuller, you know, can’t…keep up?”
“No way! Don’t even joke about that. If anyone can, it’s him. I’ve heard that the bigger the nose, the better a guy is in…. well, you know…”
“Mr. Fuller does have a nice nose.”
Word about the little mark on Zachary’s neck spread like wildfire through the office. Everyone had heard. about it by now, and the gossip was endless. The general consensus was that it had to be either Susanna or someone else he was seeing regularly.
However, Lenora’s assistant had a different theory. He believed it was Zachary and Lenora who were a couple.
There was undeniable tension the last time they interacted, but that day, there was a strange undercurrent of intimacy between them.
“What is all this gossip?” Lola’s voice rang out, cutting through the office chatter. “You dare talk about Mr. Fuller’s private life? Get back to work!” she snapped.
The employees quickly fell silent, returning to their tasks without another word.
Lola returned to her desk, her face a mask of calm, though her mind was racing. She closed her eyes for a moment, trying to suppress the wave of jealousy that threatened to consume her.
Everything she had worked for, every effort she made, seemed wasted now. She knew her attempts had benefited someone else instead.
Lenora!
The scene at the elevator kept playing in her head.
At that moment, the landline on the office desk started to ring.
Just then, the phone on her desk rang, startling her out of her thoughts. Glancing at the caller ID, she saw it was an internal call–from the CEO’s office.
Lola took a deep breath, then picked up the phone. “Hello, Mr. Fuller.
