With a heavy “thud,” it sounded like the cell phone had hit the ground. All the voices became muffled and
distant.
Lenora furrowed her brow. “Connor, where are you?”
A soft rustling echoed through the line, but for a long moment, there was no response.
“Connor?”
Connor’s voice sounded utterly distraught, panicked and incoherent, “L–Lenora, I–I don’t know, I…”
His voice was weak and colorless, even trembling slightly, choked with emotion.
In the background, the faint sound of a woman’s crying could be heard.
Lenora had a pretty good idea about what had happened to Connor.
She calmly stated, “Connor, you’re a man. Don’t panic when faced with problems, take a moment to calm down first. Now, after you’ve dressed, take a look at the sign next to the bedside phone. It has the room number on it. Tell me what it is.”
After a few seconds, Connor said, “0305”
“All right, I’m on my way. Just take a moment to calm down and think carefully about what happened.”
The company’s team–building event was held on the fourth floor, and the guest in room 0305 was not an employee.
Worth noting, the room assigned to Connor by the company was 0405. It was highly probable that Connor, in his drunken state, may have wandered into the wrong room.
Lenora arrived at room 0305 and knocked on the door
After waiting for roughly two minutes, the door finally swung open from the inside.
Connor’s clothes were disheveled, his face haggard. But upon seeing Lenora, his eyes lit up, as if he had spotted his savior.
Yet, as soon as a thought crossed his mind, the light in his eyes quickly faded.
“Lenora…” he said in a low, helpless voice.
Lenora patted his shoulder. “It’s all right, let’s talk inside”
She knew, Connor was worried that she would break up with him.
Yet, she hadn’t received an answer from him about Richie, how could she possibly break up with him? Lenora stepped into the room, casually shutting the door behind her.
The room was relatively tidy, save for the area around the bed which was exceptionally messy, with clothes.

The woman was curled up in the corner of the bed, her head buried in her knees as she sobbed. The blanket was pulled up to her chest, revealing her bare shoulders and arms, which bore the traces of their
recent joy.
“Miss, let’s take a moment to calm down, the incident has already occurred, so we need to figure out a way to handle this. First off, do you need to call the police?
Connor’s expression subtly shifted, his fists tensing up in anxiety.
Last night, he had too much to drink, he genuinely didn’t know anything….
The woman suddenly lifted her head from her knees, revealing a face drenched with tears. “Don’t call the police.
Lenora was taken aback when she saw her. “Ms. Schmidt?”
Wiping away her tears, Madison choked out, “You should leave now. Connor has helped me in the past, consider last night as my way of repaying the favor. I won’t call the police, so you can act as if nothing has happened. Go now.”
Lenora wanted to ask something else, her mouth opening and closing, but in the end, she didn’t manage
voice it out.
“All right, you should rest first, calm yourself down. If anything comes up, don’t hesitate to contact me.
Lenora left her contact information and said to Connor, “Grab your stuff, let’s head back first and then we’ll talk.
“All right.”
Right now, Connor’s mind was in utter chaos, all he could do was to follow Lenora’s lead.
He quickly adjusted his clothing, grabbed his coat, and followed after Lenora, urgently explaining. “Lenora, Lenora, you have to believe me… I didn’t know. I truly didn’t know… How could this have happened… I don’t even remember how I got back last night…
“Let’s head back to our room first, then we can talk.”
“Okay…”
Connor hesitated, his gaze cautiously falling on Lenora “Lenora, will you break up with me?”
Lenora’s response was noncommittal. “Connor, nobody’s perfect. I won’t judge you solely based on one incident, but I will still maintain a certain level of reservation toward you.”
“I understand…”
Upon reaching Connor’s room, he fished out the room card from his pocket and entered.
The inside was completely empty.
The bed of Connor’s roommate was impeccably made with the sheets smoothly laid out and the blanket

neatly folded at the head of the bed. It looked as though it had been untouched for the entire night.
So, no one noticed that Connor didn’t return home all night?
Lenora settled herself on the sofa, lifting her gaze to meet Connor’s eyes.
His face was tense, hands nervously clutching the hem of his clothes, restlessness evident in his demeanor. “Lenora, you must believe me…” he pleaded.
“Calm down, sit down first,” Lenora said. “Take your time to recall everything that happened last night.”
Connor settled himself across from Lenora, his brows furrowed in concentration as he tried to recall the events of the previous night. “I overdid it with the drinking yesterday, I can’t even remember how I got back… Everyone was toasting and I joined in, drinking a few cups. I didn’t expect the alcohol to hit me so hard…”
“What was the last memory you recall?”
Connor closed his eyes, the more he thought, the more his head throbbed. “I can’t quite remember, I think it was a colleague toasting me…
Lenora asked, “Did you know in advance that Madison was at 0305?”
Connor shook his head urgently, much like a bobblehead, and said in a frantic tone, “I don’t know! Lenora, I really don’t know, you have to believe me. That day, she ran into some troublemakers, and I just stepped in to help. She passed out, and I took her to the hotel, that’s all..
Lenora lowered her gaze in deep thought.
Well, isn’t that too much of a coincidence?
After having a bit too much to drink, Connor mistakenly ascended one floor less than he intended, inadvertently entering Madison’s room.
“I’ll go check the surveillance,” Lenora said, “Ms. Schmidt has asked us to act as if nothing has happened. You should also be prepared, just in case she changes her mind.”
“I know.” Connor propped his elbow on his knee, hands helplessly buried in his hair. He looked at Lenora with a pitiful expression, much like an abandoned puppy. “Lenora, you won’t leave me, will you?”
He hadn’t forgotten that it was Zachary’s infidelity that had led to the collapse of their marriage. Lenora was undoubtedly scarred by this incident.
After a few moments of silence, Lenora said, “Connor, I can’t make any promises right now, Let’s wait until after I’ve checked the surveillance footage and spoken with your colleagues.”
Given her understanding of Connor, she knew he wouldn’t have done such a thing while he was lucid.
If he happened to get drunk and unwittingly stumbled into Madison’s room, and if Madison, also drunk and oblivious, had neglected to lock the door, the circumstances would have been incredibly stringent.
There must be more to the story than meets the eye.
“All right…”

Connor felt distressed, but he understood that Lenora’s decision to not break up with him immediately was already a sign of her tolerance,
“Get yourself together. I’m going to check the surveillance.” Lenora stood up.
“Do you want me to go with you?”
-No need.”
Lenora rose to her feet and headed to the control room. She communicated with the staff, stating her need to access the surveillance footage from the second and third floors of the main building.
The staff member apologized. “I’m sorry, the surveillance system in the main building was malfunctioning yesterday. It’s currently under repair.”
“Really?” Lenora exclaimed in surprise.
“Of course.” The staff member showcased the computer.
“All right, thank you,” Lenora said, rubbing her forehead as she left the surveillance room.
The surveillance system was malfunctioning and under repair, presenting yet another coincidence.
She increasingly felt that something was amiss.
Lenora made a phone call to Stanley.
The phone rang again and again, unanswered, until it finally disconnected on its own.
She dialed again, and only then the call went through.
Stanley seemed to have just woken up, his voice hoarse from sleep, his tone impatient. “What is it?”
“Stanley, did you betray me to Zachary?”
Stanley paused for a moment, cleared his throat, and his tone immediately softened. “Nora, I was helpless, you know how Zachary is…
“Did you drink quite a bit last night?”
“They got all excited and insisted on toasting. I couldn’t really refuse,” Stanley explained, tugging at his collar. He accidentally brushed the wound on the back of his neck, scratched by a stray kitten.
“How much did Connor drink last night? He told me he didn’t have much, but I don’t believe him.” “Him? He didn’t lie, he didn’t drink much. Someone tried to get him drunk, but I stopped them.”
