Chapter 4 His First Love
Lenora held her phone, feeling a heartache that made it hard for her to breathe.
It turns out that right after getting off the plane, Zachary took Susanna to meet his friends. They all knew and gave them their blessing. I am the only one who was kept in the dark.
In these three years, only the Fuller family knew about their marriage.
He never introduced her to his friends, and even if they happened to meet, everyone assumed she was a foster daughter of the Fuller family.
The driver arrived at the garage to get the car and saw Lenora still in her car. Puzzled, he called out, “Mrs. Fuller?”
Lenora quickly wiped away her tears. Pretending not to hear, she immediately started the car to leave.
Lenora wouldn’t bring personal emotions into work.
Right now, all she could do was distract herself through work.
Lenora found Zachary’s email, attached the proposal, and clicked send.
Soon, Zachary replied. He was as concise as ever: Approved. Keep an eye on the follow–up.
Lenora paused. She replied with a simple “okay and quickly delegated the task.
After work, Lenora received a message from Zachary: Something came up tonight. Head home without me.
Lenora pursed her lips, another wave of pain rising in her like needles. Her fingers trembled. as she typed: Okay.
In the past, she was considered a higher–up of Fuller Group. He would inform her about his social events or which person in charge he was meeting.
However, these past two days, he dismissed her with a brief “something came up.
She assumed he made that up to keep Susanna company.
Zachary: I brought you a gift during my business trip but forgot to give it to you. It’s in my suitcase. You can get it yourself.
Lenora: Okay.

Looking at the short reply he received, Zachary suddenly felt a bit annoyed. He leaned back. in his chair, pinching the bridge of his nose.
His assistant, Miles Lancaster, knocked on the door. “Mr. Fuller, Ms. Carston is here.”
Lenora left the office, hearing a few remaining employees discussing something outside.
“Was that lady who came looking for Mr. Fuller just now his girlfriend? She seems to have a great figure!”
“Too bad she’s wearing a mask.”
“Did any of you feel like Mr. Fuller’s girlfriend’s eyes resemble Susanna Carston’s?”
“Are you talking about the Hofcaster’s superstar? But isn’t she developing her career abroad?”
“I think she and Mr. Fuller look good together!”
Someone noticed her and greeted, “Ahem, Ms. Wilkin.”
The discussions ceased, and everyone greeted, “Ms. Wilkin.”
Lenora lowered her gaze, her expression indifferent. “It’s past working hours now. You can continue talking.”
After saying that, she left quickly, walking with urgency. The corners of her eyes were tinged red, and her heart was filled with a bitter sadness.
She couldn’t wait to escape, afraid to witness a heartbreaking scene.
Has Susanna come to the company to find him already? We haven’t finalized our divorce yet. Does he remember that his wife is still in the company?
The employees behind her started talking again, but they had changed the topic.
“Ms. Wilkin is so beautiful. Every time I see her, I’m a bit scared. No wonder she’s Mr. Fuller’s sister.”
A newly hired employee was surprised. “Ms. Wilkin is Mr. Fuller’s sister?”
“Pfft, they are not related by blood. Her father forced Old Mr. Fuller to take her in. Otherwise, could she enter Fuller Group?”
“Who told
you that?”
“Someone at the Public Relations Department.”

As she looked up, she saw two
Zachary was wearing the white suit she had picked for him that morning, making his tall figure stand out.
Beside him was a woman, wearing a mask and a cap, intimately linking her arm with his. She was talking to Zachary, who slightly tilted his head to listen to her attentively with a gentle expression.
The woman seemed to be saying something, coquettishly shaking Zachary’s arm.
Zachary smiled tenderly and nodded. His mouth seemed to form the word “okay.”
Susanna, his first love, was back for real.
The bright red tie stabbed Lenora’s eyes.
