You haven’t been around these past few days. I though you were too embarrassed to show your 

Lenora gave a faint smile. It seems you’re quite happy about losing half of your yearend bonus. Sacrificing so much money just to spite meyou really don’t mind taking a hit, do you?” 

Lola’s face stiffened momentarily. Lenora, do you think you’ve won?” 

What do you mean?” 

Lola raised an eyebrow. Do you really think it was the intern’s mistake?” 

face

Lenora remained silent. She knew it was all Lola’s doing. The intern was merely being made a scapegoat for her actions

Observing her expression, Lola chuckled. If you knew I did it, wouldn’t Mr. Fuller know as well? Yet, he chose to protect me, shifting the blame onto the intern What do you think that signifies?” 

What does that signify

Lenora lowered her gaze

She knew it signified that Zachary didn’t care for her. To him, Susanna was far more important

Even though Lola and Lenora were constantly at odds and kept each other in check, Lola wouldn’t be removed from her position as the director of the Public Relations Department no matter how much she disparaged Lenora 

Lola was much more important than her reputation

She continued, Even if I lose a lot of my annual bonus, it’s just thata bonus. It doesn’t affect my salary, and besides, there’s still some time before the year ends. I might even earn it back. Only you would take such painless punishment seriously. Lenora, you should understand your position in Mr. Fuller’s heart 

now, right? He made a show of defending you in the group cha but in reality, you gained nothing.” 

Her reputation remained tarnished, and her work continued to be fraught with difficulties

Lenora sighed in relief, grateful she hadn’t been swayed by Zachary’s protective gestures and had already seen his true colors

Otherwise, she would have been the biggest fool in the world

I’m really curious, Ms. Wimble. Why do you harbor such animosity toward me?Lenora asked, swiftly changing the topic

Do I need a reason for that? Can’t I just find you disagreeable?” 

No way.”

Lenora was, after all, the adopted daughter of the Fuller family and was favored by Gerald. Even if others didn’t like her, they wouldn’t show it on their faces. People naturally tend to seek benefits and avoid harm, especially someone like Lola who had climbed to the position of director of the Public Relations Department

If Lola were truly straightforward, that wouldn’t be an issue

However, after working with her for many years, Lenors knew better. Lola was incredibly shrewd, presenting different faces to different people

There had to be a reason for her targeting Lenora

Why not?” 

Ms. Wimble, you always seem to mention Mr. Fuller. Do you have feelings for him? Are you targeting me out of jealousy? I’m just an ordinary person who was adopted by the Fuller family and got close to Mr. Fuller. Does that upset you?Lenora speculated, raising an eyebrow

Lenora, what are you talking about? You’re making false accusations!Lola’s face turned red 

Lenora grew more certain. What’s the matter? Did I hit a nerve?” 

I have no idea what you’re talking about.Lola hastily walked away

With a smile, Lenora turned and went back to her office

Lola pondered for a while before she finally decided to pick up her phone and send a message to Zachary Mr. Fuller, if Ms. Wilkin said anything offensive, please don’t take it to heart

After a long while, Zachary finally responded to her with a question mark

She replied: It’s nothing. I just wanted to give you a heads up 

If Zachary believed Lenora, it would be difficult for her to stay by his side

As the workday drew to a close, Zachary sent a message. He had a social engagement that evening and suggested Lenora head home on her own

Lenora didn’t ask the driver to pick her up. Instead, she hailed a taxi at the entrance and headed to Glory Plaza first

Her cravings kicked in again. She yearned for the black forest cake from that renowned, oldfashioned bakery

Please wait for me here. I’ll be back soon after buying something.Lenora instructed the driver, then swiftly got out of the car and headed into Glory Plaza

The bakery, named Afternoon Delight, had been a staple in Glory Plaza for many years, consistently bustling with business

When Lenora arrived, there were a lot of people. 

She walked straight to the glass cabinet on the left and asked the bakery staff to pick out a slice of black forest cake and a slice of Napoleon cake. After paying, she left with the paper bag

As she exited the bakery, she accidentally bumped into two women. Quickly apologizing, she was about to take a detour when someone suddenly called out. Lenora?” 

Lenora stopped abruptly, turning to look. Only then did she realize that the woman wearing a mask and hat was Susanna

The one without a mask standing next to her was her assistant

Susanna took a step forward, glancing at the paper bag in Lenora’s hand. Here for cake? You love this bakery’s cake too? What a coincidence. I love it as well.” 

Oh, Ms. Carston, I didn’t expect to see you here. Despite your busy schedule, you still came to buy a cake yourself?” 

Of course.” 

Well, go ahead then. I’ve got to be off for other work, Lenora said, turning to leave

Wait a minute. You bought a black forest cake, didn’t you?” 

Lenora froze

Afternoon Delight packs their cake in carefully wrapped boxes. From the outside, you can’t tell what’s inside. How on earth did she know

You’re curious as to why I know, aren’t you?Susanna slowly approached Lenora with a smile. Because I like the black forest cake from this place too.” 

Lenora pursed her lips tightly. She had already anticipated what Susanna was going to say

She should have left

However, her legs felt as if they were filled with lead, too heavy to lift

I remember when Zack and I were dating, he knew I loved the black forest cake from this shop. He would often bring it for me to eat, especially when we had arguments. A piece of black forest cake from him was usually enough for me to forgive him. However, there was this one time when we had a terrible fight. He brought me the cake but I was still angry, so I shut him out. I believe he must have given you the cake. 1 remember seeing it on your Instagram that night. Seeing how much you enjoyed it, I didn’t feel the need to warn you.” 

Lenora’s heart sank

I see… 

Lenora held the paper bag and slowly walked out of Glory Plaza

When she spotted a trash bin by the roadside, she quickly walked over and tossed the paper bag inside

She closed her eyes for a moment, then strode toward the taxi

Miss, weren’t you going to buy something?the driver asked

With a casual smile, Lenora replied, It was sold out. Let’s go.”

Without asking further questions, the driver started the car and headed toward Galaxy Bay

Lenora sat in the back, leaning against the seat and gazing out at the street. She blinked a few times, her eyes becoming slightly moist

Why do I like black forest cake

When Lenora first arrived at the Fuller residence, she had been quiet and reserved, treading cautiously. The Fuller relatives had all remarked on how wellbehaved and obedient she was

Her relationship with Zachary was neither distant nor close

She only dared to steal glances at him when he wasn’t looking, and that alone satisfied her heart

One day, Zachary returned home carrying a paper bag Lenora was in the living room doing her homework. When she saw him and greeted him, Zachary, who was about to go upstairs, stopped in his tracks, walked over, and placed the paper bag in front of her. Lenora, I brought you some cake.”
