Chapter 31 The Controversial Couple
While browsing Twitter, Lenora asked Jonas, "Is this the manuscript you mentioned a few days ago that you were in contact with?"
"Yes, that's the one."
Lenora gave a light laugh. "Congratulations on getting the role you wanted. Give it your all and strive to deliver a performance worthy of a Best Actor award."
Jonas received favorable reviews, demonstrating bravery in attempting various styles and themes of roles. Among the group of young actors, he was a breath of fresh air.
Some time ago, he played the lead male role in a mystery drama and received unanimous praise.
"Do you like Best Actor award?"
"Of course. Who doesn't appreciate a person of substance?"
"You're right," he said. "I'll strive to win the Best Actor award for you to see."
After hanging up the phone with Jonas, Lenora casually flipped through, and another entry caught her eye.
Zachary Fuller and Susanna Carston.
Lenora could probably guess what the content was about, yet she couldn't resist the urge to click on it.
Sure enough, this was an entry about the couple.
The fans of the controversial couple once again found a sweet spot. Cloudwater City was Susanna's first lead female drama after returning to her home country, and the investor was none other than Stardust Entertainment. Stardust Entertainment was a subsidiary of Fuller Group.
If one were to say that Stardust Entertainment invested in Cloudwater City, and Susanna starred as the leading lady of the drama without any connection between the two, the fans would absolutely not believe it.
Not only the fans, even Lenora wouldn't believe it.
This topic also attracted quite a few passersby, causing the number of couple worshippers in the fan club account to surge once again.

Lenora seemed to be masochistic, slowly scrolling down, taking in every detail of the content in the trending topics,
Her gaze was focused, lips tightly pressed together, fingers gently gripping the cuffs of her sleeves, her grip growing increasingly stronger.
A netizen had created a video montage for Zachary and Susanna, skillfully combining clips from a modern drama featuring them and financial news segments. Accompanied by a well-crafted script, it instantly formed a complete and touching story. This creative endeavor attracted numerous fans who watched and left comments.
By the time the story ended and the video screen went black, Lenora suddenly realized that, for some unknown reason, she had been unconsciously holding her breath.
Lenora had also created an alternate account and followed the fan club account.
Sophia sent a flurry of messages on WhatsApp: Nora, you're all right now, aren't you? I just saw what happened on Twitter. D*mn, it's really infuriating.
She added: Susanna's team really has no shame, even shifting the blame onto you, playing the
innocent.
HotNCold: I'm fine. I was quite angry when I first saw it, but now I've calmed down.
SugarSoph: Why didn't you retaliate against them, frustrating them on Twitter?
HotNCold: After all, we are partners. Infighting does us no good.
SugarSoph: This doesn't seem like you. It must be Susanna, right? Someone's backing her up, right? SugarSoph: D*mn it!
SugarSoph: Mr. Fuller is truly incompetent. Despite his young age, he can't even distinguish right from wrong.
HotNCold: Let's not bring up this matter anymore. Let them criticize if they want to. Everything will be fine in a few days.
Sophia couldn't help but lose her temper, posting: Some people really play the innocent card. They insist on bringing their own makeup artist, but when the makeup turns out to be a disaster, they immediately shift the blame. This maneuver is truly impressive! Her Twitter account was verified, boasting several hundred thousand followers, which was quite a substantial number among makeup artists.
At this critical moment, when her post was released, others immediately understood that it

was about Susanna's affairs.

Susanna had a significant following, and the marketing account boldly reproduced Sophia's post, subtly implying that there was a mystery within.
Fans had found Sophia's Twitter post and started a heated debate in the comment section.
The person in charge of the photography studio personally called Lenora, informing her that they had already identified the internal staff member who had leaked the photos and had taken disciplinary action against him. After some thought, Lenora sent a message to Fiona.
HotNCold: RougeBabe, do you have the completed photos now?
RougeBabe: Yes. Do you need them now?
HotNCold: Yes, just send me one. The one that was taken on the first day.
Fiona quickly sent Lenora a photo. The photographer's perspective was strikingly different from the usual press photos. After being retouched in Photoshop, it exuded a unique charm.
Lenora forwarded the picture to her assistant. "Crop a portion of the picture and post it on MQ's official account. Don't post the original image."
The assistant quickly followed Lenora's instructions and posted a Twitter post using the official account: First, let's share a picture. Here! Susanna is truly beautiful!
Below was the attached illustration.
Under the official account post, the atmosphere was harmonious, with fans leaving comments and sharing pictures.
This incident simply passed by. Thankfully, it wasn't anything serious.
Lenora's leg had mostly healed, and by Wednesday, he began going to work at the
company.
Lenora emerged from the restroom, passing by the elevator just as its doors opened. Zachary stepped out from the elevator, followed closely by a few secretaries. Upon seeing Lenora, Miles and the others immediately greeted her, "Ms. Wilkin."
Lenora nodded subtly, greeting Zachary, "Mr. Fuller, just got back?"
Zachary looked at Lenora and hummed in agreement.
"I'm going back to attend to my work first."

She listened to the ringing of the landline, only picking up just before it was about to end. "Hello, do you need anything, Mr. Fuller?"
"Come to my office when it's time for lunch."
"I'm heading to the staff cafeteria to have a meal
"I ordered your portion here."
"Oh."
As the clock struck twelve noon, the employees at the outer workstations promptly rose from their seats. Linking arms and shoulders, they headed together toward the staff cafeteria. When there were hardly any people outside, Lenora finally left the office, heading straight for the CEO's office.
She didn't knock and simply pushed the door open and entered.
In the guest area of the CEO's office, the coffee table was already laden with the day's lunch. dishes.
Upon seeing the packaging, it was clear that it was a specially ordered meal from Aroma Tower, a feast that was a perfect blend of color, aroma, and taste. "Have a seat."
Zachary picked up a square box and placed it in front of Lenora. "I brought you a gift. See if you like it."
Lenora picked up and opened the box. Inside was a delicate women's watch. The dial was a small, square shape in a deep blue color, exquisitely crafted. "It's all right."
Lenora tried it on, flaunting it in front of Zachary,
"It's quite fitting. Let's eat. Give it a taste and see how it is. I've ordered a few dishes that you like
Thank you, Mr. Fuller."
Lenora sat down across from Zachary, unwrapping the package of cutleries.
"It's just the two of us now, and you still want to call me Mr. Fuller?"

Zachary served Lenora a few dishes. "How's your foot? Why didn't you rest at home for a couple more days?"
"It doesn't hurt anymore. Rather than idling at home with nothing to do, I might as well come to work. After all, I don't move around much."
"I'm sorry for the misunderstanding last time," Zachary said, looking at Lenora with an apologetic expression.
There must have indeed been some issues with the makeup. He should have trusted Lenora's judgment.
Getting the esteemed Zachary to bow his head and apologize was no easy feat.
Lenora paused for a moment, lowering her head, and said softly, "It's all in the past, so there's no need to bring it up again. You've already apologized over the phone."
"Last time you mentioned that you've been feeling quite tired recently and wanted to take a break. How about hiring a few more assistants?"
Lenora shook her head. "It's sufficient for now. We'll see how it goes later."
"When? When exactly?"
"No, I just said it casually."
As her months of pregnancy gradually progressed, it naturally became impossible to hide her condition from those around her. Leaving aside whether Zachary would allow her to give birth, even if he did, he might still fight her for custody. Therefore, she tried her best to give birth to this child when no one around her was aware.
"If you have any needs, feel free to tell me."
A sudden thought flashed through Lenora's mind. He looked up at Zachary. "I do have a request, but I'm not sure if you'll agree to it."
