Chapter 201 Does Maxton Satisfy Your

When their eyes met, Lenora quickly averted her gaze. "Aren't you going to let go of me now?"

"I have something for you."

"What?"

Zachary released Lenora's hand and walked over to the bookshelf, retrieving a small box. He handed it to Lenora. "This is something I gave you earlier. Since it's already yours, there's no reason for me to take it back. You should keep it."

After he finished speaking, he let out a self-deprecating laugh. "Weren't you planning on financially supporting Maxton? These can fetch a pretty penny if you resell them."

It was the jewelry box she had previously returned to Zachary

Lenora wasn't keen on holding onto them, fearing they might stir up emotions. "I think you should keep them. If you insist on giving them to me, then do me a favor and resell them. After that, donate the money directly to an orphanage. I'll be leaving now, goodbye." Lenora turned around, left the study, and headed downstairs.

Lenora immediately moved Cotton's cat food, cat litter and canned food to the car.

She stole a glance behind her, noticing that Zachary had not followed.

A sense of relief washed over her, yet she felt an inexplicable sense of loss.

Settled in the driver's seat, she remained silent for a moment before pulling out her phone to call Miles.

To be honest, when Miles saw the incoming call from Lenora, he was taken aback..

He cautiously answered the phone. "Hello, Ms. Wilkin

"Mr. Lancaster, which pet hospital is Cotton at?"

Who's Cotton? And why is Lenora asking me thist

Reflecting on Zachary's odd remarks during the phone call, Miles paused for a few seconds before responding, "I apologize, Ms. Wilkin. An unexpected work matter came up, and I had to entrust Cotton to my assistant. I'm currently unaware of which pet hospital it's in." Suddenly, Lenora was at a loss for words, unsure of what to say next.

For a fleeting moment, Lenora suspected that Zachary had unintentionally caused Cotton's demise and was using this as an excuse to stall.

Miles spoke again. "Okay, let me check with my assistant. I'll call you back later."

After he finished speaking, Miles hung up and hurriedly dialed Zachary's number.

Upon receiving instructions from Zachary, Miles promptly returned a call to Lenora.

Upon answering the call, Lenora immediately asked, "Where is Cotton?"

"Apologies, Ms. Wilkin. I wasn't able to get through to the assistant. Once I do, I assure you I'll ask on your behalf."

Lenora was rendered speechless once again.

And so, Lenora made the trip, only to return empty-handed.

She sighed in resignation, having no choice but to drive away. Her next stop was the bank, where she had to transfer money to Sophia.

Over seven million was no small sum. The bank staff promptly escorted Lenora to the VIP lounge to wait, went to summon the manager, and served Lenora coffee.

Lenora took a sip of the coffee and then glanced at her phone screen. She noticed a message notification on WhatsApp.

She opened it and found out it was from Connor.

Sat,

Presumably, Connor had seen Sophia's social media post about returning to her country.

Connor: You guys are back in the country? I'm in Jacaster too right now. Do you have time to grab a meal together?

Scrolling up, there was a message from Connor, asking her where she was hanging out and when she would return home. She hadn't responded.

This time, Lenora replied: I'm sorry. I've just returned to the country and have been quite busy these past few days. Let's talk about it later

She understood, deep down, that this "later" was not a genuine promise of meeting up but merely at placating gesture.

She wouldn't meet up with

him unless she had no other choice.

Connor responded quickly, sending a disappointed emoji: Okay. Truth is, I just returned to the country a couple of days ago, and I've been looking for an internship too. Ms. Wilkin, what do you do for a living? Since she had just replied to him, Lenora didn't feel right to ignore him right now and replied: I used to work in brand management, but / resigned a while back.

Connor: 'hat's your plan now?

HotNCold: I'm not planning on looking for a job right now. I'll think about it after I've taken some time off.

Connor: Ms. Wilkin, I'm not quite familiar with the current situation in Jacaster. I've received offers from two companies. Could you help me make a decision? HotNCold: From which industry?

Connor: Software development,

A high-achiever from a prestigious foreign university like Connor, especially with such a specialized major, was highly likely to be employed by a large corporation. There weren't many large companies like that in Jacaster.

HotNCold: I'm not particularly familiar with this area, but if you tell me which two companies are involved, I can provide some analysis from a different perspective. Connor: Thank you, Ms. Wilkin! The first one is Fuller Group and the other is Trident Technologies. Are you familiar with these two companies?

Lenora was at a loss. How could she not be familiar with these two?

Indeed, these two companies were among the top tier in their field in Jacaster.

HotNCold: Fuller Group is a diversified company, with research and development being just one of its many divisions, encompassing both hardware and software. On the other hand, Trident Technologies is specifically focused on this area. Fuller Group has a large platform, with the backing of the group, its own industrial park, and a complete industrial chain. The annual investment in research and development is quite substantial. Trident Technologies may fall slightly short in this aspect, but they have their own areas of expertise. If you're serious about development, the main thing to consider is the compatibility between the projects of the two companies and your field of expertise, as well as whether their philosophies align with yours. In terms of career progression, if you're looking for rapid promotion, then Trident

Technologies is the way to go. But if you're thinking about long-term development, then Fuller Group is your best bet.

Connor: To be honest, I have a personal preference for Fuller Group. Perhaps it's due to their approach to research and development. The former CEO, Zachary Fuller, is a mathematics major with a background in software development. HotNCold: He majored in both mathematics and economics,

Connor: He's quite impressive. I've seen his interviews from abroad, and I really admire him. Ms. Wilkin, do you know him?

Lenora was stumped once again.

HotNCold: Yes. He's my ex-husband.

To be honest, Lenora had always been seeking an opportunity to bring up this matter.

She felt that once Connor found out about her previous marriage, he might just change his mind.

However, Connor didn't take the initiative to express anything. It seemed too abrupt for her to outright state that she had been divorced. The opportunity had finally arrived.

This news should have been quite a shock for Connor. The screen showed that Connor had been typing for a long time

Connor was truly taken aback. He had never considered that Lenora could have been married before, as she appeared so young.

Then, he recalled hearing Sophia mention "Tyrant Fuller." At the time, he had assumed that Tyrant Fuller was Lenora's ex-boyfriend. Connor never expected that he was actually Lenora's former husband.

Moreover, the term "tyrant," was not a compliment by any means. Most of the blame should have been on Zachary,

A few minutes might have passed when Connor replied: Ms. Wilkin, you're extraordinary. It's his loss. HotNCold: Regardless of the reasons behind our divorce, he has always been diligent and responsible at work, treating his employees with kindness. I hope my situation won't affect your decision.

Connor: Hmm, alright, thank you, Ms. Wilkin. I'll think it over. You go on with your work.

HotNCold: Okay.

Connor should give up now, right?

The bank manager came over and assisted Lenora with the money transfer process.

Lenora returned to the loft, where Sophia had recently woken up. Having had her breakfast, she was lounging on the living room couch, engrossed in her phone.

Seeing Lenora return, Sophia asked, "Did you bring the cat back?"

Lenora shook her head. "Cotton has got cat moss. It's at the pet hospital. When are you starting work?"

You could have taken care of Cotton's cat moss on your own.

As Sophia was lost in her thoughts, she was interrupted by Lenora's comment. "I'm starting work tomorrow. By the way, has Connor contacted you yet?"

"I reached out to him and told him that Zachary is my ex-husband."

"Huh? Aren't you scaring people away?" Sophia was somewhat exasperated.

"Well, that's great. I'm not in the mood for this anyway."

"Actually, it's not necessarily so,"

"Hmm?"
