Thyla you for helping me out, Exekiel Lenora said with an embarrassed smile. She then tentatively wed, "I had too much to drink I didn't say anything offensive, did 12" For example, calling him Zachary instead.

While mistaking someone for another might not be a big deal, it was rather impolite, especially toward someone like Ezekiel whom she had failed to recognize Ezekiel smiled. "No, you didn't."

Lenora let out a small sigh of relief. "That's good to hear

"But you threw up all over me." Ezekiel said immediately after.

"Huh?"

Lenora was utterly dumbfounded.

"Your own coat got smeared with vomit, so I threw it away."

With a sheepish grin. Lenora pulled back the covers and climbed out of the bed. "Sorry... Um, how much did your clothes cost? I'll reimburse you" That's not necessary. My wardrobe can do without it.

For Ezekiel, a piece of clothing really didn't amount to much. After considering it for a moment, Lenora proposed, "How about I treat you to dinner tonight?"

It was only fair to invite Ezekiel for a meal, considering he had helped apprehend Gaston and had come to

her rescue at the bar.

Ezekiel lifted his gaze to look over. "All right."

He motioned toward the paper bag on the couch and added, "By the way, I had someone buy you a new down jacket. See if it fits? Do you like it?"

"Your judgement is surely impeccable."

"It was the secretary who purchased it."

Lenora felt speechless after realizing she had flattered the wrong person.

She pulled out the down jacket from the paper bag and unfolded it. It was white and cropped.

She unzipped the dress and slipped it on, taking a moment to admire herself in the full-length mirror. "Your secretary has quite the eye for style," she commented. Ezekiel simply kept quiet.

Lenora once again took off the down jacket, headed to the bathroom to wash her face, and dried it with a paper towel.

Her makeup had already worn off. She leaned in closer to the mirror, noticing that the scars on her face were no longer as prominent as they used to be.

She ran her fingers through her hair, subtly using it to shield the side of her face.

Emerging from the bathroom, Lenora's gaze swept across the room. She noticed her phone resting on the bedside table. She walked over, picked it up, and instinctively pressed the power button. Huh? Is the phone's battery dead?

Lenora then held down the power button to start up the device, and saw that the battery was still more than half full.

It seemed as if Ezekiel knew what was on her mind. He said, "Someone kept calling you, so I turned off your phone to avoid disturbing you. I hope you didn't miss out on any important messages." "It's okay"

The flood of incoming call records rushed in.

Lenora was browsing through her phone, dozens of call logs were there, all from Zachary,

He must have been worried because he couldn't reach me. Should I call him back or not?

Lenora was in a dilemma, when Ezekiel closed his laptop, stood up and suggested. "Let's go for dinner."

It was already past four in the afternoon, by the time they reached the restaurant, it would be after five. The timing was just about perfect.

"All right." Lenora responded, slipping into her down jacket, and putting her phone back into her pocket.

The restaurant was chosen by Lenora.

Ezekiel mentioned that he hadn't spent much time in Jacaster and had asked Lenora for some recommendations. As a result, she chose a private restaurant.

After tasting it, Ezekiel couldn't stop praising the flavor of the food here.

Halfway through the meal, the ringtone of Lenora's phone, which was placed on the table, began to sound.

She picked it up and glanced at it. It was a call from Zachary.

After a moment of hesitation, Lenora declined the call

She still wasn't sure what to tell Zachary

After some thought, Lenora reopened the messaging interface and sent a brief reply to Zachary: I'm safe. Do not disturb.

After sending the message, Lenora placed her phone face down on the table, offering Ezekiel a smile.

A meaningful glint flashed in Ezekiel's eyes as he asked, "Why didn't you answer the call?"

"It wasn't important," Lenora replied nonchalantly.

No sooner had she finished speaking, when her phone rang again.

Upon picking it up. Lenora saw that it was still Zachary

-Why don't you go and answer it? It might be something important," said Ezekiel. "I remember Gaston arrived in Jacaster this afternoon. They might have found out something from the interrogation.

Recalling the truth she had discovered that morning, Lenora pursed her lips and switched off her phone. "It's okay; there's no need to answer this call.

A glint flashed in Ezekiel's eyes, and a hint of a smile, almost imperceptible, played at the corners of his lips.

After finishing dinner, it was already nearing seven in the evening.

"Let's go. Where do you live? I'll drive you home," said Ezekiel.

Lenora mentioned the name of the residential area.

Ezekiel dropped Lenora off at the entrance of her residential area. As Lenora pushed the car door open, she waved at Ezekiel and said, "Thanks, Ezekiel, Bye!"

"See you next time."

Only after Lenora entered the residential area did Ezekiel drive away.

While powering up her phone, Lenora walked into the lobby of the apartment building.

A string of call logs flooded in once again.

All of those calls were from Zachary.

There was someone waiting in front of the elevator. Lenora glanced up and saw that the up button was illuminated. She lowered her gaze to the screen displaying the numbers, hesitated for a moment, but ultimately decided to dial Zachary's number. 3/5

Seconds later, the familiar ring of a cell phone echoed, emanating from nearby.

It took Lenora a couple of seconds to react. When she finally looked up, she met Zachary which startled her.

intense gaze,

"Zachary? W-Why didn't you say anything carlier?"

She had been so engrossed in her phone just now that she simply assumed the person waiting for the elevator nearby was just another resident there.

Zachary held an unfinished cigarette in his hand, his gaze intensely fixed on her. His eyes fell on her upturned cheeks, sketched in the bare light, where a famt scar, contrasting with her skin color, was barely visible.

He remembered she had been wearing makeup when she was at the police station that morning.

And then there was her hair. Once styled neatly into a bun, it was now undone and loose,

The clothes she was wearing had also been changed.

A flicker of pain flashed through Zachary's eyes, which quickly turned ominously dark, filled with a fierce intensity. It was as if he was a trapped beast struggling to break free.

His brows were furrowed deeply, his hanging fists clenched tight, the strain causing his knuckles to pop. He stared at Lenora in silence.

A few seconds later, Zachary moved to the space between the two elevator doors. He extinguished his cigarette on the top of the trash bin with a forceful grind, snuffing out the ember and breaking the cigarette butt. Following his gaze, Lenora noticed, the area was littered with cigarette butts. The ground where he had stood was carpeted with a layer of ash.

A shiver ran through Lenora's entire body, a chill creeping up her spine. It was as if it wasn't the cigarette butt that Zachary had crushed, but her instead.

She unconsciously took a step back, swallowing before she asked, "Zachary, what's wrong with you?"

He's acting so strange today. Is it all because I didn't answer his calls?

Zachary turned around, his gaze fixed intently on Lenora. He advanced toward her, step by step, struggling to contain his urgency. His voice was hoarse as he asked with pauses between each word, "Where did you go today, after you left the police station?" A thick cloud of smoke, laden with an assertive masculine scent, enveloped the area. On instinct, Lenora held her breath. "I just drove around aimlessly."

"And?"

"I had a few drinks at the bar."

"And?"

With a raised eyebrow, Lenora retorted, "I don't see why I should report my activities to you."

As the words fell, the elevator had also reached the fire floor.

Lenora lifted her foot and moved forward.
