Upon returning to the private room. Lenora and Howard remained silent. The seat previously occupied by Howard was now taken by Oswald.
Under Cillian's facilitation, the four of them were chatting and laughing as they played cards.

After a few rounds, Lenora's phone suddenly began to ring.
She glanced at her phone screen, and the incoming call displayed Zachary's name.
Lenora asked Robin to take a turn for her. Then, she got up and went to the corridor to answer a phone call.
"Hello?"
There was silence on the other end of the phone.
There was a pause of several seconds on the line. Lenora asked, "Zachary?"
"Mm." A low masculine voice echoed in Lenora's cars.
"What's the matter?" Lenora felt that Zachary was a bit odd that evening.
"I just had a bit of wine and wanted to hear your voice. Zachary began slowly.
Drinking again? Can your stomach handle it?"
"I know my limits..." He asked casually, "Are you at the hotel right now? Or are you out and about?"
Lenora hesitated for a moment. "I'm outside."
Zachary had just breathed a sigh of relief when Lenora spoke again. "We're having dinner at a restaurant and will be back at the hotel shortly."
He had a misunderstanding with Ezekiel. Knowing she was with Ezekiel, he was bound to lose his temper again.
Zachary was rendered speechless.
He couldn't help but sneer. Lenora is effortlessly spinning her smooth, deceptive tales.
"Really?" He seemed oblivious. "What did you have for dinner?"
Lenora paused for a moment. "Grilled fish."
"Where? I recall there's a pretty decent grilled fish place called 'Morsel Muse' over on Gishwick Road."
Lenora was baffled.
Thankfully, she had tasted grilled fish when she visited Jeahron in the past. She was aware of the grilled fish restaurant. "Flavor Fiesta."

"I've heard of it but never had it. Take a picture of the menu for me, so I can try it next time I'm in Jeahron.
Lenora was taken aback.
Lenora found the situation a bit odd, but she didn't overthink it. In her mind, she was inwardly criticizing Zachary, Where on earth was she supposed to get a menu for him now? "Hold on. By the way, is there anything else you need? Lenora changed the topic, merely hoping that Zachary would forget about the menu in a while.
"No, I just wanted to hear your voice. You can put your phone aside, and we can chat while you eat."
Lenora was baffled.
"Just a few more bites, and then I'll head back." She contemplated before responding.
One lie eventually leads to another.
Lenora sighed inwardly.
Zachary said, "Even after you've gotten into the taxi, don't hang up. It's late, and I don't want you to encounter any danger alone." Lenora was truly at a loss for words.
After some thought, Lenora ended the call abruptly and turned off her mobile phone.
After she returned to the hotel, she would call Zachary explaining that her phone had run out of battery and had switched off.
She reckoned that was the perfect excuse.
Lenora slipped her phone into her pocket and returned to the private room.
Around the nearby corner, Zachary listened to the disconnected tone in the handset, staring at the darkened screen, a trace of a cold smirk appearing on his face.
Had he not seen it with his own eyes, he might have been truly deceived by Lenora's impressive acting skills.
True to form for someone handpicked by a director from the entertainment industry to act. She really puts on a good
show!
Lenora returned to the private room, where Robin was prepared to give up his seat for her. However, Lenora insisted he finish his current game.
After a few more rounds, Oswald received a phone call and had to excuse himself due to some business. Ezekiel suggested, "Let's call it a day." Following that, the gathering dispersed.
Ezekiel stood up and said to Lenora, "Don't bother hailing a cab. I'm heading in the same direction. I'll give you a ride home."
"All right. Thanks, Ezekiel Following the host's lead, Lenora didn't refuse.

Just as Howard reached the door, he scoffed. That intimate, huh?
Lenora followed Ezekiel to the underground garage. They took their seats in the back, one on the left and one on the right, as the driver started the car and drove off.
Within a black sedan not too far away, Zachary spotted the figures of two people. His eyes were a dark abyss as he relayed the hotel address to the driver.
The car came to a halt at the hotel entrance. Lenora stepped out, steadying herself against the car door. She turned around and said, "Ezekiel, thank you. I'm heading up now. Have a safe right back." "Okay. What time is your flight tomorrow? I'll come to see you off."
"Would that be too much trouble for you?"
"No worries. I sent you here, so I'm definitely taking you back," Ezekiel said with a smile on his face, showing no airs.
Lenora responded frankly, "My flight is at one in the afternoon."
"I'll come pick you up around noon and will send you a message when I'm on my way."
"All right. Thanks, Ezekiel. See you tomorrow."
"See you."
you"
Lenora waved goodbye to Ezekiel and entered the hotel
The car remained at a distance, with Ezekiel watching Lenora's figure until it vanished from sight, only then did he instruct the driver to leave.
As Lenora stepped out of the elevator, she simultaneously fumbled for her room key in her bag.
As she rounded the corner, her steps faltered.
A familiar, upright figure stood at the entrance of her room.
Even without seeing his face, she knew it was Zachary.
A thunderous roar echoed in Lenora's mind.
How did he end up in Jeahron?
Given Zachary's status, it was a simple task for him to replace out which hotel she was staying at.
Lenora swallowed hard.
About an hour and a half had passed since their phone conversation.
Back then, she had mentioned that she only had a few bites left, and then she would return home. Flavor Fiesta had several branches, yet it took less than half an hour to reach any of them from the hotel. Lenora was pondering if she should perhaps say that she headed to

few things, pretending as if she had returned home early but had actually been cam shopping
With these thoughts in mind, Lenora subtly took a step back before Zachary could conice her
Suddenly, Zachary turned his head and saw her.
Lenora paused momentarily on her second step out, smoothly transitioning into advancing formed Upon reaching her room's entrance, she nonchalantly asked, "What brings you to Jeabrot
Zachary's gaze dropped, landing on Lenora's figure, deep and distant, as he remained silent
Lenora felt increasingly self-conscious under his gaze. "What's wrong" the siked
"Nothing. I was here on a business trip and arrived this morning I've been bosy until now. That's why I only just got the chance to replace you," Zachary explained
Just a while ago, his driver had driven fast, allowing him to reach the hotel before Lenora
"Why didn't you get some rest? Why are you here?"
Lenora pushed open the door. Zachary instinctively followed her in, gently closing the door behind him -I tried to call you but couldn't get through. I was worried something might have happened to you, so I had no choice but to wait here," he said. For a fleeting moment, Lenora felt a pang of guilt
Her phone had remained off till now. "Oh, my phone ran out of battery and shut down automatically."
Zachary's lips curled into a casual smile as he asked, seemingly offhandedly. "Didn't you say you'd be back after dinner? Why did you come back so late?"
Lenora paused for a moment, placing her bag on the coffee table. She tried her best to maintain her composure. "I just went for a stroll around the supermarket." "You didn't buy anything?" Zachary glanced at her empty hands.
"I forgot my phone ran out of battery," Lenora responded immediately and smoothly.
She was truly brilliant to have connected her lies together..
"I see. I thought something had happened to you. I called you several times. Don't do this again next time."
"All right."
Lenora gave a nonchalant nod, plugging in her phone to charge. "Now that you know I'm safe, you should go back and rest."
Zachary hesitated for a moment, pointing at the phone's lit-up screen. "It seems like your phone's on."
The moment the turned-off smartphone was plugged in, the screen lit up, indicating the remaining battery life and charging status. Lenora's heart skipped a beat,
