The following morning, Lenora woke up to find that Zachary had already gotten up. He was fully dressed and waiting by the dining table for her to join him for breakfast before they headed to the office together.

At the office, there was a knock on the door. Lenora glanced up from her computer. "Come in."

It was Miles. "Ms. Wilkin, Mr. Fuller asked me to deliver this document to you," he said as he entered.

"Put it here." Lenora gestured toward her desk.

"All right."

After Miles left, Lenora picked up the folder, but inside, instead of the usual formal documents, there was just a sheet of paper detailing Zachary's schedule for the past week, every detail accounted for, from his work engagements to lunch and dinner meetings. He used to share his itinerary with her, but never in this much detail.

For example, he had a lunch appointment that day.

Just then, a message came through on her phone. Zachary wrote: I won't be in the office at noon. I've arranged your lunch. Afterward, you can rest in my lounge if you'd like.

Lenora replied: Okay.

At lunchtime, Miles delivered her meal. After finishing. Lenora went to Zachary's lounge for a short rest.

When she woke up, it was nearly time for her afternoon shift. She quickly slipped on her shoes and tidied her clothes. Just as she was about to leave, she heard voices coming from the outer office. "Anything else?" Zachary's voice floated in.

He's back.

It was followed by the unmistakable voice of Lola. "Yes, just a personal matter. Today's my birthday, and I'm planning to invite some colleagues from our department for dinner and karaoke. Since you canceled. your event tonight, would you like to join us?" "We'll see," Zachary responded, his tone neutral.

"Please, Mr. Fuller, it would mean a lot to us. It's just a small department gathering," Lola pressed. "I heard you recently went to a hot spring resort with other departments. You wouldn't want us to feel left out, would you?" "All-right, I'll consider it," he said.

I'll send you the address then."
