Chapter 434 Am I Pathetic

Lenora saw Zachary on a late evening in mid-July.

The sky was growing dark.

Carrying her camera bag, Lenora had just finished her day of shooting and was stepping out of a building.

On the stairs in front stood a tall man holding a bouquet of flowers, seemingly waiting for someone.

Lenora didn't notice him. She was glancing at her phone while walking forward, checking the license plates of passing cars as she waited for the ride-hailing service she had booked. Until Zachary, holding the bouquet, stepped forward and blocked her path.

"Nora."

Hearing the familiar voice, Lenora froze. She raised her head quickly and looked at Zachary in front of her, shock written across her face.

After standing still for two seconds, she asked indifferently, "What do you want?"

Seeing her attitude, Zachary realized asking for her forgiveness this time would be no easy task.

But it was his fault for making decisions on her behalf without informing her.

Awkwardly, he forced a smile and extended the bouquet. "I'm here to take you back."

Lenora looked at him in disbelief, then feigned ignorance. "Zachary, are you crazy? Don't tell me this is another bet with Susanna? I have no interest in being part of your games." "No," Zachary denied immediately. "Nora, I have nothing to do with her. I..."

"Zachary, do you take me for a fool?" Lenora interrupted him with a calm yet piercing gaze.

Zachary paused. Her cold and detached eyes silenced him.

Opening his mouth, he stammered, "No, Nora, please believe me. I know I'm about to face a crisis, and I was afraid you'd get caught up in it, so I staged that scene with Susanna." "Do you think I'd believe that?" Lenora asked mockingly.

Zachary grew anxious. "I can find someone to prove it to you."

Lenora chuckled lightly. "Zachary, if there's nothing else, I'll take my
