Chapter 451 Zachary Is The Best

"Hello, Zachary?"

Lenora was wondering how to break the news to Zachary when her phone rang. It was none other than Zachary.

"Have you eaten?"

"I've just finished," Lenora said.

From the other end of the line, Zachary's deep and charismatic voice echoed, accompanied by the faint sound of keyboard strokes, indicating he was working overtime. "Nora, have you finished work? When will you be back?" he asked.

Just a few hours ago, Zachary had decided on the final version of his photos. The magazine publisher had already taken it for its layout design.

Lenora paused for a moment, tugged at the corner of her lips, and avoided the question. "Is Hattie still at the Fuller residence?"

Zachary stopped typing when he heard Lenora's obvious attempt to change topics. He had a hunch about what was coming. He pursed his lips and said, "I've brought her over. When is your flight? I'll pick you up... Don't tell me you're not coming back." Lenora knew there was no avoiding it. She sighed, resigning herself to speak candidly. "Recently, I must admit... I'm unable... to return..."

Her voice gradually faded away.

"What's wrong?" Zachary's voice grew serious in an instant.

"Someone approached me with an offer to photograph their new clothing line. If all goes well, I might be able to return by next weekend. If not..."

Lenora didn't finish her sentence, as she was certain Zachary knew what she was trying to convey.

Upon seeing Zachary remain silent, Lenora made her stance clear, her tone firm and confident. "Zachary, you promised me last time that I could work here. I've already accepted the offer from them..."

Hearing Lenora's cautious tone, Zachary felt helpless and retorted, "I haven't even said anything yet, how do you know that I disagree?"

"When you spoke in that tone..." Lenora pouted, then laughed and corrected herself. "Yes, yes, you're the best, Zack. I knew you would definitely understand. Don't worry, I'll finish my work as soon as possible and come back!" Upon hearing her call him Zack, Zachary was struck by an epiphany.

This nickname hasn't been used in ages.

Just then, a child's innocent voice was heard in the background, gentle, obedient, and utterly endearing. "Uncle Zachary, are you on the phone with Aunt Lenora?"

"Mmm-hmm, would you like to come over and speak to her?"

""Of course!"

apart from Harrietta, Lenora felt her heart warmed by her childlike babble. "Hattie," she said, "I've missed you too. How was your trip with your great-grandma?" Unaware of Zachary's circumstances, Harrietta thought it was just an ordinary trip. She excitedly shared her travel experiences with Lenora, recounting eloquently what she saw. Halfway through, the quick-witted young girl suddenly asked, "Aunt Lenora,
