Chapter 456 Is The Child Mine

"No matter her intentions, I won't let her succeed!" Zachary declared righteously.

With a light chuckle, Lenora remarked, "At least you're sensible."

Having passed this hurdle, Zachary let out a small sigh of relief. "Nora, you know her, don't you?"

He spoke with certainty.

Lenora didn't deny it, responding, "From what you're implying, she mentioned me to you. What did she tell you?"

"I won't believe anything she said," he asserted.

Lenora raised an eyebrow. "Zachary, you being on the right track now makes me see you in a new light."

Zachary chuckled lightly and changed the topic. "When will you be back?"

"Soon."

Before returning to the country, Lenora invited Bella, Jermaine, and others for a feast, saying she would return if given the opportunity.

At twenty minutes past eight in the morning, Madison entered the office area. From a distance, she spotted a cup of soy milk on her desk and a lunch box beside it. Upon opening the box, she found five pancakes, five fritters, and two pieces of bread. There was also a paper bag next to it, inside which was a single poached egg.

Madison furrowed her brows slightly, instinctively glancing at the nearby Connor.

The latter flashed her a smile.

Madison averted her gaze and settled down in her seat. She pulled out her phone, swiftly locating Connor's WhatsApp. Her fingers danced across the screen, typing a quick message that read: I'll leave the breakfast in the pantry later. Get it yourself. The company did not permit office romances.

Madison and Connor worked in the same department but were on different projects and their work didn't overlap much. His bringing her breakfast would seem out of the blue and might lead people to suspect a budding romance.

Connor only dared to leave breakfast on her desk by taking advantage of the early hour when the office area was still empty.

If someone were to see, a round of teasing would be manageable, but the real fear was someone tattling to the superiors.

Connor texted back: I brought it for you. Just eat it.
