No Remarriage: You Don't Deserve Me (Lenora and Zachary)

Chapter 7 I Cannot Let Him Be Born

Zachary looked at her expressionlessly, then glanced at Lola, his body radiating an icy-cold aura as he said, "You two are really in high spirits, arguing and making a fuss in front of the employees. Is this how you directors lead by example? What do you think this company is?" All the employees quickly shrank back, daring only to sneak a couple of glances.

Lola retorted confidently, "Mr. Fuller, I was working just fine when Ms. Wilkin suddenly stormed in and caused a ruckus. She even started hitting people without any reason. How can someone like this be fit to be a director?" Zachary's gaze fell on Lenora, his tone icy as he said, "Apologize."

Lenora took a deep breath and clenched her fists clenched tightly as she said, "I will only apologize to Ms. Wimble after she apologizes to me!"

As a director, she was in the wrong for hitting someone in the company, but she regretted nothing.

She was willing to bear the consequences, but only if Lola apologized to her first.

Lola looked at Zachary with a sense of injustice in her eyes. "I don't know what I did wrong, Mr. Fuller..."

Lenora was about to retort when Zachary interrupted her, "Apologize!"

His voice was strong and resolute, leaving no room for refusal.

Incredulously, Lenora tilted her head back and stared at his icy-cold expression. Her eyes watered up as a wave of sadness flowed through her body.

He didn't even bother to ask what really happened...

"I'll only say it one more time. Apologize," Zachary added.

Lenora's fingers dug into the flesh of her palm as she suppressed the urge to tremble. With a resentful look in her eyes, she glared at Lola and forced herself to apologize. "I'm sorry, Ms. Wimble."

A triumphant smile appeared on Lola's face. "This had better not happen again, Ms. Wilkin."

"However, Ms. Wimble, could you please explain why the spokesperson for the product was replaced?" Lenora asked in a cold voice.

Lola laughed, looking at Zachary as she replied, "Of course, it was Mr. Fuller who asked for the change."

Lenora was taken aback, staring at Zachary in surprise.

Zachary didn't deny it. Instead, he turned around and strode towards the CEO's office. "Come see me in my office, Ms. Wilkin."

Lenora took a deep breath, shot Lola a cold glance, and followed behind him.

After pushing the door open and entering the CEO's office, Lenora asked, "Why do you want to replace Yara, Mr. Fuller?"

Zachary sat down behind his desk, casting a casual glance at Lenora, and avoided the question by asking, "How's the divorce agreement coming along?"

Lenora tensed up slightly when she heard that. Each breath she took felt agonizing as she replied, "I've been a bit busy these past few days and haven't had the chance to look at it yet. But since you're in such a hurry, Mr. Fuller, I'll review it tonight." Zachary paused, looked deeply at Lenora, and said, "All right."

Upon hearing his resolute response, Lenora's heart filled with an even deeper bitterness. "If... I mean, if... We somehow have a child, would you still insist on a divorce?"

Zachary said in a cold voice, "There's no such thing, and even if there was, I would never let him be born."

"I see."

Lenora took a deep breath. Eager to resolve the matter and leave, she asked, "You've already approved the plan, so why do you want to replace Yara now?"

Such trivial matters are hardly worth Mr. Fuller's intervention!

"Naturally, I have my reasons for replacing her."

"I've been in charge of MQ since its inception. You hardly ever interfered with its development. If you wanted to replace someone, you should at least discuss it with me beforehand," Lenora said frankly.

Changing the spokesperson was a simple decision for him, but he had no idea that coaxing Yara, re-establishing the advertising plan and strategy around the new spokesperson, and coordinating the schedules of the new spokesperson and the photographer, were all tasks she and her team had to handle. The brand's direction and promotion plan also had to be adjusted accordingly. Zachary leaned back in his chair, crossing his legs as he said, "Change it to Susanna."

Like a bolt from the blue, Lenora's mind buzzed with a sudden chill and went blank for a moment. It took her a while to regain her composure. "Replace Yara with Susanna?" she asked in confusion.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

"Yes, that's right." Zachary's fingers curled up, tapping steadily on the table. "Susanna needs to return to her home country to develop her career, and this endorsement is the perfect starting point." Lenora took a deep breath, feeling as if even the air had turned into sharp blades, slicing her heart and lungs with intense pain.
