Chapter 66 Art Comes From Reality

Zachary didn't bring his driver along. Lenora opened the passenger side door, settled in, and fastened her seatbelt. Zachary sat in the driver's seat and didn't start the car immediately.

He lifted his hand, loosening his collar, and asked nonchalantly, "Did you tell the doctor I was your ex-husband?"

A jolt went through Lenora's heart.

Did he find out that I'm pregnant?

Lenora shot a wary glance at Zachary, her hands slowly clenching beside her legs. "What's wrong? Are you worried people will find out Susanna broke up our marriage and caused our divorce?" "Lenora, that's not what I meant."

"Then what is it?" Lenora raised an eyebrow as she looked at him.

Zachary pressed his lips together. "Don't be so sensitive. I'm not blaming you."

As Lenora's husband, hearing her refer to him as her ex-husband left him feeling slightly uneasy.

"Maybe I'm just being sensitive," Lenora casually replied. "I said it right after the car accident. We were already on the verge of divorce, so you were basically my ex-husband."

Zachary didn't say much. He simply started the car and drove off.

Lenora stealthily glanced at Zachary's expression and let out a sigh of relief.

He probably doesn't know yet.

Lenora closed her eyes, lost in deep thought.

Grandpa is getting better, and we won't be getting a divorce anytime soon. As time goes by, the size of my belly will give it away...

But by then, I will be far along in my pregnancy. With Grandma and Grandpa's protection, Zachary wont be able to force me to get an abortion.

The car came to a halt in the underground parking lot of the Fuller Group building.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

Lenora and Zachary alighted from the car and entered the elevator together.

The elevator gradually ascended, and neither of them spoke.

When the elevator came to a halt, Lenora was the first to step out.

On her way to her office, she passed through the open-plan office. Several employees greeted her in anison, "Ms. Wilkin."

"Ms. Wilkin, are you feeling better now?"

With a gentle smile, Lenora nodded at them. "Thank you for your concern. I'm feeling much better now,"

Lenora headed toward her office.

Behind her, the soft murmur of hushed conversations echoed.

"Guess what, I just saw Ms. Wilkin and Mr. Fuller coming out of the elevator together."

"Don't just believe what you read in the media. Ms. Wilkin and Mr. Fuller are siblings. Don't overthink it"

"What kind of siblings go out to watch a musical late at night, or get drunk and hop into a car in the middle of the night? They didn't even grow up together I don't believe they truly share a sibling bond."

"I have some insider scoop. Would you guys like to hear it?"

"What is it? Let's hear it."

siders s that Ms. Wilkin initially had no chance of joining the company. Old Mr. Fuller raised her

put of respect for her father. I mean, how could he possibly let her get involved in the Fuller family's business? But Ms. Wilkin wasn't willing to accept this. Since Old Mr. Fuller is alive, she's still the young lady of the Fuller family in name. Once he's gone, she'll be nothing. So, she has to get into Fuller Group and secure her position."

"And then what?"

"Don't you get it? She's involved with Mr. Fuller because she needs support. Old Mr. Fuller is getting on in years, and who knows when he might pass away. As for the supposed sibling bond, take it with a grain of salt. Even in wealthy families, real brothers can turn against each other. By the time Ms. Wilkin came into the picture, Mr. Fuller was already an adult. What kind of sibling affection are we talking about?"

"No way, I don't think Ms. Wilkin is that kind of person

"Why not? Haven't you heard that art comes from reality? In these wealthy households, even the most improbable events can happen."

"What are you talking about?" A stern voice suddenly echoed from behind.

The employees quickly fell silent. "Mr. Lancaster."

Miles ga

gave them a cold look. "Have you forgotten the company's rules? Gossiping and discussing superiors during office hours? If it happens again, you'll all be dismissed!"

The open-plan office was eerily quiet, and no one dared to speak again.

Fuller Group had a workplace group chat, primarily for disseminating information.

The primary person in charge of the large group was Skylar Zimmer from the CEO's office.

Zachary was also part of the group, serving as an administrator. However, he had never made his presence

known.

The group chat was typically quiet, as the presence of leaders deterred employees from casual chatter.

The most common response was, "Noted."

That day, all the employees received a mass notification that tagged everyone in the group. Expecting an announcement from Skylar, they were stunned when they opened it.

The message came from Zachary

Did Mr. Fuller just send a message in the group?

The message read: Article 53 of the Fuller Group Employee Code of Conduct: Employees must maintain a diligent and professional attitude at all times. During work hours, idle chatter, laughter, and non-work-related discussions are strictly forbidden, as is spreading rumors. Criticizing or gossiping about management is also prohibited. Violators will face consequences. For the first offense, a warning will be issued and ten percent of the monthly salary will be deducted. For the second offense, the penalty increases to a troenty percent pay cut, with potential reconsideration for exceptional performance. On the third offense, the employee will be dismissed and permanently barred from reemployment.

Soon, many "Noted" messages began to appear in response.

The rumors began when Susanna visited the company looking for Zachary. Employees buzzing about it, and after seeing Zachary and Susanna together a few times, some even started shipping them as a couple. Later, when Zachary was spotted with Lenora, the gossip mill went into overdrive once again.

It was merely a rumor. They believed no matter how widely it spread, it would never reach Zachary, as the man had never bothered himself with such trivial matters before.

Yet, he had spoken up that day.

Although it was merely a repetition of Article 53 of the Employee Code, not a single person dared to take it lightly.

At that moment, another message came in: Please also be informed that Ms. Wilkin's leave has ended, and she has returned to work at the company today.

Zachary seemed to be dispelling the rumors on Lenora's behalf with that statement.

As Lenora was also in the large group, she saw the message as well.

She stared blankly at her phone screen for a moment.

She suddenly recalled that shortly after joining the company, she had gone to the CEO's office to report on her work. Miles had been there too, and she had addressed him as Zack. Zachary, with a serious expression, had corrected her, insisting that within the company she should always address him as Mr. Fuller whether others were around or not.

At work, he always maintained a strictly professional demeanor. He never displayed any signs of intimacy, treating her no differently than any other employee.

She had thought that was just his personality.

But after Susanna returned, she realized that Zachary could show bias in his work.

However, it was never in her favor.

That day, Zachary had spoken up in the large group to defend her.

But Lenora wasn't as elated as she imagined she would be.

She no longer needed it.

When the news first broke, he was unwilling to defend her. Now, it felt too late.

The damage was done, and his messages seemed somewhat pointless,

Lenora put down her phone and realized she had received a group email from Skylar.

It was a disciplinary notice that read: An accidental misstep by the Public Relations Department's media operations intern yesterday impacted both Ms. Lenora and the company. Consequently, the intern's contract was prematurely terminated. Additionally, due to insufficient oversight, Lola Wimble, the director of the Public Relations Department, will face a penalty of a fifty percent deduction from her annual bonus.

After reading it, Lenora continued with her work.

She certainly wouldn't flatter herself into believing that Zachary was standing up for her.

After all, that was the company's official account. Every action and statement represented the company.

Lola had used her public position for personal gain and she deserved to be punished.

Fuller Group was known for its strict rules and large number of employees. No one wanted to be caught in a compromising situation and reported to the higher-ups. Only a few dared to gossip in private.

When Lenora went to the pantry and used the restroom, she felt a pair of eyes on her, following her every

move.

Upon exiting the restroom, she ran into Lola.
