The commercial shoot officially began. Lenora arrived early at the photography studio, instructing her crew to set up the scene.
Before long, the photographer and the makeup artist arrived one after the other. Both of them were long-time partners of Lenora. Having worked together for many years, they could understand what kind of effect Lenora wanted with just a single sentence. The venue was almost ready. Lenora glanced at her watch. It was nearly nine in the morning. half an hour past the agreed time, yet Susanna and her team were nowhere to be seen.
Milly had already reminded Susanna once.
The photographer, Fiona Rogue, fiddled with her camera and exclaimed, "Susanna sure has a big ego."
The makeup artist, Sophia Tortell, laughed mockingly and said, "What can we do? She just returned from abroad and wants to act like a diva. What can we do about it? Can we fire her? Not even Lenora has that power, right?" Everyone knew that the spokesperson was personally appointed by Zachary.
At other times, as the director of MQ, Lenora naturally had the right to replace people. However, she couldn't replace Susanna.
Even if Susanna acted high and mighty, everyone still had to put up with it.
Lenora pulled out her phone, scrolled to Yelena's number, and dialed it directly.
The call connected, and the sound of the telephone ring echoed through the receiver.
Then, there was a beep.
The call was disconnected.Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
Sophia was taken aback, anger rising within her. They are simply too outrageous. They don't even take you seriously anymore just because they have Mr. Fuller's support."
After they waited for a few minutes, there still was no explanatory message or anything received via WhatsApp.
Lenora made another call.
After the call was made, the call was disconnected again on the other end.

After several more attempts, the call still didn't go through.

Lenora put away her phone and said to Fiona and Sophia, "I guess they'll be here by noon at the latest. You guys should go back first. I'll let you know when you're needed." Having worked for so many years, Lenora had dealt with numerous c

Sophia sneered, "After so many years of working, this is the first time I've encountered such a big shot. Just because they've spent a few years abroad and gained a golden veneer, they think they're something special. But up until now, they haven't won a single top-tier award, domestically or internationally, nor have they had a box office hit. I really don't know where they get the nerve to act so high and mighty?"
"Don't be upset. I'll treat you all to a meal another day. Sorry for the trouble," Lenora said.
"Then we'll head back first."
Fiona and Sophia bade farewell to Lenora, then left the photography studio first.
Lenora didn't leave. Instead, she had Milly bring her laptop and set up an office in the lounge.
After a while, a wave of clamor drifted in from outside, pulling Lenora's thoughts away from her work. She glanced at her watch. It was already half past eleven.
Her guess was indeed correct.

At that moment, Milly knocked on the door. "Ms. Wilkin, Ms. Carston and her på arrived."
"All right, I understand." Lenora shut down her laptop, stretched lazily, and unhurriedly packed it into her bag.
She then picked up her bag and walked out of the lounge.
Upon seeing Lenora, Yelena smiled. She stepped forward and said, "Ms. Wilkin, I'm really Sorry. The
company suddenly held an early meeting this morning, which delayed things. At that time, my phone was with my assistant. The brat hung up the phone and didn't even think to notify me to reply with messages. I'll definitely teach him a lesson when I get back. I hope you won't mind."
Despite her words, her face showed not the slightest hint of apology.
"I'm sorry for making you wait so long, Nora. There really was an unexpected incident today," Susanna said.
Lenora chuckled lightly and said, "No worries. I was just about to head back."

Yelena said with a smile, "Ms. Wilkin, you can go back with peace of mind. There's no need to keep an eye on things here all the time. There are other staff members present."
Lenora smiled. "What I mean is, we're not photographing anything today."
The smile on Yelena's face froze, her expression turning cold. "Ms. Wilkin, what is the meaning of this?"
"I meant what I said."
"You're messing with us, aren't you? If you weren't going to shoot, why didn't you let us know in advance? You made us take a trip for nothing
The situation was urgent, and neither the makeup artist nor the photographer was present. I was planning to call you this morning to inform you of this, but to my surprise, I couldn't get through after several attempts. There was no way you would ignore my calls, so I thought it must be the doing of your assistant. Therefore, I believe your assistant is irresponsible. Event if he were to receive the information, he might not relay it to you. That's why I've been waiting here for you, to ensure you won't be left in the lurch when you arrive." When Yelena and Susanna heard that, a slight crack appeared in their expressions.
"Now that I've informed you both about the matter, I have other matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving first. For tomorrow's shoot, I hope neither of you will be late." With a warm and cool smile, Lenora finished speaking, picked up her notebook, and strode away. Yelena and Susanna stood still, watching the retreating figure of Lenora, their faces darkening with anger.
"I've got to hand it to her! I didn't expect her to be this cunning," spat Yelena.
Susanna chuckled. "I told you that such tactics won't work on her. Think about it. Could the woman who managed to win over Zack after I left be a simple character?" "What should we do now?"
Yelena knew that she had already used up her excuse for being late earlier. If it happened again tomorrow, it would be inexcusable.
Susanna swayed her phone lightly. "I'll call Zack
Lenora was a strong-willed individual, not someone who could be easily swayed by others. The only person capable of hurting her was Zachary.
