Miranda had bought the ingredients for the pasta.
"Allow me." Zachary took over the ingredients.

"Go make the call and ask her yourself." With an unwavering gaze, Lenora steadily advanced forward.
It was uncertain whether she could hear what Charles had said.
"Hey, such a great opportunity and you didn't accompany her? I heard today's banquet was extraordinary. They really went all out. Does Lenora know about it? If she does, she's bound to give you a hard time." Zachary responded with a question of his own, "Is there anything else?"
