Wing Elliot, he must have had some bad Intentions.
Annoyed, Sheena raised her hand and flicked his forehead.
This is about work, so be serious.”
Elliot frowned and rubbed his sore forehead, employing a deflecting tactic.
I’m talking about something serious. You’re the one thinking in the wrong direction.”
Sheena raised an eyebrow.
Did that mean she was not as naive anymore?
She flicked Elliot’s forehead again, accusing him firmly, “That’s because you’ve corrupted me with your dirty talk,”
Elliot knew Sheena would blame him for it no matter what. Hence, he just hung his head
obediently and remained silent.
Seeing him behave, Sheena kissed him on the cheek and then remembered the delay of the bidding conference by half an hour.
Curiously, she asked, “Neil is the heir apparent of Ardolisia after all, with high status and authority. Moreover, he’s such a principled person. Why would he agree to your request without hesitation? What did you say to him?”
Elliot’s expression turned mysterious. “Do you really want to know?”
Sheena nodded.
He flashed a mischievous smile and remained secretive.
It’s classified.”
Sheena seemed on the verge of getting angry.
Sensing this, Elliot swiftly changed the subject.
“Alright, Honey, let’s get ready. If we don’t make it to the bidding conference in half an hour, it won’t look good.”
Sheena gave him a disdainful glance but decided to prioritize the important task.
She headed to the bathroom to freshen up, change into her formal attire, and apply a quick five- minute face mask before putting on delicate makeup.
Within half an hour, the two of them arrived at the venue of the bidding conference
The entrance was calm and quiet, with only the bodyguards and Queens waiting
The other guests were already seated in the conference hall.
Queena spotted the couple and hurriedly approached.
Mr. Jenkins, Ma, Lawson, you’re finally here,” she said, smoothly taking Sheena’s hand and leading
her into the venue.
As they walked, Queena whispered, “Ms. Lawson, are you feeling better? Is it still hurting? Do you need to take more medicine?”
“Huh?” Sheena looked puzzled. “What are you talking about?”
Thinking Sheena was just being shy, Queena clicked her tongue and gave a knowing smile.
“Ardolisia is open–minded, and things between couples are normal, especially since we’re all women here. Ms. Lawson, you don’t need to be embarrassed.”
Sheena was utterly confused.
What on earth was she talking about?
She glanced back at Elliot trailing behind her, giving him a sharp glare.
What did he say to Neil to delay the auction?
Elliot chuckled innocently, but Sheena narrowed her eyes, silently threatening him.
Queena, still holding onto Sheena, leaned in close and asked in a gossipy tone, “Ms. Lawson, Mr. Jenkins must be quite passionate, huh? Otherwise, how did you get injured?”
She giggled indeed, “Ms. Lawson, you’re really lucky. I’m so jealous!”
Sheena remained silent throughout, and Queena got bored talking alone.
Thankfully, they happened to reach the entrance of the conference hall, ending their private conversation abruptly.
The entire conference hall was unusually quiet, with occasional whispers from the guests.
Amidst the curious gazes of the crowd, Sheena and Elliot, led by Queena, took their seats in the
front row.
As all the guests assembled, the bidding conference officially commenced, and the slight discord. caused by Sheena and Elliot’s late arrival stopped.
Neil took the stage and delivered the necessary opening speech.
After a few minutes, Neil’s speech concluded, and the venue erupted into enthusiastic applause.
Afterward, the conference staff stepped forward to collect USB drives containing project
proposal files from each group leader attending the conference, ensuring meticulous organization and efficiency throughout the event.
