Chapter 525
“I remember…” Sheena not only remembered but recalled vividly. “Later, I even deliberately looked into the matter. Elliot said it wasn’t sulfuric acid but some S40 potent corrosive agent.”
Lionel sighed. “Mr. Jenkins didn’t want you to feel guilty, so he lied. In reality, it’s the S404 biohazard virus.”
Biohazard virus?
Sheena frowned, and her heart skipped a beat. Even though she was not versed in medical research, she knew the implications of this term and the severity of the harm it could cause to the body–it was definitely not a minor issue!
Lionel continued to sigh, slowly explaining, “This virus is terrifying, spreading rapidly, and currently, there’s no cure, not even in the lab…”
Ten minutes later, in the main seat of the conference room, Elliot listened to Mr. Urie’s report while glancing at his watch.
Lionel was still not back with the documents, and a subtle displeasure emanated from Elliot.
Soon, an unsettling aura filled the meeting room.
The other executives held their breath, trying to diminish their presence, as they noticed Elliot’s unusually irritable mood today, and he seemed on the verge of flying into a rage.
Suddenly, a commotion erupted outside the meeting room.
“Ms. Lawson! Mr. Jenkins is in a meeting. You can’t go in!”
Shortly after, the meeting room door was forcefully pushed open.
Sheena stood at the entrance, her gaze fixed on Elliot.
The entire Jenkins Group knew her identity, and the guards dared not lay a hand on her.
One of them explained, sounding a bit aggrieved, “Mr. Jenkins, Ms. Lawson insisted on entering…”
Dozens of eyes in the meeting room turned to Sheena. However, she seemed oblivious to their presence, her eyes glued to Elliot.
Elliot did not turn his head to look at her. Instead, he picked up the coffee on the table, elegantly took a sip, and then spoke calmly, “Ms. Lawson, if you have something to say, wait until I finish the meeting. Security, escort Ms. Lawson to the office.”
“Yes, Mr. Jenkins.”
The security guard, respectful in demeanor, prepared to escort Sheena out but was met with an icy glare from Sheena.

Sheena bypassed them and walked directly toward the man in the main seat of the conference room.
“Elliot, did you call me Ms. Lawson again?”
Her tone carried a hint of grievance, and her voice trembled slightly.
Elliot’s heart skipped a beat, and he turned to look at her. However, when his gaze met her misty, sparkling eyes, he could not help but feel a surge of panic.
“Nana…”
Sheena had already briskly walked up to him. In front of everyone in the meeting room, she leaned down and kissed his cold, pale lips.
Everyone in the meeting room was shocked by the scene.
They were all aware of the recent news about the two of them sharing a passionate kiss at the charity gala. However, no one expected that a routine meeting at the office would also turn into a public display of affection!
After all, they were in a professional setting, the conference room, with so many executives and guards watching. Coupled with his intention to maintain a distance from Sheena, Elliot resisted succumbing to her kiss.
With a clear mind, he leaned back in his chair, avoiding her lips, and prepared to grab her hands to stop the unexpected kiss.
“This is the Jenkins Group’s conference room. Don’t act recklessly!”
Unexpectedly, as soon as he made a move, Sheena, as if anticipating it, swiftly seized his wrist, lifted it over her head, and pressed his hands firmly against the back of the office chair.
Elliot struggled for a moment, but he lacked the strength to resist Sheena’s skilled moves.
Sheena raised an eyebrow, and after enduring Elliot’s recent coldness and using formal addresses, she felt compelled to kiss him again.
