Chapter 249
Sheena lightly furrowed her brows, sensing a hint of teasing in his words. She coldly huffed, sarcastically saying, “I don’t remember if you were up to it before, but now…”
Elijah’s face instantly paled, understanding her implication. Thanks to the injected modified drug, his stamina was not what it used to be. However, surrendering in that department was out of the
question as a man.
Without much thought, he replied, “Should we try now? See if I’m still good enough?”
“Elijah!”
Sheena was infuriated and glared at him. She harshly pinched his left cheek, giving it a firm twist.
Elijah’s face contorted in pain. Unable to dodge, he could only whine cutely, “Eek, ouch…”
Sheena released her grip.
His left cheek turned red. Despite clearly being in pain, he dared not rub it while in her presence, looking pitiful and submissive. Although Sheena knew he was intentionally putting on a show, his miserable appearance eased her anger.
“Get out of the car. It’s the first day of your life–or–death trial. I’m heading back to Angle Group.”
“Okay.”
Elijah first brushed off the thin dust on his knee, straightened his collar, and then opened the car door with a cold expression before stepping out.
Observing his smooth transition of expressions, Sheena could not help but think what a waste it was that he was not an actor. She made a call to arrange for John and Owen in the car to follow Elijah before heading to Angle Group herself.
When deeply engrossed in work, time always flew by. Approaching the end of the workday, Sheena was about to call Sarah to inquire about the progress of the Delomora project. However, she received an incoming call from Sarah just as she was about to make the call.
Sarah sounded quite excited, saying, “Miss, I don’t know what Mr. Freeman did, but the project is back to its normal order! And it’s only his very first day! The atmosphere at the construction site is harmonious. It’s like magic!”
Sheena frowned slightly, “You’ve only known him for a day, but you speak so highly of him. Are you
on his side now?”
“Oh? No, no, no! I’m forever yours, Miss. My heart is yours, my life is yours, and even when I die, I’m
yours…”
Sheena interrupted, “Enough. I don’t need a pretty ghost.”
Sarah chuckled twice.

Sheena regained her composure and instructed, “Continue to work with him. Review all his decisions personally. Entrust him publicly, but behind the scenes, you take charge. Also, learn from his approach to handling problematic projects.”
“Yes, Miss.”
After ending the call, Sheena proceeded to organize Phoebe’s schedule. Taking advantage of the current momentum, Sheena helped Phoebe secure some brand endorsements in addition to the scheduled performances for the group.
Because this was Phoebe’s first endorsement shoot, Sheena was concerned about her stage fright. Hence, she planned to monitor the situation tonight. However, she also intended to leave work half an hour early tonight to check Elijah’s housekeeping skills.
Wendy was being assigned other tasks by Sheena, which led her to think it might be a good idea for Howard to oversee the situation. When Howard received her call, he was quite surprised.
“Nana, you’re letting me oversee a new artist’s endorsement shoot? Am I not important to you anymore?”
“Howard, you’ve misunderstood. Phoebe is currently a priority for me to develop as an artist. Having you there will showcase the company’s high regard for her. From a different perspective, it’s a sign of my utmost regard for you.”
Howard knew she was just being sweet, but hearing his beloved sister say she regarded him the most still warmed his heart.
“Slick talker, help you out this time.”
“Thanks, Howard.”
After sorting out everything, Sheena drove back to Ocean Avenue.
