Chapter 30
However, just as the tension between them reached its peak, they heard the sound of someone turning the doorknob from outside.
Someone was about to come in!
At that moment, Sheena hatched a plan and glared at Elijah maliciously.
She was about to shout for help, but before she could make a sound, Elijah firmly covered her mouth.
The person outside tried to open the door but failed, so they knocked and asked, “Excuse me, is anyone in there? Can you please open the door?”
A familiar and delicate female voice could be heard.
Both Sheena and Elijah were stunned.
Jennifer?
What a coincidence!
Sheena noticed Elijah’s change in expression, and she thought he must be extremely nervous.
To be caught red–handed with his ex–wife in the women’s restroom by his fiancee? What an exciting twist that would be!
Sheena had almost forgotten that she was the one with him and smirked as she struggled, making muffled sounds.
“Shut up! Are you crazy?” Elijah hissed at her, increasing the pressure of his hand.
On the other side of the door, Jennifer leaned in closer to listen. It sounded like a man’s voice was inside, and it resembled Elijah’s.
How could that be? It could not possibly be Elijah!
She quickly looked up at the restroom sign, confirming that it was indeed the women’s
restroom.
Why would Elijah be in there?
Though she found it hard to believe, Jennifer decided to be cautious and picked up her phone to call Elijah.
Two seconds passed, and his ringtone could be heard from inside the restroom.
Realizing that something was off, Jennifer’s mind conjured an image of the two of them in an intimate position.
Jennifer instantly became agitated and pounded on the door with even more force.
“Sheena, are you in there? Open the door! Come out!” Jennifer shouted. She did not want to ruin Elijah’s reputation, so she only screamed Sheena’s name.
The phone call was still connected, and the ringing continued. However, the inside of the restroom remained silent.
Jennifer’s rationality was almost overwhelmed by her anger. The quieter it was inside, the more she believed that some scandalous and secretive affair was going on in there.
“Sheena, come out right now! Why won’t you speak? Are you afraid everyone will know that you’re seducing my fiance? Did you think I didn’t know that it was you?” Jennifer kept yelling. Sheena, who initially thought she could watch the drama unfold, was surprised that Jennifer had only been shouting her name from the beginning. At this rate, the whole restaurant would soon know about her and Elijah being alone in the women’s restroom.
As she thought about that, Sheena glanced at Elijah’s unbelievably composed expression. It was as if the entire thing had nothing to do with him.
Why did he get to remain calm while she had to be anxious because of Jennifer’s words?
It was unfair!
As if she realized something, Sheena glared at him and smirked, “I shouldn’t be the one getting nervous. I can’t wait to see if you can still calmly explain yourself to Jennifer!”
Then, she forcefully shook off Elijah’s grasp, and he did not stop her as she went straight to open the door.
you
don’t open
the door,
Jennifer was seething with rage outside the door and continued, “If I’ll have someone come and break it down! I’ll expose your shameless act of seducing my fiance in front of everyone!”
Just then, the lock suddenly made a turning sound.
The door opened slightly, and Sheena flashed a sly smile.
“Just as I thought, it’s you!” Jennifer’s eyes burned with hatred. “Why didn’t you open the door just now? Who was talking to you inside? Was it Eli?“
