Wait, She’s a Billionaire ( Sheena Lawson )
Chapter 1022
No, I wonât
Elliot persisted, still attempting to get closer, but Sheenaâs foot kept him at bay.
âHoney, if you canât get out of bed tomorrow, Iâll help you since Iâm here in Ardolisia with you.
There wonât be any surprises.â
Sheena shook her head in disbelief. âThen, if I donât feel like eating in the future, Iâll just let you eat for me. Letâs see if your belly feels full after youâve eaten enough.*
Elliot fell silent, lowering his gaze and looking like a disappointed puppy.
Unable to bear his dejected expression, Sheena sighed and softened her tone.
âCanât you be a little more obedient? Itâs already late. If we donât rest now, I wonât have the energy to deal with tomorrowâs bidding conference. After the conference, we can go shopping at Ardolisiaâs largest mall. How about that?â
Elliot nodded, finally complying.
Sheena retracted her foot and lazily snuggled under the covers, closing her eyes to sleep.
Elliot obediently lay beside her, pulling her close and tucking her into his embrace.
Thinking about Sheenaâs suggestion to go shopping, he whispered in her ear, âThen⦠can you buy a cute dress when we go shopping?â
Half asleep, Sheena murmured, âOkay.â
Satisfied with her response, Elliot kissed her cheek and added, âI mean a maid costume, kitty costume, you know? And⦠black stockingsâ¦â
Sheena was too exhausted to respond and had already drifted into dreamland, simply replying,*
Mmhmm.
Nonetheless, Elliot was delighted. âHoney, you agreed. No backing out later.â
He tucked Sheena in, buried his nose in her hair, and fell asleep.
The bidding conference was scheduled for 1.00 p.m. the next day.
With the curtains drawn, the presidential suite was shrouded in darkness, perfect for sleep.
Sheena and Elliot were both still sound asleep, unaware that the bidding conference was about to
begin.
Queena noticed their absence and decided to call them.
The intrusive ringtone of the phone echoed repeatedly.
Sheena, still groggy from sleep, finally answered on the third ring.
âMs. Lawson, the bidding conference will start in five minutes. Are you and Mr. Jenkins stuck in traffic?â
The mention of the bidding conference instantly woke Sheena from her drowsy state.
âFive minutes?â
She sprang up from bed, ignoring her sore body, and hurriedly changed clothes.
Sheenaâs abrupt movements also startled Elliot awake.
Upon learning that they might be late for the bidding conference due to oversleeping from last nightâs sessions, he pursed his lips silently, grabbed his phone from the bedside table, and quickly typed a few messages.
A minute later, Sheenaâs phone rang again.
It was also Queena.
This time, her tone was less urgent as she said, âMs. Lawson, Mr. Gray has been informed of your and Mr. Jenkinsâs situation. The bidding conference will be delayed for another half an hour, so
you donât have to rush. Take your time.â
Sheena paused in the midst of putting on her dress, turning to look at Elliot, who lay calmly on the
bed.
âHoney, are you trying to have me abuse your connections? Are you trying to have all the guests at the bidding conference wait because of our tardiness?â
Elliot shrugged it off. âWhatâs wrong with that?â
Sheena felt a bit annoyed. âI donât like taking the back door. I preferâ¦â
Before she could finish her sentence, Elliot suddenly got up from the bed, pulled her into his arms, and in a seductive tone, said, âBut, you like taking my back door, and my back door is only open for
you.â
Sheenaâs expression froze.
