Wait, She’s a Billionaire

Was she planning to sleep in a separate room from him?

Sheena sensed his confusion and explained, “Both of us can’t resist tempting each other and might end up not sleeping properly when we share a bed. For the sake of your health, I think it’s better for us to sleep separately, at least for now.”

“But I’m used to it. I can’t sleep without you!”

Taking on his tone, Sheena replied in a spoiled manner, “Habits can be changed. At most, two nights, and you’ll get used to it.”

‘Ugh…‘ Elliot groaned internally.

Sheena used Elliot’s exact words and threw them back at him.

Elliot felt frustrated, unable to utter a single word, only looking at her with eyes full of grievances.

Sheena kissed his lips, a prolonged kiss that left a lingering taste.

“Goodnight, Eli. See you in the morning!” NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

Elliot watched her leave the room, feeling as if she had taken away all the warmth.

Following Sheena’s rules, Elliot obediently took his medicine under Lionel’s supervision for a whole week.

One noon, while handling official matters remotely in the study, Sheena video–called him right after the alarm went off.

“Eli, it’s time for your medicine!”

Suppressing the annoyance in his eyes, Elliot responded in a subdued yet steady voice, “Alright.”

Before he could end the call, Lionel entered with warm water and the piflbox, showing an attentive demeanor.

“Mr. Jenkins, your medicine is here.”

“You are quite… dedicated,” Elliot said coldly, casting a disdainful glance at him.

He took the water jonel offered, poured all the pills into his mouth, and swallowed them in one swift and decisive moboa

It was bitter!

With a pak face and a slight frown on his forehead, Elliot forcefully pushed down the nauseating feeling. He smiled faintly at the camera assuring Sheena that he had taken all the pills, and she ended the video call with relief.

The screen went black, and Elliot rushed to the bathroom sink, experiencing a fit of intense dry heaving that seemed to tear his chest apart. However, nothing came out.

Medications often brought certain side effects, including nausea, loss of appetite, and a bitter taste in the mouth when taken in excess.

Watching him, Lionel could not help but feel sympathy.

“Mr. Jenkins, enduring this discomfort every time you take your medication isn’t a sustainable

solution.”

After rinsing his mouth and swallowing some water, Elliot still had a lingering taste of bitterness.

His mouth was bitter, but his heart was even more so. Only thoughts of Sheena’s radiant and

enchanting beauty brought a hint of sweetness.

Sitting back in his office chair, he sighed softly and asked, “Got a cigarette?”

Lionel was taken aback. “Isn’t Ms. Sheena against you smoking?”

Without saying a word, Elliot turned his hand upward, signaling for Lionel to hand him a cigarette.

Lionel reached into his pocket, pulling out a pack of cigarettes he had bought that morning. They were quite expensive, and even he hesitated to smoke them.

“Mr. Jenkins, you’ll need to reimburse me for these!”

Elliot casually glanced up, simply nodding.

Opening the pack, Lionel took a cigarette and extended it to Elliot. However, midway through, he hesitated, looking troubled.

“Mr. Jenkins, are you sure about this? If Ms. Sheena finds out, she might skin you alive! And I might

suffer too!”

Elliot’s expression darkened. “If you keep babbling, you’ll be the one suffering right now.”

Realizing there was no room for further argument, Lionel handed it over. He consoled himself, thinking it was just one cigarette, unlikely to be discovered. Moreover, he understood that Elliot needed something to help alleviate his mental stress.

Little did he expect that Elliot was actually planning to do something totally different and much simpler!
