Chapter 496

Elliot hung his head low, silently following Sheena into the room. The domineering demeanor he had at the charity gala had vanished, replaced by nervousness as he fixated on her slender back.

Once inside, Sheena sat on the edge of the bed and started using her phone, completely ignoring Elliot.

Elliot sat beside her, still harboring a hint of hope. He timidly touched her wrist, beginning to explain himself.

“I messed up, but I really kept my distance from her. When you saw us, it was because she had twisted her foot. Considering she’s my companion and the spokesperson of Project Rossi, a new project for the Jenkins Group, I couldn’t let her fall flat. That’s why I helped her.”

Sheena remained expressionless, continuing to look at her phone, completely disregarding his

Elliot continued, “Who would’ve thought she would try something inappropriate, taking advantage of the situation and clinging to my arm? I was played by her!”

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt the anger emanating from Sheena.
