Billionaire’s Pampered Wife

Sean walked towards the first floor of the ship.

The ship was gigantic. It had four floors including the cabins.

It was full of soldiers. Eli noticed the different cannons situated on the top floor as she raised her head. It seemed that this ship had been refurbished into a military ship.

She quickly followed behind Sean and proceeded to the first floor.

Someone came over and took off Sean’s coat and hung it on a coat rack.

The heaters in the room warmed Eli up as soon as she entered the ship. She couldn’t help but notice Colonel Cher standing beside her.

Unlike the President, no one offered to remove the coat from him.

Hence, Eli dared not do it either.

Sean looked at her and asked, “Don’t you feel warm?”

“Yes, I do,” Eli responded inaudibly.

“Take off your jacket and put it there then,” Sean said as he pointed to the coat rack in the corner.

“Alright,” Eli immediately went to the corner and removed her winter jacket, together with her beanie and scarf. She then hung them all on the coat rack.

The rack looked a little cluttered after her clothes were hung on them.

“Hurry up and come over here,” Sean urged her.

“Okay,” Eli walked over frantically as Sean waited for her patiently at the entrance.

Eli noticed that Colonel Cher had started perspiring due to the heat.

“Aren’t you going to take off your coat?” Eli asked him.

Colonel Cher smiled and said, “I haven’t gotten any permission from Mr. President yet.”

Eli was speechless.

Sean overheard their conversation and said to Colonel Cher, “Colonel Cher, you must be tired from the long drive. You may get some rest now. Miss Wayne will be taking care of me.”

“Certainly,” Colonel Cher replied. He then nodded his head and left.

Eli was worried about attending to her duties without Colonel Cher’s guidance.

Sean walked towards the door and gave an order to the sergeant, “You may serve the food now. Miss Wayne will be eating with me, so prepare an extra serving.”

“Noted,” The sergeant nodded towards Eli.

Eli recognized the sergeant from when they welcomed the Prime Minister previously.

She suddenly thought of something, “Se…”

She paused for a moment and scanned the guards around her. She immediately gestured and said to Sean calmly, “Mr. President, I’m worried that you might have forgotten about something very important.”

Sean pursed his lips and smiled, “Are you talking about your reward?”

“Mr. President, you’re such a wise man,” Eli said in agreement. She really thought that Sean was smart.

“But… I seem to recall that you’ve rejected my offer,” Sean teased her deliberately.

Eli couldn’t seem to recall that such a thing had happened. However, she couldn’t possibly argue with Sean in front of all his guards and servants.

“I realized that my responsibility is to protect you, Mr. President. However, it would be a pity if I didn’t get anything in return.

I understand that it’ll be inappropriate for me to deny anything from you, Mr. President. After all, a good servant should always accept their reward wholeheartedly.

Even though you had chosen to reward me, I believe that it would be best for you to use it as a way to improve the morale of your soldiers.

This would at least show to your fellow men that it would be worth it for them to risk their lives for you.

I know that I shouldn’t have done that, Mr. President. It was certainly my fault. Nonetheless, please reward me with something,” Eli said to Sean seriously.

Sean could no longer control himself. A small smile crept onto his lips.

Eli excelled in debates and performing little tricks. However, he knew that she was just a lazy girl.

“I understand and I most certainly did not forget about it. I already ordered my men accordingly and you shall be rewarded in our next meeting,” Sean said as he walked towards the dining table slowly.

A lady in a black suit stepped forward and ushered Sean to his seat. She then stood at the side.

Eli settled herself on the seat across Sean.

The lady stared at her with a frown. She then signaled Eli to stand.

Eli stood up in confusion.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Sean turned to the lady said, “I had given her permission to sit and eat with me.”

“Yes,” The lady nodded respectfully.

Eli then sat down cautiously and glanced at the lady’s expression.

She remained indifferent and she did not look at Eli anymore.

Eli cleared her throat as soon as the meal was served. She had no idea what she should do next.

Sean looked at her and explained, “You wouldn’t recognize all these people since you had just returned from abroad. Her name is Janet Jordon, the daughter of Parker Jordon. She’s responsible for housekeeping. You may refer to her as Miss Jordon.”

Eli deduced that both Parker and Janet were well respected by Sean. Hence, she looked towards Janet and said, “Hello Miss Jordon, I am Mr. President’s assistant, Miss Wayne.”

“Alright,” Janet responded coldly.

“Your father probably hasn’t gotten the time to inform you about her. She is my personal assistant and she will only take orders from me,” Sean said to Janet. In fact, he wanted to notify Janet that she had no authority to order Eli around.

Janet understood the implication in his words. She nodded and replied to Sean respectfully, “Noted.”

At this moment, the sergeant and the chefs walked towards them, a fresh aroma wafting into the dining hall.

Eli was starving and her stomach growled with hunger.

The chef placed two trays on the table and removed the clutch that covered the food.

Eli was amazed as she saw the steaks, salad, foie gras, appetizers, Russian soup, spaghetti, and desserts all lined up before her very eyes.

However, Eli realized that Sean’s dishes seemed to be better than hers. He even had a lobster on his plate!

She became upset as she felt that it was unfair to her, “Mr. President, have you heard about a famous general chief in the ancient times called Chaplin Bell?”

Sean had already seen through her before she even finished talking. He knew that she wanted the lobster. He chuckled and answered, “Yes.”

“He was a well-respected captain because he would always eat the same food. He would also stay in the same place as his soldiers while they were out for battles,” Eli replied.

“Yes, that’s true,” Sean said calmly.

Eli elaborated further when she noticed that Sean hadn’t picked up her hint, “Unfair treatments will only happen in a feudal society. This unfairness would soon destroy a country.”

“It seems that you are very knowledgeable in politics,” Sean said to her thoughtfully. “Please continue.”

Eli was at a loss for words.

She became upset as she knew that Sean was pretending to not understand what she had just said. “For example…”

She took a piece of lobster meat from Sean’s plate and put it into her mouth. She immediately noticed the freshness of the lobster judging by the juiciness of it. It was extremely delicious.

She swallowed and continued, “Back then, the king would make his servants taste his food before he started eating. My actions earlier were to make sure that the food was not poisoned. They always thought they were so privileged, but in fact, they were just eating the leftover food.”

Eli took another piece of lobster and put it into her mouth once more.

After finishing two pieces of lobster, she continued, “However, they didn’t know that actually lobsters mustn’t be consumed with fruits. It would only make them feel weak and sick.”

“What happened then?” Sean asked seriously.

“Well, the more the merrier, right? Likewise, it would be better to die together than to die alone,” Eli looked at him and said cheerfully.

Sean looked at her dotingly and placed the plate of lobster in front of her, “You may have it all.”
