Chapter 602 He Was Afraid Of Losing Her, Please Don’t Leave
Eli stared at him in confusion.
“I agree with what you had just said and I want to become a leader who is well-respected by everyone. So, this shall be your reward,” After that, he looked at the sergeant, “Please prepare the same food for Miss Wayne and me in the future.”
“Understood,” the sergeant answered respectfully.
At that moment, Eli thought that Sean was so manly, even though he was unlike any of the men whom she had a crush on.
Eli was so full after the meal that she wanted to just lay on the bed and rest. However, she couldn’t do so as she had to pretend to be Sean’s assistant.
She had to follow him wherever he went.
Eli followed Sean as he walked towards a door that led to a study room.
The shelves were filled with all sorts of books.
He reached for an appraisal book with past recordings and began to read it on his desk.
Meanwhile, Janet placed a cup of coffee beside Sean’s table politely.
“You may leave now. Miss Wayne will be taking care of me,” Sean told her. He did not even bother to raise his head to speak to her.
Janet frowned and glared at Eli.
Eli immediately lowered her head. She could sense Janet’s unfriendly attitude towards her.
Janet then walked towards her and asked, “Do you know how to make the coffee according to Mr. President’s preferences?”
Eli nodded at first, but shook her head after a second thought.
She nodded as she knew how to make a coffee.
However, she shook her head as she realized that Janet was reluctant to leave. To her, it seemed that Eli was trying to take her job away. Janet looked visibly displeased.
Hence, she figured that she should let Janet be in charge of the coffee-making.
“You nodded at first, yet you shook your head after. What are you trying to say?” Janet raised her voice.
Sean stared at Janet and said sharply, “I don’t feel like drinking coffee today. Miss Wayne, please make me a cup of tea later.”
As dumb as one may be, Janet’s face turned pale as she realized that Sean was biased toward Eli.
She stormed out of the study room begrudgingly.Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.
Eli locked the door and turned to look at Sean, “I don’t think that it was wise for you to do that.”
“I never thought that you would say this,” Sean then continued reading his book.
“No,” Eli said. She marched towards Sean and removed his book to get his attention. Then, she said to him, “There was a girl who was favored by the teacher, and the teacher would grant her everything that she wanted. For example, she was exempted from the self-study sessions and the morning workout sessions. She was also the only student whom the teacher ever visited when she was sick. However, all of her friends hated her. Do you know why?”
“You were that girl, right?” Sean asked as he glimpsed at Eli.
Eli paused for a moment and said, “How did you know?”
“Do you think that there’s anything about you which I am unaware of?” Sean stared at her confidently.
Eli suddenly felt guilty as she did try to hide many things from him.
“That’s not the point. I am just making an example. You made things difficult for the sergeant because of me, and he would surely come to hate me. Also, if Miss Jordon were to lose her job because of me, she would come to hate me as well. I am sure that you wouldn’t want me to be hated by everyone around you, am I right?” Eli explained frantically.
“So what if they hate you? As long as I don’t hate you, they wouldn’t even dare to lay a finger on you. They will eventually listen to you because you will get married to me sooner or later. If you really don’t like them, you could just fire them, ” Sean said to her domineeringly.
“I don’t think that that would be a good idea. Don’t you know that being high-profile would only attract more danger?” Eli answered worriedly.
Sean chuckled and pinched her face gently. He spoke to her with his deep and monotonous voice, “It seems that you tend to attract people who carry a certain power with them. Our homeroom teacher, Haward James, me, and who else?”
“Nonsense,” Eli removed Sean’s hands as her face ached from the pain. “Our homeroom teacher only took care of me because she was a good friend to my father, and she owed him a favor. Haward and I were just neighbors. Please do not overthink,” Eli tried to explain to Sean.
However, guilt crept into her heart.
There was once a point in time where she was interested in Haward. However, she had to leave the country before their relationship could even go a step further.
Judging from her impulsive character, she might have already been with Haward if he had confessed to her earlier.
“Just neighbors? I see. Would that neighbor come all the way and search for you from a distant land?” Sean was unconvinced. Instead, he gave out an evil smile.
“You’re so annoying,” Eli turned away and ignored him. She walked towards the shelves and started to look at some books. She realized that there were so many books, more than she could even count.
It seemed that reading was a common characteristic among successful men.
She recalled that Jasper too had countless books in his office. Unfortunately, he didn’t live long.
She would rather stay dumb for the rest of her life if those who possessed high intelligence would be the first to pass.
At this moment, her phone rang. However, Sean snatched it away from her before she could even answer the call.
Sean looked at the screen and said to her coldly, “Speaking of the devil.”
“Who is it?” Eli sneaked a look at her phone.
Sean refused to let her peep. Instead, he walked towards his table and answered the call coldly, “Is there anything I could help you with?”
Haward was stunned when he heard Sean’s voice, “Is Eli there?” he asked.
Sean turned back and glanced at Eli. He noticed that she was looking at him with sparkling eyes, “She has just finished showering and she is lying on the bed now. I think that she’s too tired to speak on the phone. Is there anything that you need to tell her? I could pass the message to her.”
Eli was beyond speechless.
Her opportunity to talk to her dream guy seemed to slowly dissipate as she noticed the displeased look on Sean’s face. Eli thought that Sean was being annoying again. What did he mean when he said that she was lying on the bed or that she had just finished showering? What was he trying to say? He was obviously trying to hint something to Haward.
Eli was frustrated and embarrassed as she wasn’t sure how others would think about her.
She then shouted at Sean, “Sean, the crayfish tasted great! By the way, who are you talking to?”
Sean’s face darkened as he glared at her. If looks could kill, Eli would have been dead by now.
Haward chuckled, “Is she still awake? It seems that she’s not in the shower either. Since she was shouting so loud, I bet that she isn’t that tired too.”
“Is that so? Perhaps I should lock her up to prevent any misunderstanding then,” Sean said to him coldly.
“You’re already married to Yvonne Harington, are you not?” Haward asked him calmly.
Sean pursed his lips, his eyes still fixed on Eli.
He was being impulsive and he had accidentally exposed his weakness. He would always drop his guard whenever it came to Eli. Sean then responded,” I know what your intentions are. Come to me if you need anything. Just stay away from her.”
“You must’ve misunderstood me. I have no interest in your relationship with Larry. I really do like Eli, but I honestly had no idea of your relationship with her when I first got interested in her,” Haward answered sincerely.
Sean sneered, his eyes turning red. “Since you are aware of our relationship, it would be best for you to give up now. I am sure that you know our son’s existence too,” Sean said to Haward.
