Sheena was taken aback. Elijah sounded casual, yet there was an inexplicable trustworthiness
in his tone.
“Okay, then go ahead and try.”
Thinking about Nathaniel’s last words before leaving, her expression gradually becserious. “Let’s return to Ocean Avenue.”
“You should go ahead. I’ll handle things here and join you shortly.”
Sheena sternly said, “No, you’re coming with me.”
Elijah reluctantly conceded. “Fine, but can you givetwo minutes? I need to brief Lionel on the arrangements.”
“Okay.”

Elijah felt a bit pleased. He took off his suit jacket and draped it over Sheena’s shoulders, wrapping her small frtightly. “It’s late and cold outside. Head back to the car. I’ll be quick.
Sheena did not refuse. She nodded and went back. Once she was at a distance, Elijah called Lionel over, and his expression returned to its cold demeanor.
“Extract everything Nathaniel has hidden within two days. The process and methods don’t matter. It’s fine eyen if he ends up crippled. I’ll explain to the National Affairs Bureau. I only care about the results.”
“Understood.”
Elijah looked at the small cabin and added, “Once this is over, reward him with a bottle of sulfuric acid on his back.”
Lionel questioned, “Isn’t that being too nice? He splashed you with the S404 virus.
“Why? Do you want to splash him with S404 too? There are only a dozen bottles of it, and he’s not worth the expense. I’ll contact the National Affairs Bureau to strip him of his position, and I’ll make sure he rots in prison later.”

Elijah shook his head. “No.”
“Then why the hurry?”
“I didn’t want to keep you waiting for too long.”
Sheena fell silent, still trying to figure out if he was just sweet–talking her with pleasing words. As soon as he entered, she felt the chill emanating from him, and his lips were slightly pale from the cold, yet he insisted he was not.
Seena removed the suit jacket from her shoulders and tossed it to him impatiently. “Take it. I’m feeling too warm.”
With winter just around the corner, the temperature was indeed significantly lower at this late hour. Sheena instructed Ian to turn on the car’s heater.
They sped back to Ocean Avenue.
Sheena changed into slippers and headed upstairs without looking back, saying, “Cup with me.”
Elijah did not hesitate and quickly followed her to the third floor. Back in the room, Sheena first turned on the heater, then sat on the edge of the bed, calmly instructing, “Undress yourself.”
