Were they hallucinating? Elliot was actually peeling and feeding someone oranges?
On the screen, this gentleman seemed way too different from the cold, ruthless leader of the Jenkins Group
Even Lionel was stunned, forgetting he was in the middle of presenting data.
Unaware of the attention he was receiving, Elliot did not sense anything amiss. Every the fed the orange off–screen, a faint trace of indulgence appeared in his typically aloof eyes.
Noticing Lionel’s sudden silence, Elliot frowned, obviously displeased, and returned to his icy demeanor.
“Continue.”
“Uh… Yes, of course!”
Startled by the unexpected interruption, Lionel refocused on the documents in his hands. However, he seemed to forget which line he was reading before getting lost in the drama.

“Right. The profit and loss ratio…” Lionel quickly located the relevant section and continued his presentation.
Just as Elliot was about to feed the seventh orange, Sheena turned her face to the side.
“I’m done.”
Elliot naturally withdrew his hand, preparing to eat the orange himself. However, a stern voice stopped him.
“No, you’re not allowed to eat it!”

He needed to restrain himself!

After a weary meeting, he closed his laptop and pinned Sheena onto the sofa.
“Hey, what are you doing?”
Sheena struggled to free her wrist, but Elliot held it firmly.
Elliot’s dangerous aura gradually closed in on her, warm breath brushing against her face. He gently rubbed her nose, accusing in a cold tone, “Since you won’t leteat oranges, then I’ll just have to eat
you.”
“Wait!”
Sheena, teased by him and feeling ticklish, blushed instantly. She swallowed hard, trying to regain her composure.
“Your injury hasn’t fully healed, so no rigorous activities are allowed. You need to control yourself!”
Elliot felt frustrated. Unfortunately, he could not argue back.
Saying his injury was fully healed might prompt Sheena to pack her bags hby tomorrow. However, saying it was not healed would mean restrictions everywhere, and he would not get to enjoy anything.
After sulking for a while, he thought of a relatively acceptable compromise. “Alright, if you don’t want me to eat you, that’s fine. My injury has improved a lot. How about you sleep in my room tonight?”
