Chapter 816
Sheena raised an eyebrow, casually smirking.
“As the new CEO, it’s inevitable that I’ll have to shake things up a little. You’ve brought this upon yourself, so don’t blame me!”
Rafael continued to harp on Elliot’s situation, unwilling to back down.
“Sheena Lawson, for the past few days, you’ve been bringing Mr. Jenkins to work with you every day! You know he’s the CEO of the Jenkins Group, and our companies are competitors. I strongly suspect you’re risking our company’s secrets by allowing him in the office!”
That was a serious accusation!
All the executives immediately grew serious, and the meeting room fell into a tense atmosphere.
Sheena brushed it off,
She wanted to say she not only let Elliot stay in the office but allowed him to see all the documents!
Nonetheless, it would surely cause the executives to fly into a rage right then and there. Then, a vote would be called tomorrow, and she would be ousted.
With that in mind, she smirked and played her trump card.
“Mr. Atkins, I’m pregnant with twins.”
As soon as she said this, Rafael froze, unable to grasp her meaning.
Sheena continued, “The doctor advised that I need extra care since I’m having twins for my first pregnancy, Elliot is with me to take care of my health. Do we really need to report such matters to you, Mr. Atkins?”
“Y–You…”
His face turned pale, unable to utter a word.
The other executives quickly caught on, congratulating Sheena.
“Congratulations, Ms. Lawson! This is wonderful news! You and Mr. Jenkins are truly blessed!”
“Indeed! Ms. Lawson, you’re pregnant and still working so hard. It’s only right for him to be by your side!”
“Mr. Jenkins is putting aside the Jenkins Group’s affairs to prioritize caring for Ms. Lawson and the babies. That’s genuine love! Ms. Lawson, you and Mr. Jenkins are indeed a loving couple. How enviable!”
The chorus of praise left Rafael’s face increasingly grim, yet he could not utter a single word.
Who could argue that Elliot was not doing the right thing by coming to the office every day to take
care of his pregnant fiancee?
As for stealing company secrets, it was now turned into an accusation.
Sheena smirked, her gaze turning cold. “Mr. Atkins, you’ve challenged my authority more than once today. It seems the punishment was too light!”
Rafael had nothing to say and could only reluctantly accept the double penalty he brought upon
himself.
Due to this incident, Sheena was in a bad mood when she returned to the office, her expression grim.
The moment Sheena walked in, Elliot sensed the tension emanating from her.
Pausing his rapid annotation, he looked up and asked, “Nana, what’s wrong? Did the meeting not go well?”
“Yes, that old man Rafael came to ask for trouble!”
Elliot chuckled. “So, did you teach him a lesson for annoying you?”
Sheena gestured to her belly, her face filled with pride. “With these two little rascals, I can’t possibly lose! When my belly gets bigger in the coming months, let’s see who dares to argue with me!”
He chuckled and quickly got up to carry Sheena, bringing her back to the sofa and cuddling her to cheer her up.
Sheena’s good mood was quickly restored, but she remembered another important matter.
“How’s the document annotation going? Are you done? How much is left?”
Elliot was about to kiss her, but he instantly froze. His handsome face became slightly stiff.NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
