Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 1168

Lionel seized the opportunity to complain, muttering, "It's not that the salary isn't high. It's just that my employer has a temper. He's always docking my pay whenever he's in a bad mood. A couple of times here and there, and it feels like I'm working for nothing the whole year."

Elliot's handsome face darkened, and his utensils made a crisp, almost unnoticeable sound as they hit the table.

The sound, however faint, felt like a ticking time bomb in Lionel's ears, causing him to panic.

He quickly clasped his hands and said, "Elliot, I was wrong. You're the best leader in the world, understanding, considerate, and caring for your subordinates. You've never shamelessly docked my pay!"

When Elliot heard the last sentence, he immediately smirked.

In a dangerous tone, he uttered, "Lionel, you've clearly been slacking off lately. Come to my office tomorrow, and I'll make sure you experience the gruesome training again."

"Ah, Elliot…" Lionel's face was full of despair.

Lionel had heard about Romello being tortured in Elliot's office until he could not walk. It was something Lionel dreaded.

However, begging Elliot for mercy was not going to work. So, he needed to find Elliot's Achilles' heel.

Lionel immediately shifted his gaze to Sheena and pleaded, "Sheena, help me! Elliot's seeking revenge and wants to torture me. If you protect me, I'll tell you what Elliot has been up to behind your back at the border!"

"Lionel Jenkins!" Elliot's tone turned menacing, and he was genuinely agitated this time.

Sheena glanced at him, realizing the situation was more serious than she thought.

Across the table, Corey, Noah, and Howard all looked at Lionel in unison.

"You rascal, don't just sit there. Explain!"

Lionel chuckled mischievously. "As long as you promise not to dock my pay anymore and give me a two-month bonus, I'll spill the beans."

Elliot turned the tables on Lionel, saying, "If you don't explain, there'll be no bonus, and I'll dock half a year's pay. Looks like you're itching for a taste of the Jenkins family discipline?"

With the threat of discipline looming, Jacintha immediately stepped in to defend Lionel, "You can't punish Lionel! You've been flirting with another woman behind Sheena's back, and it's like infidelity! It has nothing to do with Lionel. You misbehaved!"

Lionel quickly covered her mouth, looking horrified. "Jacintha, please, just stop talking! You're getting way off track. How did it turn into infidelity and flirting with another woman? You're crossing the line and putting my life in danger!"

Sheena set down her utensils, folded her arms, and gave both Lionel and Elliot a stern look, smiling gently, "So, which one of you wants to explain?"
