Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 1173

Lionel took the teasing in stride and chuckled.

"Elliot, you're right. Your words to me are like laws, each one a classic."

He was fine with being scolded as long as his salary was not docked!

Lionel suppressed his true feelings and smiled extra sweetly.

Elliot gave him a piercing look. "Do you enjoy being scolded? Are you secretly a masochist?"

Lionel quickly responded, "No, I just enjoy being scolded by you."

Elliot felt a shiver down his spine and promptly urged Lionel to get back to work.

"Don't dilly-dally. Get started on the push-ups, then move on to the handstands against the wall. Set your own time, as I won't be watching you."

"Got it," Lionel replied cheerfully. "Elliot, don't worry, I'm as honest as they come. Even if you're not watching, I'll do it properly, and I promise not to slack off for a single second."

Elliot glanced at Lionel. Even though he saw through his facade, he said nothing.

Doing push-ups and handstands might be tiring for Lionel, but it was a minor inconvenience.

From then on, the office was filled only with the sound of Elliot typing on his keyboard and Lionel's occasional heavy breathing.

Doing handstands against the wall for two hundred and forty-nine minutes was no joke. After all, it was over four hours, far more intense than doing push-ups.

It was the toughest part of the punishment.

As sweat dripped onto the solid wood floor in front of Lionel, some even trickled into his eyes, causing discomfort.

Halfway through the morning, Lionel had spent the better part of it doing handstands against the wall.

Unlike Romello's deliberate flattery, Lionel's words were sincere.

He truly meant what he said.

Resent Elliot? He doubted that would ever happen.

If it were not for Elliot, he might have died in the chaos at the border, and he would never have had his current comfortable life.

Lionel's sense of duty and gratitude ran deep.

Even if Elliot ordered him to the most dangerous frontline tomorrow, with a high chance of death, he would not hesitate.

As sweat stung his eyes, Lionel could not see Elliot's expression as he was upside down.

He clenched his teeth and tried to push his body to its limits.
