Elliot lightened his steps and silently followed behind Lionel and Logan, who were casually chatting and laughing.
When Logan asked about Lionel's training, Lionel responded seriously, "Four hours was indeed too tough, and I didn't have the confidence to endure it. I just gritted my teeth and bore it. Mr. Jenkins is as sharp as ever when it comes to punishment."
Listening to Lionel's recount, Logan clicked his tongue and lightly pinched Lionel's arm, causing Lionel to yelp in pain.
Elliot walked with his hands behind his back, suddenly growing somber as he listened.
Lionel continued, "But despite him being strict, he's also really caring. Seeing how much I was suffering during the handstand, he reduced the punishment to just over two hours and even personally gave me some water to drink."
Lionel became more animated as he spoke, exclaiming, "He actually showed concern for me. I was so touched that I almost cried on the spot. I'll never forget the taste of that water he poured for me. It was so sweet!"
Logan looked at him strangely and asked, "Aren't you being exaggerated?"
"You wouldn't understand. As long as he doesn't dock my pay, he's the most considerate leader and employer in the world! No arguments accepted!"
"Yes, yes, yes. Mr. Jenkins is the best," Logan echoed insincerely.
Thinking about the water Elliot poured for him last night, Lionel felt excited, almost wanting to declare himself as Elliot's biggest fan.
However, Elliot remained silent.
Was Lionel moved to this extent just because of a glass of water?
Was he too harsh on him before?
Just as Elliot was thinking about it, officers from the bureau in the corridor noticed Lionel, Logan, and Elliot from the distance, and they quickly bowed and called them respectfully.
"Mr. Jenkins, Lionel, Logan."
Lionel and Logan froze.
Mr. Jenkins?
Was Elliot with them?
Logan withdrew his arm from Lionel's shoulder, and they both turned back to see Elliot standing behind them, hands behind his back, with a dignified posture.
Logan's lips twitched as he stuttered, "Mr. Jenkins, w-we didn't hear you coming."
Lionel's face turned pale, asking, "Elliot, how long have you been here? Did you hear everything we were just talking about?"
His arms were already sore, so how long could he endure another round of wall sits?
He felt a sense of despair and hopelessness, only able to silently follow Elliot's lead, pondering how he could plead with him later.
Should he beg Elliot for mercy or perhaps burst into tears and cling to his legs in the office?
Logan silently shot him a look, wishing him good luck before slipping away, fearing he might get caught up in the situation.
Meanwhile, in Elliot's office, Lionel entered dejectedly behind Elliot, and his eyes focused on Elliot's legs as he tried to figure out which one to grab onto to avoid being kicked out.
Lost in his thoughts, he was stuck in a daze until Elliot waved his hand in front of his face.
"Yes, Elliot?"
Elliot frowned and asked, "What are you thinking? You didn't even hear what I said."
Frustrated, Lionel patted his forehead.
He found an excuse and said, "I didn't sleep well last night, so I'm a bit distracted."
