NovelEnglishChapter 1022 No, I won't Elliot persisted, still attempting to get closer, but Sheena’s foot kept him at bay.
“Honey, if you can't get out of bed tomorrow, I'll help you since I'm here in Ardolisia with you.
There won't be any surprises.” Sheena shook her head in disbelief. “Then, if | don't feel like eating in the future, I'll just let you eat for me. Let's see if your belly feels full after you've eaten enough.* Elliot fell silent, lowering his gaze and looking like a disappointed puppy.
Unable to bear his dejected expression, Sheena sighed and softened her tone.
“Can't you be a little more obedient? It's already late. If we don't rest now, | won't have the energy to deal with tomorrow's bidding conference. After the conference, we can go shopping at Ardolisia’s largest mall. How about that?” Elliot nodded, finally complying.
Sheena retracted her foot and lazily snuggled under the covers, closing her eyes to sleep.

Elliot obediently lay beside her, pulling her close and tucking her into his embrace.
Thinking about Sheena’s suggestion to go shopping, he whispered in her ear, “Then... can you buy a cute dress when we go shopping?” Half asleep, Sheena murmured, “Okay.” Satisfied with her response, Elliot kissed her cheek and added, “I mean a maid costume, kitty costume, you know? And... black stockings...” Sheena was too exhausted to respond and had already drifted into dreamland, simply replying, * Mmhmm.
Nonetheless, Elliot was delighted. “Honey, you agreed. No backing out later.” He tucked Sheena in, buried his nose in her hair, and fell asleep.
The bidding conference was scheduled for 1.00 p.m. the next day.
With the curtains drawn, the presidential suite was shrouded in darkness, perfect for sleep.
Sheena and Elliot were both still sound asleep, unaware that the bidding conference was about to begin.
Queena noticed their absence and decided to call them.
The intrusive ringtone of the phone echoed repeatedly.
Sheena, still groggy from sleep, finally answered on the third ring.
“Ms. Lawson, the bidding conference will start in five minutes. Are you and Mr. Jenkins stuck in traffic?” The mention of the bidding conference instantly woke Sheena from her drowsy state.
“Five minutes?” She sprang up from bed, ignoring her sore body, and hurriedly changed clothes.
Sheena’s abrupt movements also startled Elliot awake.

Upon learning that they might be late for the bidding conference due to oversleeping from last night's sessions, he pursed his lips silently, grabbed his phone from the bedside table, and quickly typed a few messages.
A minute later, Sheena’s phone rang again.
It was also Queena.
This time, her tone was less urgent as she said, “Ms. Lawson, Mr. Gray has been informed of your and Mr Jenkins's situation. The bidding conference will be delayed for another half an hour, so you don't have to rush. Take your time.” Sheena paused in the midst of putting on her dress, turning to look at Elliot, who lay calmly on the bed.
“Honey, are you trying to have abuse your connections? Are you trying to have all the guests at the bidding conference wait because of our tardiness?” Elliot shrugged it off. “What's wrong with that?” Sheena felt a bit annoyed. “I don't like taking the back door. | prefer...”
Before she could finish her sentence, Elliot suddenly got up from the beg, pulled her into his arms and in a seductive tone, said, “But, you like taking my back door, and my back door is only open for you.” Sheena’s expression froze.
