Chapter 17
‘Was it Howard?‘ Elijah wondered.
Elijah frowned and instructed Leon coldly, “Keep looking. Send someone to check on Howard too. As soon as you find anything, notify me immediately.”
“Yes, Mr. Lawson.” Leon nodded, though his expression seemed reluctant.
Seeing that Leon was still there, Elijah was puzzled. “Why are you still here? Is there anything else to report?”
Leon was in a dilemma. He knew it might anger Elijah, but he could not hold back.
“You’re getting harder to understand these days. You’ve already divorced, yet you’re still concerned about Ms. Sheena while neglecting Ms. Moore, who truly deserves your attention. What’s on your mind?”
Elijah grabbed the glass ashtray from the table and threw it at Leon’s feet.
“Get out!”
Leon wisely stepped back.
Elijah lit two more cigarettes.
Feeling a little hungry, he got up and opened the fridge, which was filled with all the foods he loved.
He stood there in a daze.
Suddenly, he vaguely recalled that over the past three years, the first thing he saw when he came home would be Sheena’s eager eyes.
She would welcome him with a smile, offer him slippers, and say, “You’re back. You must be tired. Are you hungry? I’ve prepared dinner.”
Yet, he never really looked at her. In the face of the warm meal on the table, he would always make a sarcastic remark and retreat to his room.
It was a thankless task, yet that foolish woman would still do it every day.
Suddenly, Sheena’s last words before leaving the banquet echoed in his ears.
“In our three years of marriage, I have done nothing wrong.”
If that was true, then what was her relationship with Howard?
Realizing that he had been thinking about Sheena, Elijah felt oddly irritated. He closed the fridge out of annoyance and went upstairs. He then showered and went to bed.
The next morning, the lobby of Angle Group was packed as employees stood in rows, looking at each other, waiting for Howard’s arrival.
Half an hour later, Howard appeared at the entrance with Sheena.
Sheena deliberately chose a white tailored skirt suit for that day, with her ponytail tied up high, exuding a poised, intelligent, and capable aura.
As she appeared, there was a stir among the crowd of employees.
The sight of the two was pleasing to their eyes.
Howard walked to the center and announced, “This is our new talent manager, Ms. Sheena, who will be working with all of you from now on.”
The crowd applauded.
Sheena smiled and nodded, courteously accepting the applause.
Then, Howard briefed them on the recent targets and let everyone return to their positions, leaving the talent management team behind.
“Sue, Sheena is new here and unfamiliar with the operation. Please assist her,” Howard named Sue Klein specifically, who was the lead agent in the talent management team. She had wavy blonde hair, bold makeup, and a stunning figure.
Sue nodded and smiled warmly. “Don’t worry, Mr. Lawson. I will do my best to assist her.”
After Howard left, her smile disappeared, and she gestured for Sheena to follow her.
As Sheena looked over, she coincidentally caught a glimpse of the subtle look of disgust in Sue’s eyes.
It would seem that Sue did not like her!
“Ms. Klein, please address me Ms. Sheena from now on.”
Sue hesitated for a moment before immediately adopting a respectful attitude.

The novel is too abusive it spoils the joy of reading it. I hate the punishment part between sheena and Eliot....
