Chapter 607
1/2
Hearing the familiar voice outside, Lionel was the first to panic. “Mr. Jenkins, it’s Ms. Sheena!”
“Block the door! Don’t let Nana in!” Elliot ordered, grabbing wet tissues from the table, and hastily wiping away the marks on his body.
His eyes showed intense frustration as he vigorously rubbed his skin, almost wishing to peel it off.
Sheena’s voice echoed again outside the door, “Eli, open the door.”
Lionel leaned against the door, looking uneasy. “Mr. Jenkins, I can’t hold on much longer!”
“Hold on, damn it!” Elliot became increasingly anxious. “Why can’t I get it clean!!”
What would Sheena think when she sees this?
Would she believe in his innocence with such blatant evidence all over him?
He was no longer innocent! He was tainted.
Would Sheena reject him?
His eyes reddened, and he felt like he was on the brink of a breakdown.
Lionel saw his desperate expression and silently mourned for him.
“Mr. Jenkins! I can’t take it anymore!” Lionel lunged forward, stumbling several steps before. steadying himself as if someone were kicking the door from behind.

When Sheena entered, Elliot had slipped into the restroom, locking the door behind him.
He was so fast that Sheena only saw a fleeting figure.

“Perhaps he went to the restroom, in the opposite direction,” Lionel suggested.

His skin was now red from the intense rubbing, but the lip prints had faded slightly.

Elliot was fuming, and just as he thought about that, he heard the sound of the door handle turning from outside, followed by a knock.
“The door’s locked? Eli, are you inside?”
Elliot remained silent, frozen in place, not daring to make any noise for fear of being heard.
However, Sheena pressed against the thin glass door, and she could hear his rapid breath.
Even the door seemed to tremble with the vibrations.
Was he that anxious?
She silently chuckled, calming her emotions before speaking seriously, “Lionel, did Eli drink a lot tonight? Could he have passed out in the restroom?”
