Chapter 242

Sheena answered the call calmly, and before she could speak, a deep voice on the other end said, Sheena, it’s me.”

Though puzzled, Sheena could not be bothered. “What’s up?”

“I’ve been discharged. To celebrate the success of your first show, I’m going to prepare a feast at home. How about joiningwhen you’re back?” Elijah spoke cautiously, his tone carrying a hint of fear of rejection and a subtle touch of anticipation.

Sheena sensed it and fell silent for two minutes.

Elijah waited anxiously, his heart pounding rapidly. He refrained from speaking, giving her the time

she needed to think.

“I can’t tonight as I have a celebratory dinner. Maybe another day,” Sheena replied, ready to end the

call.

An anxious tone cfrom the other end, “Don’t hang up! Are you… going to dinner with Skye and Howard?”

Sheena admitted, “Yes.”

“Then…” Elijah hesitated before asking, “Will Colin be there?”

“Yes,” Sheena responded calmly and indifferently.

With the simple reply, Elijah was instantly fueled with jealousy. He bit his pale lips and, using a coquettish yet appeasing tone, pleaded, “Can you not go? I know my cooking wasn’t great before, but I promise to improve. Can you cback to Ocean Avenue tonight…

Sheena could not stand his tone and interrupted, “No. It’s non–negotiable.”

Elijah blurted out, “If you don’t cback, I’ll hold a press conference tomorrow and tell the whole nation that I’m your man!”

Sheena scoffed upon hearing Elijah’s words, finding it amusing that he was acting so foolishly. She reminded him, “You’re just my servant!”

“A servant is still yours! You can’t deny that!” Elijah retorted.

“Elijah!” Sheena, genuinely angered, shouted, startling even Phoebe sitting nearby.

Feeling her genuine anger, Elijah quickly apologized, “I’m sorry. I just wanted you to cback to Ocean Avenue for a meal. Even if you think I don’t deserve to eat with you, I can stand and watch you

eat…”

Sheena sighed.

What has gotten into him lately?

His audacity had reached shameless levels. Uninterested in continuing the argument, she casually agreed, “I’ll cback to Ocean Avenue, but it’ll be after the celebratory dinner, and it might be very

late.”

“That’s okay. I can wait no matter how late it is,” Elijah replied eagerly.

Although he could not prevent her from attending the celebratory dinner, at least there would be others present, and Colin probably would not be able to do anything. After ending the call, Elijah happily went to complete his discharge procedures.

As Owen was supposed to take care of Elijah until his recovery, he had no reason to accompany him back to Ocean Avenue now that he was discharged. So, Owen called John and Sawyer to pick Elijah up while he returned hto face the consequences of his suspension.

Back at Ocean Avenue, Elijah immediately rushed to the kitchen to brainstorm recipes. Since fresh produce was delivered daily, he had no worries about the availability of ingredients. After nearly three hours, he prepared a lavish feast, tasting each dish in advance to ensure the perfect balance of flavors.

Not knowing when Sheena would return, he plated each dish to keep them from getting too cold.

With everything ready, Elijah sat on the couch and waited. After two hours, the dishes began to cool, so he reheated them in a pot and continued waiting with the plates covered.
