Endless Adoration

"Sir."

In a simplistic but luxurious room, Elliot sat behind the table. He was later followed by his personal assistant, Sean Shen.

Hearing his nearing footsteps, Elliot slowly turned his chair to look at his assistant.

Sean Shen immediately placed all the documents he had on top of the table. "Miss Leng's parents died in a car accident while she was abroad. All their assets fell into her uncle Sam Leng's hands. The Leng family drove her and her sister, Alina Leng, out of the family house regardless of their past. Miss Leng's boyfriend, Zion An, also broke up with her because of this."

When Elliot heard the word 'boyfriend', his eyes darkened considerably.

"Then why is she working there?" Elliot said coldly, referring to the restaurant that he had found Sherri at. His nails dug into his palm as he thought of all the abuses that she had gone through.

"Janine Su sent out a message that no company is allowed to employ her." Although it was a hot summer day, the room felt like an ice cellar.

It was as if every corner of the room had been frozen in an ice box. Although Sean Shen had worked for his boss for many years, a part of him was still a little bit fazed by his cold stare.

Just as Elliot was about to say something, someone interrupted them, "Sir, the girl is awake."

Hearing this, Elliot stood up at once. When he walked past Sean Shen, he stopped and whispered, "Go to the old house and get the household register."

Sean Shen widened his eyes, but before he could clarify things, Elliot had already walked out of his way. Sean's shoulders sagged in relief as the room returned to its normal and peaceful state.

In another room, Sherri slowly opened her eyes. She could feel that her body was sore all over. Reflexively, she raised her hand to rub her eyes, but before she could, she found herself yelping abruptly. The pain from her hand was enough to make her choke. She gritted her teeth, staring at her bandaged arm.
