"Exactly," Asher replied, lifting his chin proudly.
Nathaniel smiled and praised, "That's a great idea. Immortal jellyfish are beautiful. That's very creative of you."
Despite the compliment, Asher snorted dismissively.
"Don't get too excited. I'm not that easy to please."
Nathaniel knew how cunning Asher could be.
After all, he was an exact copy of Elliot.
Hence, he took the plan more seriously.
"You want to build an artificial glacier and ice lake in the left section of the aquarium to house penguins, crocodiles, and polar bears?"
Nathaniel's lips twitched as he looked up at him.
Asher nodded confidently.
Nathaniel had to gently explain, "Asher, polar bears aren't marine animals. They don't really belong in an aquarium. Also, crocodiles can only survive in temperatures around twenty degrees Celsius. The glacier would be too cold for them. They wouldn't survive such extreme temperatures. Meanwhile, penguins are the least aggressive of these animals, they wouldn't last more than a few days if they were in the same exhibit as polar bears."
Asher frowned, purposely making it hard for Nathaniel.
"Whether they survive or not is your problem. You said the aquarium was my gift to do with as I please. Now you're giving so many excuses? Are you going to go back on your word?"
Nathaniel could not argue and reluctantly agreed, "Okay, I'll do my best to make this work."
Asher was finally satisfied, saying, "Good, there's more."
Nathaniel took a deep breath and continued reading carefully.

The readers' comments on the novel: Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson)
The novel is too abusive it spoils the joy of reading it. I hate the punishment part between sheena and Eliot....
