Penny hurriedly tried to mop up the milk using tissues.

“I’m sorry, Mr. Fergerson.”

“Mhmm.”

Caleb averted his gaze elsewhere.

Penny cleaned up the spilled milk and noticed several droplets had landed on Caleb’s pants. Hence, she grabbed a couple more pieces of tissue and used them to clean his pants.

Caleb wanted to move the documents elsewhere when he noticed a fair and slender hand reaching toward his leg.

Caleb stiffened and reached out to grab her hand.

She had been reaching toward his thigh, which was not the most awkward of positions to touch, but it still weirded him out.

Penny gave him a confused look.

“Let’s have breakfast.”

Hence, Penny retracted her hand and tossed the wads of tissue into the trash.

“Do the wounds on your back need more ointment, Mr. Fergerson?”

“No, they don’t.”

Penny fell silent after that, and the two got ready to head downstairs when they finished breakfast.

Willow had long since left the hotel. Penny stood at the entrance and wai

    Lucas instinctively averted his gaze. He felt like he had no right to look into the eyes of people like Caleb. They seemed like gods to him. Caleb merely glanced at him and spared him no second looks before the president of Bauer Builders led him inside the building. The project at Union County cost several billion dollars, and Bauer Builders was taking things extremely seriously. Numerous companies had sent their proposals to Fergerson Corporation, but Bauer Builders was contacted and informed last night that they had been chosen to have further discussions. Today, Caleb Fergerson arrived at their office building. The president of Bauer Builders was beginning to think they had gotten this opportunity because they had been in charge of building Amber Fergerson’s residence at Kensington Gardens. The more he thought of it, the more he realized he owed it to Penny. After all, they had only gotten this opportunity because she had chosen to work with Bauer Builders back in the d

    Caleb looked around and grabbed a disposable paper cup to pour himself some water.Lucas looked at Caleb and thought that the cheap paper cup looked out of place in his hand.‘His hands look like they’re meant to hold a glass of red wine instead.’The room was automatically divided into two areas when Caleb entered.Everyone paid full attention to him and ignored everything else that was going on.The two standing in the corner shared the same thought and felt ashamed of themselves.Caleb's movements were unhurried and calm. He had never used this kind of paper cup and smelled something strange when he held it near his mouth.His eyebrows drew together slightly, and he did not drink from it. He nodded politely to the stunned personnel and returned to the conference room holding the paper cup.The male employee next to Lucas touched his shoulder as he was a little surprised."Who is this? He has such a strong aura. Our CEO doesn't look like this."Lucas snorted and responded,

    Caleb's mood darkened, and he intended to shut the door.Willow held out a hand to stop him and spoke anxiously."Mr. Fergerson, I ran into the lobby manager when I was downstairs. Are you injured? I don’t have bad intentions. I'm just worried about you."She found out about the floor Caleb was staying on long ago.There were two presidential suites on that floor, and she booked the room next door for the night.She was overjoyed and felt as though the air in the room was sweet just because he and her were a wall apart.Willow was ticked off by Penny in the morning, but she had plotted her next step.She thought, ‘Caleb doesn’t treat the Sullivans with respect. There’s no way that Penny would get involved with him. I’m different. I don't give a shit about Caleb's attitude toward the Sullivans.’All she cared about was Caleb.Willow coughed twice, and the blush on her cheeks made her look as red as a tomato."Mr. Fergerson, someone needs to help you apply that ointment.

    The message was sent to Zane. His phone rang, but he did not notice it as he was occupied with work.Susan brought him a cup of warm milk and grabbed his phone after she heard the notification.Zane trusted her and had never stopped her from looking through his phone."Dear, someone texted you."Susan clicked on the message, and her expression changed when she saw the screenshot. She then noticed that the text was from Penny.She pursed her lips and replied to Penny.[Willow is your younger sister and has been in poor health since she was a kid. I owe it to her. If she wants something, give it to her. You’re her older sister. You shouldn’t get mad at her about these things.]Zane had told the same thing to Penny, so Susan did not think there was anything suspicious with her response.After the text was sent successfully, Susan deleted the chat history and frowned.She thought, ‘I told Willow not to rush. I didn’t expect Penny to find out about her crush so soon.’Zane and Wil

    Penny’s heart ached when she received Zane’s reply.She sneered and thought, 'No wonder Willow is so impudent. She has Zane backing her.’Two days later, Willow was still waiting by Caleb's hotel room door after refusing to give up. He did not come out all weekend and only saw Sebastian entering and leaving the room.Monday came and Willow was already prepared as she knew that Caleb would have to leave for work.Sure enough, Caleb left his room with Sebastian following behind him just after seven o'clock in the morning. He wore a well-fitted black suit and headed toward the elevator.When the elevator door was about to close, Willow ran over and blocked it with one hand.She got up early in the morning to put on her makeup and had been waiting for him.Willow did not dare to act too aggressively considering what happened the night before, so she acted as though they bumped into each other by chance."Mr. Fergerson, are you going to work?"Caleb's mood darkened the moment he sa

    The car drove away slowly.Sebastian was in the car, so he picked up the changes in Caleb's emotions.The icy and bone-chilling atmosphere had melted away.He heaved a sigh of relief. In the past, there were women who kept trying to make a move on Caleb, but they disappeared from Imperial City soon after.Sebastian thought, ‘The woman from this morning sure is bold. She pushes his limits again and again.’Sebastian was glad that Caleb was in a better mood now or the senior management of Fergerson Corporation would suffer again.Penny stood still and waited for Caleb to leave before she squatted down to look at Nani.She had been raising Nani for many years, and Nani had always been obedient. She never bit. However, she had never been so enthusiastic even with Laura Jennings. Nani only reacted like this with Caleb. She wagged her tail so hard the first time they met.Penny held Nani's face and rubbed it.She thought, ‘Is it because Nani is a female and is charmed by Caleb’s bea

    There was no expression on Penny's face. She walked toward Sherman and grabbed the painting off the table. She said with a calm tone, "Are these gifts from Mr. Cain?"A hint of gratification appeared in Sherman's eyes. His company was bigger than Sullivan Corporation, and the Sullivans have just completed their second round of financing. Before that, he had never thought of working with the Sullivans.Sherman was unaware of the marriage of convenience between the Sullivans and the Fergersons. There were only a few companies that were close to the Fergersons that knew about it.Sherman had never stayed in touch with his old classmates because he did not deem them worthy.However, the police were putting a lot of pressure on him, so he made use of his connections and found out more about Penny's father. His initial plan was to use him to threaten Penny.He was surprised to find out that her father was his classmate and believed that the matter could be resolved much easier as such

    "Dear, I'm sorry for what I said. I was just worried that you’d get too angry and fall sick again."Zane clutched his chest which was aching from anger.He knew he was at fault. He thought that his old classmate, whom he had not seen for a long time, visited because of the success of the Sullivans' second round of financing.Zane thought that it made sense for them to get into business together as Penny was an interior designer. He looked at Susan sullenly and said, "Weren't you just speaking your mind?!"Susan trembled as she realized that Zane was enraged with her.Sherman intended to ruin Penny, but Susan's words seemed to reveal her truest thoughts, which made Zane reflect on whether he had neglected Penny.However, he still believed that everything he did was for her good.Zane was still in a stern mood when Willow came down the stairs.Willow's face was paler than usual as if she had suffered a great grievance.She teared up and wiped her tears away when she noticed th

    Penny was displeased but was too shy to voice it out. Her body felt empty.“Are you happy that he’s back?” “No.” “Then, do you want me?” Penny bit her lip. He had caused sweat to break out across her body. Caleb’s phone rang. Finn was on the other end of the line. He answered the phone, and Finn’s voice rang out. “Imperial City is going to be in chaos tonight. The higher-ups are hunting for the results of Caspian's experiments, and even Uncle Shawn is getting involved in this. "He just called and told me that the higher-ups contacted him and basically forced him to agree to convince Caspian to give them the results. "Cas has also contacted the higher-ups himself and told them that unless Penny is by his side, the mental torture he was subjected to will stop him from recalling where he’s put the chip.” It was a matter of national security, and this was what Caspian was using as his bartering chip the minute he returned. There was no doubt the higher-ups would put a

    Penny had made it out of the room by then. Her face was deathly pale. “Penny!” Caleb ran after her and pulled her into his arms. He pulled her behind a pillar where no one could see them. Caleb knew what was going through her mind, and he held her face in his hands. She did not look at him. Her chest heaved as she struggled to process the truth. Caleb did not know what to say and merely brushed the tip of his nose against hers. When she did not resist, he slowly moved down and kissed her. He knew why Caspian had chosen this sort of appearance. Not only would he manage to devastate Penny, but he could also announce to everyone that he was Penny’s first love. That way, he could also cause Caleb to find himself in a sticky situation. However, Caleb could not care less. As he kissed Penny, he tightened his arms around her waist. Their breaths turned ragged as they continued kissing for another ten minutes. Finally, he rested his forehead on her shoulder. His back was slig

    Despite everyone staring at him, Caleb only had eyes for Penny. Penny did not know the reason behind that, and her brows were knitted together tightly as she watched Caspian make his way down from the second floor. He took the ring from the host and placed it before her solemnly. “I’m here to fulfill my promise, Penpen.” Penny wanted to smack his hand away, but he slowly bent over and smiled as he took her hand. He tried to put the ring on her finger, but his actions were stopped by someone else. He looked in the direction where the hand had come from, and his gaze met Caleb. “Long time no see, Caleb.” Caleb pulled Penny from her seat into his arms. She was left with no choice but to sit on his lap. Caleb could not care less about whatever sort of tricks Caspian would pull. If he allowed Caspian to put that finger on Penny’s finger, he would change his last name! Penny wanted to struggle out of his grasp, but the warmth of his body caused her to stop. He was still

    Some people were speculating if they had gotten back together again, and some were even wondering if Caleb was blind. Why did he pass on Khloe Strauss and choose a designer who did not come from a prestigious family? No matter how well Penny ran her company, these people would still view her as a lowly designer fighting to make a name for herself in the market. She ignored everyone else’s stares and merely took a piece of tissue. She turned slightly to wipe the sweat from Caleb’s forehead. Caleb opened his eyes slightly and looked at her. The two did not say anything. Plenty of people were standing around them, but the light above their heads seemed to have enveloped them in a world of their own. Penny felt her heart rate increase as she clutched the tissue and returned her gaze to the stage. “This is a piece of emerald that Mr. Winston Hill has donated. Bidding starts at three million dollars.” Everyone’s gaze turned toward Winston. Winston smiled at everyone as he int

    Ethan patted her head and then noticed Sean's gaze shifting toward them."Sean?"Sean leaned back and remained silent, merely twirling his phone between his thumb and forefinger. His lowered lashes cast a shadow.He stood up and heard Ethan say again, "Leave your phone."Sean chuckled. "Ethan, you're being too serious right now."He left his phone behind and went upstairs.Khloe continued to sway Ethan's shoulders."Ethan, I had Wind take action against Penny tonight. This time, success is mandatory. Failure is not an option."Ethan's expression turned grave instantly. "Didn't I tell you not to act on your own?""But I nearly lost my life because of her, twice."After saying this, she touched the area over her heart, her complexion turning pale in a moment."Khlo?"This time, Khloe genuinely felt discomfort in her heart, and the next second, she fainted."Khlo!"Ethan was no longer concerned about reprimanding her and immediately took her to the hospital.…Tonight, the

    After returning to Dawn Haven Villa, Penny pulled up her laptop to check public opinion. There were those who vilified Zach, those who vilified her, and even more who vilified S.M.

    Penny stood still for a while, feeling unsettled as she got back into the car.Firstly, it was due to her situation with Caleb. Secondly, it was because of Ethan's words. Was something about to happen?She looked up, intending to speak with Winona. However, she suddenly heard Winona's soft sobs. She was lying on the steering wheel, so engrossed in her emotions that she did not notice Penny getting into the car."Winona?" Penny called out.Awakened from her daze, Winona quickly sat up straight. "Ms. Sullivan.""Did your ex-boyfriend come looking for you again? Haven't you already paid him back? Won't his family let you be?""That’s not it.""Is it because he and that woman are getting married? Did they send you a wedding invitation, which made you feel upset?""No."Then what was it?Penny knew that the family situations of the people close to her were quite simple.

    Ethan's gaze fell on Penny, and his brows furrowed. His good upbringing prevented him from making any sarcastic remarks at this moment.After all, Penny was alone on her side. On the contrary, they had strength in numbers. Khloe was just discharged from the hospital today and was planning to welcome friends who had come all the way from Americana to see her.Seeing Penny alone, she felt a surge of satisfaction.Given her status as Ms. Strauss, she had many friends in Americana and would never be as isolated as Penny.She had specifically called Linda over, knowing Linda's temper was explosive. Just a little sob story from her and Linda could spew out some really nasty words.Linda spoke up again at this moment."Slut, we'll get you killed sooner or later!"She touched her face as she glared fiercely at Penny as if she wanted to devour her alive.Khloe quickly intervened, saying, "Linda, let's go.
