Penny hurriedly stepped forward with a businesslike demeanor.“Mr. Fergerson, you've previously seen the original design, but there has been a minor change on the construction side recently. I thought of modifying this particular area.”She lightly tapped on the spot where the original pillar stood with her fair fingertips. She was not looking at Charlotte but rather, intently examining her own design.Charlotte’s eyes narrowed the moment Penny appeared.Was this the designer that Lulu mentioned?She was indeed very beautiful. It seemed like some confrontation would be necessary.Charlotte could not resist reaching out to grasp Caleb’s hand, but just at that moment, Caleb reached out to take Penny’s blueprint.Charlotte was left grasping at the air, feeling a bit embarrassed. She resentfully glared at Penny.Penny paid her no mind, simply quietly waiting for Caleb to speak.With one hand holding the blueprint and the other resting on the black office desk, the pale hue of Cale
Charlotte was standing at the door, so she did not witness that scene. Even if she had, she would never assume that Caleb did it on purpose.After all, Caleb’s temperament had always been cold. His attitude toward women had always been indifferent. He definitely would not have used such a childish tactic to flirt with anyone.At that moment, when she stepped out and the office door closed behind her, Charlotte looked at Penny’s face.She had to admit, this woman was indeed beautiful. The first time she saw her, she was somewhat taken aback.It was no wonder Lulu had warned her to be careful. If a woman like this tried to seduce Caleb, even if he did not fall for her completely, he might entertain the idea of spending a night with her.Then, Charlotte glanced at Luna, who was not far away. Luna had been staring intently at the door, watching with great interest.Now, seeing Penny coming out with her cousin, Luna’s eyes lit up instantly.“What is it, Charlotte?”“Caleb asked me t
The bags had hit Penny, but she did not catch them, so they fell to the ground. Luna became even more dramatic. “Do you know how much my cousin’s bag costs? It’s a limited edition worth hundreds of thousands. It's not something you can earn by working!”Penny smiled at both of them. “Ms. Shaw, I’m a designer, not a servant. Also, if you don’t want to come with me, Ms. Shaw, you can wait at the company.”“You!”Luna had suffered a lot at Penny’s hands before, but she had not learned her lesson.Charlotte gracefully picked up the bags from the floor and handed Luna hers while chiding her, “Penny is Caleb’s designated designer. You can’t be so rude. It’s one thing to be spoiled at home, but you can’t act like this outside.”After all, she had already asserted her dominance. As long as this designer knew that she, Charlotte, was the future Mrs. Fergerson, there was no need to be too confrontational. It would be beneath her.Luna listened to Charlotte. She quickly took her bag and n
After driving for half an hour, they finally arrived at Kensington Gardens.Penny was the first to get out of the car. Seeing that Charlotte and Luna had also disembarked, she pointed toward the inside.“Ms. Shaw, please.”Charlotte seemed satisfied with her attitude and did not find any fault. Hence, she followed Penny in.The layout of Kensington Gardens was very popular when it was first introduced, and it even had a surrounding garden of about a thousand square meters.This garden was exclusively for this villa, but currently, it was just an overgrown lawn that Penny needed to design.Penny led the two of them to a pillar. Due to ongoing construction, the noise was loud, and there was a lot of dust in the air.Charlotte frowned and waved her hand in front of her face.Luna also covered her mouth, concerned about breathing in the dust.Penny, walking ahead, pointed to the pillar that had been leveled.“Ms. Shaw, this is the place.”The sun was still up when they arrived.
After staring for a moment, Caleb lightly tapped the table in front of him, not engaging in Charlotte’s conversation.Charlotte spoke in a coquettish manner for a bit before hearing him say, “I have a meeting.”“Alright, Caleb. You go get busy.”After hanging up the phone sweetly, Charlotte’s gaze toward Penny softened significantly.She held the same thought as others. Since she was married, there was no way Caleb would have anything to do with a woman of this status.To put it bluntly, having been intimately involved with her own husband so many times, how could someone as fastidious as Caleb tolerate such a thing?Charlotte slightly lifted her chin and began to walk out. “Do as I told you. Also, I love cloisonne. Remember to use cloisonne for the walls and floor decor. This design is very popular abroad.”Penny frowned slightly. Cloisonne was the most expensive stone material, costing hundreds of thousands for just a single piece.The blue hue was indeed attractive, often re
Penny had no idea what her expression was like at that moment. Her design skill was just questioned, making her eyes slightly reddened with anger.As a designer, this was more severe than being insulted to her face.At this moment, there was not a trace of a smile on her face, and her glass-like eyes blinked twice.“I wouldn’t dare. I just heard Ms. Shaw call you and knew you two were going on a date tonight.”Caleb just looked at her. He swallowed lightly after a long pause.“You’ve been staying in hotels like this since you got married. Does your family have any objections?”Caught off guard by his sudden change of topic, Penny was a bit surprised, but she answered honestly.“My family is having an emergency recently, and this place is closer to the hospital.”“Why are you staying on my floor?”He still had not used his card to open the door and was simply staring at her.He looked effortlessly good. Yet upon closer examination, there was a sharpness in his eyes.It was as
Caleb’s hand, which had been stretched out in front of her, was clean and slender. It was pleasant to the eye.However, beneath that beauty, it seemed as though there was a beast lurking. It was cold and somewhat dangerous.Subconsciously, Penny took a step back. However, his other hand reached out and rested on the wall behind her.She was trapped.Penny pressed herself nervously against the wall, but creating distance between them seemed futile.His hands, one in front and one behind, had effectively blocked her way.She swallowed nervously, not daring to look at him.In such a standoff, women often found themselves in a vulnerable position.To outsiders, it appeared as though he had her encircled in his embrace.The atmosphere was intoxicating, but Penny needed to remain clear-headed because this was Caleb Fergerson.There was absolutely no possibility between her and Caleb.Just then, her phone rang, dissipating the ambiguous atmosphere. She breathed a sigh of relief.P
It felt as if wild beasts were lunging at her from behind.In the next second, she was lifted by someone and placed on the cabinet at the entrance.“Mr. Fergerson!”Her voice trembled with fear. She was now sitting at a height level with him because she had been lifted onto the cabinet.Caleb was quite tall, standing at 1.88 meters.Penny, out of fear, leaned back against the wall. However, he grasped her chin firmly.From their first night together, she knew he was very dominant in bed—totally different from the cold and noble image he presented to the outside world.Otherwise, he would not have sent her straight to the hospital.With Penny’s chin grasped, she did not dare to move. Tears formed in her eyes.Caleb looked at her face, his other hand resting on her waist.He leaned in and kissed her. He pried her lips apart, giving her no chance to refuse.Penny was taken aback, her body stiffening all over.When she regained her senses, she began to struggle and try to get b
