Hence, he took her right here on this office desk.Caleb’s Adam’s apple bobbed twice, unable to comprehend Penny’s allure.He lowered his eyelashes, tossed his phone aside, and did not reply.Penny did not expect him to respond anyway. She buttoned up the shirt one button at a time.Even buttoning it all the way up could not fully hide the marks on her neck.He had really gone too far last night.Penny checked her phone carefully, finding several missed calls.As for that one call log, it had already been deleted by Caleb.In addition to the missed calls, there were text messages.They were from Kenn, saying he had kidnapped Lucas.She quickly called back.Kenn answered, cursing her at first.“You bitch, I wonder whose bed you were in last night. If you don’t come now, your husband will be beaten to death!”After saying that, he placed the phone in front of Lucas.Lucas had almost lost consciousness and could not say a word. Kenn slapped him across his face.“Speak! Tell
Kenn had taken Lucas, and Purvi’s men were still in the hospital, regardless if they dared to bribe the doctors.As long as her father regained consciousness, they would continue to say those heart-piercing words. Her father probably would not last two more months.Thinking of this, Penny’s eyes reddened slightly.Caleb had initially wanted to make things more difficult for her, like solving Kenn’s issue only if she slept with him for all ten times.However, he looked up and saw the sense of brokenness emanating from her. A wave of irritability surged in his heart again.He took out his phone and called Sebastian.“Submit Kenn’s criminal records to the police station. By 9:00 am tomorrow, I want to see news that Purvi is sealed shut.”After saying that, he hung up.Penny was somewhat surprised. She thought he would just hand over the information and leave the rest for her to negotiate with the police. She did not expect him to resolve everything in one fell swoop.Caleb’s ga
The woman looked her up and down and praised, “You’d look good in any style. We should learn from women abroad. Be more open-minded in this regard and don’t be shy. Why don’t you buy two kinds? Do you need any other accessories?”She took out two sets.Penny did not dare to look at the styles and quickly stuffed them into her bag. She paid by cash and hurriedly walked out with her head down.When she got back to the car, her heart was pounding. She tossed her bag onto the passenger seat and took a deep breath.After driving back to the hotel, she used her room card to enter.It was still an hour until eight in the evening. She had to take a bath first.She soaked in the bath, dispelling her fatigue.Then, she got up, wiped her body dry, and opened the white outfit.When she saw the style, her hands trembled and she almost dropped it.A wave of heat spread from her feet to her head, as if she was about to melt.After spending half an hour mentally preparing herself, she finall
Sir Fergerson was finally satisfied.In the past, when the two played chess, it would take at least half an hour to finish a game.However, tonight, Sir Fergerson was utterly defeated by Caleb in just ten minutes.He raised his eyebrows in surprise.“Were you letting me win this whole time, brat?”He wondered why he was only realizing this now and was visibly annoyed.“Let’s play another round!”Caleb glanced at the clock; it was already 7:51 pm.“Caleb, you’ve looked at the clock five times since we started playing. You’re restless.”Sir Fergerson was an experienced old man, but the thought that this restless young man could finish a game in ten minutes gave him a sense of pride.He was indeed the grandson he was proud of.He was indeed good enough for Penny.“I have some pictures from when I first met Penny. Do you want to see them? She took really good care of me in the hospital back then.”Caleb was not in the mood to look at pictures. Just then, a call from a business
Penny glanced over, and Mason was explaining something to the nurse.“We’re his friends. How is he doing?”“He might have a concussion and needs observation. We’ll know more once the doctor examines him. Please wait here.”Mason sat down, his clothes still stained with blood.Penny took out a check and wrote 30 grand on it.“Mason, this is for Lucas’ medical expenses. I’m not sure if it’s enough, but I have something urgent to take care of and must leave now.”Mason glanced at the check, his eyes showing slight disdain. Rich people sure loved to play this game.However, when he looked up, he assumed the gentle demeanor he had in front of Laura.“Don’t tell Laura about this. I don’t want her to worry.”Penny was anxious about Caleb. She was worried he would suddenly give up on dealing with Purvi.Hence, she did not notice Mason’s odd behavior.“Don’t worry, I won’t say anything. Lucas got involved because of me; I’ll apologize to him later.”Mason nodded and took the check.
Calling her a fairy would not be an exaggeration.She wore an outfit with barely any fabric. Her legs were long, and her waist was slim.Her thick black hair was loosely tied up.In the past, women had tried to seduce him, but he found them all repulsive and low-class.Penny just stood there, yet she was exuding sophistication.His anger instantly subsided, and he looked her up and down.“Come here.”Penny stood still for a few seconds. Sensing that the atmosphere in the room was no longer intimidating, she slowly walked over.She thought about it and sat directly on Caleb’s lap. Her fragrance unabashedly wafted into his nostrils.Due to her nervousness, her eyelashes fluttered a few times. She dared not look at his face.She even sat sideways to avoid embarrassment.Caleb was pleased with her action. His hand grasped her waist, giving it a squeeze.“Have you worn this kind of outfit before?”He asked, his fingertip lightly hooking a ribbon, as if she were a gift that was
Caleb’s heart stirred as he slowly leaned in, intending to kiss her lips.Penny turned her head slightly, and the kiss that was supposed to land on her lips landed on her cheek instead.“Mr. Fergerson, I haven’t brushed my teeth yet.”Penny was an expert at ruining the mood.With just one sentence, she had dispersed all the romantic tension in the air.Caleb looked at her closely.She was worried that he would see through her little trick, so she did not dare to meet his gaze.After a while, she asked, “Do you have clothes?”Caleb opened the nearby wardrobe, casually grabbed one of his own shirts, and tossed it to her.“Put it on.”Penny sighed in relief and quickly put on the shirt.Caleb was quite tall, about 1.88 meters. When Penny wore his shirt, it just barely covered her buttocks.She had come over in a hurry last night. Besides the two outfits she had bought from the store, she did not bring any of her own.On top of that, after taking a bath, those clothes were wet
Caleb sat down at the desk nearby and picked up the documents again.“What’s up?”"Robert Zaki has a painting up for auction recently. I was wondering if you’d be going to Americana. You’ve always admired his work, haven’t you? If you’re going, could you take me with you?”Charlotte’s tone was a bit coquettish. Looking at the food on the dining table, she also sat down slowly.“Good timing. I haven’t eaten yet. Join me.”Caleb’s gaze, however, remained on the documents.“We’ll talk later.”“Caleb, I went all the way abroad to become his disciple back then because you admired his style. Yet he’s already accepted his last disciple, and apparently, it’s some young person.”Charlotte seemed a bit disgruntled. “It’s probably one of his relatives.”Caleb’s brows furrowed. “Charlotte, I have business matters to attend to.”From the moment she stepped in, Charlotte had felt something was off about the space. It was her woman’s intuition kicking in.“Caleb, did the cleaning staff not
