Penny’s heart rate accelerated, her heart pounding like a drum.She felt like a drowning fish.Penny had never imagined that one day, she would be kissed by Caleb inside his closet.After a long while, he let her go and just looked at her.Penny shivered, feeling as if every cell in her body had been imbued with his commanding aura.She was pulled out.She had not forgotten that she was still caught off guard, feeling constrained in her actions.“Aren’t you hungry? Have something to eat.”Penny breathed a sigh of relief. She thought that if he continued, she would really die on the bed.She had never been with another man, so she did not know if other men were as energetic as Caleb.In any case, she really could not handle it anymore.She only hoped that Charlotte would find her own happiness in the future.Sitting in front of the dining cart, she was constantly worried about Charlotte returning.Just as she finished eating, there was another knock on the door.It was Seb
At the time, she thought Grandpa Fergerson was talking about Caleb’s cousin, but it turned out he was talking about his biological elder brother.Both sons born to Aurelia were extremely talented, each a candidate for inheritance.When Caleb’s older brother was around, he was the one who took on all the responsibilities.After his brother was gone, Caleb naturally had to become the heir.Sir Fergerson had asked Caleb to get married three years ago, precisely to tie him down with family obligations.Unexpectedly, Caleb went abroad and never came back, making a name for himself on Wall Street and in Silicon Valley.To outsiders, Caleb was a cold man.However, who knew the real him?Penny’s mind was reeling, and she suddenly regretted making such a deal with him.On the night he returned to the country, she knew very well beforehand his dominance in bed. It even made her take a trip to the hospital. Now, she was provoking him again.Seeing her silent, Caleb resumed his aloof dem
Penny was embarrassed as well. The countless pink marks showed just how passionate the man had been when he kissed her. Her face flushed red while she stuttered. Laura looked like she had caught an adulterer in the act. “Was it the guy from last time? Did you meet him again?” Penny had no choice but to nod her head. Laura immediately grabbed her and made her sit down. “Who on earth is it? I didn’t believe you when you said he was really strong because of how long Mason can last, but given how you look right now… Has he never seen a woman before in his life? You’re amazing, Penny. I can’t believe you’ve met such a powerful man!” Laura continued with jealousy, “Who on earth is it? Just tell me who it is.” Penny did not say anything. Laura knew that there was no use trying to get Penny to talk about something she had decided to keep a secret no matter how hard she tried. A doleful look appeared in her eyes as she moaned and sighed. “I guess that’s how things work. Yo
Laura nearly lost her mind when she saw the way Penny was acting. “I was jealous of you just now because you found yourself a hunk, but now, I think the guy is the lucky one. He got to sleep with a woman as gorgeous as you are. Not only was he your first, but you’re even taking birth control for him! I don’t know what to tell you other than to stay vigilant!” The more Laura thought about it, the angrier she got. She could tell from the marks on Penny’s body just how much the man cherished her. A woman who was level-minded when it came to work matters but shy and timid when it came to sex. Was that not the woman of every man’s dreams? Laura took a deep breath. “What do you think of having this really good-looking celebrity I know be your pillow friend? He went viral last week because of how hot his body is. He's currently an ambassador for my family’s jewelry brand. He’s got several million followers across his social media accounts. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to sleep with a m
Penny let out the breath she had been holding, a relieved look appearing in her eyes. Despite everything, the issue had been resolved. Zane called her then, and he called out her name excitedly, “Penny…” He could not get the other words out of his mouth. He was so shocked that spots had appeared in his vision. “It’s alright, Dad. Focus on recuperating.” Zane opened his mouth, but he did not know what to say. Another moment passed before he asked, “Was it Caleb Fergerson?” “Yes.” Zane remained silent. He thought Caleb had no feelings for Penny and had not expected him to save the Sullivan family from bankruptcy despite also having gotten in the way of their business operations previously. “Alright, alright. I’ll have to visit the Sullivan family and thank Sir Fergerson myself.” Penny’s eyebrows were knitted together. “Don’t do that, Dad. Caleb stopped doing business with the Sullivan family precisely because of how frequently you contacted Grandpa Fergerson. Look w
Now that Penny thought about it, it all seemed hilarious to her. Her master had not even asked for her full name, and she had no idea she had obtained a mentor. Robert was an excellent artist but hated socializing and being caught on camera. Hence, only a handful of people knew what he looked like. It was only once that by chance, Penny noticed his style was very similar to an artist she admired greatly. She realized after asking that he and the artist were the very same person. Meanwhile, she had no idea that Robert Zaki had taken on the role of being her mentor. Robert rarely attended any conferences, and jealous critics always deemed him pretentious. “I’ve sent you pictures of the artwork, Little Penny. Take a look and let me know what you think. Don’t be shy. The auction personnel have been bugging me about this for a while, but I haven’t given them any concrete answers yet. I’ll give it to you if you like it.” His fondness for her was practically oozing from his words.
“I can be your plus one!” She cried out excitedly. Caleb averted his gaze as he put his cup down. “I’m not attending the auction, Charlotte.” In other words, he meant he did not need her to be his plus one.Charlotte paled. Since he was already putting things that way, it would not be a good idea for her to insist. She tried giving herself an out. “Oh, got it. Are you flying there to deal with problems that have made themselves apparent in one of your overseas projects?” Caleb nodded and turned to his computer. He sent Penny a text. [Accompany me on an overseas trip tomorrow.]Penny was visiting Lucas at the hospital when she received that text. Lucas insisted he wanted to be discharged, so she was going through the discharge procedures and dropping him off at home. “Are you sure you don’t want to spend more time resting in the hospital?”She was why all this had happened to Lucas in the first place. “It’s alright, Penny. These are all just surface-level injuries.
Relationships were the one thing Penny was not well-versed in. She did not sense anything amiss in Caleb’s tone and answered him obediently. “It’s what I should be doing.” Caleb did not answer. He unbuttoned his shirt to prevent himself from losing his breath. Then, he hung up the phone. Penny was surprised by the dial tone. Had she said something wrong? Caleb’s temper was so erratic. In the evening, Caleb returned to his hotel room. The floors had been cleaned, but he had left instructions that no one was to change his bedsheets. In the past, he usually requested cleaned sheets as well. He tossed his suit jacket aside. When he walked into the bedroom and saw the messy sheets, memories of the previous night immediately appeared in his mind. Her black hair had fanned across the pillows, forming a stark contrast against her fair skin. Despite doing it twice, he still was not satisfied and ended up pressing her up against the windows. The windows offered a view of th
