Almost any woman who saw this colorful bracelet would be stopped in her tracks.“Sebastian," he called out.Sebastian promptly handed over the checkbook.Caleb asked, “How much?”“It’s 27 million dollars.”Caleb did not even blink as he wrote the check.The salesperson quickly and joyfully wrapped the bracelet in a very delicate box.This was the first time Caleb had personally purchased something. He usually left it to Sebastian to prepare.Now, Sebastian could not help but ask, “Sir, is this for Ms. Penny?”This casually gifted item was equivalent to a villa in Imperial City.Caleb’s body stiffened, and he turned his head away in an attempt to cover his reaction.“No.”Sebastian silently looked at him but did not expose the lie.Holding the gift in his hand, Sebastian was still handling the post-check matters on the side. Caleb then went to the second floor with a group of executives.The executives sighed in relief and continued their previous discussion.Caleb’s mood
Penny looked at the message and then glanced at the pile of paperwork on her desk that needed attention.She sent back a message.[I may only drop by a bit later.][Okay.]Seeing his reply, Penny set her phone aside and focused on her paperwork.By the time she finished, she looked up to find the sky outside had turned dark.Realizing it was getting late, she quickly grabbed her phone and took a look.Four hours had passed since her chat with Caleb.She frowned slightly, wondering if Caleb was waiting for her all this time.[Mr. Fergerson, where are you?][Fergerson Corporation.]Inside Fergerson Corporation’s office, the atmosphere was tense. Executives who came to report in the evening sensed Caleb’s bad mood.As they left, they warned their colleagues who were about to head in nervously, “The boss is in a bad mood. Be careful.”As a result, those who had planned to report something that night chickened out and did not dare come to the office.Four whole hours. Was this
Caleb had just entered Sky Lounge. As the bright titanium lights overhead illuminated him, he realized he had just been racing with someone like Jeremy.He frowned slightly, and right at that moment, Jeremy walked in. He made a phone call to Penny.“Penny, I’ve sent you the address. Come over quickly.”Jeremy had greatly helped Penny with matters at Sullivan Corporation. In gratitude, she agreed to paint two paintings for him, and he got to choose the location where she would paint.Penny was genuinely grateful to Jeremy from the bottom of her heart. If Jeremy had not been involved in that incident, the company would have belonged to Charlotte.So when Jeremy called, she immediately grabbed her painting supplies and set off.On his end, Jeremy hung up and noticed that Caleb was still standing in place. He raised his eyebrows.“Are you attending the same gathering as me tonight, Mr. Fergerson?”In circles like theirs, running into each other was quite common.However, Caleb was
Finally, Caleb understood what the fire that had been lingering in his heart since he first saw Jeremy was.It was jealousy.At the moment, hearing the crowd vividly discussing the pleasures of being with women in bed, he felt the air in the room becoming suffocating.Winston sensed his off mood tonight and patted him on the shoulder.“Shall we go?”Winston was used to the indiscretions of the crowd. They belonged in the same social circle. When they were being model citizens, they talked about stocks and business. But when the veneer was stripped away, the topics became less savory.This was not to demean anyone. It had nothing to do with family background or education either. It was just human nature.However, when Winston suggested they left, Caleb remained unmoved.Confused, Winston was about to ask what was going on when the door to the private room opened. Penny walked in, carrying her sketchpad.Jeremy rose immediately. “Penny.”He rushed to her side.“You’re here. Is
As he spoke in such a serious tone, even Winston had a moment of doubt. He wondered if perhaps he had been overthinking. Perhaps Caleb did not care about that woman at all.“Alright. If you’re just messing around, then stop drowning your sorrows in alcohol.”“I’m not.”Caleb retorted, then glanced at Penny again.She was too far away for him to see clearly, but he could tell she was focused. It was as if the noise around her did not matter.His chest tightened again.“She’s nothing special, anyway.”Winston found it amusing. He rolled his eyes and smirked.Once he had composed himself, he turned back to Caleb.“That's true. There are plenty more beautiful and talented women in Imperial City.”“Mm.”Caleb felt even more suffocated.He set down his glass and leaned back, refusing to look at her any longer.Penny was not disturbed by anyone and continued to draw until she was finished. Only then did she pack up her sketchboard.Jeremy leaned over, bringing his head quite clo
However, Caleb ignored her and bit her neck, asserting his complete dominance over her. The scent of his pheromones was intense. Tears flowed from Penny’s eyes as her entire body shook. Caleb propped her up and enjoyed himself. The sounds of two attendants having a conversation could be heard as they walked past the doors. Then, the door opened a crack. Penny immediately buried her head into Caleb’s neck in fright. Meanwhile, things felt so good for Caleb that even his scalp was tingling.“Fuck off.” He spoke to the attendants who wanted to enter the room.The room was reserved for use later, and the two attendants had wanted to make sure everything was in shape beforehand. However, they hurriedly backed away when they heard Caleb’s assertive voice. “Sorry, sorry.” After the attendants left, Penny’s quiet sobs were the only sounds that could be heard in the room. Caleb gently patted her on the back as he propped her up even higher.He had always liked this positi
He grabbed the showerhead and used that to wet her hair. Then, he placed her head against his chest and began washing her hair for her. Penny was so tired she could not even open her eyes. He had been acting like he wanted to rip her into tiny pieces when she passed out. Since she was asleep now, she could not witness his gentle manner. Caleb had never done anything like this before, and he was not too sure what to do. He pumped out several handfuls of shampoo before gently massaging her scalp. The shampoo lathered up quickly, and he paid attention to how much force he was using so he would not hurt her. He spent about half an hour massaging her scalp and made sure her hair was clean before using the showerhead to wash the bubbles away. Penny remained fast asleep against his chest all the while. When Caleb finished washing her hair, he picked her up and set her on a nearby stool. However, she was in such a deep sleep that she slid down the stool. He had no other choice
Caleb grabbed her and pulled her into his arms. “Is being with Jeremy that wonderful? Isn’t he usually very generous to his ladies? Why didn’t you get him to buy you a mansion? You’ve even lost weight after starting to date him.” His hand roamed about her waist and pinched it. Penny was so angry that even the tips of her fingers were trembling. She ignored him and drew in a deep breath as she picked up her jacket and left the room. However, Caleb would not let her off so easily. He grabbed her from the back. “I can give you money if that's what you like.” That statement was the last straw. An ugly look appeared on Penny’s face, and she shoved him aside.Caleb took a step backward. He was starting to lose his temper too. The only reason he was willing to try cajoling her this morning was because they had enjoyable sex last night. Did she really think she was some hotshot deal now?A cold look appeared on his face. “You should know your place.” Penny was so angry
