Caleb thought to himself, ‘Who's next? She’s such a flirt!’Penny felt like she was trapped in his accusations. Her chin was sore from the grip of his hand.Caleb looked at her, his gaze filled with complex emotions. He released her and said, "Come inside with me."He decided that leaving her outside was too unsafe.Reluctantly, Penny followed him inside.Sitting inside was the woman she met earlier and some high-ranking executives. The two parties carried on with their discussion.As the conversation neared its conclusion, the woman asked her team to leave.Only she, Caleb, and Penny, who had taken a seat on a sofa nearby, remained.Penny had chosen not to sit at the same table as them. She opted for a more distant location.The woman exchanged a few quiet words with Caleb. Penny could not quite make out what she said. Then, Penny heard Caleb raise his tone as he intentionally emphasized, "She's just my secretary."After he said that, the woman stood up without hesitat
Meanwhile, in the car, Caleb looked at the thick pile of documents scattered on the floor and began to pick up each of them. Then, he took out his phone and started searching on Google.[How do women act when they’re jealous?][Should my secretary be reprimanded if she throws documents on my face?][What do I do if my secretary flirts with multiple men?]He searched for answers to these three questions, but he only managed to get a response for the first one.However, it seemed like a response from a random keyboard warrior. Caleb, who did not understand women, believed it to be true.[There are only two reactions when women are jealous. They either cry or make a fuss. All you have to do is buy her a gift.]Caleb looked away from his phone and immediately associated the word 'fussy' with Penny.He thought to himself, ‘It seems that she’s indeed jealous.’He was happy to have wasted two hours acting with the woman as the effect was satisfactory.Caleb did not sleep with the
Daphne looked extremely nervous, especially when she saw Penny attentively reading the script. She felt guilty.After a few minutes, Penny put the script down."Daphne, I heard you're placed first in your major?"Daphne nodded, her eyes welling up with tears. She fidgeted with her hands in front of Penny, her lips trembling uncontrollably.Penny sighed."I don't think that this is the work from the first-place student. I've checked your grades. You're a junior, and you've been placed first since you started school. Every teacher praises your great ideas, but this script doesn't show anything remarkable."Daphne lowered her head, her voice hoarse."Miss Penny, this is the best I could come up with... I..."Before she could finish her sentence, she heard Logan's voice behind her."Daphne, Miss Penny, what a coincidence."Penny looked up and saw Logan walking toward them.He had several students with him. Some of them did not know who Penny was, so they remained silent.Penny
Daphne had vomited twice, completely turning Logan off.“If that script is revised again and Penny is still not satisfied, then let it be. Keep your distance from her in the future.”“I understand, Mr. Herron. I beg you…”Logan began to buckle his belt. He exuded the smell of an old man.Daphne trembled all over. After he left, she knelt on the ground and vomited again.As she was preparing to leave, she saw Penny, who had returned.Plus, she was right at the office door.Daphne, startled by this, took a step back.Penny noticed that her face had turned even paler than before.It had only been ten minutes since she left.“Ms. Penny…”Daphne’s voice trembled. Penny took out a tissue and handed it to her.She did not dare to take it.Penny simply pointed inside. “I forgot my phone.”She stepped aside, letting Penny in.The room had been cleaned up, and Daphne had freshened up. Nothing seemed amiss.Penny picked up the phone that had been placed on the couch. The screen di
Penny had wanted to ask if Logan had been threatening her, but Daphne's eyes were darting around nervously. She was clearly afraid of their interaction being noticed by others."Alright, Daphne. Here's my company's address. I'll be waiting for your message."Daphne only glanced at the address before handing back the card Penny had given her."I'll remember it."Her caution spoke volumes about the pressure she was under.When Penny got back to her company, she busied herself with paperwork while waiting.Around five in the evening, she received a local express delivery, which oddly enough, contained over 70 dollars.Inside were three scripts, all handwritten.As she skimmed through the first one, a spark of amazement lit up her eyes.It was an exceptional detective drama, with a plot that kept twisting and turning until the very end, when the identity of the murderer was finally revealed.The detailed descriptions of the murders were so chilling they made her scalp tingle.It
Mr. Jewell dismissed Daphne with a wave of his hand, his voice heavy with emotion."Somebody called Daphne, bringing up the matter of three scripts. Mr. Herron, you know I trust you more than anyone. If Daphne can ever sell a script, you'll be our family's savior. I feel like she's becoming more and more rebellious, possibly even dating behind our backs. "This child, I just don't know how to handle her anymore. Her mother and I are struggling, and we're not exactly educated."No sooner had he finished speaking than Daphne sprang up from the floor, knocking the phone from Mr. Jewell's hand!"Ahhhhhh!!"She screamed, like a woman possessed.Mr. and Mrs. Jewell were both taken aback, unable to believe that the hysterical figure before them was their daughter.Frozen in place, they watched as Daphne snatched her phone and bolted for the door!Once Mr. Jewell had regained his composure, he pointed a trembling finger at her retreating figure."Has she lost her mind? Didn't she see
Sebastian was taken aback. This did not seem like something Penny would do. She was not usually this straightforward."Alright."Caleb got into the car alone, a faint smile playing at the corners of his mouth.Meanwhile, Penny, freshly dressed and ready to leave, received a call from Zach. He asked her in a roundabout way if she was prepared.Assuming he was swamped and had not had time to check his messages, she reiterated the location of the movie theater.It was situated on the fourth floor of a nearby shopping mall.Zach's eyes sparkled at the information, and he immediately set off in his car.However, the first to arrive was Caleb.Caleb had never been to a movie theater before and was unfamiliar with the routine. He found a spot to stand and wait for Penny.His towering height and formal, well-tailored suit made him a rare sight at the theater entrance. His model-like physique stood out among the crowd, drawing attention.Oblivious to the stares, he waited for about te
Caleb froze in his tracks. His eyes were locked onto Penny and Zach as they disappeared inside the theater.The attendant by the entrance flashed him a sympathetic smile after catching a glimpse of Caleb's evident distress.Stepping back, Caleb inadvertently bumped into Liam, who had just arrived with his girlfriend, Belle.Liam blinked, thinking he was seeing things. "Cousin?"He gave his eyes a quick rub. It was indeed Caleb.Caleb's eyes darted to the movie tickets in Liam's grip, noticing one was adjacent to Penny's seat. Without missing a beat, he snatched a ticket and handed it to the attendant, who stared in disbelief.Liam, with just the one ticket left and a sold-out show, was left in a quandary. It would not make sense for his cousin to sit with his girlfriend, would it?With his quick thinking, Liam released Belle's hand. "Belle, why don't you check out those bags downstairs? See if anything catches your fancy. I think I'll catch this movie with my cousin."It was no
