“Caleb, what do you plan to do now?”Before he knew Penny Sullivan was his designer, Caleb had already fallen for her, not minding that she was married. He even became a manstress.Now, knowing the truth, he was definitely more unwilling to give up.Nonetheless, Penny definitely did not like him. If she had even a bit of affection for him, she would not have divorced him.Caleb sat on the sofa, surrounded by a thick pile of information about Penny.He raised his hand to rub his forehead, his voice very hoarse.“I don’t know.”This surreal reality caught him off guard.“Do you want to win her back?”“Of course, I do.”The problem was, if he pursued her, would Penny agree?He clearly knew how excessive he had been in the past, having said many bad things about Penny in front of her. Even her father’s illness had something to do with him…Putting it all together, he had made too many mistakes.Penny was a woman of absolute rationality. Having been in bed with him so many time
“Laura, I’m free these days. How about we meet for a meal?”Laura’s tone immediately became hesitant.“Let’s forget it, Penny. I’m a bit busy these days. We’ll discuss this later on.”Penny frowned. She remembered Laura mentioning that Mason’s cousin needed surgery. Could it be that the surgery had not happened yet?However, Laura had already hung up, so she did not ask further.Nani barked, seeming to know that Penny was in a good mood tonight. She started running around playfully.Penny did not chase after her and just watched as Nani ran wild in the yard.The next morning, she went to S.M.As soon as she entered the office, she saw someone sitting there. It was Caleb.Seeing him in this place, she thought she was hallucinating.Then, she remembered that Caleb now knew her identity and must have done his research.At this moment, he was quietly sitting in her chair, looking at some documents beside him.This was where she worked?She had transformed the Sullivans’ compan
Sebastian did not dare procrastinate when he heard that Caleb was trying to woo someone. Soon, a massive bouquet made from 999 roses was delivered to the top floor. The bouquet was so large it nearly got stuck as it was being removed from the elevator. Penny was flicking through documents and waiting for the meeting time to arrive when Winona opened her office door.“You’ve got flowers, Ms. Sullivan.” Penny was about to tell Winona she could just leave the flowers on the table when she looked up and realized she could not even see Winona. She was fully obstructed by the bouquet. In fact, the bouquet required two people to move it. Winona put the bouquet down and began passing along the message as she had been instructed. “This bouquet is from Mr. Fergerson.” Winona recalled the night she had begged Caleb to find out where Penny was. He had been so cold then, so why was he sending flowers over now? Winona did not like Caleb. She thought he was just putting on an act.
“Oh, right. How are things between you and your fiancé?” “He’s been really busy at work recently.”Winona lowered her gaze. “But I used to always be on business trips as well. I understand how important work is to him.” “He and Sherry have been growing quite close to each other recently. You might want to pay a little more attention to him.” Penny was essentially telling her there was something fishy going on with Tommy. However, Winona trusted Tommy. After all, they had been dating for seven years. “I know, but that’s alright. It’s all for work purposes.” “Are you sure? I saw Tommy and Sherry sharing cutlery.” The look on Winona’s face immediately changed. Her eyebrows were knitted together. “I’ll go ask him.” Penny nodded and then resumed work, trying to find out where Jackson was. She planned to meet him that evening.However, Caleb soon received news of what she was doing. When he heard she was trying to source famous managers, he immediately sent two of them
It was alright, though. He would get her back sooner or later. His gaze landed on the documents in front of him. “Don't contact her anymore going forward.” Lucas did not dare say anything. When Caleb was once again the only person in his office, he recalled the existence of Jeremy Tate and Sean Strauss, who would be harder to deal with. There was also that actor, Zach Walker. The more he thought about them, the angrier he got. Why were there so many men around her?Aggrieved feelings washed over him once more when he was reminded of how he also had to get in line now despite being her legal husband in the past. Jeremy definitely had ill intentions. He could not stop himself from calling Jeremy. Jeremy had just fought Caleb a while ago and knew he could not offend him further. Yet, he could not stop himself from mocking Caleb when he answered the phone. “Hey, look who it is. It’s Mr. Ex-Husband!” “When did you know that both Pennys were the same person?”Caleb ignore
That man’s name was Chadwick Zink. Both he and Florence were obviously trying to make things difficult for Jackson, which was why he wanted to terminate the contract. Jackson was here this evening to save his artist. He had never imagined this was all being done with her consent. He did not say anything else. There was no need for him to get involved since she had made this decision herself. What a shame, though. She was a beautiful woman in her prime. Florence patted him on the shoulder.“Deal with it. You want to protect them, but they’re more interested in taking the easy way out. Perhaps you should think of changing your principles. Don’t you have another artist under your wing?” They were trying to sink their claws into that artist as well. Jackson pushed his glasses up his nose and shrugged away Florence’s hand. “You don’t need to worry about that, Ms. Turner.” An ugly look immediately appeared on Florence’s face. Why was he being so difficult? “Think about i
Florence had known Chadwick for many years. She naturally knew what he was referring to. He was a man driven by sex, and after all these years, he had worked up an appetite for good-looking women.“Interested in her, Chadwick?” Chadwick gulped as he nodded. Florence immediately conducted a cost-benefit analysis in her mind. Though she was worried the Fergerson family might get involved in this, she saw no need to worry about them when Caleb himself could not care less about what happened to his ex-wife.She then motioned to her bodyguards again. “Bring her over.” Two men approached Penny again. She immediately grabbed her pepper spray and sprayed its contents into their eyes. As the bodyguards began howling in pain, she ran down the corridor toward the other exit. When she turned the corner, she barrelled right into another man’s arms. He smelled familiar. She had no time to think about why that was the case and tried to continue running away. However, the man wrapped
Nonetheless, Penny completely ignored him, focusing only on Jackson.Behind Jackson stood two of Florence’s bodyguards. If he did not agree to Penny now, he would not be able to leave.He chuckled lightly, pushing up the gold-rimmed glasses on his nose bridge.“Obedience is better than politeness, it seems.”Penny had achieved her goal, but then she heard Florence say, “It's 40 million in liquidated damages. Penny, are you sure you want to pay that?"Even if Jackson was a top agent and truly capable, he could not possibly create 40 million worth of value for Penny’s company.Perhaps Penny was so eager to make this losing deal because she was interested in Jackson as a person?“Ms. Sullivan, Jackson is 32 years old. He indeed possesses the charm of a mature man.”Florence was stirring up trouble.Yet it did make Caleb somewhat concerned.However, he feigned indifference and coldly looked at Florence, “She said she’d pay. Can you leave now?”Florence’s face stiffened, not expe
