Penny had a feeling that the company would become livelier in the coming days.It was due to Taliah's exuberant personality, which easily endeared her to people.After Taliah left, only Penny and Jackson remained in the office.Jackson seemed quite troubled and sighed."Ms. Sullivan, I apologize for her behavior. She didn't mean any disrespect."Penny found it amusing."I actually like her. Maybe you're a bit too strict.""There's no square without rules. I've taught her what she has to know at Astral Motion, but she never changes. She's bound to suffer for it one day."Penny pushed the documents on her desk forward."The script she’s currently working on just started filming. She's the lead actress. I've read the script, and it's quite good. After she finishes this drama, we'll pick a more suitable one for her at our company."The drama Taliah was filming was called 'Phoenix List'. It was a grand female-centric period drama with excellent details on power struggles and quite
Caleb had already been asleep but was jolted awake by the barrage of messages.Opening his phone, he saw the social media post.Nani was missing?Immediately, the image of the dog's ingratiating face flashed in his mind.Yes, Penny used to always walk her and kept her at Dawn Haven Villa.He quickly got up and called Sebastian."Get everyone to look for the dog. Penny is very anxious."Probably nobody in Imperial City ever imagined a dog could make Caleb so worried.Penny had been searching the park for over half an hour but did not find Nani.The later it got, the more she worried Nani might have been targeted by dog thieves.Dog thieves often preyed on lost dogs and sold them to breeders.Penny felt cold all over, not just from the rain but also because of Nani.Nani was a gift from that person, and she could not afford to lose her.She wiped the rain off her face and quickly got back into her car, planning to continue searching along the road.Just as she was about to
Penny was so anxious about Nani's condition that she completely forgot about Caleb's allergy to dog fur.Her gaze was firmly fixed on Nani. She was unwilling to look away for even a moment.If only she had glanced at Caleb, she would have noticed something was wrong.Yet from beginning to end, her eyes never shifted upward.Caleb went from anticipating her reaction to finally feeling resentment.If she did not notice, he would not bring it up himself.When the car arrived at the veterinary hospital, he felt like he was going to faint but still managed to carry Nani inside with steady steps.The doctor took Nani to perform emergency treatment.A staff member then noticed Caleb's condition. His breathing was erratic, and the rash on his neck was evident."Sir, are you allergic to animal fur?"Caleb's vision was shaking, with everything in chaos.That was when Penny remembered that he was allergic to dog fur!She quickly turned to Sebastian, who was standing at the door."Mr.
Caleb felt frustrated but realized that if he showed his anger toward her, it might just result in a slap across his face, considering everything he had done to her before.Lying in bed, he kept refreshing her social media post, then noticed a comment from Winston.[No wonder Caleb suddenly asked us to look for a dog. It turns out it was your dog that was lost.]Seeing this message, Caleb's heart felt much better.Refreshing the page, he saw another comment from Winston.[If he helped you look for it, you should help keep an eye on him. He's severely allergic to dog fur.]Caleb felt even more relieved, and a faint smile even formed on his lips.On the other hand, Penny, after finishing her ordeal, was about to drag her tired body to bed when she saw Winston's comments.She then remembered Caleb's help from the evening.Hesitating for a few seconds, she sent him a message.[Thank you.]It was just two simple words, yet they instantly soothed Caleb's anger.Alright, she was n
After hanging up the phone, Jeanie instructed her team."Keep hiring more online influencers to tarnish Taliah's reputation.""Ms. Bailey, we’re already on it. The internet is filled with criticism, labeling Taliah as a little gangster."Jeanie's lips curled into a smirk. With the backing of the Bailey family, she was confident she could easily handle a woman who relied solely on men.'Penny Sullivan, was it? I'll make her come begging me within two months,' Jeanie thought confidently.Meanwhile, Penny, still unaware that Taliah had slapped a member of the Bailey family, tried calling Taliah, who did not answer. She was clearly showing her temper.Penny then called Taliah's agent.Her agent was a young woman, whose voice was trembling with nervousness at the moment. After all, Penny was her biggest boss."Ms. Sullivan.""What’s she doing now? How is she?""She's sleeping, and she won’t open the door when I knock.""As her agent, you must know why she hit someone, right?""Y
At present, almost all celebrities maintained a public persona, and fans often adored this persona rather than the individual's true nature. Probably only those who had interacted with the celebrities would know what they were really like.Taliah's vivacious character indeed could be shaped into an authentic and passionate persona, which could not only clear her name but also successfully attract a new wave of fans.Jackson, visibly excited behind his gold-rimmed glasses, chuckled lightly. He then hurriedly got out of the car."Ms. Sullivan, I’ll contact that actress right away and persuade her to cooperate with us."Penny nodded in agreement.After returning to the office, she received a call from Dawn Haven Villa."Ms. Sullivan, we've found that Jeanie attended high school in the country. There was a quota for direct admission to a prestigious foreign music school which wasn't originally meant for Jeanie. "However, the student who was supposed to go suddenly faced issues with
Penny sat silently in the car, with Sebastian driving and Caleb sitting beside her.Their legs touched, and he could feel her warmth through the thin fabric.The dim lighting inside the car and the streetlights outside cast fluctuating shadows on her face.This sort of interplay of light and shadow was creating a distracting effect.For ten minutes since they got into the car, Penny had been glued to her phone, seemingly oblivious to Caleb's presence.Caleb was initially angry, then felt a sense of helplessness.He noticed Penny's hand resting on her knee, and she was seemingly deep in thought.She was probably irritated as she leaned back and closed her eyes.Her right hand was holding her phone, and her left hand was on her knee. Her brows were slightly furrowed, and her eyelids were closed. She looked very quiet.After a minute's hesitation, Caleb slowly reached out and gently held her hand that was on her knee.Penny stiffened visibly, opening her eyes to meet his intense
The cool breeze eased the heat on her face, making her feel much better.Was Caleb doing this on purpose?Teasing her until she felt uncomfortable, then starting to work as if taking revenge for her focusing on her job earlier?Her brows furrowed, and she could not help but glance at him. Yet his expression was so serious, as if he truly had urgent work matters.Penny felt a little aggrieved. She lowered her eyelashes, trying to focus her thoughts back on work. However, her gaze kept involuntarily drifting to his hands.She truly liked Caleb's hands. They were more attractive than those of the best hand models. In fact, there was not a single unattractive part on Caleb—his face, his physique, and even his most private parts were perfect.He certainly had the means to play with women, but she did not want to be one of them.Suppressing her agitation, she managed to calm down amid the sound of his keyboard typing. The car had already stopped in front of the mansion.A staff m
