Down below, Penny had found the location of Ford's CEO.She targeted the Ford brand because the CEO was friends with her mentor, Robert. Whenever Penny spoke with Robert on the phone, she exchanged a few words with the CEO.As expected, when she approached, the CEO greeted her with a warm nod. "Little Penny, I finally get to meet you. Robert often talks about you, and this is our first meeting."Robert was so proud of his protégé that he often showed off their photos together, making it hard for the Ford CEO not to recognize Penny.Penny smiled at him and introduced, "Uncle Fender, this is a newly signed artist of my company, the male lead of the recently released The Wind and the Clouds."Then, she signaled Zach to toast with Kit Fender.Zach hurriedly took a glass of wine from a server."Mr. Fender, hello. Nice to meet you."Kit, understanding Penny's intention and the importance of preserving Robert's dignity, responded playfully."Little Penny, if I drink this, I'll fall i
Everyone watched Penny, believing she would not dare to take the stage.In the elite social circles, Penny was seen as insignificant, only gaining attention due to her association with Caleb.At that moment, everyone was ready to ridicule her. Their mocking gazes occasionally fell on her.Zach, who was standing beside her, felt anxious but noticed Penny walking toward the stage.Everyone was shocked, thinking Penny had gone mad. If she went on stage now, she was sure to embarrass herself.Penny was dressed modestly for a business meeting, and she contrasted starkly with the elaborately dressed Jeanie.Such lavish parties were frequent in elite circles, but Penny would normally not attend unless it was for business purposes.As she reached the stage, she nodded slowly to the audience and then looked at Jeanie with composure.Jeanie's face twisted in disgust. She was incredulous that this bitch dared to come up the stage!She was determined to humiliate Penny, making her an obje
After everyone in the audience regained their composure, they erupted into applause.No one cared about Jeanie anymore; she had become a complete fool.Several ladies from wealthy families immediately surrounded Penny."Ms. Sullivan, you're so talented in everything you do. No wonder Robert values you so much.""My son needs a violin teacher. Would you be able to guide him in your free time?""Ms. Sullivan, you're always welcome at our afternoon tea gatherings."A woman's dignity was not given by a man but earned by herself.If Penny had still been relying on Caleb that night, these people would never have been so polite to her.She smiled and waved her hand."I've been quite busy with the company recently. I'm really sorry.""No problem at all. We all know about your company. If you have any projects you'd like to collaborate on in the future, feel free to contact us."Penny continued to smile at everyone."Thank you so much, ladies."The crowd around her was so large tha
As Penny approached her car, she raised her hand to rub her forehead.Zach was by her side, looking at her with an almost fan-like admiration."Ms. Sullivan, that piece was really amazing. You’re so impressive," he exclaimed.Penny smiled, patting his shoulder. "We secured the Ford endorsement. Get ready to sign the contract tomorrow. Do well."Zach's eyes shimmered with indiscernible emotions. Noticing no one around, he softly said, "Ms. Sullivan, there's something on your face. Close your eyes."Penny unsuspectingly asked, "Where?"Zach, looking at her face, felt his throat tighten. He was tempted to kiss her, but he heard footsteps behind him.Hastily, he just pinched her cheek, and his tone was somewhat disappointed. "It's gone now."Opening her eyes, Penny smiled at him. “Thanks. I've asked your agent to pick you up. You should go back first.”After saying that, she saw Caleb not far away and was a little surprised.He was back?Through the car window, Zach had already
When Caleb was pushed away, he staggered back a few steps.Penny had already opened the room's door, half stepping out.However, in the next second, he pulled her back by her waist.The door slammed shut again, and she found herself being turned around to face him.His gaze was intense, as if something was burning deep in his eyes.Just that look alone seemed to weave a complex web of emotions.Penny involuntarily stepped back, feeling overwhelmed."Caleb, stop it. What are we right now..."They were nothing.She was only wrapped in a towel, which nearly slipped down due to her nervousness.Caleb's hand slipped under the towel."Whatever we are, it's up to you."His breath was unsteady as he lifted her and placed her on a cabinet near the window.The room was dark because Penny had turned off the lights, creating an overly intimate atmosphere.Stimulated by the situation, she found herself unable to speak.Caleb proceeded to remove her towel.Without her permission, he
"What do you mean by incapacitated?"Caleb, too, had a hint of red in the corners of his eyes and on his lips. The intense kissing they had just engaged in left both their lips red and swollen.He leaned against the doorframe, towering over her with a hint of grievance in his deep eyes."Aren't you a graduate of Imperial University? Don't you know what that means? If a man gets aroused and is left hanging, it could ruin him. If I end up without descendants, it'll be your fault."What?!Penny was shocked. How could someone be so shameless?!She sneaked a glance and noticed that his part really did not seem noticeable.Caleb, leaning against the doorframe with his eyes closed, appeared to leave the decision entirely up to her.He was so brazen and straightforward.Penny could not help but wonder if he really was 'damaged'.If that were true, Sir Fergerson would definitely inquire about it. Given Caleb's shameless nature, he would surely blame her.That would be a bigger proble
The lights in the room were still on, and neither of them moved anymore.Penny thought she would suffer from insomnia, but she soon fell asleep.Downstairs, Sebastian had already arrived.Caleb had instructed him to come and collect the clothes, and he did not dare to delay.It was Lucy who let him in.Sebastian, a competent assistant who had been with Caleb for a long time, glanced upstairs.Sensing no commotion, he asked Lucy, "Aunt Lucy, did Mr. Fergerson and Ms. Penny have a quarrel again?"Lucy pondered for a moment, having heard no noise. "I'm not sure," she replied."Go to bed, Aunt Lucy. I'll pack Mr. Fergerson's clothes and leave by myself," Sebastian suggested, aware of the late hour and Lucy's age.Quietly, Sebastian went upstairs. He tried to listen for any signs of an argument, but the house was silent.Standing outside the bedroom where Caleb was staying, he listened intently but heard nothing.Realizing that perhaps Caleb and Penny had reconciled, at least tem
Caleb casually leaned back in his seat and responded with a smile, "Okay, Penny."Penny gave him a curious glance, not quite grasping the reason for his cheerful demeanor.As they arrived at the hospital and faced the men's clinic sign, Caleb felt a sense of discomfort. The pride and self-esteem of men in these matters were often exceptionally strong, and admitting any deficiency was usually out of the question.His decision to use this as an excuse to spend more time with her was a bold move.After the examination, the doctor was vague because he had already received the instructions from his superiors."Further observation might be needed. It's unclear whether the issue is physical or psychological. You both could try more often. Ms. Sullivan, you might need to stimulate more to see the results."Penny, blushing and slightly embarrassed by the doctor's professional yet intimate suggestions, immediately grew panicked.“Is there really a problem?“Meanwhile, Caleb stood aside
