Chapter 7 What Is Meant To Be Will Be

ผู้เขียน: Twin Bridge
“About what?” Caleb snapped back after answering Liam’s call.

Caleb's tone was extremely cold. He leaned back slowly and said, "In the future, don't introduce me to this kind of woman."

‘Does he feel no shame that we shared a woman?’

He was aware that there were people who had such a habit. However, he had been abstinent for many years and was never interested in such things.

‘I’m not sure what Liam has been learning out there all these years. He needs to grow up sooner or later.’

"Caleb, aren’t you coming to see her? I searched for a long time before I found someone suitable for you."

If Caleb was not interested, Liam still had a few vacant houses. "If you don't want it, I'll have her work for me since I quite like her work."

Hearing that, Caleb straightened in his seat immediately.

"I’ll arrange for you to intern at the Fergerson Corporation so that you won't hang out with these dubious people all day long. Your mother has already spoken to me about it. Come to the office tomorrow morning."

While Liam was stunned at his words, Caleb hung up the phone before Liam had time to refute.

He looked at Penny in distress. Penny guessed that she was probably rejected.

She reassured him. "Mr. Jones, don't worry. Maybe Mr. Fergerson has a designer that he likes more. After all, the house is going to be designed for his favorite person, so it makes sense that he’s picky."

Liam sighed and said, "That’s impossible. I know that he's still looking for a designer."

Penny's expression was calm. "What is meant to be will be. Maybe I’m just not fated to work for Mr. Fergerson."

"Well then, I'll ask him in person later. If he doesn't need your services, I'll hand over a few of my houses for you to design. I do like your style."

Penny smiled and reached out her hand slowly. "Thank you for appreciating my work, Mr. Jones."

Liam’s phone rang again. He answered the call before turning around to give Penny and Hank an apologetic smile. "Tonight's expenses will be charged to my account. I have to get going, so please give me your contact number and I’ll call you another day."

Penny gave him her number without hesitation. Liam saved it, got up, and left the room.

In a blink of an eye, Penny and Hank were the only ones left in the room. Hank was on his second round of drinks for the night and was already drunk. Once there were no outsiders, he did not have to put on an act anymore.

"Let me call you a taxi, Hank"

Penny knew that he stayed behind to negotiate the project for her. She appreciated it. Besides that, she felt comfortable working in Hank's studio.

"Thank you for your help, Penny."

After Hank relaxed, his drunkenness overwhelmed him instantly.

Penny wanted to drive Hank home but she knew better. Hank got married a year ago and his wife was the jealous sort. To avoid unnecessary trouble, it was better for Penny to get him a taxi.

She helped him up. After leaving the room, they walked along the corridor toward the elevator on the other side.

The elevator led to the exit.

Hank was mumbling drunkenly.

"I told you that it's not what you think. I'm tired of you doing this.

"Can’t you give me some space?"

Penny guessed that he was so drunk that he thought he was arguing with his wife. Penny held him up respectfully, but it was a little strenuous as she had to keep a distance.

Hank staggered and almost fell forward when the elevator doors opened.

Penny hastily pulled him back when a long and bony hand reached out from inside to hold onto the elevator doors.

Her eyes trailed along to the owner of the hand until she realized it was Caleb.

Penny wanted to say "thank you" but she was too surprised to utter a word.

‘We haven't seen each other in the past three years. Now, why do we keep bumping into each other since yesterday? Is this fate?’

Caleb glanced at her and Hank, then looked away. "Which floor are you heading to?"

The collar of Caleb’s shirt was loose with two buttons undone. He looked more relaxed than before but he retained the same composure.

Even so, Penny caught the sarcasm and disgust in his gaze.

Awkward silence filled the air around them. She helped Hank into the elevator. Her tone was impartial and polite as she said, "First floor, thank you."

It just so happened that Hank muttered some nonsense again.

"All you talk about is money. Do you even have feelings for me?"

Penny heard from her colleagues in the studio that Hank’s wife spent a lot of money. Hank was a motivated man who built the studio into what it was. However, he did not keep any of the money he earned. Every dime went to his wife.

It was so quiet that the only thing that Penny could hear was the wind from the air-conditioning. Suddenly, she heard Caleb murmuring, "Is he your client?"

Judging by Hank’s current state, Penny could not admit that Hank was her boss.

She knew Caleb disliked her. If he found out that the owner of the studio that employed Penny was drunk in a club, he might immediately blacklist them and never hire them. With that in mind, she nodded.

“Yes, Mr. Fergerson. What a coincidence."

    Penny was displeased but was too shy to voice it out. Her body felt empty.“Are you happy that he’s back?” “No.” “Then, do you want me?” Penny bit her lip. He had caused sweat to break out across her body. Caleb’s phone rang. Finn was on the other end of the line. He answered the phone, and Finn’s voice rang out. “Imperial City is going to be in chaos tonight. The higher-ups are hunting for the results of Caspian's experiments, and even Uncle Shawn is getting involved in this. "He just called and told me that the higher-ups contacted him and basically forced him to agree to convince Caspian to give them the results. "Cas has also contacted the higher-ups himself and told them that unless Penny is by his side, the mental torture he was subjected to will stop him from recalling where he’s put the chip.” It was a matter of national security, and this was what Caspian was using as his bartering chip the minute he returned. There was no doubt the higher-ups would put a

    Penny had made it out of the room by then. Her face was deathly pale. “Penny!” Caleb ran after her and pulled her into his arms. He pulled her behind a pillar where no one could see them. Caleb knew what was going through her mind, and he held her face in his hands. She did not look at him. Her chest heaved as she struggled to process the truth. Caleb did not know what to say and merely brushed the tip of his nose against hers. When she did not resist, he slowly moved down and kissed her. He knew why Caspian had chosen this sort of appearance. Not only would he manage to devastate Penny, but he could also announce to everyone that he was Penny’s first love. That way, he could also cause Caleb to find himself in a sticky situation. However, Caleb could not care less. As he kissed Penny, he tightened his arms around her waist. Their breaths turned ragged as they continued kissing for another ten minutes. Finally, he rested his forehead on her shoulder. His back was slig

    Despite everyone staring at him, Caleb only had eyes for Penny. Penny did not know the reason behind that, and her brows were knitted together tightly as she watched Caspian make his way down from the second floor. He took the ring from the host and placed it before her solemnly. “I’m here to fulfill my promise, Penpen.” Penny wanted to smack his hand away, but he slowly bent over and smiled as he took her hand. He tried to put the ring on her finger, but his actions were stopped by someone else. He looked in the direction where the hand had come from, and his gaze met Caleb. “Long time no see, Caleb.” Caleb pulled Penny from her seat into his arms. She was left with no choice but to sit on his lap. Caleb could not care less about whatever sort of tricks Caspian would pull. If he allowed Caspian to put that finger on Penny’s finger, he would change his last name! Penny wanted to struggle out of his grasp, but the warmth of his body caused her to stop. He was still

    Some people were speculating if they had gotten back together again, and some were even wondering if Caleb was blind. Why did he pass on Khloe Strauss and choose a designer who did not come from a prestigious family? No matter how well Penny ran her company, these people would still view her as a lowly designer fighting to make a name for herself in the market. She ignored everyone else’s stares and merely took a piece of tissue. She turned slightly to wipe the sweat from Caleb’s forehead. Caleb opened his eyes slightly and looked at her. The two did not say anything. Plenty of people were standing around them, but the light above their heads seemed to have enveloped them in a world of their own. Penny felt her heart rate increase as she clutched the tissue and returned her gaze to the stage. “This is a piece of emerald that Mr. Winston Hill has donated. Bidding starts at three million dollars.” Everyone’s gaze turned toward Winston. Winston smiled at everyone as he int

    Ethan patted her head and then noticed Sean's gaze shifting toward them."Sean?"Sean leaned back and remained silent, merely twirling his phone between his thumb and forefinger. His lowered lashes cast a shadow.He stood up and heard Ethan say again, "Leave your phone."Sean chuckled. "Ethan, you're being too serious right now."He left his phone behind and went upstairs.Khloe continued to sway Ethan's shoulders."Ethan, I had Wind take action against Penny tonight. This time, success is mandatory. Failure is not an option."Ethan's expression turned grave instantly. "Didn't I tell you not to act on your own?""But I nearly lost my life because of her, twice."After saying this, she touched the area over her heart, her complexion turning pale in a moment."Khlo?"This time, Khloe genuinely felt discomfort in her heart, and the next second, she fainted."Khlo!"Ethan was no longer concerned about reprimanding her and immediately took her to the hospital.…Tonight, the
