The door opened.Aurelia was about to step forward when she noticed that the young man who got out of the car was not Caleb. It was his assistant, Sebastian."Ma'am, Mr. Fergerson has a last-minute appointment and he won’t make it for dinner tonight. He got you this gift."When Aurelia called Caleb, she only told him to come back for dinner without mentioning that Penny would be around.Otherwise, he would probably refuse to go home. After all, three years ago, he left his newlywed wife and went abroad without a second thought.Aurelia gestured for one of her servants to receive the flowers from Sebastian's hand. With a look of disappointment on her face, she sighed. "I know he's busy. It’s fine. Make sure he takes care of himself."Sebastian nodded and got back into the car.Aurelia returned to the living room and looked at Penny. She was not in the best mood, so she dimissived Penny with a wave of her hand. "You can go now. I'll call you when he's free.""Sounds good."Penny
Caleb's gaze was so cold that no amount of sun could warm him.Staring at Penny sternly, he said in a calm voice, "Let's go."Penny followed behind him. He swiped his card, and they entered the club.The floor of the hall was shiny. Everyone waiting at the door bowed and greeted Caleb respectfully.After walking for some distance, Caleb turned around to look at her.Penny stopped too and gave Caleb a polite smile"How much did Liam pay you?"Penny did not know about Liam's relationship with Caleb. She did not know much about the Fergersons and she intend to keep it that way.For three years, she had never met Caleb's father.In her opinion, Liam and Caleb were likely to hang out in the same circle since they knew each other."My boss said that this project may be in the millions.""You have a boss in this line of business?"Caleb was puzzled. He did not know about this.It seemed that what Liam said before was true. Moonlight Club would provide some customers with hidden s
The accidental encounter was too brief so Penny was not worried that Caleb would recognize her.She never showed up in front of the Fergersons, except when she visited Sir Fergerson during the holidays every year. Caleb himself never saw his wife and others would not be interested in an unimportant person like her either.She thought of Caleb's reaction, and regret crept into Penny’s smile. "Maybe it's something I did that ticked off Mr. Fergerson."Liam liked people who were good-looking regardless of their occupation or family background. His tone became involuntarily soft when speaking with such a beautiful woman."How could it be? Your design is artistic. My cousin runs a business, but he didn't start off studying finance. He took two degrees, and one of them happens to be related to art. I’m sure he can appreciate beautiful things. Maybe he's so preoccupied with the divorce recently that puts him in a bad mood."Penny did not respond. Hank asked in surprise, "Caleb is married?!"L
“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 offic
Penny’s expression was so candid that Caleb wondered if he was overreacting. He was not familiar with this aspect of the world, after all.Caleb stood there gloomily, like a motionless sculpture of a god that people dared not look too closely.As the elevator descended to their respective floors, Penny felt the need to fight for the future of the design studio.Since she started working, she realized that her pride meant nothing most of the time.After all, Caleb was a high-paying client."Mr. Fergerson, I’d still like to know your preferred style. I can give it a try. If you’re still dissatisfied later, you won’t be charged."Caleb no longer knew what he could say to this woman.He was fuming. However, he held back his emotions and answered, "Don't you already have a client?"Penny was a little surprised. ‘Is Caleb worried that I won’t give him my full attention?’Some designers did have several clients at the same time but Penny had always placed great importance on quality,
The next morning, Penny covered the marks on her face with foundation before heading to the studio.The studio was located above a commercial building. It had a total of two floors.As a long-term part-timer, Penny did not need to go in on weekdays. However, she had to attend the monthly meetings.Hank, who was always the first to arrive, had not shown up yet. Hank only arrived in the office half an hour after the meeting started.Hank was wearing the same suit from yesterday and he was endlessly restless.Penny was spinning a pen during the meeting and she stopped when she saw Hank. She had a feeling that something might have happened to Hank."Sorry for being late today." Hank walked to the head of the table. After he sat down, he noticed Penny's worried gaze and smiled apologetically.Others summarized their current projects one by one.After the meeting ended, Penny initially wanted to leave with everyone else. Seeing that Hank remained seated at the table, she walked ove
Penny sat down in the seating area by the window and responded to the text rather quickly.[Can I meet him in person?]She was downstairs at the Fergerson Corporation. So long as he agreed, she could meet Caleb immediately.The lawyer said he would discuss it with Caleb and stopped replying.On the top floor of the building, the man sitting behind the black marble desk was going through the documents in front of him.Sebastian opened the door and said, "Mr. Fergerson, Ms. Sullivan would like to see you."Caleb briefly looked away from the document. His tone was flat and made it clear that he was not interested in furthering the topic."No."‘She just doesn’t want to get divorced.‘Does she think that meeting me can change anything? She’s too confident in herself.’A hint of annoyance flashed across his face. With a cold and low voice, he said, "Have the lawyer send the divorce agreement to the Sullivans and watch her sign it."Sebastian nodded and did not dig deeper into the
Penny felt the coldness in his eyes.The group passed by her without even looking. The leader of the group focused all his attention on Caleb as he talked and walked. He was being especially careful around Caleb because he wanted to curry favor but did not dare to offend him. The others in the group were all dressed in suits and leather shoes.It was a strange circle that she had never been in contact with.Penny stood there for a while before heading out with the golf clubs in her hand.Andy had an ordinary appearance that was unaffected by his famously branded sportswear. He sent a white golf ball into the air, drawing a beautiful arc before entering the hole. When he saw Penny coming, he handed his club to the caddy beside him."Miss Penny, it’s been so hard to meet up with you."Penny smiled widely and sat down beside him. "Mr. Andy, you’re too kind. I'm just a nobody."As they spoke, the staff next to them began to clear the area. They knew at a glance that a big shot was c
