Penelope felt like half of her burdens had lifted after finally moving out of the hotel and into her apartment.The past week at work with Carlton had been surprisingly drama-free and pleasantly uneventful, so much so that she found it hard to believe, considering how he had made her think he would spend the entire time flirting and seducing her throughout the duration of their arrangement.Judging by the way everything was going smoothly and how she had yet to run into Geoffrey for the past week, she was beginning to think that Lady Luck was on her side, and she could only hope that it would remain that way for the remaining three weeks of the arrangement. Arriving at the office, Penelope’s brows furrowed when she noticed Carlton was nowhere in sight but his coat hung on the coat hanger which told her he had already come in.Deciding to confirm with his secretary, she stepped out to ask, and the secretary informed her that he had stepped out a while ago without mentioning where he w

The next day, Carlton was as professional as ever, but Penelope couldn't shake the feeling that he was watching her every move, waiting for her to slip up. She had to stay vigilant and not let her guard down.At the close of work, she felt a sense of relief wash over her as she made her way out of Carlton's office and headed for the elevator.She was relieved that Carlton had behaved himself and not caused any unnecessary drama. All she had to do now was do her best to keep things this way for the next twenty-two days and soon it will all be over. Her thoughts were interrupted by a familiar but unpleasant voice calling out her name."Penelope? Penelope!"Penelope took a deep breath as she turned to face Geoffrey, praying for the patience to deal withhim.“It's really you. What are you back here for?" He asked as he strode towards her, his expression a mix of surprise and annoyance.When Hillary had informed him that Penelope had checked out of the hotel, they had both assumed that sh

Hillary's mind was filled with questions as she drove to Geoffrey's place. Ever since their phone call, she had kept asking herself why Penelope hadn't reached out to her since returning and why she had suddenly left the hotel.Where was she staying? Why was she back after seven years? What did she want? Why was the interview with Carlton Banks so important to her?The moment she arrived at Geoffrey's house, she punched in the passcode and walked in. He was expecting her, and there was no need for formalities between them.The moment she stepped into the living room, she found Geoffrey lounging on the sofa with a glass of whiskey in his hand. Although he was still wearing his work clothes, he had taken off his jacket and loosened his tie."What is going on, Jeff? Why did you sound like that on the phone? Did Penelope say something to you? What happened?" Hillary demanded as she joined him on the couch."Before I say anything, I have news. One good and one bad. Which do you want to hear

Geoffrey, who had been thinking all morning about how to get more information on Penelope and Carlton's interview arrangement, decided to go speak with Carlton's secretary since he believed she would know all about their appointments.If he could find out the next time Penelope would be stopping by to meet with Carlton, then he could easily arrange to tail her when she left.He frowned when he got to Carlton's office lobby and saw that his secretary was not at her seat.Assuming that the secretary was inside the office with Carlton and not wanting to leave without getting the information he came for, he decided to go into Carlton's office.He knocked once on the door and, without waiting for a response, opened it and stepped inside.He stopped in his tracks when he saw Penelope seated there with Carlton. Although her presence ignited a spark of anger in him, he didn't let it show and instead pasted a polite smile on his face.Carlton and Penelope, who had been in the middle of a conve

As Geoffrey waited for Penelope outside the bakery, he decided to give Hillary a call to while away the time since he was boredHe knew she would be happy when he told her about Carlton's arrangement with Penelope. He smiled as he dialed her line and it didn't take long for her to receive the call."Hey, boo," Hillary greeted in a sultry voice that made him grin."Guess what?" He asked and she raised a brow.Penelope got hit by a car and she's dead?" She asked, and Geoffrey chuckled.You'd like that to happen, wouldn't you?""You know that would take care of ALL my problems. Hillary said and Geoffrey chuckled again."Well, she isn't dead. I have my eyes on her right now. She's hanging cut with Eloise at the moment," he said and Hillary frowned.“Penelope is hanging out with Eloise? You mean that stupid bitch is hanging out with Eloise when she is yet to reach out to me?" Hillary asked in disbelief.“I told you she has changed, didn't I ?” Geoffrey said and she sighed."Do you think th
