All Chapters of The CEO: My Baby's Father : Chapter 31 - Chapter 38

Days passed in the city of Birmingham. Everyone was up for their work and business. And in Dawnat, the energy was twice that.Phones rang endlessly, the staff hurried through the hallways carrying files and tablets.Even Wilson looked mildly stressed, which Penelope was beginning to believe was biologically impossible.“What’s happening?” she asked as she walked into the design department with her coffee.Wilson looked up from his laptop dramatically, “Chaos. Absolute chaos!”Penelope blinked with a slight chuckle, “That explains absolutely nothing.”“A new luxury contract,” he lifted a brow.Penelope paused, “Oh?”Wilson leaned back in his chair.“Massive project. Some billionaire family just purchased a historic property in Chicago and wants Dawnat to redesign the entire interior before winter.”Her brows lifted immediately, “Chicago?”“Yup.” He pointed toward the conference rooms. “The senior design teams have been scrambling since morning.”Penelope nodded slowly, sipping her coff

Penelope practically floated through the front door of Demetria's home. Which was a shocker. Because Penelope Adams never floated this excitedly.She worried and overthought herself into emotional exhaustion and then drank coffee afterward.But tonight?Tonight, there was a strange lightness in her chest that refused to leave.The apartment smelled like garlic bread and tomato sauce, meaning Demetria was either cooking…or setting the kitchen on fire again.“Demi?” Penelope called while slipping off her shoes.A loud crash sounded from the kitchen.“I’M ALIVE!” Demetria yelled back and Penelope laughed, saying, “Comforting!”Penelope continued laughing as she walked further inside just as Demetria emerged from the kitchen wearing fuzzy socks, an oversized shirt, and an expression full of mischief.Then she froze dramatically. Her eyes narrowed.“…Why do you look shiny?”Penelope blinked, “What?”“You look shiny.” Demetria pointed accusingly. “What happened?”Penelope tried not to smile

Friday morning arrived with the kind of excitement that buzzed in the air like electricity. Dawnat was so much more livelier and brighter today, that one would think it was pay day.Well, indeed salaries had been paid. But there was more joy from the staff going on the big project.The massive project had become the talk of the company all week, especially after employees learned Calvin himself would be accompanying the team.That alone had sent the entire office into incessant discussions.By seven-thirty in the morning, Dawnat’s lobby was already crowded with staff members dragging suitcases behind them, sipping coffee, laughing loudly, and taking pictures like overexcited university students instead of working professionals.Penelope stepped through the revolving doors with her suitcase rolling behind her, and immediately paused.The lobby looked like an airport already.Her lips twitched into a smile, “Oh my God…”“PENNY!”She barely had time to react before Demetria dramatically

Penelope thought the airplane controversy had been the worst thing that could happen.She had been very, very wrong.When the Dawnat crew finally landed in Chicago, everyone disembarked with visible excitement.The airport buzzed around them with movement, voices, and rolling luggage. Staff members talked over one another while they moved through baggage claim, their energy somehow stronger despite the long trip.By the time everything was concluded, a private shuttle had arrived to drive them to the hotel where Dawnat had booked their stay.And when Penelope learned the hotel was also owned by the Dawsons…well…that somehow made complete sense.The moment they arrived, everyone stepped out and stared.The building towered over the street like something out of a magazine. Elegant glass panels reflected the evening skyline while warm golden lights glowed through the entrance.It looked breathtaking.One of the younger staff let out a low whistle, “Is there anything the Dawsons don’t own
