Sebastian took a second to process what he just saw and suddenly reacted with shock. "I'll check right away..."Caleb pursed his lips and a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes. ‘It’s a cheap trick. She’s acting like she’s not interested in grabbing my attention. Launching an investigation on her might be exactly what she wants.’"No need."‘I’m certain she’ll show her face soon enough. She put in so much effort to lure me into bed, after all.’Penny hurried back to her apartment and washed herself several times before planting herself on the bed.When she closed her eyes, all she could think about was how hard Caleb pounded her. At first, she was not used to it but then the powerful feeling of physical pleasure and sensation flooded her entire body.In all honesty, she did not have issues with her first time being with Caleb, except for hearing another woman's name from his mouth.‘Charlotte, Charlotte Shaw… She's why he wants to divorce me.’She was exhausted but the sorene

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

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

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,

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
