Chapter 84 CEO of the Walker Group Penelope flung the car door open, "Kelvin, I know who's been good to me. But rest assured, your nis definitely not on that list!" After stepping out of the car, she slammed the door with deliberate force.
Did Kelvin think he was the only one with a temper? Didn't she have one too? Besides, she wasn't so down on her luck that she needed to stoop to picking through trash or walking everywhere.
She, Penelope, was a top graduate, capable and competent. Had it not been for Kelvin's meddling, she would have already made her mark in her field of expertise! So, Penelope hailed a cab and handed the driver two hundred dollars- "Driver, please follow that Rolls-Royce up ahead!" "Alright, hold tight!" the taxi driver replied.
Taxi drivers are the most familiar with the city's layout, and this one's driving skills were top-notch. Weaving through traffic with a series of lefts and rights, it took less than ten minutes for them to pull up alongside the Rolls-Royce.
"How's that, young lady? My driving's not bad, right?" the driver boasted proudly. "No matter how expensive the car, it's all about how you drive it!" "Fantastic!" Penelope cheered.
She rolled down the window and, looking at the Rolls-Royce next to her, flipped it the bird.
Inside, Kelvin's eyes narrowed.

Kelvin's face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.
Alright, Penelope was really stepping up her game, daring to flip him off and show off by overtaking his car! Back at the company, entering the jewelry department, Penelope found her colleagues gathered around Monica, with exclamations of amazement occasionally breaking out- "So shiny." "It looked tacky in the drawings, but the actual piece reeks of money." "I could never earn enough in my lifetto afford this ring, I'm crying." "Mrs. Davis is so lucky." Monica, dissatisfied, remarked, "It's so ugly, what's there to like?" "The wedding ring's done?" Penelope approached, "Letsee." "Not yet, it's still in France. Only a few photos have been sent back. But at this rate, it should be shipped back to the country by the beginning of next month, and we'll see the real thing." Penelope flipped through the photos, chuckled twice, but did not comment.
"I need to go write the promotional copy for this wedding ring," Monica grumbled, ruffling her hair. "This is literally killing me!" Knowing full well that the ring was meant for Fiona's finger, and that Mrs. Davis was actually her best friend Penelope, this task...
Monica almost flipped her lid with Timothy! "Just treat it like any other job, keep a level head," Penelope consoled her. "I can't wait to get out of this misery and let them lovers finally get together." "What lovers, they're nothing but a pair of cheaters!" Monica was blunt, never holding back what she thought.
Penelope covered her mouth,"Shush, be careful what you say." "I'm not wrong, ugh. Kelvin really knows how to disgust people, making you design,market, and Fiona reaps the benefits... Why should she?" "Let it go, I don't care about that," Penelope said. "But there's something I want to ask you if you can help with." "Tell me." "My mother's diamond bracelet shattered, and I've tried many ways, but I can't fix it..." Penelope carefully took out the diamond bracelet wrapped in silk from her bag. "How did it break like this? Even if it's glued, there will be cracks, it can't be restored. Such a pity," Monica observed. "I'll ask a friend for you." Planning your weekend reading?

But she didn't notice a middle-aged woman at a nearby workstation glaring at her with resentment.
Why should Penelope stand out so much in the jewelry department? Mr. Foster admired her, Ms. Perez treated her like a sister, and she heard that Mr. Davis was also closely involved with her...
Hmph, she needed to find an opportunity to put Penelope in her place! In terms of position, she was higher than Penelope! Penelope was just a designer, while her own rank was department manager, just below Monica.
After thinking it over, she approached, "Penelope." "Kennedy, hello," Penelope greeted politely with a nod. "Is there something you need?" Department manager Kennedy White, a graduate from a top university's management program, usually handled marketing and customer service, quite capable, but Penelope didn't interact with her much.
Kennedy looked at her commandingly, "I have a big client meeting this afternoon. I'm not very familiar with the design aspect, and I can't explain it clearly enough. So, you'll cwith me!" "Okay," Penelope agreed.
"Two o'clock, don't be late. Also, bring plenty of materials, this client is very important to us!" With that, Kennedy turned and walked away without waiting for a response. Colleagues who witnessed the exchange felt indignant on Penelope's behalf, "How can Kennedy talk to you with that attitude... Even Mr. Foster isn't that arrogant." "It's fine, she's probably just busy with work, and after all, she is my superior." Penelope didn't dwell on it and went to prepare the materials.
At two o'clock, Penelope appeared on tat the Davis Group's entrance.

Unexpectedly, Kennedy was there even earlier, clearly displeased, "You actually madewait?" "I'm not late, Kennedy." Unable to rebut, Kennedy glanced at the materials in her hand, "Is that all you brought? Is it enough? If the client isn't satisfied and we lose this deal, can you take responsibility?" "This is just the blueprints. Everything else is on my USB drive, I can show it on the computer." Kennedy, finding no fault, snorted and walked ahead.
Penelope followed.

On the way, Kennedy said, "We're going to meet the president of the Walker Group today Xi brought only you to give you a chance to shine, Penelope. You'd better appreciate it." "I understand, Kennedy."
"And don't get any ideas," Kennedy eyed her,"Mr. Walker is handsome) young, successful, and wealthy. He's kecis out of your league." "Oh." Penelope casually acknowledged, searching for information about the Walker Group on her phone.
The Walker Group and the Davis Group had been partners for years, with a friendship that traced back to a their grandfathers' generation. Luo's subsidiaries had many factories along the coast, one of which was a production line dedicated to high-level processing for Davis's jewelry.
Now, under the leadership of the new president, the Walker Group was thriving, becoming the second-largest company in LA.
Penelope looked at the photo on her phone screen- Brandon.
Just from the picture, he indeed looked great, the epitof a refined and scholarly gentleman.
He gave off a refreshing and gentle vibe.
Upon arriving at the Walker Group, Penelope was led by the secretary to meet Brandon.
