Chapter 455 Not in Line with Kelvin's Image as a Doting Husband Penelope glanced up.
She locked eyes with Kelvin.
But he was the first to look away, casually heading towards the CEO's private elevator.
"Mr. Davis was just staring at you. Why did he dodge when you looked at him?" Tina asked, puzzled. "Did Mr. Davis get embarrassed 'cause he got caught checking you out?" Monica snorted, "He's so shameless. Embarrassment? He doesn't even know the meaning of the word!" Penelope ignored him too.
Kelvin's attitude was all over the place.
One minute he was all over her, kissing her, and the next he was acting like she was a stranger.
Yet, he kept saying, "Penelope, you gotta trust me, always and no matter what." 'It was so confusing!' "Mrs. Davis, Ms. Perez," Ryan suddenly jogged over, looking a bit awkward, "Where are you all headed?" Penelope replied, "I'm treating the whole jewelry department to coffee. Since there are too many cups, a few of us are going to pick them up. Why? Is there a problem?" "Mrs. Davis, it's work hours right now." Ryan tried to be as tactful as possible.
If he repeated Kelvin's exact words, the consequences would be unimaginable! Whether he could leave here alive would be an unknown! Penelope sensed something was off. "Ryan, are you saying we shouldn't leave the office to buy coffee during work hours?" "Yeah," Ryan nodded, "You can order delivery, which complies with company policy." "Got it," Penelope responded, "Thanks for the heads-up." From the company's rules and regulations, what she was doing wasn't quite right.
She got it.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe couldn't just break the rules because she was Kelvin's wife.
But Monica wasn't as chill.
"Ryan, I don't like what you're saying," Monica said. "Going out to buy coffee isn't new at Davis Group. Every department does it. Why are you picking on us today?" Ryan quickly smiled, "Ms. Perez, I'm not picking on you. I'm just giving you a friendly reminder." "No need for your reminder," Monica said. "I reported this to Mr. Foster, and he approved it. If you think it's against the rules, go talk to Mr. Foster!" Timothy was the company's vice president, with a lot of power. Who could mess with him? Only Kelvin! But Ryan was Kelvin's assistant! Ryan could barely keep his smile. "Ms. Perez, please don't make it hard for me. I'm just the messenger." "What? Kelvin doesn't want us to buy... Hey, Penelope, why are you pulling me?" Monica said.
Penelope grabbed Monica with one hand and Tina with the other, nodding. "I understand, Ryan. Sorry for the trouble. We'll head back to the jewelry department and get to work." Ryan wiped the sweat off his forehead.
Penelope was so understanding and good tempered.
He couldn't understand why Kelvin sent him to do this! It didn't fit Kelvin's image as a doting husband! From Ryan's perspective, if Kelvin saw Penelope going to buy coffee for her colleagues, he would immediately send him to buy it and even get extra desserts for everyone.
And Kelvin would cover it all, not letting Penelope spend a single cent! That's the Kelvin Ryan knew! If you're loving the book, nel5sis where the adventure continues.

But today, Kelvin not only didn't act generously, he even called out Penelope and her colleagues for slacking off during work hours.
Weird, really weird! Sitting at her desk, Penelope picked up her phone to place an order.
"You have such a good temper." Monica crossed her arms. "If it were me, I'd walk out of the office right in front of Ryan and see what Kelvin would do about it!" "Forget it. I don't want to make things hard for Ryan," Penelope said.
"What's up with Kelvin?" Monica asked. "Why is he suddenly controlling you?" She couldn't figure it out. Neither could Tina.
But she didn't dare badmouth Kelvin, only silently complaining in her heart.
Penelope focused on placing the order. "What do you want to drink? With sugar and milk?" "Whatever! Who cares! I'm not in the mood!" Monica waved her hand and walked away.
Tina pouted. "Penelope." "What's up?" Penelope said.
"Are you okay?" Tina asked.
Penelope blinked. "Why wouldn't I be?" "Mr. Davis, he..." Tina said.
"Men are just unreasonable," Penelope said. "Kelvin has even more unreasonable moments that you don't know about. I'm used to it." Ever since she told him the truth about jumping into the sea, she felt Kelvin had changed.

Plus, Kelvin had a sudden high fever one night, coughing non-stop, and he still wasn't fully recovered, probably in a bad mood.
And Penelope thought about it. These past few days, Kelvin had been urging her to trust him.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTrust him about what? That he could wake Lucy up? And was his recent behavior because he was jealous? Because she trusted Brandon unconditionally but didn't have the strust in him, so he was trying to get her attention? Forget it.
She couldn't figure it out.
Penelope placed the order and waited for the delivery.
She had planned to go herself, bring it back early, and get sdesserts, but Kelvin's interference ruined her mood.
Penelope looked up and saw Tina still standing by her, thoughtfully stroking her chin. "What's up, Tina?" Penelope asked.
"I think Mr. Davis is acting strange," Tina said.
"He's always like that." Penelope didn't take it to heart. "I've seen stranger things.'
Tina tilted her head. "But just now, when I saw Mr. Davis, he was lookingat you with such intense eyes, really, the love was almost spilling out. How could he then send Ryan to criticize you?" "I told you..." Penelope said.
"No, no, no," Tina interrupted Penelope. "This isn't the Mr. Davis l know. Renelope, during the four years you were gone, I saw how much Mr. Davis missed you." He was clearly a good husband, a good man who was heartbroken and deeply missed his beloved.
"Get back to work." Penelope patted her. "Stop overthinking."
