Chapter 489 Cback with "Radiant Rebirth" In the future, Lucy would be dragging her suitcase, heading off to college out of state, way far from her.
Far down the road, Lucy would be rocking a wedding dress, tying the knot, and starting a new fam...
Penelope sighed, "Forget it, it's nothing, I'm just being overly sentimental." She turned and strolled towards the car.
With too much stuff piling up in her head, Penelope felt down.
But it was cool; she was tough and would bounce back soon! She still had to hustle to work.
During the day, she hit up Davis Group, doing her thing as a designer.
At night, she headed back to King Manor, playing nanny to Lucy.
Busy, but super fulfilling.
But when Penelope showed up in the jewelry department with her aged makeup on...
"Ah!" Tina screamed first, "Penelope, what happened to you!" "Ah!" Monica, who dashed out of the office hearing the commotion, also screamed, "Penelope, what are you doing? Playing a role?" Everyone turned to stare at Penelope.
She stayed chill, "You all recognizedright away." Guess she could only fool a three-year-old like Lucy.
It was just work hours, and Timothy also strolled in from outside.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe only saw Penelope's back and didn't pay much attention, thinking she was a cleaning lady.
"What's going on?" Timothy asked, "Why is everyone staring at me?" Penelope turned around, "Mr. Foster, you're being narcissistic; they're looking at me." "Whoa!" Timothy took two steps back in shock, "Penelope, what happened to you!" fintruskerkrnace, Him that?" Timothy looked genuinely freaked out, "Kelvin turned gray overnight because of your death news back then. What happened that made you age twenty years overnight now?" "It's not ugly; in twenty years, you'll look like this," Timothy said. "It's just too sudden, a bit hard to take in." Penelope pouted.
Such familiar friends were shocked and thought she was ugly.
She wondered how Kelvin managed to kiss her this morning.
He had unique preferences.
And he wouldn't admit it! Indeed, men always thought that the unattainable was the best! "It's okay; you'll get used to it after a while," Penelope said. "I'll probably be coming to work like this for the next few days, so don't be surprised. Sorry if this is an eyesore." Timothy coughed.
Although he was curious, there were too many people, and he was too embarrassed to ask directly.
Penelope wouldn't turn into this for no reason! "Let's have a meeting," Timothy said, "It's the change of seasons, and it's tfor our 'Adoring Cupid' new collection to drop. Penelope, how's your design draft coming along?" "Finished," Penelope said.
"So fast?" Timothy was a bit surprised, "There's still half a month until the submission deadline!" Penelope smiled, "I had a burst of inspiration last night, so I finished it." "As expected of my Penelope!" Tina said enviously, "I haven't even got a clue yet; I'm so stressed, I'm going to lose all my hair!" Penelope just smiled; her pain couldn't be shared with others.
The inspiration was sparked by Kelvin and Madison hooking up.
She'd rather not have it.
And she hoped that designers like Tina would never have such inspiration! Art always comes from pain.

On the big screen, Penelope's electronic drafts were up for everyone to see.
Penelope stood by the main seat, confidently and smoothly introducing her latest design. "This jewelry series is inspired by peonies-luxurious and elegant but still trendy. It ditches the tacky vibe and leans more towards a youthful feel. I shaped the peony petals inward, making them more delicate and visually appealing." People always shine in their areas of expertise.
Everyone listened quietly to Penelope's pitch, and she was totally in the zone.
When Kelvin walked in, she didn't even notice.
The employee next to her was startled and quickly stood up, "Mr. Davis..." "Shh." He raised his index finger, pulled out a chair, and sat at the end of the conference table, resting his chin on his hand. He watched her every move with a smile in his eyes.
His Penelope.
Only at times like this could he appreciate her calm and composed side.
Otherwise, in front of him, she was always bristling with thorns.
Even though Penelope looked much older now, in Kelvin's eyes, she was still beautiful and charming.
Loving someone isn't about looking at them with your eyes.
But with your heart! Ten minutes later, Penelope bowed, "That's all for my design concept. Thanks for listening." The meeting room erupted in applause.
Kelvin also clapped for her.
The lights con, and Penelope walked back to her seat, looking up to meet Kelvin's gaze.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe was stunned for a moment.
Why was he here? When did he come? "Not bad," Kelvin stood up, "This design has the potential to becthe latest hit for 'Adoring Cupid'."

Penelope accepted it graciously, "Thank you, Mr. Davis, for your appreciation." It was a normal exchange, but everyone sensed something was off.
Kelvin and Penelope were husband and wife! Why were they so distant? Like strangers! So polite! But no one dared to speak up; the originally relaxed meeting atmosphere had now becsuper tense! Tina and Monica exchanged glances.
"Why is he here?" Monica muttered, "Is he that idle?" Tina said nothing, just looked at Penelope.
Penelope had already returned to her seat.
"I'm just passing by; thought I'd take a look," Kelvin said. "You guys continue the meeting; pretend I'm not here." With his status, who would dare ignore him?
"Since you're here, Mr. Davis, say a few words," Timothy was practically stirring the pot, "You haven't been as attentive to the jewelry department lately." "I trust you to handle it," Kelvin said.
"No, no, this is your Davis Group," Timothy said.
Kelvin leaned back in his chair leisurely, tapping his fingers on the table.
"Let's go with Penelope's design, have the marketing looked onepartment start pre-launch promotions, Kelvin looked at the design draft, "Make it the main product of the season." He paused, "Penelope, what ndo you plan to give this series?" "Radiant Rebirth," Penelope said.
"Good," Kelvin nodded, "This can be considered your first design work after four years.
Don't worry, I'll promote it heavily for you." Penelope smiled, "It's an honor. Thanks in advance, Mr. Davis."
