Chapter 48 If You Want Children, Don't Save Your Mother

"Cough cough cough, I like her? Come on!" Timothy waved his hand awkwardly. "So fierce, like a tigress. What a joke!" Timothy added coughing slightly to cover up his feelings.

Just then, Monica pushed the door open. "Who's a tigress?"

Timothy immediately fell silent.

"Who were you talking about?" Monica asked curiously, her face full of curiosity. "You guys were gossiping without telling me, right?"

Penelope suppressed her laughter.

"No, no, no," Timothy waved his hand. "Our great designer thought her salary was too much, so she came to ask me about it."

"Oh, right. Penelope, if you got paid, you have to treat us!" Monica said.

Penelope nodded. "Okay, what do you want for lunch? I'll treat."

Timothy was her mentor in her career, .

"Orand, Monica is her best friend. Without their help and support, she wouldn't be able to pursue her talents and passions.

"Well, we better choose wisely then!" Monica chuckled. "I want to eat Japanese cuisine.! The kind that costs thousands of dollars per person.!" Penelope agreed with enthusiasm.

However, Monica was only saying this playfully. When Penelope went to pay the bill after finishing their Japanese meal, she was told that it had already been taken care of. That's what real friends do. Penelope felt warm inside.

After their lunch, they returned to the office, and Penelope went to the President's office.

"Assistant Ryan," she asked, "Is Mr. Davis available?"

"Mr. Davis is probably on his lunch break, Mrs. Davis. Would you like to go in?""

"In that case, I won't disturb him.""

Ryan said, "I'm just assuming, but Mr. Davis has never been a good sleeper. If you have something urgent, you can go in.""

After a moment of thought, Penelope quietly pushed the door open and walked in. Kelvin was sitting on the sofa, leaning back with his eyes closed, resting. Beside him, there was an aroma diffuser. Penelope tiptoed over, picked up a blanket, and covered him with it. When she looked up, she found herself falling into his deep gaze.

"You... you're awake," Penelope exclaimed, startled, quickly retracting her hand. Kelvin gave her a cold glance and threw the blanket aside.

"Penelope, you've hated me in your heart for a long time, so why bother pretending to take care of me?" Kevin asked.'

Penelope replied, "Don't think too much. I'm not concerned about you. I'm afraid your temper will worsen if you catch a cold, and then I'll suffer too."

"What are you doing here? Who let you in?"?' He frowned unhappily. "Ryan!"

"I let myself in!." Penelope quickly explained, afraid of implicating Ryan. Kelvin stared at her.
