From Hatred to Passionate Love Amelia Hart

Chapter 162 Only I Can Call You Penelope

Penelope could defy norms because she was Kelvin's favorite.

How could they be the same?

Monica had such a temper; she could stir up serious trouble any day, and even he wouldn't be able to protect her.

"Staff involved in the creation and promotion of the wedding rings will receive double overtime pay," Kelvin announced, "as compensation."

"Mr. Davis, you are such an enigma. One moment you're planning a romantic gesture for Mrs. Davis that the whole town would envy, the next you're pausing and withdrawing. What's the matter, Mr. Davis? Got a new flame?" Monica gibed. Timothy honestly wanted to cover Monica's mouth.

The conference room fell silent.

Kelvin coolly replied, "No new flame, always the ex-lover." It had started with Penelope, it was still her now, and it would be her in the future. Unchanging.

"Ha ha ha..." Timothy quickly played along to the mood. "Mr. Davis is truly a rare gem, the epitome of a devoted and thoughtful husband. It's like trying to find a needle in a haystack."

Monica's sleeve was nearly torn to shreds by Timothy's pulling. To save her clothing, she quieted down.

But unexpectedly, a clear and loud "tsk" echoed in everyone's ears in the meeting room. All eyes turned to the source. It was Penelope.

"Tsk," Penelope sounded again, "The one you find with a lantern may just be a ghost."

Monica wanted to stand and give Penelope a round of applause and a standing ovation!

Penelope smiled, "Good men are like ghosts. No one's ever seen one, but many believe they exist."

Kelvin was lightly tapping his fingertips on the table, producing a steady tap-tap-tap that exuded an oppressive atmosphere.

Just when everyone thought Kelvin was about to explode in anger, they heard him say, "You have a point."

Even Timothy couldn't help but cough, "Cough, cough, cough!"

"Crude, but not without sense. Penelope certainly has a way with words," Kelvin said. "Let's get on with the meeting."

Penelope kept her head down, looking very composed.

A male colleague beside her couldn't help but say, "You truly dare to speak your mind."
