Penelope Dawson sat in the executive chair of the CEO's office.

Jack lingered nearby, glancing at her with uneasy hesitation.

Everyone knew that The Harrison Group owed its very existence to the Dawson family's money and connections-Penelope's influence was the real backbone behind their success.
