From Hatred to Passionate Love Amelia Hart

Chapter 85 A Familiar Feeling He was even more charismatic in person than in his photos, sitting in the sunlight with a signing pen in hand, the cufflinks at his sleeves catching the light.

His allure was gentle yet untouchable.

"Mr. Walker, representatives from the Davis Jewelry Department are here," the secretary reminded.

He looked up, "Please, have a seat." Kennedy put on a charming smile, "Mr. Walker, it's such an honor to finally meet you. It hasn't been easy to get an appointment." That voice...

Penelope couldn't help but cringe internally.

She coughed twice, trying to signal Kennedy subtly.

But Kennedy didn't pay her any mind and stepped forward to shake hands with Brandon.

Brandon frowned slightly but still shook her hand out of politeness.

Kennedy held on a little too long, "Mr. Walker, we nearly finalized everything last time. Today, I've brought the contract signed by Mr. Davis; we just need your signature to confirm." Penelope watched... feeling secondhand embarrassment.

It was Kennedy who was so eager to climb the social ladder, and she had the nerve to warn Penelope earlier. "Hmm," Brandon subtly withdrew his hand.

Penelope couldn't stand it any longer and took out the documents, "Mr. Walker, the contract is here for your review." Brandon gave Penelope an appreciative glance, nodded, and turned back to his seat. Kennedy glared at Penelope and whispered, "Did I ask for your help?" "Kennedy, you're representing the image of Davis," Penelope replied. "Please restrain yourself, so as not to leave a bad impression on Mr. Walker." "I'm your superior; it's not your place to tellwhat to do!"" Penelope just shrugged.

After Brandon signed the contract, he looked up at Penelope, "Are you new here? It's my first tseeing you." "Yes, I've been with Davis for a month." "To work at Davis means you're talented," said Brandon. "Did you design this season's Adoring Cupid collection?" Penelope nodded, "Yes, I'm the lead designer for Adoring Cupid, Penelope." "Penelope," Brandon savored the nand smiled slightly,"Nice name, it has a good ring to it." Everyone likes compliments, and Penelope smiled, "Thank you, Mr. Walker. I have the designs here; you can take a look now, and I'm here to answer any questions you might have." "Good." Kennedy, watching this exchange, could barely contain her jealousy.

She had met Mr. Walker several times, always initiating the conversation, but he never seemed to notice her. Penelope, on her first visit, seemed to hit it off with Mr. Walker... what a bitch! No wonder even Mr. Davis was rumored to be involved with Penelope! As Penelope walked towards Brandon, Kennedy, feigning nonchalance, subtly stuck out her foot...

Penelope, not noticing, stumbled over something and lost her balance, her body uncontrollably falling forward, papers flying from her hands.

"Ah-" She cried out, watching the ground rush up to meet her.

This was it; she was going to fall.

And with a child in her belly, a fall was the last thing she needed.

It could cause a miscarriage! She had fought so hard to protect this child, enduring more than most could imagine, only for it to be jeopardized by a fall? Despair filled her heart.

Was this really how it was meant to be? Just as she was about to hit the ground, a pair of hands reached out in time, circling her waist, strong and steady, lifting her up.

"Be careful." An unfamiliar embrace, an unfamiliar voice.

Penelope looked up to see Brandon before her.

"Are you alright?" Brandon asked.

Penelope shook her head, "Thank you... Thank you, Mr. Walker!" If not for Brandon, the fall would have surely harmed the baby.

"Oh my, Penelope, are you okay?" Kennedy approached with feigned concern. "You should be more careful when walking. No need to throw yourself at Mr. Walker in excitement!" Brandon spoke up, "Kennedy, mind your language." His demeanor was gentle, but as the company president, he still commanded authority. Kennedy fell silent. Penelope crouched down to gather the scattered documents, "Mr. Walker, let's continue with our work." She had a hunch about her sudden fall.

The office was clear of obstacles; it had to be Kennedy who had tripped her! But without evidence, and in Walker's territory, Penelope chose not to make a scene for now.

After finishing up in the afternoon and preparing to leave, Brandon stopped her,"Wait a moment." "Mr. Walker, about our designs..." "I'm very satisfied, no questions," Brandon said, pulling out a business card and handing it to her personally. "I find you quite likable. There's something familiar about you, and I'd like to get to know you." Penelope accepted the card, "I also admire your capabilities, Mr. Walker. It's an honor to work with you." "Meeting someone is fate. If you ever need help with anything, feel free to contact me." "Thank you, Mr. Walker." Penelope wasn't sure what Brandon meant.

Was he genuinely interested, or did he have ulterior motives? What was it about her that could possibly interest Brandon?

Perhaps it was simply a matter of liking.

Brandon watched Penelope's retreating figure, slightly dazed.

"Mr. Walker," his assistant inquired, "It's the first tI've seen you take such an interest in a girl." "I just feel... she's very familiar." "Have you met her before, Mr. Walker?" Brandon shook his head, "No, never. But this sense of familiarity is very strong." The assistant was puzzled.

"In the future, if Penelope comes to the company, bring her directly to me. Make sure she's well received. If she needs help, accommodate her." "Yes, Mr. Walker."

Back at Davis, Kennedy began to mock, "I had no idea you were son capable. You've hooked Mr. Walker on the first meeting and even got his business card. You must be thrilled." If she had known, she never would have brought Penelope along! Originally, Kennedy wanted to boss Penelope around, but instead, Penelope had made a connection with Mr. Walker! The thought made her blood boil.

"Yes, I am capable, unlike someone without the ability," Penelope stood at the entrance of Davis, staring straight at her, "Don't think I don't know how I ended up on the ground!" "It was your own fault!" "I didn't want to argue with you, Kennedy. But if we must, I can ask Mr. Walker to review the security footage, and everything will becclear!" Kennedy's face turned pale.

Penelope added, "If you continue to be petty, I won't be polite anymore." She left Kennedy behind and strode into the company.

She wasn't someone to be trifled with.

And Kennedy? Penelope didn't care about her in the slightest!
