***** Although it was a mere coincidence for Penelope to request Williams’ Uber, and her mind hadn't even been there when she was arranging for the Uber, Williams immediately grasped that it was another customer who required his help, as soon as he arrived and saw her expression. He didn't need to inquire to understand that she was likely enduring torment, with the way she was staring at the man and elderly woman before her, so Williams felt that it was only fitting for him to do his part, as everything else would soon fall into place.So, standing before Penelope now, Williams smiled apologetically and then offered her a handkerchief to wipe her face. This past week had already taught Williams that people could be quite emotional when they encounter something their minds couldn't handle. "Thank you..." Although Penelope didn't know Williams, she still gratefully accepted the handkerchief and wiped her face clean. Meanwhile, the entire place remained utterly silent as everybody
*****As soon as Penelope heard Williams’ inquiry, she closed her eyes briefly and then let out a deep sigh, uncertain about how to interpret what had transpired that day. A significant portion of her felt relieved that she had finally been freed from the firm grasp that had held her for years, while another substantial part of her felt that she had let down the woman who had fed and clothed her since her mother had died and no one showed up.With all these thoughts weighing on her mind, Penelope suddenly couldn't resist the urge to confide in someone. However, a puzzled expression abruptly crossed her face the next moment, and then she smiled with embarrassment."Sir, I haven't expressed my gratitude to you for coming to my rescue earlier..."Her voice was hushed and tinged with shame as she realized that she had actually forgotten to thank Williams when if not for him, she would have been severely injured today."I did nothing,"Williams, who was in a rush right now but didn't show
*****To be honest, Williams’ astonishment was enormous when he discovered that Penelope was, in fact, a virgin.The amazement didn't come little at all.Although he had heard it twice himself before confirming it himself, he hadn't pondered it during the initial encounter, as it had merely sounded like a curse. During the second revelation, he had simply assumed that Penelope was not being truthful.Five years!Being in a relationship for five years and maintaining her virginity, considering her remarkable beauty.While Williams had never been a womanizer, he had had his fair share of female companions. Thus, he believed it was commonplace for most women not to be virgins. However, there was a genuine exception in Penelope.It's not that Williams held any bias against non-virgins. Laura was a prime example. It's just that he had never believed a woman as mature and beautiful as Penelope could still be a virgin. Well, all was for the best.Perhaps, after those hours of enjoyment, Will
***** Williams was profoundly surprised that the conversation with Laura had gone smoothly. Although he hadn't anticipated that Laura would reject the idea of him being involved with another woman, he hadn't imagined that she would readily embrace the notion without any trace of sadness or unwillingness whatsoever. Williams had no inkling that Laura had similarly foreseen this. In reality, she had expected this much, that Williams would have more than one woman than Penelope had anticipated, as she knew that someone as affluent, attractive, and kind as Williams would have many women admiring him, and that they would readily give themselves to him freely just as she had given herself to him. With that discussed, Williams felt a weight lifting from his chest, and he then shared with Laura his other reason for coming, that Penelope would be joining the restaurant kitchen staff. Although Laura likewise immediately agreed to this, knowing that Williams, as the owner of the restaurant
*****The following day, Williams dropped Penelope at the restaurant and then left to find his own customers.He had assumed Laura would have resumed work so that he could introduce the two ladies to each other, but since she hadn't gotten to work that day, Williams hoped in his mind that the meeting of the two ladies would go well.As on the previous day, Williams acquired most of his customers in no time.However, just as he was waiting for the last customer to order his cab while taking a tour around the city like he usually does, he saw someone he had never expected to see again.This person was the president of the conglomerate he had worked for years as a security guard before being dismissed by his supervisor.As soon as Williams spotted this elegant woman whose beauty was above any lady he had ever seen, appearing extremely frustrated at the side of the road while pacing around her exquisite Audi car, he contemplated driving away. But recalling how th
***** For nearly ten minutes, the interior of the vehicle remained profoundly quiet, except for the roar emanating from the car, which was muffled by the raised windows. Although Williams had no clue about Grace's destination, he simply continued to drive. It wasn't that Williams was inattentive; instead, he just didn't know how to initiate a conversation with his former boss, who was exuding an intense chill at the moment. The chill was so overpowering that Williams had to switch off the air conditioner. Nevertheless, he still shivered slightly, prompting him to activate the heater. Only after ten minutes did he finally hear the first word from his former boss since she entered the car, and her voice was, as expected, devoid of emotion. "Why did you do that?" While her question was straightforward, Williams had no idea how to respond. Truthfully, he had only attempted to retaliate against the flamboyantly dressed man for looking down on him earlier, but he knew he had inadver
***** Not long after Greg Dunnam drove away earlier, he received a message containing all of Williams’ profile, but he hesitated to believe the information presented as he had believed Williams to be someone with a powerful background, for daring to go against him. With that, he swiftly called his private investigator. “You sure the details here are accurate?” His voice carried an eerie tone, hinting at his intense determination, which unsettled the person Greg had contacted, even over the phone. However, the individual who was confident in their work reassured Greg that they had provided all the information that could be found about Williams, leading Greg to end the call. As soon as he disconnected, Greg's eyes glinted with a chilling resolve, casting a somber atmosphere around him. "How dare an expelled bastard of a deceased Patriarch from such a lesser family to have a design for someone who holds the key to my ambitions?" He growled darkly, but his voice abruptly co
***** Presently, remorse was consuming Williams' marrow, flesh, and spirit swiftly with each passing moment. It was as if he were the cause of how Penelope was injured severely to the point of her losing consciousness. Although he understood that he wasn't to be blamed, he just wouldn't cease wallowing in remorse. Penelope's call had come after he had dropped Grace off earlier, and he didn't waste another moment before rushing here. It was as if he had an intuition that something would happen. He had already sensed this immediately after Penelope informed him of going to her apartment the previous night, but he just couldn't comprehend it. This was also one of the reasons Williams was brimming with regret, that he had told Penelope that she could call him after reaching her destination. The only gratitude Williams felt was that nothing worse had occurred before he got there. A day would not have passed from then on that he would feel intense regret. Yes, he was the one who r
