Rebirth: We Split Ways.. novel Chapter 118

The corner of Penelope's mouth hooked up into an evil smile. "It seems that Director Howard doesn't quite welcome me!"

Despite saying this, her feet could not help but take a step in.

Director Howard did not expect to be caught by her on the spot. It was like someone grabbed him by the tail. The scene was a bit embarrassing.

However, he was also an old fox. After a moment, he recovered as usual.

"What are you saying? How could I not welcome you?" After saying that, he took the initiative to get up and make room for Penelope.

She obediently sat down, and when she raised her eyes, she met a pair of measuring eyes, and for a moment when their eyes crossed, invisible sparks intertwined.

"It’s such a coincidence. Mr. Archer is also here!" Penelope raised her eyebrows and took the lead to open her mouth. "It seems like I'm disturbing you."

"I can't say you're a disturbance. We just happen to be talking about you. I didn't think Ms. Reed had just gone out from Archer’s side, and she was already able to sit firmly on the president's throne when she was stationed in Diamoson. Director Howard is boasting about you to me, saying that you're more than capable of boosting thirty percent of your performance a year on the board of directors... Ms. Reed, this is true, isn't it?!"

"I was just mentioning it casually. I hope Ms. Reed doesn't mind." Director Howard had already discovered that Dominic did not seem to be as conflicting with Penelope as the legend had it.

He seemed to have made the wrong decision.

Penelope had listened to their conversation at the door just now, and Director Howard's speed of changing his face was faster than turning over a book.

She knew his little mind! She just did not expect Dominic to show up for the appointment.

Was he trying to join forces with Director Howard to mess with her?

Penelope's eyes sank, but her tone was unhurried, then she said, "That is true! I also made a bet with Director Howard."

With her words aligned, Penelope turned her gaze to him.

"Director Howard, since our bet is already something that has been put out in the open, it's important to win decently as well as lose honorably. The action of making small moves behind the scenes is really a bit disgraceful..."

How come it was different from the rumors?

...

"Penelope!" As soon as they left the Grand Royal Crest Hotel, they saw Levi Meyer's upright figure.

He walked to Penelope with a stride of his long legs. "How's it going? Is it handled?"

Penelope stopped her steps and looked at him. "Mr. Meyer, thanks for today!"

If Levi had not told her today, maybe Director Howard and Dominic would have teamed up to do something, but now that she had already berated Director Howard, she thought that she would be a bit more restrained afterward.

Levi was about to open his mouth, but his eyes landed on Dominic who walked slowly over. Instantly, the corner of his mouth hooked up, but his words were invariably pulling in the distance between them. "You're welcome. There's no need to be so courteous between us."
