Inside the luxurious suite with European-style architecture, Penelope had already woken up. The surrounding furniture and decorations were no different from when she left a few years ago.
When she turned her head, she saw a bowl of hot soup still placed on the bedside. Several beautiful women's clothes were neatly arranged on the bed for her to choose from.
Her nose inexplicably tingled.
This was the treatment she had never experienced in Seattle.
"After the plane incident, Grandpa was very anxious. He tried to call you but couldn't get through. He suffered a sudden heart attack and is now lying in bed."
Following stable footsteps, a tall man in black appeared in her bedroom, exuding a certain boldness and presence.
This was Penelope's eldest brother, Vincent Reed, the current head of the Reed family, always keeping his emotions under control.
Hearing about Grandpa's incident, Penelope was immediately distressed and nearly in tears. She got out of bed, "Vincent! Grandpa..."
"He's fine, just resting in bed. But you..."
Vincent grabbed her hand, blocking her path as she tried to leave. "Look at yourself now. Do you have the face to see him? Do you remember your promise back then?"
At the mention of this, Penelope suddenly stopped in her tracks.
Of course, she hadn't forgotten.
She promised Grandpa that if, in the end, she couldn't make Dominic fall in love with her, or even divorce him, she would stay in the Reed family forever and assist in the family business.
She would even obey the family's arrangements, including marrying into the Harris family, one of the four major families, to expand the Reed family's business empire.
Vincent suddenly mentioned this, could it be that he is going to arrange her second marriage?
She heard that the young master from the Harris family is a notorious playboy.
"But I just got divorced, I don't have any plans to remarry at the moment, Vincent..." she pleaded almost desperately.
At this, Vincent softened his tone, and his voice wasn't as harsh as before.
Originally, these words were meant to scare her.
"You are a daughter of the Reed family. We Reed family have never relied on selling our daughters for glory. But you must adjust your state. Until Grandpa completely recovers, stay by my side and be my right-hand man."
The implication was to let her enter the Diamoson Corp., the Reed family's business in Dubai.
This was the intention behind sending her to the Ramsdale Business School back then.
But who would have expected an unforeseen incident to occur?
"I'm doing this to show that a daughter of the Reed family can't be bullied by anyone! This can’t ever happen again! You know what to do next"
After Vincent said these words, he knew Bridget, his secretary had figured it out. He then patted Penelope’s shoulder lightly and left with his secretary.
As they left, he instructed, "In the next few days, familiarize yourself with the various industrial parks of the Diamoson Corp. and all the affairs of the president and executive assistant."
"I understand, President."
Their voices gradually faded away, and the spacious bedroom became quiet again.
President and Executive Assistant...
This position was second only to the president.
Penelope pinched her palm hard. This time, she couldn't let down Vincent.
"Surprise!"
On the second day of moving into the top-floor office of the Diamoson Corp., a carefree figure barged in.
