Chapter 835 Thessaly is Brandon's First Move!
Until Brandon found him and offered him some cash to report Kelvin's daily schedule—who he met and what meetings he attended—without involving any trade secrets or illegal activities.
Leander agreed.
Why not take the money? He wasn't losing anything.
If he got caught, the worst that could happen was getting fired!
After a long silence, Brandon said, "It looks like Jessamine and Penelope had a falling out. Choosing a spokesperson isn't done lightly; it's tied to the brand's image and interests. It seems like Jessamine is no longer the face of Adoring Cupid."
"Mr. Walker, I don't know which actress Mr. Davis will choose next. I'll let you know if I hear anything."
Brandon smirked, "I have a pretty good guess who the next spokesperson will be."
"Guess?" Leander was surprised. "You can guess something like that?"
"Because I know Penelope well enough."
With Penelope's taste and aesthetic, Brandon thought, the next actress she would choose would be Thessaly.
She must be Penelope's first choice! She fits the Adoring Cupid brand image perfectly!
If he weren't mistaken, Penelope would soon meet with Thessaly.
Just wait and see!
"Go back," Brandon waved his hand. "If Thessaly comes to Davis Group tomorrow, let me know immediately."
"Yes, Mr. Walker," Leander replied.
Brandon turned and picked up the glass of red wine on the table, taking a slow sip.
Lately, he had been thinking about what he needed to do to win Penelope back and keep her by his side.
Forcing her was out of the question; it would only backfire and ruin their relationship!
So, he had to take it slow and find the right opportunity.
Look, now the opportunity had presented itself!
Thessaly was his first move!
A smile appeared on Brandon's face. "Penelope, I will make you understand that I am the one who is truly right for you, the one who loves you the most, and the one who can be your lifelong partner."
To win Penelope, Brandon's only option was to drive a wedge between her and Kelvin.
Once their relationship was broken, once her heart was dead, once the love was gone, then he would have a chance to step in.
Even if, in the end, Penelope chose to be alone rather than with Kelvin, it would be better than Kelvin having her!
If Brandon couldn't have her, then Kelvin shouldn't either!
Although Brandon and Penelope were still in contact now, their relationship was far from what it used to be.
She had her career and her family, leaving little time for him.
He couldn't just call or meet her whenever he wanted, like before.
This wasn't what Brandon wanted to see.
Either he would have her, or Kelvin wouldn't!
Brandon's smile grew deeper.
Soon, there would be a good show...
The next day, Davis Group.
A black business car stopped at the side entrance. The door opened, and a woman with long hair, wrapped up tightly, got out and quickly walked inside. She took the private elevator straight to the top floor, to the CEO's office.
"Ms. Winterbourne," Ryan was already waiting, "this way, please."
Thessaly nodded, "Hello."
She took off her hat, mask, and sunglasses, revealing a delicate, small face with perfectly proportioned features. She looked even more beautiful and lively in person than on TV.
Most importantly, it was clear that Thessaly wasn't wearing any makeup—no eyeliner, mascara, or lipstick.
She was bare-faced!
Even without makeup, she looked this good. With makeup, she would be stunning!
Ryan was momentarily dazed.
A true star indeed.
Compared to her, Jessamine from yesterday seemed so petty!
"Mr. Davis, Mrs. Davis," Ryan knocked on the door, "Ms. Winterbourne is here."
"Come in."
Before entering, Thessaly was a bit surprised, "Mrs. Davis is here too?"
"Yes, Ms. Winterbourne, please."
Thessaly walked in, her gaze first landing on Penelope. She smiled and greeted, "Hello, Mrs. Davis."
Then she looked at Kelvin, "Mr. Davis, it's a pleasure to meet you."
She walked over to the sofa and sat down naturally and gracefully.
She didn't have any of the airs or temper of a big star, acting casually as if she were there for a coffee chat.
From the moment Thessaly walked in, Penelope had been observing her.
The more she looked, the more delighted she felt!
Thessaly, even without makeup, was a beauty with a great aura and presence, tall and obviously someone who worked out regularly, slim but not skinny.
Unlike Jessamine, who looked like she was thin from dieting!
"Hello, Ms. Winterbourne," Penelope said, "Call me Penelope. There is no need to be formal."
"Alright, Penelope, then you can call me Thessaly."
Penelope was curious, "Why did you greet me first when you came in?"
This was the first time she had encountered such a situation.
Usually, people greeted Kelvin first before noticing her.
Thessaly smiled, "I often read gossip online about you and Mr. Davis's love story, so I know a bit about you. You were the chief designer for Adoring Cupid and are Mr. Davis's wife. In this spokesperson selection, I think your opinion matters more."
"So I took the liberty of greeting you first. As for Mr. Davis, he dotes on his wife so much, he wouldn't mind such details. He might even be happy that I value you."
"Mr. Davis, am I right?"
Her words, with a hint of humor, lightened the atmosphere and brought her closer to them.
Kelvin looked at Thessaly with clear admiration, "Yes. Whether you get the Adoring Cupid spokesperson role is up to Penelope. You should definitely try to win her over."
He was surprised and pleased.
He hadn't expected Thessaly to be not just a pretty face, but also very smart.
She had a high emotional intelligence!
Being able to chat so comfortably and pleasantly with people she was meeting for the first time wasn't something just anyone could do.
Who wouldn't like such a beautiful and intelligent woman?
Penelope felt like she had found a treasure!
"Thessaly, I chose you after careful consideration," Penelope said. "Meeting you today, I think I made the right choice!"
Thessaly smiled, "Thank you for your favor. I often buy Adoring Cupid jewelry myself. I have the entire 'Radiant Rebirth' collection."
"You really like Radiant Rebirth?"
"Yes, it's beautiful and versatile."
Penelope's eyes sparkled, "What do you think of Adoring Cupid? Feel free to share."
"I've been following this brand for a long time, even longer than I've been following the gossip about you and Mr. Davis," Thessaly replied.
