Chapter 969 There Are Many Rich Men, But How Many Top Beauties Are There
She gently patted his back.
In her memory, she had rarely seen Kelvin cough so hard.
After a while, Kelvin finally caught his breath.
He found it a bit strange himself.
"I really gotta quit," Kelvin said slowly, sipping water. "Can't ignore what my girl says."
"You should take some time to go to the hospital for a check-up, maybe get a lung CT. As a long-time smoker, who knows what your lungs look like now? Regular check-ups are a must."
"Alright. I'll go this weekend."
Penelope nodded, casually opened his drawer, and took out the cigarettes. "Confiscated."
She shook them a bit and slipped them into her pocket.
Kelvin smirked.
No one could control him, and he had always done whatever he pleased. But this feeling of being cared for... it was quite nice.
Not a bad experience!
Penelope returned to the jewelry department, and as soon as she sat down, Monica called her over.
"Come quick, I'm drowning here," Monica said. "I've already gone through these once, but you need to take a closer look."
In the director's office, Monica sat Penelope down and pointed at the computer. "The photos for Thessaly's poster are out. We need to pick five for retouching and then use them for promotion in major malls."
"How many are there in total?"
"Over twenty."
Penelope turned her head in surprise. "Monica, you already went through them and still have over twenty? Are you sure you made a selection?"
"I'm absolutely sure!" Monica replied. "Every single one is stunning and expressive. I couldn't choose, I wanted to keep them all! So... this tough task is yours now!"
Choosing five out of twenty.
It might be a bit hard to decide, but surely not impossible.
Penelope didn't believe it was that difficult!
Five minutes later.
"Monica, I can't choose either," Penelope said, frustrated, running her hands through her hair. "How is every single one flawless and perfect?"
Monica sat back leisurely, arms crossed. "What did I say? Do you believe me now?"
"I believe, I believe!"
"It shows you have a good eye. The spokesperson you personally selected is dazzling and perfect. So," Monica smiled slightly, "you decide which ones to keep. Don't ask me, I have no idea!"
Penelope ran her hands through her hair again.
Monica looked relaxed, having finally passed on the difficult task.
She could breathe easily now!
Plus, she had just started a new romance, her face glowing with happiness, looking every bit the contented woman. Her mood and demeanor were softer and more charming than before, so she was in great shape, with smooth, glowing skin and bright eyes.
"Thessaly is truly beautiful, with a beauty that radiates from within," Monica praised. "With her features, her aura, her facial structure, she'll still be stunning twenty years from now. Such a great beauty, with both looks and charisma, I wonder what kind of man is lucky enough to have her."
Penelope asked, "Who do you think is worthy of her?"
"If we're talking about the entertainment industry..." Monica tilted her head, thinking. "Those her age might not be able to handle her. Those older are already married. And she probably wouldn't be interested in someone younger."
"Penelope, why does a beautiful woman need a man inevitably? Can't she just flourish on her own? Why should some guy get to snag a top-tier beauty?"
"The thought of Thessaly falling for some dude makes my heart ache... If it's a good match, I can reluctantly accept it. But if she picks someone who's not handsome or tall, just with a good personality, I'd be even more upset!"
Penelope kept sorting through the photos, eyes glued to the computer, and casually asked, "What about Brandon? Do you think he matches Thessaly?"
Monica nearly spat out her water.
"Who did you say?" She couldn't believe her ears. "Brandon and Thessaly?"
Penelope kept her eyes on the screen and nodded. "Yeah."
"Are you kidding?"
"You and Timothy, who've been bickering for years, ended up together. Why can't Brandon and Thessaly?"
Monica's eyes widened. "Brandon likes you, always has!"
"I have two kids," Penelope said, glancing at her. "Forgot to tell you, Thessaly is about to start filming a movie Brandon's investing in, playing the lead role. They see each other quite often."
Monica was surprised again. "Really?! How come I haven't seen any news?"
"There'll be a press release on the first day of filming."
Monica suddenly fell silent.
A deep, profound silence.
Only the sound of Penelope clicking the mouse could be heard, going back and forth over the twenty photos until they were almost worn out!
Finally, Monica snapped out of it. "If those two get together... it wouldn't be bad. At least Kelvin can rest easy, with one less potential rival. Plus, Brandon is a good guy with a gentle personality, worthy of a top-tier beauty like Thessaly."
Penelope chuckled. "Everyone else thinks if Thessaly and Brandon get together, it's a step up for her, a star marrying into a wealthy family. But to you, it's Brandon barely being worthy of Thessaly."
"Exactly," Monica huffed. "There are plenty of rich men, but how many top-tier beauties are there? Just a few in the whole entertainment industry! Do you really think Thessaly is reaching up?"
Penelope replied, "No, Thessaly is more than enough for anyone! Brandon is just smart enough to seize the opportunity to get close to her under the guise of making a movie!"
"Exactly."
"I'll introduce you to Thessaly sometime," Penelope said. "She's even more beautiful in person!"
Just then, the office door swung open.
Timothy walked in.
"Who's beautiful?" he caught the tail end of the conversation. "Who are you talking about?"
Monica answered, "Thessaly, the spokesperson for Adoring Cupid."
"She is indeed beautiful," Timothy said, then quickly added, "but to me, you're the most beautiful."
Monica blushed.
There were others around, and he was so unabashed. It was a bit embarrassing.
Besides, how could she compare to Thessaly?
Thessaly was a movie star!
She was well aware of her own limits!
Penelope peeked out from behind the computer. "Timothy, that's a bit much."
"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, you fail to comprehend... Kelvin would understand."
With that, he shut down any chance for Penelope to tease him further!
Penelope pouted. Indeed, if she asked Kelvin right now who was more beautiful, her or Thessaly, his answer would definitely be her.
Timothy walked over to Monica, noticing the water stain at the corner of her mouth and the water spilled on her clothes.
