Women look at each other differently from how men look at them.
This was not the first time Penelope had seen Wendy, but the two did not interact much back then.
Every time Penelope saw Wendy, she would feel inferior and embarrassed.
Wendy’s pose and appearance were something ordinary girls did not have.
Penelope was aware that her features were above average, but she was like an ugly duckling in front of Wendy.
Thinking back to Jasper’s current identity, Penelope suddenly realized how well these two complimented each other. They were a match made in heaven.
The spot next to Jasper once belonged to her.
This thought had always caused a rush of regret to fill her heart. This time was no different, which made her feel extremely uncomfortable.
“Hello. We’ve met before, I’m Wendy.”
Wendy extended her hand generously and greeted Penelope.
A man’s current and ex-girlfriends were innate enemies.
Despite this, Wendy did not show any hostility and behaved very generous and kind.
This was also why Penelope felt inferior.
She reached her hand out and replied rigidly, “H-Hello…”
“Entertain her for a while, Jasp, I’m going to the bathroom.”
This act was a testament to both Wendy’s EQ and IQ. She knew that Jasper and Penelope would not be able to talk freely if she was there.
Jasper might not have anything to tell Penelope, but Wendy did not care about that. In fact, she was willing to give Jasper and Penelope space to talk.
She knew that there was no way any relationship would blossom between the other two. Jasper might seem kind, but deep inside, he was more arrogant than anyone else.
At this moment, Jasper was no longer the man he used to be, and there was no way he would forgive Penelope who had once looked down on himself and get back together with her.
Thus, Wendy generously gave the two the chance to talk.
“Alright, come back soon, ” Jasper told Wendy with a gentle smile.
Wendy beamed and left gleefully.
“She’s very pretty.” Penelope stared at Wendy’s slim and gentle figure. As a woman herself, she could not help but praise Wendy’s beauty and elegance.
“Come sit.”
Jasper had Penelope return to the private room and sit down.
The Penelope before him was dressed in a female suit and her long hair was tied up. She looked drastically different from before.
The woman now looked more like a successful businesswoman. Gone was the city woman who only knew of the small world around her.
“I originally thought introducing a job for you at the ICBS was the best possible decision at the time, but it looks now like I was wrong,” Jasper said.
Penelope replied frantically, “I was in the middle of doing the job when there… there was a small accident.”
Jasper waved his hand and replied, “There’s no need to explain anything to me. It’s enough that you’re doing well. We can’t be lovers again, and being friends doesn’t seem very realistic either. But that doesn’t mean I don’t wish you a comfortable life from here on out.”
This sentence seemed to have broken through Penelope’s last defenses, as her eyes suddenly turned red and she said, “Only after everything that happened did I realize that you were genuinely good to me back then.
“All my mom cares about is my brother, and all my brother cares about is himself and money. You were the only one that truly cared about me.”
“Why say all this now?”
