Chapter 307 We Need to Find a Dad Penelope dropped Lucy and Sam off at the kindergarten entrance. She kissed Lucy and patted Sam on the head. "Behave yourselves, okay?" Lucy asked, "Mom, will you pick us up after school?" Before she could answer, Sam waved his hand. "Go ahead, Lucy and I will be good. If you have time, cpick us up. If not, it's fine! Bye-bye!" Her phone rang again; Ben was urging her.
Penelope nodded. "Alright, bye!" She hurried onto the bus.
Lucy watched Penelope leave reluctantly, then turned to go into the kindergarten.
Sam rubbed his chin. "Lucy, do you think Mom's too tired?" "Mom takes care of us; of course, she's tired." "Should we find someone to help her out?" Lucy looked puzzled. "Isn't Ruby enough?" "Last night she said men can be relied on," Sam replied. "So, Lucy, we need to find ourselves a dad." Lucy got it. "Find a dad?" "Yeah, we can't rely on Mommy," Sam sighed. "She just stays hdrawing all day. Even if a handsguy walks by, she doesn't even look!" His simple-minded mom.

No choice, it was up to him and Lucy! Lucy thought for a moment. "Yeah, if we had a dad, Mom would be much more relaxed." "So, let's start the plan!" "What plan?" "The Find-a-Dad Operation!" Sam snapped his fingers. "We'll work together and set the standards!" Lucy nodded. "Okay!" They walked into the kindergarten together, shoulder to shoulder, starting to discuss- "At least over six feet tall." "And he should have abs." "Right, he must be strong enough to carry both of us at the stime." "He should be able to make money too, otherwise how will he support Mom?" "He can't look too bad, after all, Mom is so beautiful." Penelope had no idea her two mischievous kids were secretly plotting something.
She had just arrived at Ben's office and was about to knock when the door suddenly opened from the inside. "My star designer, I've been eagerly waiting for you," Ben said warmly, "Please cin." Penelope was very reserved. "Mr. Wright, I'm sorry to keep you waiting." "Not at all, waiting for a talent like you is worth it." Planning your weekend reading?

"I should have submitted this draft last week," Penelope said, "But my little daughter caught a cold, so it delayed me. Luckily, it didn't cause you any trouble." Ben waved his hand. "No problem." Penelope was very grateful to Ben.
He not only hired her but also helped her in every way, never making things difficult.
So, Penelope always put her heart into drawing designs. Even when others offered her high prices to join their companies, she refused.
Ben had been kind to her, and she wanted to repay that kindness.
"Mr. Wright, why did you insist on seeing me?" Ben poured her a glass of water, smiling. "Good news." Penelope looked at him curiously.
"I gave a few of your designs to my cousin," Ben said, "He used them to create jewelry and started a brand called 'Silk Haven."" "My cousin went for a bulk cheap strategy, targeting low-incgroups. Plus, your designs fit young people's tastes, so 'Silk Haven's' sales have been rising, catching the attention of a big corporation!" Penelope asked, "And then? What's the nof that big corporation?" "It's... I forgot it," Mr. Wright patted his thigh. "I'll tell you later. Letfinish first." "'Silk Haven' is a new brand, so it can't compete with big corporations. I didn't expect your designs to becso popular." "Molly, the situation now is that the big corporation's HR is looking for you everywhere. They want to hire you with a high salary!" Penelope was stunned.
"Mr. Wright, you calledhere just to tellthis?" "Yes, what do you think?"
Penelope smiled. "Mr. Wright, I'm not ambitious. I'm content with doing my job well I just hope my salary can support my family, and I'm satisfied. Don't worry and I won't leave." She had finally left LA and settled in this small city for a peaceful life; she wouldn't leave again.

Wealth and career were not her life's priorities.
Ben was stunned for a few seconds, then asked in disbelief, "You don't want to go?" "Right." Penelope said, "The commission you've givenover the years has been very generous." Ben was a kind person.
His jewelry store's sales had been declining year by year, but after Penelope joined as a designer, she revitalized all his stores.
So, Ben not only paid Penelope a regular salary but also gave her a 3% commission on all her designs sold.
"No, you misunderstood me," Ben explained, "I actually want you to go." Now it was Penelope's turn to be incredulous. "You wantto go?"
Ben rubbed his hands. "Silk Haven' has gained brand recognition anch traffic thanks to your designs. My cousin wants a big company to buy it so he can be a shareholder."
"Silk Haven' being acquired has nothing to do with me, right?" Penelope said, om "Besides, I'm just a designer. If I'm poached, I can't design for 'Silk Haven' anymore." "My cousin said that the corporation must first acquire 'Silk Haven' before they can hire you. Otherwise, he will not allow you to leave.!" Penelope finally understood what Ben meant.
