Lola's mouth fell open as she stared at the gorgeous woman behind the desk. Though her hair was shorter than in the last photo released of her, it made her look more mature. There was barely anything on Penny's face, yet the room seemed brighter than before.
Penelope Bennet, she thought. No doubt it was her. In the flesh.
Lola gulped, knowing this woman, now approaching her, had just made it onto the list of the most powerful women in the world. Not just because of her successful businesses, her ties to numerous public figures, and producing one of the largest security systems and programs on the market, but also because of her research on the Miracle Drug.
Lola had heard of that drug—everyone had. In conclusion, the woman standing before her was not just successful; she was smart, wealthy beyond imagination, and beautiful. A total package; nothing about her was wasted. If Slater was the star, this woman was the moon—irreplaceable.
