Penelope wasn't completely oblivious to what Rachel was planning but refused to live in fear and allow it to ruin her life. Since Alex told her his intention to step down as Brilliancia's CEO, her position in the company had changed as well. She was now directly working from the marketing department at the CEO's office. She threw herself into her work, focusing on the teaching Alex was sharing with her.
Alex had been grooming Penelope to fill in his shoes once he left the company. Penelope worked closely with Alex and attended various meetings with him.

Penelope proved herself to be a quick learner, earning the respect of the senior executives at Brilliancia.
