Ice-Cold Ceo, Crazy Love

Chapter 348

The atmosphere was strangely tense. Eason appeared as if he was about to speak, hesitating and seemingly holding back words he was on the brink of saying.

Susan cracked a knowing smile and said, “You know, I just remembered I left something at home. I’ll go grab it.”

Susan quickly grabbed Ben, pulling him to his feet. She then started giving Penny frantic, meaningful glances, desperately trying to communicate something without words.

The typically intuitive Penny appeared unusually unaware of Susan’s subtle cues this time. She was entirely engrossed in observing Emma, her gaze unblinking and steadfast.

“Penny,” called Susan, a bit perplexed.

Penny didn’t respond.

Penny was lost in her thoughts until Susan’s tug brought her back to the present moment.

“What’s up?” Penny managed a strained smile.

“Hey, come with me to grab something from next door?” Susan asked with a smile.

“What is it? Just have the servant bring it over,” Penny didn’t want to understand Susan’s hint.

She was adamant not to leave Eason and Emma alone together!

Penny was determined to play dumb.

That’s when Eason spoke up, “Penny, go with Susan. Help her find the thing.”

Penny looked sharply at Eason.

Penny thought, ‘Did he actually want me out of the way too?”

Penny’s face turned deathly pale.

“Alright, give me a hand here,” Susan said cheerily, oblivious to the underlying tension. Giggling, she tugged Penny along.

Penny didn’t resist, allowing herself to be led away in a daze.

It was the Landor residence next door.

Upon entering the house, Susan teased, “Hey Penny, you seemed totally lost in space today. Clearly, those two wanted some alone time. We shouldn’t be hanging around like awkward third wheels.”

Penny pursed her lips, looked at Susan, and asked, “Do you know Emma?”

Susan nodded and said, “Yeah, she’s on my team. Funny enough, Eason only met her because of me.”

“You?” Penny suddenly turned to Susan, her gaze tinged with an odd curiosity.

Susan’s eyes sparkled with amusement, “Totally. If those two end up together, Eason definitely owes
