Slater huffed and tossed the laundry on top of the washing machine. Picking up the detergents, he couldn't help but recall Penny's words."

"Does she really eat while sleeping?" What she said left a huge question mark on his mind. "She must be kidding. There's no way she will still eat while sleeping."

And he was correct. Penny usually stayed up at night to study the market flow, despite already having clear ideas on where to invest her money.

"There's clearly a few shoe prints on it. So, unless a shoe is an ingredient, that will explain it." Nina would usually believe him when he said this. After all, Penny wasn't the first person who found out about his dirty uniforms.
