246 I got everything under control

When Penny arrived at the Civil Bureau, she immediately asked for a form while waiting for her soon-to-be husband, whom she had hired for a sham wedding. But what awaited her wasn't just a form-it was a marriage certificate, telling her she was already married.

Penny set her eyes back on the printouts in her hand, wondering what mistake the Civil Bureau had made. If Penny had gotten married-even if it was a flash marriage out of fun-she knew she
