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.

The registrar didn't spare her a judgmental look for trying to get married when she was already married.

"Uh. Penny cleared her throat. "There's no need for this wedding anymore.

"Oh. Alright! Then, goodbye!"

Her face contorted as she watched her supposed husband bolt away like a flash of lightning. "He didn't even ask me what happened," she hissed but didn't dwell on it.

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
