"This is... what?!" Benjamin's jaw dropped, his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets. He darte his gaze between the marriage printouts in his hand and his boss seated behind the desk.

He had asked about this countless times until the clerk couldn't stop glaring at his stubbornness. But the system says... Zoren Pierson was married to Penelope Bennet!

"Oh, no..." He held his head and staggered back. "How?"

Since Zoren couldn't see or read the marriage certificate, he had Benjamin do it. He wouldn't have needed to if he could see, so now Zoren had to accept someone panicking around him. "Of all people - is this another one of Dean Pierson's carefully devised plots?!" Benjamin gasped "That woman and he are connected! She probably approached you just to tell you about this! How dare they taint the name of Prime Group just because she works there as at representative?"

With this story becoming more solid in his head, Benjamin rushed to the desk. "Boss, this doesn't make any sense at all! She and Dean are probably in it together! Prime Group might have a reputation, but in business, we both know that-" 2

"Who said I'm planning to divorce her?"

"Ah?"

"Go." Zoren didn't explain himself and waved dismissively. "Just do what I said and go."

Benjamin pressed his lips together, about to weep at his pitiful boss's situation. Why did his enemies always find a way to give his boss trouble? Wasn't Zoren's illness enough? Couldn't they wait?!
