"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!

"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?!
