275 Two heads are better than one

[To: Miss Penelope]

I told my grandmother I was married to lessen her worries. Now, everyone knows I am married.]

Benjamin held his breath, darting his nervous eyes between Zoren and the phone on the desk. He stood on the side, hugging the document he was reading for Zoren to sign.

They waited for Penny to respond.

'I bet she won't,' Benjamin thought, his eyes brimming with pity for his boss. 'Why did he have to tell the chairwoman about his marriage?!"

However, there were some upsides to this, because rumors of Zoren getting better were attributed to his wife's care. The frequent visits to the hospital and checkups were supposed to ensure he continued to recover.

Benjamin didn't know how the rumor started, but he was certain the chairwoman's side had everything to do with it.

'But there are also downsides. 'Benjamin sighed, weeping internally. 'Because everyone was shocked about my boss's marriage, everyone wants to meet her."

Of course, that desire to meet Penny wasn't entirely pure.

Zoren had been refusing these requests, using the excuse that he didn't want to expose his wife to family affairs. If that didn't work, he'd claim his wife valued privacy even more than he did.

'However, that excuse won't last long... against the chairwoman, Benjamin teared up, feeling sorry for both his boss and the chairwoman. But it's too late to come clean now.'

Benjamin's face soured. "Sir, finding you an actor to play as your wife... isn't that hard. However, finding someone who looks like Miss Penelope is hard. Your grandmother checked the marriage license, and even with her old age, she's good at recognizing faces. Not to mention, Butler Hubert also saw it as well."

'Why did you have to prove it to them by showing your marriage license!? That was what Benjamin wanted to shout, but his boss was already too pitiful for him to scold.

"She doesn't have a twin, does she?" Zoren asked, making Benjamin briefly weep.

'My boss is very desperate now!"

Zoren let out a shallow breath and leaned back, knowing Penny wouldn't respond to him anymore. "Then there's only one thing I can do."
