276 Chunchun's birthday [From: Mr. Pierson]

Sometimes two heads are better than one. Should we meet today to discuss this problem and perhaps resolve it quickly? It would be better than exchanging messages. After all, this matter is now also my problem.]

For a moment, silence filled the CEO's office as Benjamin and Zoren stared quietly at the phone.

"Sir..." Benjamin's eyes lit up as he turned to Zoren. "Miss Penelope is willing to help!"

A broad smile stretched across his face, and hope clearly shone in his eyes.

"Sir, this is good news!" Benjamin took a step closer, excited. "If we can get her to play along or help with the planning, we might resolve this quickly! After all, if Miss Penelope is the one to explain your separation, the chairwoman will believe it." Zoren reconsidered and nodded. "Fair enough, but not today."

"Sir..." Benjamin felt like tearing his hair out. "Why?!"

"Thursday today."

Benjamin almost choked as he remembered Zoren's fixed Thursday plans in the afternoon to evening. As he tried to mend his broken heart and hoped Penny would understand, he heard Zoren's voice.

"I'm sorry, I can't today. I have an important appointment." Sent!

I'm sorry, I can't today. I have an important appointment.]

Penny dropped her phone and buried her face in her palms.

"Fine," she huffed. "It's okay, Penny. This is nothing. He's a busy man, and important meetings that he can't reschedule happen."

As a businesswoman herself, Penny knew this better than anyone. After all, she had canceled many plans and minor appointments in the past for more important matters.

Penny snapped her eyes up and looked at herself in the mirror. "I guess I'm... panicking a little. too much. If he's calm, there's no need for me to worry, right?" She nodded at herself and smiled, gently slapping her cheeks until they turned a little red.

"Well, I offered. No need to panic. It's just a piece of paper nothing's changed." She winked at herself.

It wasn't like Penny had to get a divorce immediately. The only reason she was in a hurry initially was that she didn't know Zoren Pierson personally. But now, she knew a lot more about him: his life, his position, where he lived, and his illness. If she wanted more, she could just read more of the files he sent

If not for you, Jessa would be breathing fire." Penny laughed, leaning her arms against the counter. "No worries, Mom." Her eyes drifted to the door from the kitchen to the counter, where she saw Jessa walking out, taking off her hat. "Looking good, Aunt!"

"Oy, Penny, not today. I know I'm perfect, but I'm tired." Jessa slumped in the chair behind the counter, exhaustion written across her face. "You should eat first before you go home."

"Aunt, I'm alright!" Penny grinned as she began taking off her apron around her waist. "I already ate, so I'm heading back home."

"You're not going to go home with us?" Allison asked, only to see her daughter shake her head.
