Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress

313 You have a good friend, Penny.

When Allen came out to get Penny from the reception desk, he slowed his steps to buy himself some time to study her. Glancing at her discreetly from head to toe, Allen couldn’t help but gulp.

She wasn’t as tall as he’d imagined, but she had a figure worth flaunting. Her red dress made her skin look even fairer, and the red ribbon in her hair completed the look. Although she seemed a little too young for Atlas, his boss certainly wasn’t doing badly.

“Hello, Miss…” Allen greeted, leaving his question hanging.

Penny just smiled without replying to his obvious inquiry.

Allen cleared his throat and forced a smile. “Well, I’ll take you to the CEO’s office.””

“Alright, thanks!” she nodded and happily followed Allen to her brother’s office.

Allen knocked carefully three times before opening the door, curious about what would happen once these two forbidden lovers met. But as soon as he opened the door, he realized he didn’t want to see it.

Penny, on the other hand, was smiling brightly to counteract her brother’s mood from last night. However, when she tilted her head the moment Allen opened the door, her expression twisted.

“I don’t think I should go inside, Penny whispered, and Allen nodded instinctively.

“This is going to be bad, Miss.”

Just a few steps from the door stood Atlas, his arms crossed, his expression dark, and a menacing aura emanating from him. The office, surrounded by floor–to–ceiling windows, somehow appeared darker even with all the blinds open.

“I can hear you,” Atlas said to the two of them, pointing a finger at Penny. “You… come in.”

Allen glanced back at Penny, and although he barely understood the scandalous situation this woman was involved in with his boss, he felt sorry for her. He tried to offer a cheerful smile, but it came across as more apologetic.
