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

384 Finish some unfinished business

The irritated look on Benjamin’s face quickly disappeared, replaced by a hint of shock. His eyes slowly widened as he gazed at the two figures in the living area.

There, seated on the couch, was Penny. She was sitting casually, lazily, her legs crossed. Her hair was still a little messy,

With her fingers resting through it. On the other couch across from her was Zoren.

Usually, Zoren was ready to go to work by this hour. However, his boss was still in his dress shirt, the first three buttons left open. There were evident creases on his clothes, an unusual sight. Most importantly, his hair was left uncombed, cascading down his knitted brows.

‘Did they fight? Benjamin wondered, noticing that both of them carried dark expressions, as if they were ready to kill. Zoren especially looked deeply upset. Should I go in or not? I feel like if I take another step, I’ll step on a landmine.

The second the thought crossed his mind, Penny and Zoren turned their heads in his direction. The intensity of Zoren’s gaze made Benjamin’s breath hitch.

“What did I do? Benjamin asked himself. ‘Did he find out that I was the one who tipped off the Old Madam about that snake?’ a

The mere thought of Zoren finding out that Benjamin had been sending tips to the Old Madam scared him to death. Benjamin knew that if his boss found out, Zoren would send him to the desert. Knowing all that, he still did it because he wouldn’t let Patricia trick Zoren any longer.

Keeping a secret from his boss was already too much to handle. Watching him get fooled was too much!

“What took you so long, Mr. Vitt?” Penny’s voice cut through the thick air, snapping Benjamin from his inner turmoil. “Where are my clothes? I need to go to work.”

“Uh…” Benjamin opened his mouth, holding the paper bag Penny had asked him to bring.

He had received a message from her that morning saying she needed clothes. She told him she had stayed over at Zoren’s place because of an emergency. It was the reason Benjamin, who should’ve been here earlier, had to run the errand for her.

But weren’t they supposed to dislike each other?
