Chapter 394: Him over my solitude

[PRIME GROUP]

When Penny arrived in her office, she quickly stopped by the door as she caught a person idling in the corner. Sliding her eyes to the figure, her gaze met Hugo's.

"Second Brother," she called with a slight smile, closing the door behind her. "About last night..."

"You slept at his place?" he asked before she could change the subject.

Penny cleared her throat, marching inside, sensing it would be a long morning. "Yes," she answered, placing the new empty handbag Benjamin had gotten for her on the desk. "That's where I spent the night."

"Anything else you want to share?"

'You don't want me to tell you what I did this morning with Zoren, do you?' she wondered, propping herself against the edge of the desk. Penny crossed her arms, locking eyes with him. "There's nothing else to share since nothing else happened, except him fainting from fatigue. However, I do have a few questions

for you."

Hugo studied her demeanor and shook his head. There was nothing he thought his sister had done. After all, Hugo had a good impression of Zoren, especially after that night of Zoren and Penny's first date.

He shrugged, walking on the same spot to face her. Now, Penny leaned against the desk while Hugo stood in the corner with a book in his hand.

"Shoot," he said. "What do you want to know about last night?"

"What happened last night?" she asked directly.
