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.

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?"

"There's nothing else to share since nothing else happened, except him fainting from fatigue. However, I do have a few questions
