Chapter 411: Take care, okay?

"Oh, so you're helping him... choose a ring for me?" Penny asked as Zoren slid the catalog across the table. "Mr. Pierson, did he tell you I rejected his marriage proposal and still plan to reject him?"

Zoren nodded. "He did, but you might as well help him."

"Penny, my next marriage proposal is going to be grand!" Ray exclaimed proudly. "You can't say you'll reject it next time. You'll be shocked."

"I'm already speechless right now."

"It'll leave you in tears," Ray reassured her with a nod. "But my cousin is right. Help me pick the ring you prefer. It's easier that way."

Ray cupped his face, smiling happily as he coquettishly batted his eyelashes at her. Penny shook her head and dragged the catalog in front of her, flipping through the pages carefully, checking each ring.

"Are they pretty for your taste?" Zoren asked after several minutes of silence. "Or are they too simple?"

Still not catching on, Ray tapped the page she was staring at. "Do you like this one, Penny? Don't worry, you can choose more than one. I'll buy them for you."

"I might have ten fingers, but not all of them need a ring," Penny remarked, refocusing on the catalog. "These rings... I don't like them."

"But Penny, this is a catalog from the best diamond shop in Anteca."

"Mhm," she hummed, cupping her face as she flipped the pages with disinterest. Despite Ray's enthusiasm, she could feel another pair of eyes watching her. She glanced at Zoren, only to see him focused on the catalog in front of her.
