Chapter 534: I have time for you.

The next day...

"Nina!" Penny exclaimed as soon as Nina stepped into her office, pushing herself up from her desk. "How are you? Coffee? Juice? Anything?"

Nina smiled sweetly, glancing around the office she had designed herself. "It's okay, Penny. Don't bother."

"It's no bother at all." Penny marched over to the small coffee station on the side while Nina settled on the couch.

As she looked around, Nina's smile widened. She had decorated the entire office and had taken special care of Penny's space. Seeing Penny actually using it now warmed her heart.

"I know, and I understand. Moving your base is a lot of work. I didn't want to be a bother," Nina replied, then assessed Penny closely, raising her brows. "Penny, you're glowing."

"Huh?"

"You seem really happy."

"Ahh..." Penny touched her cheek with the back of her hand. "Really?"

"Mhm. Honestly," Nina said, pursing her lips before asking, "Is it because of your husband?"

"Oh... you heard?"

Penny chuckled. "Why would I keep it a secret from you? I've kept it private, but not secret. A lot has been happening, that's all. Sorry you had to hear it from someone else."
