Chapter 978: Better deal

[Skyline Plaza]

The next day... freewebnovel.com

Despite Penny's high fever the previous night, she woke up with a smile on her face. Stretching her arms and legs, she opened her eyes, expecting to be surrounded by her family.

But alas...

"Huh?" Penny blinked, sitting up in bed. She looked around, her brows furrowing. "Was last night a dream...?"

She remembered waking up briefly the night before, only to see her family, including her husband, sleeping in the same room. However, the room was empty and clean, with no sign of her mother, father, uncle, or brothers. Even her husband wasn't around.

"What time is it?" she wondered to herself, turning to the digital clock on the bedside table. "It's... almost noon-shit!"

She had an important meeting in an hour. Without thinking twice, Penny threw the blanket off her legs and flung her feet out of the bed. But just as she clumsily tried to put on her indoor slippers, Butler Jen's voice was heard.

"Miss Penny?"

Penny stopped and gazed toward the source of the voice. "Good morning, Butler Jen!" She flashed him a smile and resumed slipping her feet into the slippers.

"I have an important meeting in an hour. Can you please call Yugi for me? Just in case. Thanks!" she said hurriedly, rushing toward the bathroom for a quick shower. However, after taking the fifth step, she slowed down and stopped.

Deep lines appeared between her brows as her eyes landed on the familiar door to the master bedroom. Penny studied the bathroom door for a moment before slowly turning around and scanning her surroundings once again.

When her eyes fell on Butler Jen, Penny cocked her head to the side. "Butler Jen, what are you doing here?"
