Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress

Chapter 1036: Overthink

"That—that—that!" Allen reached out to the driver's seat, slapping Atlas's arm as he looked back and forth between Atlas and the building outside. "That-that's the Pierson Corporation."

Atlas frowned, not sure why Allen was stuttering so much. "It is, I can read it. So, get off so I can park."

"Sir!" Much to Atlas's surprise, Allen suddenly shouted at the top of his lungs. "Are you-no, are we... is this our first job-hunting destination?! The Pierson Corporation?! Wow! The Pierson-wow!"

Allen was utterly shocked and amused, barely managing to make proper sentences for the next minute. He laughed in between, peeking at the building outside, and then back at the ice prince in the driver's seat.

"Wow!" he mused one last time, eyes twinkling as he looked out the window. "I knew it. My boss is the best-he's amazing! Of course, all other companies are nothing. Even if you don't have the CEO position here, a managerial position here is just as good as your previous work. Wow! Sir, you're really amazing and perceptive. This place didn't even cross my mind!"

Atlas arched a brow and watched Allen absorb this information. Looking at the building past Allen through the window, he frowned.

"Does it bring back some memories from the past?" Atlas asked, putting a stop to Allen's continuous praises.

"Huh?"

"You mentioned before that you applied here first, but got rejected. I didn't think much about it before, so only now am I realizing I was the second option."

Allen gasped when he saw Atlas's expression grow darker and gloomier. "Sir! It's not like that! You don't have to be jealous! I'm with you now!"
