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

Chapter 1243: Take a break

[Prime Group]

"And you're... stressed again!" Yugi noticed as soon as he walked into Penny's office. "Say, Penny, have you tried yoga? Or just going to church for some inner peace? Because at this point, I think you need it."

Penny slowly looked up at her cousin across the desk. "What is that you're holding?"

"Uh-oh." Yugi's brows rose playfully as he moved the papers in his hand closer to him. "That's not good. You just ignored my comments."

"At this point, I might need something stronger than yoga," she replied. "Like knocking someone's teeth out because they talk too much."

"Oops." Yugi cleared his throat and placed the papers on the desk. "But Penny-"

Everything he wanted to say stopped when she glanced at him again. He zipped his mouth shut and straightened his back.

"The competition is next week, but we're already filtering out the people who could compete. Would you like to check?" he proposed. "Maybe it'll be good for you."

"Never mind that." Penny waved dismissively. "I'm tired, Yugi."

"Why are you even this tired? Didn't you go home early last night?"

Her frown deepened, the corners of her eyes shimmering. "I know, right? Blame my brothers for not giving me a break."

Yugi placed a hand on his hip, studying the somber look on her face. After a second, he knocked on her desk to get her attention. "That's it. Get up."

"Huh?"
