Chapter 1285: Stalking

[Pierson Corporation] freewebnovel.com

Zoren was leaning in his chair, eyes closed. He had spent his morning and lunch working, so now, using this time to rest, he planned to take at least a short nap. His health often came first, so his wife wouldn't worry too much.

Even though there was a lingering reluctance in his heart regarding a full recovery, he wanted to please Penny. His desire not to constantly worry her overcame any other reluctance. However, even with his eyes closed, his mind couldn't seem to find rest.

Slowly, he opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling. Another sharp breath escaped his nostrils, pulling his back from the chair. Just as he was planning to get back to work, his ringtone suddenly reached his ears.

[You're my honey bunch, sugar plum, pumpy-umpy-umpkin...]

He moved slowly, listening to Penny's singing voice as he reached for his phone.

A smile quickly tugged at his lips as he listened to the song more.

"She would be angry if she found out I secretly recorded her singing," he muttered, wanting to listen to it before answering. However, Zoren had been doing this since they came back from the five-day trip, that he would forget this was the ringtone for his wife's calls.

"Hello?" he answered, his voice cool and calm.

"Renren, have you been busy?" Penny asked. "You've been answering my calls last minute. Should I call Benjamin next time to check if you're free? I don't want to bother you if you're working."

Zoren bit his tongue, unsure whether to tell her the truth. "There's no need," he said, in the same unfazed tone. "What is it?"

"I'm coming by!" Penny remarked.

"You would?" He arched a brow, checking the time. "Isn't it too early for you to clock out?"

"I'm the boss! I can do whatever the hell I want!"

"..." Zoren shook his head, agreeing with her, even though he was also the boss in

his own company. But somehow, he couldn't do everything he wanted. For

instance, he couldn't retire.
