Chapter 1286: Bitter, brokenhearted man

To be honest, Penny had noticed that Atlas seemed to enjoy being at Pierson Corporation. Back when he was in Global Prime Logistics, he had no one to play with except Allen. As a result, Allen had not only been stressed out but also traumatized.

But at Pierson Corporation, there were plenty of people Atlas could vent to.

Shaking her head, she watched as Atlas retrieved something from the backseat of his car. She crossed her arms under her chest, unable to stop herself from glancing at Dean in the other car parked next to them.

Dean was just sitting there, looking at her, his eyes full of judgment.

At first, Penny tried to ignore it. But the longer she did, the more the vein in her forehead protruded. Her face began to twitch irritably, and when she couldn't take it anymore, she marched up to his car and knocked on the front passenger window.

"Come on," she said in a confrontational tone. "If you want to fight, let's do it. Don't just sit there staring at me and making me read your mind with that face you're making."

Dean barely glanced at her before looking away indifferently.

His dismissive action made her gasp.

"Did he just... roll his eyes at me?" she scoffed in disbelief. "What a jerk!"

"You were the jerk," Atlas remarked nonchalantly, his upper body still inside the backseat. "You gave him false hope, and now he's just a bitter, brokenhearted man."

"When did I give him false hope?"

"Since that internship."

"But I didn't even know he was going to be on the same team."
