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

Chapter 1352: Female Zoren Pierson

Hours later...

Penny watched the clock like a hawk, and the moment it hit time to clock out, she jumped from her seat.

"I'm done for the day!" she announced, quickly typing on her phone to message her husband.

[To: Love Life]

My love, today was so exhausting. :(( I'm so tired~! Getting off work now. What do you want to eat for dinner? I'll cook for you! Even though we're both attending Grace's birthday dinner.]

A faint giggle escaped her when her phone pinged with a reply.

[From: Love Life]

You.

"Hihihi~" Penny giggled even more. "So mischievous, this husband of mine."

Thinking she could just cook anything for dinner, Penny hummed happily as she gathered her things to head home. She missed her husband — but also her children. If she didn't get home before Zoren, Renny and Chunchun would end up fighting for attention again. Penny just wanted to play with them for a while before her husband arrived, so they wouldn't feel neglected. Besides, she had to attend Grace's birthday dinner.

With that thought in mind, Penny skipped out of her office. But the moment she swung the door open, she flinched, catching sight of Patricia standing motionless outside.

Deep lines formed on Penny's forehead as she turned to face her. Patricia stood stiffly, her expression strangely formal-like she was preparing to enter a convent. Or heaven.

"You're still here?" Penny blurted out, watching as Patricia dramatically fluttered her eyelashes at her.

"Of course!" Patricia intoned. "How could I go home when my boss is still working? That just doesn't sit right with me."

"Boss?"
