Chapter 1359: A demand letter

[Prime Group]

"I thought you liked her."

Yugi's voice broke the silence in the CEO's office, catching Penny standing by the window, looking out.

"She left."

"Mhm."

Penny had her arms crossed, her eyes down where she could glimpse the building's entrance. "I know."

She had been watching, after all.

Yugi shrugged slightly, leaning against the desk. "Aren't you being a bit harsh on her?"

"Harsh?" She slowly peeled her gaze away from him. "I need to be harsh if I want her to stop harassing me."

"Harass? Well, if you say so," he hummed, watching Penny unfold her arms and move behind the desk. "Penny, I think you should give her a chance."

"Yugi, I can't believe you're saying that. On top of having no qualifications for such an important role, she bullied Nina for years." Penny snapped her gaze at him as she slowly sat down. "She might try to change her ways, but she'd better do it without me in the picture."

Yugi rocked his head slightly, studying Penny as she started working. "I know she bullied Nina, and like you said, she'd be better off without you. But do you think Nina would've let her be all these years just because? Nina understands just how deep a stab she dealt that woman when they were children. I'm not saying that's a license for Miss Miller to bully my sister, but if there's one thing I've learned from you, it's that... everybody deserves a second chance."

"And her second chance is not welcome in my life," Penny replied without hesitation. "Yugi, I know you kind of feel sorry for her. But even if, let's say, she's trying her best to change and is no longer the Patricia Miller I knew, the job she wants is too great for her to grasp, let alone embrace."

She shook her head, eyes on Yugi. "One slip-up, and she'll be the worst mistake I ever make."
