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

Chapter 1433: Food is meant to be enjoyed

"Oh, wow." Penny was in awe as she gazed at her plate, watching as smaller portions of every dish were placed near her. Her eyes twinkled as she shifted her gaze to the person responsible for all the meat before her.

Patricia smiled proudly. "Since I'm your assistant, I know the boss has a lot of work, and food is a great source of energy. Please eat and don't worry about anything else." If Penny liked, Patricia would even spoon feed her.

"Wow..." Penny's mouth fell open, her eyes twinkling at Patricia. For a second, she seemed to have forgotten all the vile things Patricia had done in the past.

"Go on, boss." Patricia smiled like an angel. "Eat to your heart's content."

She then turned to face everyone. "Just let me know if you want some as well. I'll serve you."

Teddy didn't answer, while Hayley just smiled back at Patricia. Shawn, on the other hand, stopped Patricia from giving him food because he didn't want others to think he was taking advantage of the situation.

After their brief time in the competition, the Pierson representatives bid their farewells. Since they had left, Penny idly watched the competition but didn't bother staying much longer. Yugi was left behind, leaving only Penny and the four new hires-Teddy, Patricia, Hayley, and Shawn.

But instead of heading back to the Prime Group, Penny took them to a barbecue restaurant for lunch.

"By the way..." Penny trailed off when she noticed how the four quickly straightened their backs. They even stopped chewing, their eyes focused solely on her, as if they were expecting something important.

"You guys should loosen up," she said, blinking innocently. "All I wanted to say was-do you want to finish strong with dessert?"
