Chapter 1506: Zoren's drama

"I stayed up late, and I feel so sleepy today," Penny yawned as she groggily forced herself to work.

One of Penny's weaknesses was not getting enough sleep. Her body had been used to it in her first life, given her reckless lifestyle. But in this timeline, she made sure to take care of herself.

That included eating nutritious meals, doing full-body training to stay strong, and getting a full eight hours of sleep. Even with her wild nightly routine with her husband, the two of them stuck to that and still managed to get quality rest.

"Miss Penny, it's already lunchtime, and we thought we'd invite you to eat!" Hayley said with a bright smile. "Would you like to have lunch with us?"

Shawn stepped forward, raising the plastic bags. "Boss, we bought some really warm soups from this old restaurant that serves authentic Antecan staples. Best to eat it while it's still hot."

Patricia grinned, raising the box proudly. "These sell like hotcakes - they're that
