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.

"I shouldn't have bothered so much," she muttered, cheek squished against her palm as her eyes slowly drooped. "Should I take a short power nap?"

Since Penny had people in her department handling fifty percent of her usual workload, she could afford to be idle for a bit. Even so, would her mind allow her to sleep? Or was it just the work making her sleepy?

While Penny was wondering what to do, a knock came at the door.

"Huh?" She blinked and turned her eyes toward it. "Come in."

As the door opened, her brows knitted when she caught sight of Patricia peeking her head in.

Ugh, not again. I don't have time for Patricia's nonsense.

Much to her surprise, before she could even start lecturing, Hayley followed Patricia inside. Then came Shawn and Teddy.

"Huh?" She scrunched up her nose, only to sniff and catch a whiff of something... delicious. Her eyes dropped to their hands - Hayley was holding boxes of takeout, while Shawn and Teddy carried big plastic bags. "Uh... what are those?"

"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."
