"Penny!" Patricia chimed. "Are you going home too? Want to join us for dinner-?"

"Get on the other one," Penny cut in, jumping into the elevator that coincidentally opened beside them.

The four assistants blinked as she pressed a button and glanced up. When the doors closed in front of them, they exchanged puzzled looks. For a moment, they tried to see where Penny was headed, but all they caught was that she was going to the floor above.

"What's that about?" Hayley wondered aloud. "She looks like she's in a hurry."

"Maybe she needs the bathroom," Patricia guessed, raising her brows when the other three gave her a look. "What? Is there something wrong with hurrying to the bathroom?"

Teddy shook his head and turned toward the other elevator, which had also arrived. Shawn offered Patricia a brief smile before following him in.
