Chapter 241: Two old friends
THURSDAY—
"Good morning!" Penny jogged down the stairs, catching Atlas on the couch while Hugo was coming in from the front door.
Judging by Atlas’s casual attire, he didn’t have any plans for the day. As for Hugo, who was dripping with sweat, she knew he had just finished his morning training.
"Are you leaving?" Atlas asked, his first question. "No jet lag?"
"Well," Penny cleared her throat and sat beside him, "I’m meeting Nina."
Atlas’s brows rose as he nodded. "Why not just invite her here?"
"Nina is a busy woman, not just you, First Brother." She bumped her side against his shoulder. "It’ll be quick."
As soon as she said those words, Penny jumped off the couch and walked away. She flashed Hugo a wide smile as she walked past him. When she reached the door, she looked back and said,
"Tell Third Brother I’m borrowing his car until my motorcycle arrives. I tried waking him up, but he’s not waking up. You might need to call a doctor just in case he never does."
After saying her piece, Penny quickly ran to the parking area and searched for Slater’s car. She wasn’t sure which one it was, so she relied on whichever would light up when she pressed the button. When her eyes landed on a lavish sports car, her face twitched.
"I should’ve known he likes flashy things." A tinge of regret crept into her heart, thinking she should’ve just borrowed a different car.
Shaking off unnecessary thoughts, Penny jumped into the sports car and drove off. As she did so, Atlas and Hugo stepped out of the front door. They watched the car drift in reverse before it sped toward the gates.
