Chapter 253: I don’t need your boss, but he needs me!
For a moment, time seemed to stop in the restaurant.
Those nearby furrowed their brows when Zoren suddenly halted. However, when their eyes landed on the lady at the table, they understood why a man like him would pause.
As for Penny, she studied his face before offering an awkward smile. "Did I just catch you red-handed... husband?" She carefully emphasized the word "husband" to gauge his reaction.
However, hearing her say that only made his lips turn down.
’Oh, so he doesn’t know either?’ she thought. ’That’s strange. Neither of us knows we’re married to each other. That doesn’t make sense at all.’
Her train of thought halted when she noticed something in his eyes.
"Huh?" She squinted and observed that his pupils were abnormally wide, like when a person’s pupils dilate in the dark to allow more light in. But it was already bright.
"Are you okay..." she trailed off as his cool, low baritone caressed her ears.
"Stop," he said, watching her look back at him. "Stop following me. Otherwise, my bodyguards might hurt you. Don’t get yourself hurt for someone who is not interested."
After saying that, Zoren took a step away and resumed his retreat from the restaurant.
