Chapter 271: Ahem, uh, uh, uh

Penny pulled up to the garage and stepped out with a phone in her hand.
"Yes, Yugi," she said as she exited the driver’s seat. "I approved Zoren Pierson’s request, and I’ll send you the details of his situation once I check the file — ah!"
Penny jumped in surprise when she saw a figure standing several steps behind her. Her heart raced as she studied the guy wrapped in a blanket and using it as a cloak.
"Penny? What’s going on?" Yugi’s voice came through the phone. "Are you being robbed?"

"Penny, I’ve been waiting for you all day!" Slater threw a tantrum. "It’s my day off, but you just left so early! How could you!"
"Yugi, I’ll call you back," she said, and without waiting for his response, she hung up. "Third Brother, I’m sorry, okay? I had to do something. And what do you mean by ’how could I?’ I mean, how could you not grow up??"
Slater frowned dejectedly. "Penny, you left early just so you could say this to me when you came home, didn’t you?"
"Of course not!" she gasped. "I would never do that! You can check the building and see what I did today!"
"I’ll check it."
Her face froze, but she managed a smile. "Ehh, come on," she laughed as she approached him. "I’m going to watch all your movies tonight, and we’ll have a sleepover. Isn’t that the plan, anyway? Instead of criticizing me for something important, let’s just go inside and do what we planned!"
