Chapter 303: Take her home
The first time Penny laid eyes on Zoren Pierson — without knowing he was Renren — she knew he was dangerous. He was trouble. It was her instinct’s first scream at her... and her instincts had never failed her, not even once.
Tonight, she proved that once again.
"What do you think, my dear?" Old Mrs. Pierson’s voice snapped Penny back from her trance. "Hmm?"
Penny blinked, a brief smile on her face. "What, Grandma?"
"She’s asking if you would stay over," Zoren casually repeated. "And I said no."
"Ah." She nodded and turned to Old Mrs. Pierson. "Grandma, as much as I want to, I still have a lot of appointments tomorrow. Like I said, I’m branching out here, and I’m currently setting up my office so I can be with my husband."
Old Mrs. Pierson sighed and glared at Butler Hubert. The butler’s breath hitched before he quickly found a way to salvage the situation.
"Old Madam," Butler Hubert leaned closer to the Old Madam’s side, "I think we should let them go for now. So, when you ask them next time, they won’t be able to refuse. Moreover, I’m sure their private time together earlier wasn’t enough."
"You’re right." Old Mrs. Pierson nodded, and at this point, Penny and Zoren couldn’t help but see Butler Hubert as the incarnate version of the devil on the old madam’s shoulder.
"Alright!" Old Mrs. Pierson smiled in satisfaction, though tinged with reluctance. She turned to Penny and reached out. Penny automatically responded, gently holding the old madam’s hand.
"My dearest, please visit your grandma when you have the time, alright?" Old Mrs. Pierson remarked, her eyes soft and her hold warm. "Tell me if someone is giving you a hard time. I’ll put them in their place!"
"Haha. Grandma, it’s alright. No one’s giving me a hard time."
