Chapter 306: Willing to help
"Sir... you can say ’wow’ because if you could see her, you’d definitely say that."
Zoren raised an eyebrow at Benjamin, then followed his gaze to Penny. Although he couldn’t see what Benjamin was seeing, he could tell how the red dress accentuated her skin. Her lips were painted the same shade of red — very different from the colors she had worn in their previous encounters.
As for Benjamin, who could see all the colors, he almost clapped at how perfectly the dress fit her, as if it were custom-made. She had matched it with a red hair ribbon, making the slight wave in her hair appear like curls.
’So pretty...!’ Benjamin couldn’t help but feel in awe, not even noticing the slight displeasure in her eyes. ’Didn’t the Young Master say his Thursday Girl is healthy? I thought he meant a different kind of healthy, not literally healthy.’
After a moment, Penny stopped several steps away from them. She smiled but cast Benjamin a quick glare. Earlier, when she washed up, there was already a box prepared for her. Inside, everything she needed was complete — though it was all more suited for a party.
It’s so early to look like this!
Even so, Penny decided to wash up because she had slept in her clothes from the previous day. She was grateful for the free dress, but at the same time, it made her look like a pampered young lady whose only purpose in life was to shop like there was no tomorrow.
"Miss Penelope, good morning," Zoren greeted, tipping his head toward the nearby couch. "Breakfast is still being prepared, but if you want anything, there’s some toast."
Penny forced a smile. "Mr. Pierson, I appreciate the offer and for letting me stay over. It seems I was more exhausted than I thought, and I ended up bothering you."
"Not at all. It’s nothing compared to the help you’ve given me so far."
"Still," she said, rocking her head. "Anyway, I still have a lot of things to do, so I’ll go first."
"Are you sure you don’t want to stay for breakfast? I can drive you to your destination."
