Chapter 322: I am interested
Penny had never been on a date before, but she had seen enough to know that this was an invitation.
Cupping her cheeks, a little panic crept into her heart. "Am I his type as well?" she wondered, slapping herself for acting so shamefully.
"Penelope Bennet!" she hissed to herself, wincing. "You are already in your fifties! Don’t act like a teenager! Don’t forget who Penelope Bennet is!"
She repeated that chant three times before she snapped her eyes open. A fiery determination shone in her eyes as if she were about to enter a battlefield.
"This is Renren, and I should know better than anyone that he might mean something else," she told herself and bravely picked up her phone, ready to clear up the misunderstanding instead of dragging it out.
DING!
Just as Penny held her phone again, another message came from him.
[From: Mr. Pierson
I’m asking you on a date.]
Penny gasped, covering her mouth in shock. ’So I wasn’t mistaken?’
Feeling these emotions for the first time, she was briefly confused, shocked, and caught off guard. Penny was still in the process of dealing with this attraction she had never felt before in either of her lifetimes. Therefore, she didn’t respond immediately but instead quietly pondered what to say.
It could be as easy as a yes or a no, but both answers seemed disadvantageous to her.
