Chapter 368: I missed you... did you?
Silence hung in the air as the night breeze blew past the two figures standing several meters apart.
Penny held her breath, instantly sobering up. She assessed Zoren, who was gazing down at the cat in his arms. He was still in a black dress shirt, his sleeves rolled up to his elbows, suggesting he had come from an occasion.
’Didn’t he meet Patricia today?’ she wondered, pressing her lips together. ’Why is he here again? He isn’t supposed to be here.’
The main point of letting Patricia into Zoren’s life was to find out who sent her. But there was another reason Penny hadn’t told Benjamin.
She didn’t want Zoren to wait in this place every Thursday, especially with the weather expected to be bad in the coming weeks.
’Did he figure it out already? So soon?’ she asked herself. ’That stupid woman... she can’t even do a proper job.’
Meow.
When Chunchun purred, Zoren slowly lifted his gaze in Penny’s direction. The moment his eyes fell on her, her breath hitched. His expression was plain, making her wonder if he could see her or not. After all, the place she was standing in was quite dark. The lights at the corners of the playground barely reached her vantage point.
’He can’t see me, can he?’ she wondered, keeping her lips sealed. Even so, she held her breath and didn’t move a muscle.
Now, what?
Moments ago, Penny had wanted to walk up to the Skyline Plaza and barge into his place. She had such courageous and audacious thoughts because of the alcohol she’d had tonight. But now that he was just a few steps away, she couldn’t even move a muscle.
Meow.
