Chapter 386: Wants him there
"Wow..." Benjamin felt a sense of deja vu watching Penny walk down the stairs. "Boss—"
Before he could say the same thing he had said before, Zoren already spoke. "Wow," he smiled, seeing her now in an emerald green dress.
Benjamin furrowed his brows as he cast his boss a skeptical look. Zoren was smiling, his eyes fixed on Penny’s figure.
’Could he see her?’ he wondered. ’Or is he just pretending to?’
"Mr. Vitt, you do realize these types of dresses are for parties?" Once Penny reached them, she quickly cast Benjamin an incredulous look. "Were you trying to embarrass me at work?"
Benjamin snapped his eyes back to Penny. ’No! I just thought it fit you, and I was right!’ That was what he wanted to say, but not in front of Zoren.
"Ahem!" He cleared his throat and put on a haughty look. "Miss Penelope, if you think that I’m trying to do that, then you shouldn’t ask for such favors next time. Don’t you have an assistant?"
"No, I don’t."
"Hah! Then ask her—wait, what?" Benjamin scrunched up his nose. "Really?"
Penny rolled her eyes and then faced Zoren. Her lips naturally curled up at him as she blurted out a teasing remark. "How do I look, Mr. Pierson?"
"I have eye problems," he quipped, making both Penny and Benjamin feel guilty.
Penny bit her lip. "Right."
