Chapter 529: Congrats!
"Stay out of my sister’s life, and I’ll stay out of yours."
Dean couldn’t help but laugh as he recalled Slater’s warning. After saying that, Slater stepped back and offered Dean a charming smile, showing no trace of his earlier hostility. With that, Slater happily returned to his car and sped away, even honking to tease him before leaving.
"Sir," Dean’s assistant called. "Should we be worried about Slater Bennet?"
"There’s no need for that." Dean shook his head. "He’s just playing because he’s bored. As someone who’s always out and about, I’m certain his long-overdue vacation is killing him. So, let him be."
The assistant nodded. "Yes, sir."
Meanwhile, Dean leaned back and gazed out the window. He should have been mad about all of this, but in a way, he was amused. First Penny, now Slater—both were invading the Pierson family. It was so ridiculous he could only shake his head and laugh.
"Hah... Penny." His laughter subsided as he ran his tongue along his inner cheek. "What am I going to do with you? Now, even your brothers are meddling."
Did she ask them to intervene, or what?
From what Slater had said, Dean was certain Penny had mentioned their exchange. She might not have detailed it, but he understood that he had truly angered her yesterday. Well, that made it two of them, because she had angered him just as much.
"Send flowers to Penny’s office," he ordered without taking his eyes off the window. "Add a card that says, ’I’m sorry about yesterday.’"
"Yes, sir." The assistant nodded. "Is there a specific flower she likes?"
"No," Dean smirked. "She doesn’t like flowers, but send her one anyway. I’m certain she’s just going to throw it in the trash, so choose one that fits the trash can."
