The second time Penny announced their presence, Finn and Zoren turned in their direction. The intimidating looks on their faces quickly faded, replaced by smiles. However, that wasn’t enough to stop Penny from asking.

Penny wouldn’t buy that. She knew her husband well, and she knew he wouldn’t carry that kind of look on his face if it was just about the Pierson Corporation. That was Zoren’s playground, after all. Even so, she let it pass since it was morning and Nina was there.
