Chapter 1129: Worst luck
"They’re gonna kill you."
Penny halted as her brows twitched up slightly. The corner of her mouth lifted a little, and the relaxed air around her gradually changed as she faced Mint.
"That’s one way to get my attention," she said, holding the railing as she leaned against it.
Mint, on the other hand, simply observed the change in the air around Penny. Earlier, Penny had been tamed—one might wonder if she was truly the woman everyone was talking about.
"Now, that’s Penelope," Mint smiled in satisfaction, walking over to Penny’s side. "For a moment, I thought the stories I heard about Penelope Bennet were overexaggerations. But I guess you simply knew how to enjoy a vacation."
"That’s one way to put it," Penny replied. "If you come to me as Benjamin’s cousin, I’ll treat you as one. However, if you come to me for business, you’ll get business. Now, what you said... is that just to get my attention?"
"Well." Mint shrugged. "Partly, maybe."
She paused, and the smile on her face brightened. "My proposal to you still stands, and I’m dead serious about it. I’d make you my wife if I get the chance, but I’ll put that off for later. I don’t think it’s fair to make a move on you when my rival isn’t here."
"What I said was to get your attention, but also because I need your help with something," she continued solemnly. "I’ve heard a lot about the Prime Group, and to be honest, many people aren’t happy with your company. Particularly, the Secret Service."
"I’m aware," Penny nodded. "Would they kill me because their clients trust my services more?"
