Chapter 1350: You might be in danger
Jessa and Allison didn’t linger long after signing their checks. If anything, Jessa even had the audacity to tell Penny, "You’re welcome," as if the additional thousand they added to their monthly expenses was something that could help Penny’s company flourish.
But Penny didn’t think much about it.

But in this lifetime, since she started young and had been trading as her first step to financial freedom, money had eventually become just mere numbers. She was still grateful, though, but when it came to business—one million was a very small number, let alone thousands.
"They still left my office with a smile," Penny hummed, smacking her lips in satisfaction as she stared at the checks in her hand. "I wonder how I should give these back to those two?"
Penny rubbed her chin, thinking of a way to return the money to Jessa and Allison without directly handing it back. After a few minutes of fruitless brainstorming, she waved dismissively.
"I’ll think about it later," she muttered, opening a drawer to place the checks inside. She then picked up her phone and dialed someone who might want to hear about this.

"It’s... Penny." Nina furrowed her brows. "I think it’s business if she’s calling you. Otherwise, she’d call me."
