Chapter 1507: Yugi, was it possible for me to work here?
Being Penny’s assistant wasn’t Zoren’s dream. His dream was to spend every second of his life with his wife. He wanted to watch her at every step, listen to her every breath, count how many times she blinked each day — just to marvel at how amazing she was.
But he couldn’t do that, mainly because Atlas would kill him.
Accepting that wasn’t easy, and he ended up secretly resenting her four assistants. Just when he thought he was slowly coming to terms with the fact that these four would be helpful to his wife, he walked into an unforgivable scene.
"You guys, we should eat together next..." Penny trailed off when the door suddenly flew open. "Huh? Renren?"
Standing in the doorway was Zoren, his towering figure filling the space. Everyone paused, staring at each other with equal surprise.
Penny and her four assistants, mid-chew, looked at Zoren with puzzled expressions. They stopped chewing, their attention fixed on the person in the doorway.
Zoren, on the other hand, just gazed at them. His eyes landed first on his wife, whose mouth was open, a spoon hovering just before it. Penny, too surprised to react, paused awkwardly. Hayley and Shawn had stuffed cheeks, but they stopped chewing, staring back at him. Patricia halted mid-bite of her cookie while Teddy, with nothing in his mouth, looked back at him wide-eyed.
Zoren shifted his gaze back to Penny. "You’re... okay...?"
"Huh?"
"..." Zoren pressed his lips together, the image of his wife leaning on his shoulder, expressing how lucky she was to have him, shattered.
Zoren had come here to cheer up his wife, knowing she’d been a little worried about some things. But it seemed someone—four people, to be exact—had already done the job.
"Eat well," he said, before turning to leave. But before closing the door, he glanced back at Penny. "Let’s talk later."
