Chapter 1528: I should visit the lab
"That’s good." Penny nodded approvingly, holding two papers in both hands and glancing between them. "This is looking good. Have you made contact with the company?"
Teddy, seated on the long chair, nodded. "I’ve already arranged an appointment with them. Would you like to attend?"
"Me?" She chuckled. "No, it’s fine. I trust you’ll negotiate properly. If they don’t agree with our terms, then drop them."
"Yes." He lowered his head, avoiding her gaze, as she was still in her pajamas.
Penny studied him for a moment before speaking. "Are you sure you’re going to be fine with this? Or should I send Hayley with you to the meeting?"
"I can handle it," he replied. "The people I’m going to meet might be from my past, but that doesn’t faze me at all."
He paused and looked her in the eye. "You told me to kick their ass, and I’m planning to do that. Not physically, but with this deal."
"That’s my assistant for you," she smirked in approval. "Anyway, everything looks good. Let me know how the negotiation goes once you’ve finished."
With that, Penny pushed herself up and sauntered toward the desk. She had already completed two tasks this morning, so it was time for her to go back to the penthouse and change. Working in her pajamas might be comfortable, but it wasn’t appropriate in a business setting.
Why did she have to conform to norms?
The thought made her frown, but still, looking decent wasn’t such a bad thing. After all, anyone could walk in here, even though she had told Patricia not to accept visitors. An emergency could arise at any moment.
Meanwhile, Teddy picked up his things and dragged his feet toward the door. But just as he was about to leave, he looked back at Penny.
