Chapter 1529: It’s always the bet
Patricia scribbled on a piece of paper out of boredom. She knew she had plenty of work, but somehow, her brain wasn’t functioning the way she wanted it to. Just then, she noticed a figure approaching the CEO’s office.
"Uh, excuse me, you can’t —" Patricia gasped, momentarily mesmerized at the young man standing across from her. Her mouth fell as her cheeks turned pinkish.
He’s... my type.
Her daze, however, was quickly shattered when the "young man" spoke. "What?"
"Huh?" Patricia blinked, the look of admiration slowly changing into dismay. "Penny?!"
Standing across the reception area was Penny. However, unlike the usual smart casual attire she would wear in the office, she was dressed in a loose shirt and equally loose jeans, with a chain hanging at the side. But that wasn’t what surprised Patricia; it was the short wig she was wearing, topped with a cap. There were some fake piercings at the end of her lips and her ear.
Patricia moved closer to get a better look. "Oh, my God. It’s really you!" she gasped again, disbelief clear in her eyes.
Penny also had a large beauty mark on her cheekbone, which looked more like an unsightly mole.
"Are you okay?" Patricia asked, rushing out from behind her desk. "Did you hit your head last night?"
Penny deadpanned. "I didn’t hit my head. I’m going out for a bit. If anyone asks where I am, tell them I’m busy."
"Mark," she continued, as Mark stood up from his chair. "Let’s go."
Without further explanation, Penny walked away, and Mark quietly followed her.
