Chapter 1569: First love
At the same time...
Dean walked through the hallway, heading to the laboratory. A soft chuckle escaped him, shaking his head.
On his way here, he spotted Penny’s car with Mark inside. In other words, he knew Penny was once again in the laboratory. It was the perfect time for him to boast in front of her and remind her that he needed her. However, when Dean finally reached the laboratory and opened the door quietly, he froze.
His breath hitched as his eyes widened.
Inside were Penny and Zoren, their lips locked in a visible embrace.
His mind instantly went blank as Zoren’s sharp eyes slid in his direction. For a moment, Zoren met his gaze, and almost as if to mock him, pulled Penny closer, his hand on the back of her head. In one swift move, he lifted Penny by the waist and seated her on the counter.
Unaware of the additional pair of eyes, she willingly wrapped her arms around Zoren’s neck.
Dean gulped, and before he knew it, he walked out in a slight panic. His fingertips trembled, his mouth opening and closing. Surprisingly, instead of a torrent of thoughts, his mind was blank.
His eyes darted, loosening his tie as he hurried away from there.
Dean didn’t stop for anyone. He just kept walking, trying to erase the scene of Zoren and Penny replaying in his mind. As soon as he jumped into his car, the silence seemed more deafening. His chest heaved, his complexion pale.
"What..." he trailed off, his brows furrowing deeply. "... the hell?"
What had he just witnessed?
