259 Tell him tomorrow
Penny stayed at the restaurant until closing time. She helped with cleaning up and drove her aunt Jessa home before heading back with Allison.
It had been a long day for her, and one might think she would rest as soon as she got home. However, Penny didn’t rest. Instead, she sat at her old study desk with aptop and some important documents scattered around.
Cupping her face, she looked up Zoren Pierson.
“There are only a few articles about him, but even then… his name is barely mentioned,” she whispered, moving on to another tab.
Her brows furrowed when she saw the file Yugi had sent her an hour ago. Clicking it, her eyes. narrowed.
“A CCTV?” Penny watched the footage for a moment before ncing at the date.
It was from five years ago.
The exact date of her marriage registration.
Penny leaned back and folded her arms, watching the clip as it fast–forwarded. Her right brow slowly arched when she finished the clip.
“I was in the old office all day on that date,” she whispered, leaning forward as she noticed there. were more files.
Upon checking them, she found CCTV road footage showing where her car was heading. After viewing several of them, the next file was the CCTV footage of Haines’s house’s front door.
In conclusion, Penny had been in her old office all day and, at night, she went straight home. She didn’t stop anywhere, nor did she meet anyone. In other words, she couldn’t have registered the marriage.
When Penny exited thest footage, she finally noticed the message Yugi had left her where all these files were attached.
[From: Yugi
Can’t <b>find </b>any activities of Zoren Pierson on that same date, but from what I heard<b>, </b>he was hospitalized at that time. I checked the records, and it checks out.]
Penny opened the attached file, which showed a log from the hospital. Sure enough, Zoren Pierson’s name was listed <b>as </b><b>a </b>patient that day, though the reason was not specified.
“This is weird, she muttered while rubbing her chin. “We’re both unaware of our marriage and even if he tried to register it, he couldn’t unless I was there.
The government wasn’t a joke – at least, not in matters like this. They wouldn’t make <b>such </b>a
mistake.
“Unless there’s another Penelope Be and Zoren Pierson…” she <b>trailed </b>off, realizing that

look–alikes, <b>but </b>definitely the two of them.
Her face turned sour as she felt another headacheing on.
“Oh, my god…” Penny pinched the bridge of her nose. “If I hadn’t tried to get married, would I even know… <b>hang </b>on.”
Deep lines appeared between her brows as she stared at the screen. “In my previous life, were <b>we </b>also married?”
How would she know? She never tried to get married in her previous life – she never even had a boyfriend!
“I already have a lot on my mind, and now this?” Penny clicked her tongue and shook her head. “Never mind.”
For now, Penny’s main goal was to fix this mess. Herpany would soon operate, and she didn’t want any controversy. Considering the Piersons were a powerful andplicated n, Penny didn’t want to get tangled in whatever internal problems they had.
With that in mind, Penny decided to focus on one thing.
She didn’t need to think about the hows or whys for now. What she had to do was meet the guy <b>in </b>a formal setting. Otherwise, his bodyguards might think she was simply stalking <b>him </b>to climb into his bed.
“But how?” Penny rubbed her <b>chin</b>, racking her brain. “How would I…?” Belonging to N?velDrama.Org.
Penny raised an eyebrow before quickly straightening up to check an important list. Since the Prime Group announced its n to enter this part of the market, many people in the country. have reached out for their services.
Even though Zoren seemed to be surrounded by a bunch of bodyguards, they didn’t meet Penny’s strict standards. Compared to the men under her, those around him were too… ipetent. After all, Penny could have breached their formation if she had used force.
But that would scare the little kitten away, wouldn’t it?
Penny scrolled through the long list of clients requesting their services. She didn’t need to check the list of approved clients since there were only a few, carefully handpicked by Penny. So, this list was much longer a hundred times longer.
“Pierson… Pierson… there you are!” The corner of her lips curled up into a smirk as a glint flickered across her eyes. “I knew it. You also found your bodyguards ipetent, do you?”
Her smirk stretched even further.
“I told them,” she shrugged as she began working on it. “They’re making a big mistake. Hehe!”
Penny smoothly ran her fingers across the keyboard <b>as </b>she emailed Zoren Pierson’s office.
Meanwhile, Benjamin paced nervously outside the private ward.
His <b>boss </b>had met with Doctor Tan today, but minutes after Zoren entered the doctor’s office,

Doctor Tan had admitted <b>him </b>for the <b>night</b>. Benjamin asked about the situation, but Doctor Tan only told him that Zoren was simply being asked to stay in the small clinic to make sure he got enough rest.
Even so, Benjamin knew there was more going on.
DING<b>! </b>
Benjamin’s nervous pacing stopped when his other phone pinged. He fished it out, furrowing his brows as he <b>saw </b>an email. Checking it, his eyes slowly widened as his face brightened..
[From: Prime Group Main Branch Office
Good day!
I saw your application… and we’re d to discuss the conditions with you <b>as </b>soon as possible.
Regards,
<ol>
<li>Mouse, CEO of Prime Group] </li>
</ol>
Benjamin’s breath slowed, and he nearly stopped breathing when he saw the name at the bottom. He covered his mouth in shock, eyes gleaming with hope and excitement.
“The CEO… the CEO of Prime Group…” He grinned, and, out of excitement, he knocked on the door hurriedly. When he heard Zoren’s quiet voice, Benjamin enthusiastically slid it open.
Zoren raised an eyebrow, unable to see the expression on Benjamin’s face. “Bad news?”
“Boss…!” Benjamin panted. “We heard back from the CEO of Prime Group. He’s asking when we can meet… as soon as possible.”
Zoren nodded. “As soon as possible… tell him tomorrow.”
