Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress

337 Please stay married!

Meanwhile, in the Skyline Plaza, Zoren’s mansion, Benjamin paced back and forth in the

entryway.

Today was Sunday, and he shouldn't be here. However, he had heard that his boss went on a date

with Penny! Of course, Benjamin couldn’t wait until tomorrow to see how it went.

‘My boss has never gone out with someone in the past. All of his dates ended minutes after they started, and |

arranged most of them! Benjamin shook his head, his stress level continuing to skyrocket. ‘This is the first time

he asked someone on a date and planned everything from start

to finish!’

It wasn’t that Benjamin had little faith in Zoren-he had no faith at all! 3

How could his boss know what to do?

Zoren was inexperienced, and as harsh as it may be, he had a weird, dry humor.

“I can only hope he didn’t mess it up with Miss Penny,” he muttered nervously. “Miss Penny doesn’t seem like the

type who has a lot of patience.”

Although Benjamin couldn’t blPenny, he admitted that he was over the top initially. However, he had no

other excuse than being fed up with all the schemes thrown Zoren’s way unprovoked. Plus, Penny was very

pretty and might successfully seduce Zoren.

“Still, Miss Penny doesn’t also look like the type to entertain people out of pity.” The thought brought a bubble of

dismay to his chest. “Should | call them? What tis it?”

Benjamin checked the tand was in disbelief. It was already past nine in the evening, and yet Zoren wasn’t

home. And being tic with such a wild imagination, he couldn't help but consider all the bad things that

could've happened to Zoren and Penny.

The longer he waited, the more negative his thoughts became. All of this only stopped when he saw a car pulling

up to the wide-open entrance.

“He’s home!” Benjamin jumped from his spot and rushed outside. By the the reached the car, Zoren had

already stepped out and closed the door.

“Sir!” he called enthusiastically, assessing Zoren from head to toe. “How was the date? How did it

go?”

Zoren glanced at his assistant and raised an eyebrow. “Benjamin, what are you doing at my place on a Sunday?”

“Sir, | heard you were going on a date with Miss Penelope!” Benjamin exclaimed. “Of course, | need to make sure

you got hin one piece! Otherwise, I'll have to call the police on that

woman!”

“Ahh...” Zoren nodded in understanding before dragging his feet inside.

Benjamin followed him in a hurry. “So, sir, what did she do to you?! How was the date? She didn’t feed you any

poison, did she?”

“Good.”

“Good?” Benjamin's lips curved down deeply as he assessed Zoren'’s side profile. “That's all, good?”

Zoren didn’t respond until they reached the last step. He then faced Benjamin, head tilted.

“| still can’t see you, Ben,” he said, making his assistant furrow his brows. “However, you sound excited rather

than trying to find out if | noticed any of her schemes.”

“What? Excited?! Me? Hah! Never!” Benjamin gasped in horror, jumping away from his boss because it seemed

Zoren could hear his thoughts whenever he was too close. “Sir, you know just how much | don’t like Miss

Penelope! Even though she turned out to be the president of the PrGroup, that doesn’t excuse her actions at

first!”

Benjamin panted as he told Zoren every little lie he could. “Moreover, | can never trust her just because she’s an

acquaintance of Dane Pierson! We both know how cunning Dean Pierson is. And who knows? Miss Penelope

might just be acting and trying to earn your trust!”

“You're right. That's probably true.” Zoren nodded and strode off.

“You're... right?” Benjamin mumbled, watching his boss walk inside the house before he gasped. He covered his

gaping mouth, wide-eyed. “Oh, no! Did | overdo it?!”

His only goal was not to look suspicious in front of Zoren because Penny believed they were

being watched. Hence, Benjamin was picking on Penny at every turn. However, it was hard to

stay mean to someone to whom he knew he owed an apology. Even so, he didn’t want to let Penny down.

But if Benjamin overdid it and Zoren decided his assistant was making sense, then that was akin to ending the

budding romance between the Thursday Girl and Thursday Guy.

“1111” He panicked and sprinted inside, needing to correct the situation.

When Benjamin got in, Zoren was still in the living area. Zoren was slumped on the couch, his

head on the backrest, eyes closed.

“Bo-sir?” Benjamin carefully approached. “Are you okay?”

“Mhm,” Zoren hummed. “I'm a little exhausted.”

Benjamin could see that. He studied his boss curiously. Even though Zoren looked exhausted to the point that he

couldn’t even go to his room, there was scolor on him.

The tip of Zoren’s ear was red, his cheeks pinkish, and there was scolor on his lips. His breathing was deep

and heavy. Normally, Zoren would be too pale to exist. Hence, he didn’t usually tire himself, as he might end up

fainting. There was slingering sweat on the side of his neck, but in a way, his complexion was a hundred

times better than usual.

‘Wow...'Benjamin was momentarily stunned, only noticing this now. ‘He looks like a participant in a marathon,

who is taking a rest... and not a patient who is taking a rest because he might faint at any moment.”

“This is the first time... I've seen him with such vibrant colors.” A thought crossed Benjamin’s mind

because, for the first time, Zoren didn’t look like he would die anytsoo

‘Sir... it was a good date, wasn't it!?'he cried mentally, proud and relieved that his boss's first real date seemed

to be a success. ‘I should tell Miss Penny about it. Please don’t get a divorce and stay married! I'll be loyal to the

two of you, so live a long happy life together!” 3
