[SKYLINE PLAZA: ZOREN’S]
"So, these people are officially hired, huh?" Zoren held Penny in his arms as they idly lounged on the couch. His gaze remained on the résumés in her hand, which she was showing him.
Penny looked up at him. "What do you think of them?"
"Nothing," he replied before his dark eyes shifted to Patricia’s résumé. "Although, I am surprised you ended up hiring Patricia Miller."
If it had been up to Zoren, Patricia would be gone—disappeared somewhere in the wild where no one could find her. After what she did to him months ago, he would’ve punished her far more severely. If not for Penny, that punishment would have already been carried out.
Surely, his wife make him a better person.
"I know, right?" Penny clicked her tongue, snapping her eyes to Patricia’s profile. "But, well, I already meddled in her business, so I had no choice but to hire her in the end."
Penny hadn’t originally planned to hire Patricia. The woman amused her, but not enough to justify giving her a position. Though Patricia’s enthusiasm was admirable—especially considering she usually reserved it for vile and selfish deeds—it wasn’t enough.
That was why Penny hadn’t thought much of it when Grace mentioned in passing that she’d seen Patricia at the courthouse. So why did she hire her? Because of how things played out today. Besides, Penny was becoming more and more intrigued by Cassandra.
By keeping Patricia, she knew there were endless opportunities to cross paths with the woman.
In a way, Patricia could consider this the luck of a lifetime.
"Even though I said that, are you really fine with it?" Penny asked, studying Zoren’s face. "If you haven’t forgiven her, I can still change my decision."
Zoren smiled and shook his head. "It’s your company, Penny. Who am I to interfere?"
"You’re my husband."
"A husband who believes in and trusts his wife," he returned just as quickly, his smile widening. "It’s alright, Penny. Whether I’ve forgiven her or not doesn’t matter, as long as she doesn’t burden you anymore."
"Hehe." Penny giggled, squeezing herself against his side as she glanced at the papers in her hand. "Look at this one."
She showed him Hayley’s résumé. "Impressive, isn’t it?"
"Is it?" Zoren skimmed through the file briefly before giving his wife a look. "If you were a man, do you think you’d consider her a love interest?"
"What?" She blinked. "Renren, that’s so random. Didn’t you see where she used to work?"
"I did, but I’m more curious about this matter."
"Oh." Penny puffed her cheeks, studying his ever-unchanging expression. Was this a trick question? She pondered for a moment before grinning. "If I were a man, I’d still bend for you."
