Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 1508

Chapter 1508: What did you think having children was?

If Yugi were to describe this feeling, it would be strange. Having Zoren in his office was something Yugi hadn’t imagined. Zoren might have visited Prime Group more often than one would expect, but he always had one destination: Penny’s office.

This was the first time Zoren had come into Yugi’s office.

"What... did you say?" Yugi pushed himself up to sit, his eyes fixed on Zoren. "You... what?"

Zoren exhaled heavily, trying to contain the growing displeasure in his heart. One could count how many times Zoren had gotten angry in his life, and none of those moments had ended well. Only when Penny came into his life had he been able to find the peace he never thought he would have.

Still, this situation was upsetting.

"I came today to cheer up my wife because she’s had a lot on her mind since last night," he explained. "However, when I arrived, her assistants were already in her office, sharing a feast. I know I should be glad that she was not upset anymore, but... I am."

Zoren should have been the one in there, not them.

"..." Yugi blinked several times, studying Zoren in disbelief. ’I know Penny told me he’s affectionate, and I’m convinced he is because he often makes time to visit his wife.’

But...

The more Yugi thought about what Zoren had just said, the more his face twisted. "So, that’s why you’re here?"

"It’s wrong to kick four people out of the company," Zoren remarked without hesitation, his face serious. "I don’t mind if you transfer them to a different department. Or better yet, send them to Pierson Corporation so Prime Group doesn’t have to pay salaries to four extras."

Yugi was speechless again. He tried to say something but ended up closing his mouth.

This was ridiculous.

"Uh." Yugi massaged his forehead, trying to process it. "Wait. Let me be clear. You’re asking me to hire you as Penny’s assistant?"

"I will replace those four. I’m certain I can do all their work—ten times more efficiently."

"And I don’t doubt that, but what about Pierson Corporation?"

"First Brother can take my place," Zoren answered without a second thought, locking eyes with Yugi. "Initially, I had a lot of hesitation. But I just realized today that if I love someone, I should fight for them."

"..." Yugi’s face twisted, now regretting his earlier invitation to "come in."

"Calm down," he sighed in defeat. "Let’s talk about this first, alright?"

As Yugi offered that, he suddenly felt a strange sense of familiarity. It felt like déjà vu. After all, not long ago, Yugi had been a little surprised when the Bennet Brothers started crowding his office because they couldn’t find their sister.

Now, I somehow understand Penny, he thought. It’s kinda scary having these unexpected visits that aren’t related to the company.

*****

Yugi and Zoren weren’t really close. They knew each other, but aside from today, their only interactions had been brief greetings. However, Penny constantly mentioned her husband—more like bragged about him.

Penny might be wrong, he thought. She didn’t need to brainwash this guy.
