Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 1587

Chapter 1587: It’s impossible

The next morning in the lab...

Penny and Zoren idled outside their home, her hand resting on his chest while her other arm was around his shoulder. Zoren lowered his head, his hand on her back, and planted a short, soft kiss on her lips.

When he drew his head back, his eyes softened. Her lips curled into a smile as she quietly said,

"See you later?"

A soft hum slipped past his closed lips as he nodded. "I’ll pick you up later."

The two of them smiled at each other before he stole another soft peck from her lips.

All the bodyguards present wore bitter expressions, their backs turned to the couple. It was so early in the morning, and yet, these two were already feeding them diabetes.

"I think it’s the coffee that spoiled my stomach," Angel muttered, looking everywhere except the front door.

The bodyguard next to him in Zoren’s car nodded, his eyes also averted from the couple’s display of affection. "It’s definitely the coffee — or maybe, the sugar."

Though they weren’t sure if sugar could spoil — they had never seen that before — they all just blamed it on the poor, innocent coffee.

Normally, this discomfort would be shared only by Mark or Angel and the driver with them. After all, Penny and Zoren often went to the office together. But whenever Zoren didn’t drop her off, it was always like this.

They should’ve been numb to it by now, but for some reason, they weren’t.

After what felt like an eternity, the couple finally parted ways. As usual, Zoren walked Penny to her car and opened the backseat door for her.

"Are you heading to the laboratory tonight?" he asked, holding the door open for her.

Penny smacked her lips, thinking it over. "Well, I should, since there’s still work I need to focus on."

"I’ll see you there, then."

"Mhm."

With that, Penny jumped into the backseat while Zoren carefully closed the door behind her. He waved at her one last time before heading to the other car, which he would use to travel to his early meeting.

As their cars drove away from the driveway, their day started like usual.

Meanwhile, in the lab...

Professor Singh quietly entered the laboratory to pick something up. Since his team was working in a different department, he wasn’t expecting anyone in the lab. However, the moment he walked in, he saw a figure at one of the counters.

Deep lines appeared between his brows as he studied the person’s back. The figure was seated on a stool, wearing just his inner dress shirt, while his blazer was draped across the counter.
