Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 276

Chapter 276: Chunchun’s birthday

[From: Mr. Pierson]

Sometimes two heads are better than one. Should we meet today to discuss this problem and perhaps resolve it quickly? It would be better than exchanging messages. After all, this matter is now also my problem.]

For a moment, silence filled the CEO’s office as Benjamin and Zoren stared quietly at the phone.

"Sir..." Benjamin’s eyes lit up as he turned to Zoren. "Miss Penelope is willing to help!"

A broad smile stretched across his face, and hope clearly shone in his eyes.

"Sir, this is good news!" Benjamin took a step closer, excited. "If we can get her to play along or help with the planning, we might resolve this quickly! After all, if Miss Penelope is the one to explain your separation, the chairwoman will believe it."

Zoren reconsidered and nodded. "Fair enough, but not today."

"Sir..." Benjamin felt like tearing his hair out. "Why?!"

"Thursday today."

Benjamin almost choked as he remembered Zoren’s fixed Thursday plans in the afternoon to evening. As he tried to mend his broken heart and hoped Penny would understand, he heard Zoren’s voice.

"I’m sorry, I can’t today. I have an important appointment."

Sent!

[From: Mr. Pierson]

I’m sorry, I can’t today. I have an important appointment.]

Penny dropped her phone and buried her face in her palms.

"Fine," she huffed. "It’s okay, Penny. This is nothing. He’s a busy man, and important meetings that he can’t reschedule happen."

As a businesswoman herself, Penny knew this better than anyone. After all, she had canceled many plans and minor appointments in the past for more important matters.

Penny snapped her eyes up and looked at herself in the mirror. "I guess I’m... panicking a little too much. If he’s calm, there’s no need for me to worry, right?" She nodded at herself and smiled, gently slapping her cheeks until they turned a little red.

"Well, I offered. No need to panic. It’s just a piece of paper — nothing’s changed." She winked at herself.

It wasn’t like Penny had to get a divorce immediately. The only reason she was in a hurry initially was that she didn’t know Zoren Pierson personally. But now, she knew a lot more about him: his life, his position, where he lived, and his illness.

If she wanted more, she could just read more of the files he sent.

So, there was no hurry... for now.

With Penny managing to recompose herself, she smiled beautifully and was ready to start her day.

"Thank you, and come again!" Penny joyfully bid the customer goodbye, making Allison chuckle and shake her head. Turning to her mother behind the counter, Penny giggled and jumped over to where Allison was.

"Penny, you don’t have to bid all the customers so enthusiastically. You’re making them a little embarrassed," Allison gently scolded with a chuckle. "But we appreciate your help today. If not for you, Jessa would be breathing fire."
