Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 317

Chapter 317: Very bored

Penny and Hugo lingered in Atlas’s office for another hour before bidding their eldest brother farewell. Atlas still had a lot of work and a meeting to attend.

In the parking lot where Hugo and Penny had met earlier, the two of them walked side by side.

"Headed home now?" Hugo asked as he walked her to her car.

"Mhm. I think so. I don’t have any work today; I finished everything yesterday."

"No wonder you were so tired."

They stopped when they reached her car, with Hugo watching as she opened the driver’s side door. Instead of getting in, Penny rested her palm on the door and looked back at him.

"What about you, Second Brother?" she asked out of genuine curiosity. "Are you headed home now?"

Among the Bennet siblings, Hugo was the most free-spirited, without any work obligations. After all, the man was on vacation leave, so he had plenty of idle time.

"I’m meeting some old friends," Hugo said, leaning his arm on the door. "Want to come? I’m helping with the bachelor party preparations. It’s the least I could do. They’d love you to be there!"

"Hmm. Maybe next time." Penny smiled. "I’ll probably just go home for now and rest."

"Okay." He nodded and stepped back, still holding the door as she got in. Before closing it, he bent over slightly. "Penny, take care, okay?"

"Yes, Second Brother."

"If you change your mind, give me a call. I’ll pick you up."

"Mhm." She smiled and nodded, watching as her brother carefully closed the door for her. After buckling her seatbelt, she glanced at the windshield, only to see Hugo approaching the car parked across from hers.

"I’m glad he’s been meeting his friends a lot," she mumbled. "Second Brother is always the nicest. Although... I wonder what kind of help he’s even giving for a bachelor party. It’s not like he’s ever had one or been to one."

Shaking her head, Penny dismissed the thought as she started the car engine. Hugo beamed at her, signaling for her to go first. Without further ado, Penny drove out of the parking spot, with Hugo following behind.

The two of them went their separate ways after leaving the underground parking lot, with Penny heading home and Hugo taking the opposite road.

[Miss Penelope, you didn’t see that coming, did you? That’s what will happen to Dean Pierson if he ever crosses the line.]

[It is not I who is walking on eggshells.]

[I hope outsmarting you once will add some credibility to the name Zoren Pierson.]
