The next day...
"Going to the office?" Zoren asked as soon as he caught Penny entering the walk-in closet from the bathroom.
Penny glanced at her husband, who was standing in front of the drawer while putting on his watch. "My meeting with the girls is later, but I’m dropping by the office."
"Mhm."
"Renren." Penny sauntered toward the drawer full of accessories, leaning her arm against the top. She waited for him to look in her direction before asking, "Is there a person named Jonathan Pierson in your family?"
"Hmm?" For a second, her question took Zoren by surprise. It had been days since Penny confessed to him, but she had been busy fighting with herself, and her energy would’ve been depleted by the time she grew sober.
Perhaps a night of not drinking helped her.
"Nina’s husband?" he asked after a moment, and she nodded.
"The drunken Penny told you?"
"Mhm. She remembered him, but she said she couldn’t remember what he looked like." Zoren walked closer to her. "There’s no one in the family with such a name."
"I know that, but I just want to make sure there isn’t anyone like that." Penny furrowed her brows, casting her eyes down. "That’s weird."
"It is strange," he said. "Patricia Miller said the person who sent her is Jonathan Pierson."
Penny snapped her eyes back to him. "Then that means... there’s someone like him? He exists?"
"I’m still not sure. My men are investigating."
Another wave of silence fell on their shoulders as they stared at each other. That name came from both the past life and the current one. Yet, as of the moment, both Penny and Zoren were certain there was no man named Jonathan Pierson in the family registry.
’How come Nina married him then?’ Penny wondered. ’Nina married that guy from the Pierson family. Although I can’t remember his position, I’m sure there’s someone named Jonathan Pierson in the Pierson family, and Nina married him for whatever reason.’
"I’ll let you know once I get another lead," Zoren’s voice snapped her out of her thoughts, making her smile.
Penny walked over to him until she was standing in front of him, reaching out to fix his tie. "This feels nice."
"It is."
"I’m talking about being able to discuss something with this current one and the previous life," she clarified, smiling at him playfully. "But also about being able to act as a wife who is about to send her husband off to work after fixing your tie."
Zoren let out a shallow laugh, standing still while she adjusted his tie. "Let me know if you get a lead too."
"Of course." Penny nodded. "I already asked Yugi to look into it, and also Uncle Wild."
