"Bennets!" Lily grinned as she saw that all the Bennets were present. Her face brightened when she saw Slater and Hugo, who were always so reliable and supportive in situations like this! When she saw Mark, her mouth stretched even wider.
"Mark, you made it!" Lily rushed outside, stopping in front of Penny. "Penny, let’s go in — oh! Everyone’s arriving one after another. Hi there~!"
Lily happily waved at the people approaching the gymnasium from a distance before turning her attention back to Penny.
"Penny, let’s go in! I want you to see the venue and everything! There’s even a mascot of you — it’s so cute!" Lily exclaimed excitedly. "Let’s go in! Let’s go in!"
"Aight~!" Slater mused happily, bumping his shoulder against Atlas. "First Brother, let’s go in!"
Atlas’s expression froze, the weight of his decision finally sinking in. But before he could say anything, Penny suddenly hooked her arm around his. Slowly, Atlas turned to his sister, only to see her smiling.
"First Brother, I’m so thankful that you motivated me to come today," Penny said, smiling at him. "How about I be your muse today? Or should I make you my muse?"
"I was just teasing you," Atlas blurted out in panic, but Penny had already turned away from him to face Lily.
"Lily, show us around!" Penny said, which Lily happily agreed to. And just like that, Lily led them inside the gymnasium, with Penny still holding onto her first brother’s arm.
As soon as they all stepped inside, Slater’s eyes sparkled when he saw Penny’s face everywhere!
"Is this Heaven?" Slater wondered genuinely, looking around in awe. "Lily, you’re amazing."
"She’s a genius, indeed," Hugo nodded in satisfaction.
"Second Brother, look!" Slater tugged at Hugo’s arm, pointing at the mascot. "There’s a mascot over there! Let’s show her your wings!"
Slater didn’t wait for his second brother’s response as he already dragged Hugo with him. Penny’s and Atlas’s faces twitched, both in disbelief at Slater’s and Hugo’s reactions. They were clearly Penny’s biggest fans, unable to see what was wrong with the situation.
"Lily, is there anything else we need to do?" Ginnie asked Lily, and the latter reassured her that everything was fine now. "Well, then, I’ll welcome everyone! I told Miss Sandford that I’d wait for her. Even Penny’s dad and uncle said they’d come, so I’ll join the welcome team."
Lily nodded at her, watching Ginnie wave before heading back to the entrance. "So! What do you think?!" she asked, looking at both Penny and Atlas with hope and curiosity.
Penny and Atlas looked around, with Penny nearly fainting from shock. They almost forgot that Mark was still standing behind them, sharing the same horrified look on his face. Mark didn’t know whether this pleased him or not, knowing that this was Penny’s karma.
"It’s..." horrible, but Atlas couldn’t bring himself to say it as he felt a pinch on his side. "Ouch."
Atlas turned to Penny, only to see her flash Lily a bright smile.
"It’s good!" Penny blurted out, as if it took a lifetime of energy to say it. "Lily, it’s amazing!"
"Aww..." Lily placed a hand on her chest. "You’re welcome, Penny. Anything for you, of course. I’m so glad you liked it."
’No, she didn’t like it,’ was what Atlas and Mark wanted to say to Lily, but Atlas was afraid he’d get another pinch on the side. As for Mark, he simply didn’t want to speak out of turn.
"Anyway, your husband!" Lily clapped. "Where is he? Isn’t he coming?"
"Oh, him...? Haha. No, he’s busy," said Penny, but more like she didn’t invite Zoren because this was embarrassing!
Lily frowned. "That’s weird. I thought he was coming. This is a big day for his wife. He should come. Don’t worry. I’ll arrange that!"
"Arrange, what?"
"For now, I’ll show you guys around — oh, wait!" Lily paused, not explaining how she would "arrange" Zoren’s spot. She turned to the side, catching someone waving at her. "Oh, right."
Lily faced Penny and Atlas, smiling. "I’ll show you around later. I mean, there are already drinks and food ready. You two can check out the bulletin and the posters. I just need to do something. I’ll see you around!"
Having said that, Lily didn’t wait any longer and fled. But just as she was a few meters away, she sprinted back to them.
He did.
