"Wai — wait—!" Theo panicked and mindlessly grabbed Benjamin’s arm. The latter stopped and looked back at him, his brows furrowed as he glanced at his arm and then up to the pair of eyes mirroring his.
"Mister—Mister Vitt, you said Miss Penelope is waiting for us," said Theo, his voice tinged with panic and confusion, watching Benjamin nod. "Then, why are we—ah, ahem!—why are we heading to the CEO’s office?"
Even Mister Miller, who was standing with them, could feel his son’s panic. Weren’t they here to meet Penny? How come Benjamin was leading them to the CEO’s office? Was this a trap? Considering the shame Patricia had put upon their family with the rumors about an unfounded relationship with Zoren Pierson, both men felt alarmed.
What was Penny thinking?
What was she planning?
As Theo and his father’s thoughts grew more negative by the second, Benjamin flashed them a polite smile.
"Do not worry," he said. "Miss Penny only asked you to meet her here because she was already here when you called. She didn’t want to travel far since she has other matters to attend to and won’t be in her office until later in the afternoon."
Benjamin casually pulled his arm from Theo’s grip. "She already mentioned that you’d be coming, so there’s no need to worry. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have come down to welcome such distinguished guests."
Theo and his father were rendered speechless, staring at Benjamin with wide eyes. Their mouths fell slightly open, unable to articulate their thoughts at the moment.
Penny simply asked them to meet her there because she was already there and didn’t have time to go back to her office?
What kind of ridiculous excuse was that?
Both father and son had initially thought that Penny would be using a small room for her business. Penny borrowing a room at the Pierson Corporation was already a huge achievement—it was considered a display of power for both of them.
But the biggest corner office on the top floor? The CEO’s office?
How grateful was Zoren Pierson to Penny for him to let her borrow such a personal space?
At this point, father and son could only watch as Benjamin knocked on the door listlessly. A plethora of questions were running through their minds, unable to distinguish whether they were impressed or scared.
This was the Pierson Corporation, not just any other company. The Millers would never compare to this family, even if they spent all their lives running their "little" business.
"Come in."
Benjamin smiled and glanced back at the father and son duo. "Please, follow me."
"Mister... Mister Pierson," Theo breathed nervously, his face draining of color. ’What is he doing here?’
