The irritated look on Benjamin's face quickly disappeared, replaced by a hint of shock. His eyes slowly widened as he gazed at the two figures in the living area.
There, seated on the couch, was Penny. She was sitting casually, lazily, her legs crossed. Her hair was still a little messy, with her fingers resting through it. On the other couch across from her was Zoren.
Usually, Zoren was ready to go to work by this hour. However, his boss was still in his dress shirt, the first three buttons left open. There were evident creases on his clothes, an unusual sight. Most importantly, his hair was left uncombed, cascading down his knitted brows.
'Did they fight?' Benjamin wondered, noticing that both of them carried dark expressions, as if they were ready to kill. Zoren especially looked deeply upset. 'Should I go in or not? I feel like if I take another step, I'll step on a landmine.'
