"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.
