Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress

349 Today's Thursday again

Days had passed in the blink of an eye.

Penny busied herself at the office, and with her brother's help, her company began its

operations.

"Thank you all for your hard work and patience," Penny said, standing in front of a few people in her office.

All of them were in suits or smart casual attire. Although this was the first tshe had seen them here, she

knew they were all people she could trust from the first branch.

"It tookquite stime, but here we are today. Sof our friends and colleagues won't move here until

matters from the other branch are settled," said Penny. "Yugi won't be here to facilitate the negotiations and

handle sof the matters under his jurisdiction. However, do

not fret. I am here"

The people standing in front of her gave short, confident smiles, nodding.

"Now, off you go, Penny said with a jerk of her chin. Today's the first day, and we'll have a lot of work to do. Let's

celebrate after getting things done."

"Yes, ma'am!" one of the men saluted briefly before they all turned around to leave her office.

Penny stayed in her spot, smiling as she watched them leave. When the door closed, she breathed out and

smiled brightly. Turning around, she looked around her office with a bright smile.

"My office... hehe. She giggled as she sauntered toward the desk. Her fingertips trailed along the edge of her

desk as she smiled at it in satisfaction. "Nina really gotthe desk | asked for" Penny moved the swivel chair

and sat down in it.

This wasn't the first office she had. The main branch of PrGroup had a bigger building and a larger corner

office for her. However, Penny felt more at hnow that her office in Anteca was done.

Looking at the stack of papers in front of her, she stretched her fingers.

"Let's get all of these done, Penny," she told herself before diligently starting to work.

Penny had been working even before setting up her office. Despite that, there was still more that needed to be

done. That wasn't a problem for her at all. As someone who was a workaholic in her previous life, to the point of

almost dying from exhaustion, this was nothing. Tpassed without Penny noticing. Even during lunch, she

didn't take her eyes off her work while munching. It was a good thing everyone working directly under her knew

her work habits; they didn't bother her all day.

"Oh?" Penny stretched her arms up, her back arching as she noticed the orange rays of the sunset filtering

through the glass. Turning her head, her lips curled up, and she looked at her

clean desk with satisfaction.

"Almost done," she told herself, knowing she had finished eighty percent of the work she had today. "What a

productive day to start the business."

Although she worked nonstop the whole day, Penny had learned from her first life when to stop. Since it was

almost night, she automatically stopped. As she organized the finished documents and cleaned her desk, she

noticed her phone on the side. "Hmm?" She reached out for the phone, only to see countless messages and

emails. "Why is Slater bombardingagain?"

Penny shook her head and ignored it, resuming cleaning her desk. Once she finished, she leaned back and

closed her eyes.

Now that I'm done, | feel tired,’ she told herself, but her smile remained. Though I'm glad for

sreason."

To be fair, Penny was often diligent with her work. However, she felt extra diligent today, as if her entire body

wanted her to finish as soon as possible.

"I didn't have any appointments today, did I?" she mumbled, snapping her eyes to the little calendar on the side

of her desk just to make sure. When her eyes fell on it, her smile slowly

faded.

Thursday.

"Today is Thursday," she whispered, her jaw tightening once more.

Penny stared at the date with her lips drawn into a thin line. "Was that the reason | was in a hurry today?" she

wondered, recalling she was always in a hurry every Thursday. Not that Penny hadn't realized it until now, but

she never really thought about it. But now that it cto her, she realized why she was always in a hurry every

Thursday all these years. Back then, she was always in a rush on Thursdays to meet Renren. It was a habit she

picked up because of him.

"He's not gonna go there again, is he?" she wondered to herself, thinking of how Zoren would cto the side of

the street for hours. "Should | ask him out?

Thinking that she had to do something about it, Penny reached for her phone to give Zoren a call. Today, she had

a reason to call him. Her office was running, and she could just say she wanted to celebrate it with him.. But

when Penny checked the countless messages, her face twitched.

"Why do Slater and that Benjamin think they can spamlike this?" Her face contorted as she scrolled through

Slater's messages to he

[From: Third Brother

Congratulations on your company. | asked my manager to printa huge photo of me. You can use it to

promote your company, and I'll tell you, your phones will never stop ringing.]

"Even without his picture, my phone wouldn't stop pinging, she murmured in dismay, concluding that her third

brother had nothing important to say. She decided to exit out of the messages.

When she did, she noticed smessages from other family members: Charles, Allison, Jessa, Nina, Atlas, and

sof Penny's close friends. She smiled but didn't respond to them for now. She then moved on to Benjamin's

messages. Just like Slater, Benjamin bombarded her phone like crazy. The only difference was that Slater's

messages reeked of vanity, but Benjamin's reeked of panic.

Miss Penny, what am | going to do?! Today, your husband is meeting that fake Thursday Girl at his place!! | can't

take this anymore, Miss Penny! Chere or I'll call Old Mrs. Pierson, so she can separate them!]

Penny scrolled up, her face twitching because Benjamin's next message carried a different tone.

[From: Mr. Vitt amin deficient

Miss Penny, my heart aches for you. | don't think | can survive anymore. | can't stop my tears...]

Penny didn't read the rest and simply skimmed through his next messages. Her lips drew into a thin line as she

thought about what to do. While she was thinking, she suddenly heard a knock on the door. "Cin," she

called, watching the person outside peek his head in. Her brows furrowed. "Second Brother? What are you doing

here?"
