Bab 263: Toast

"Don't worry. I'm not interested in whatever family affairs you guys have. I don't like complicated."

Dean assessed her nonchalant side profile before a satisfied smile appeared on his face. He nodded and turned toward the door, hearing the 'ding' of the elevator and stepping out just in time.

"Right, Penny, I actually wanted to discuss business..." He turned around, thinking she was following him. However, as soon as he turned, he saw the elevator door closing with her waving from inside.

"Thanks for the free pass. See you!" she beamed.

Dean took a step forward, but the door closed. "What?" he whispered, glancing up at the numbers above the elevator. "She's going up?"

Wasn't the top floor his uncle's office?

His smile quickly faded as he wondered what was going on between Penny and Zoren.

"She just said she's not interested. What is she up to now?" he hissed, heading to the other elevator.
