章 317: Very bored

Penny and Hugo lingered in Atlas's office for another hour before bidding their eldest brother farewell. Atlas still had a lot of work and a meeting to attend.

In the parking lot where Hugo and Penny had met earlier, the two of them walked side by side.

"Headed home now?" Hugo asked as he walked her to her car.

"Mhm. I think so. I don't have any work today; I finished everything yesterday."

"No wonder you were so tired."

They stopped when they reached her car, with Hugo watching as she opened the driver's side door. Instead of getting in, Penny rested her palm on the door and looked back at him.

"What about you, Second Brother?" she asked out of genuine curiosity. "Are you headed home now?"

Among the Bennet siblings, Hugo was the most free-spirited, without any work obligations. After all, the man was on vacation leave, so he had plenty of idle time.
