Half an hour later…
"Wait, Renren!" Penny clasped Zoren's arm to stop him from getting into the car.
He paused, glancing at her hand, then back to her eyes. "Yes?"
"Hehe." Penny chuckled, raising her brows. "Are you sure you're going to meet my eldest brother?"
Zoren nodded. "Are you sure you don't want to come?"
Penny pressed her lips together, forcing a smile. She hesitated, tempted to tell him that while Atlas wasn't a fighter like Hugo, his words could be sharper than a dagger. But seeing the determination in Zoren's eyes, she didn't have the heart to stop him. Moreover, she believed in him!
"Never mind," she said, releasing his arm and stepping back. "Take care on your way. Let me know if you guys discuss anything important."
"Mhm." Zoren gave a subtle smile and nodded before stepping into the backseat of the car.
